Jay Gordon and Blues Venom - Live at Woodystock Blues Festival (2024)

Blues rocker Jay Gordon, whose guitar pyrotechnics often recall Jimi Hendrix, recorded this blistering, hour-long set at an outdoor festival in Laughlin, Nevada.

The program includes four Gordon originals plus fiery covers of three vintage blues classics, Willie Dixon’s “Hoochie Coochie Man,” Robert Johnson’s “Crossroads,” and Sonny Boy Williamson’s “Good Morning Little School Girl.” Also here are a dynamic reading of George Thorogood’s “I Drink Alone” and a Creedence Clearwater medley that pairs John Fogerty’s “Green River” with Dale Hawkins’s “Suzie Q.”
