Sorry to trouble you but I am a member of Heath Tyler’s Feedback guitar. Lately I am unable to access his website or contact him! Do you have a solution?
You guys should have been at the Juke Joint Festival in Clarksdale MS in April. Among many others, Junior Kimbrough's son Robert was there, performing with some other family members. It was an amazing four days of blues at venues all over town. Two Burnsides, Kent and Duwayne, carried on the R.L. tradition in separate performances. Kenny Brown, a white guitarist from the hill country, was way better live than in videos I’ve heard, and he was joined by Charlie Musselwhite for a few numbers. There was even a guitarist, Carlos Elliot, from the "hill country" of Colombia. My favorite solo act though, and one of my top picks over all, was Terry “Harmonica” Bean. I liked one set so much I came back later and listened until he packed up for the night. Beautiful guitar, vocals, and harmonica, and great stories in between. He’s in his 60s claims to share ancestry with both Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson as well as the famous prizefighter Jack Johnson. Check out 13 minutes of interview and music here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPnKHn-Zj-Q&ab_channel=StoryStateatMississippiStateUniversity
Another highlight was harmonica master, vocalist, and storyteller Charlie Musselwhite with guitarist Kirk Fletcher. Charlie just turned 80 and is still going strong. They were joined for a few numbers by up-and-coming 17-year-old bluesman Harrell “Young Rell” Davenport. Classic tunes with modern touches. Charlie's daughter Layla was also at the festival, playing some fine slide.
I so wanted to go! But I had to be elsewhere for a wedding. Maybe next year - it sounds like a blast. Love Clarksdale. And I recently discovered the music of Terry "Harmonica" Bean. He's great! Hope to see him play one day. He's definitely on my podcast interview wish-list.
