Sometimes I feel the need to break away from my standard format. I have a desire to listen to something more...pure. So this post marks a break from the strictly "new" music I have been posting. We all know our musical tastes change, mine almost every 6 months. So here we go. A few years ago I was schooled on a musician named Paul Pena. He is probably best known for writing the song Jet Airliner, made famous by The Steve Miller Band, but Mr. Pena was more than that. He was a delta blues man turned Tuvan throat singer. He was a man born destine to loose his sight, and did so by the age of 20. He studied flamenco and morna music styles. He was...well, a great man and musician. That's all you really need to know. Not intrigued? Check the video below for a taste of his Tuvan throat singing, a sort of didgeridoo sounding style of singing, but without the didj. Amazing.Listen below for a little piece of his bluesier stuff. Gonna Move from the New Train record, a personal favorite.
