Black-Eyed News:
If you listen to this show a lot you know I am a huge fan of the Allman Bros and the Allman Bros were all over the news this week.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famers joined current and former members of the Allman Brothers Band for a 26-song salute to Gregg Allman Friday night in Atlanta. Sam Moore, Dr. John and Jackson Browne took turns interpreting Allman’s extensive catalog along with Vince Gill, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, John Hiatt, Zac Brown, Widespread Panic and others during "All My Friends: Celebrating the Songs & Voice of Gregg Allman," which was recorded to air on AXS TV in May. For the sold-out crowd at the historic 4,600-seat Fox Theatre, this rainy night in Georgia proved to be a dream jam.

For the first time in March of 1992 The Allman Brothers Band played a 10 night run at The Beacon Theatre in New York City. On February 18th Epic/Legacy Recordings will release Play All Night: Live at The Beacon Theatre 1992, a two disc set highlighting this historic run of shows. Kicking off on March 10th, these Beacon shows blended recent fan favorites like “Get On With Your Life,” “End Of The Line,” and “Nobody Knows” with such stone cold classics as “Statesboro Blues,” “Blue Sky,” “Jessica,” “Revival,” and of course, “Whipping Post,” all played with the distinctive invention and muscularity that defined this particular ABB line-up. Play All Night sees the Brothers unplug for a three-song acoustic interlude encompassing bare-boned renditions of Betts’ “Seven Turns” and Allman’s “Midnight Rider,” as well as a buoyant take on the Robert Johnson standard, “Come On In My Kitchen.”

Also available on February 18th is Live At Great Woods, a feature-length concert DVD filmed at Massachusetts’ Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts in September of 1991.

William Hurt has been cast as the present-day version of Gregg Allman in the upcoming biopic Midnight Rider, Variety reports. The actor, who won an Oscar for his role in 1985's Kiss of the Spider Woman, is joining a cast that already includes All American Rejects singer Tyson Ritter, who plays Allman as a young man, and Wyatt Russell as his brother Duane Allman.

And this is the last piece of Allman Bros news I promise:

The Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch Trucks, while aboard the Jam Cruise, shared the unexpected news that his nephew, guitarist Derek Trucks, will be leaving the band. Shortly afterwards, it was confirmed that Warren Haynes would also be departing. Both musicians have highly successful touring bands independent of the Brothers, with Trucks winning a Grammy in 2012.
Trucks and Haynes were both influential lead guitarists with The Allman Brothers. Trucks, a former child prodigy and now the driving guitarist behind the Grammy-winning Tedeschi Trucks Band, has been with the Brothers for 15 years, since he was twenty. Haynes, the roaring guitar genius behind Gov’t Mule, has been with the band since 1989.
The move comes shortly after (incorrect) news from a Rolling Stone Magazine article, from a statement by Gregg Allman, that longtime bassist Oteil Burbridge would be leaving the band. Burbridge and Butch Trucks adamantly denied the rumors, which appear to have simply been a matter of miscommunication.

Black-Eyed News:
The first story this week I briefly mentioned at the beginning of the show it’s about the Documentary Ain’t In It For My Health which is at Real Art Ways in Hartford. It is a documentary about Levon Helm the drummer for The Band.

Director Jacob Hatley's intimate documentary finds Mr. Helm at home in Woodstock, NY, in the midst of creating his first studio album in 25 years. Shot during the course of two-plus years, this highly anticipated film focuses in on the four-time Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member after his 2007 comeback album, Dirt Farmer, brought him back to the spotlight.

"For the fans left bereft by his 2012 death, it's impossible to imagine a more exquisite, honest, and beautifully detailed documentary about the life of Levon Helm than Jacob Hatley's Ain't in It for My Health." - Peter Gertsenzang, Village Voice

It is 83 minutes long and I recommend it to anyone that is a fan of The Band or Levon Helm.

American Blues Scene has a great review of the new Samantha Fish album to be released in September from our friends over at Ruf Records. If you want to read the review and also watch the first video that they shot for it the link will be in this week’s write up. Definitely go watch the video it was shot in a classic New Orleans club and is awesome.

Lastly this week’s interview from Blues Blast is with Willie “The Touch “ Hayes who was Magic Sam’s drummer. He had to decide whether or not to go out on the road with Magic Sam at the age of 16. His decision may surprise you. It’s one of the best interviews form Blues Blast in a while and definitely worth the read. You can also find out who else he played with and what he’s doing now.

Black-Eyed News:

The first story this week was the passing of the great singer Bobby “Blue” Bland at his home in Memphis due to complications from an ongoing illness. Bland was born in 1930 in Rosemark, Tennessee, outside Memphis. He began his career singing with a gospel group before joining the blues group the Beale Streeters, which included such future stars as B.B. King, Junior Parker and others.

Bland was drafted into the Army in 1952. After his release from the service in 1954, he resumed his musical career as a solo act and established a long-term professional relationship with Duke Records. Soon he had hits racing up the R&B charts, including "I Pity the Fool" and "That's the Way Love Is."

Bland often toured with his former bandmate King, and King was on hand to help induct the singer into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. Bobby Bland was 83.

A white Steinway grand piano salvaged from musician Fats Domino’s home after Hurricane Katrina has had its classic looks restored and will be the centerpiece of an exhibit in New Orleans’ French Quarter.

The piano was damaged after water poured through a broken levee during the August 2005 storm, flooding Domino’s home in the Lower 9th Ward.

Its restoration came through $30,000 donated to the Louisiana Museum Foundation.

The Ct music scene lost one of its own this past weekend.

Grayson Minney, the lead singer and guitarist for the group Columbia Fields, was killed in a car crash early Saturday morning.

According to police, Minney was on Route 85 in Hebron around 3:40 a.m. when he apparently lost control of his car. The car struck a guardrail, went airborne, and crashed into two large trees.

Columbia Fields, and Grayson Minney, have long been fixtures on the Connecticut music scene.

In 2010 the group won a competition to open for Bon Jovi at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Columbia Fields also won the Hartford Advocate’s “Best Indie Band” award in 2008, 2009, and 2010.

More recently, Grayson Minney was involved with the “Downtown Rocks For Newtown” benefit. Minney was 28 yrs old.
