Song of the Day - October 24, 2005

Do you miss Jimi Hendrix? I do, and I often wonder what he would be doing if he were still alive. One listen to Ladell McLin and you will believe Jimi lives again. Ladell comes from the Chicago blues scene and grew up playing the guitar and learning the ropes from blues legends like Buddy Guy. On what I believe is his debut album Stand Out, McLin just shreds on his guitar and delivers awesome guitar solos that Jimi Hendrix himself would be proud of. One of my favorite tracks is "Mona Lisa," a bubbling brew of screaming blues licks and distorted guitar. Click here to listen.
