This site is filled with great blues from Chicago and all of over the world. The video search engine at Chicago Blues is amazing. Everything from the easy to think (BB King) to the most obscure greats (Honeyboy Edwards).

One of those days when majesty and glory seem to be in the fresh scarlet lit air. It was a day for discovery and I wanted to find some new music, a new band to listen to and share with my friends. I went to that awe-inspiring compendium of video on the web YouTube to try and find some new Independent Music groups. To my amazement I found nothing but the big major label brand names that are everywhere anyway. I wanted to find new music! What's a body to do?

Sara Lynn is the Canadian contribution to the Country music scene. She brings as sweet a voice as one could hope to hear on a sunny day out on the road, out on the job or at the local dig – where her new music video is pitched. She might be Canadian and have some in Nashville hold them selves aloof, but her heart and soul serenade you with the landscape and legend of country. The MusicTV Video Share site has The Sara Lynn video "Thing for You" with the bar scene, it is a real ripper and as country as it gets. Sun, 23 Sep 2007 12:38:50 -0500 http://www.musictv.com/web2/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=96 Bo Diddley, born Ellas Bates has undergone surgery after a heart attack during a physical examination. The 78-year-old musician known for the famous “Bo Diddley” beat memorialized by U2 on “Desire”, George Michael on “Faith”, Buddy Holly on “Not Fade Away,” and most famously by the Who on “Magic Bus” was recovering from a stroke he suffered in May that left him with impaired speech and distorted speech recognition. Bo Diddley was one of the great early innovators of Rock’n Roll and topped the charts in 1955 with the tune “Bo Diddley” which was followed by the monster hits “Who do you love” and “I’m A Man” covered by almost every rock band. Wed, 29 Aug 2007 03:05:05 -0500 http://www.musictv.com/web2/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=95 By Cindy Cantrell, LOWELL, MA -- During the days when Boston reggae fans knew her by her radio personality alter ego "Iriela," deejay Valerie Parker said she grew so inspired by the "unifying, uplifting" spirit of the music that she traveled to Jamaica to begin documenting its evolution in her film "Reggae Revolution" in 1998.

With his latest foray back in the music business Chubby has released a new top 40 charting hit “Knock Down the Walls” on TEEC Records. His cheery up-tempo tracks hide rather somber lyrics, which belie the aging rockers life outlook. Sat, 25 Aug 2007 13:19:09 -0500 http://www.musictv.com/web2/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=93 MANSFIELD -- Gods and monsters. Ozzfest 2007 had plenty of monstrous-looking (and often sounding) bands. And it had its deity, Ozzy Osbourne, who isn't usually ranked alongside those rock gods of smoldering looks and stunning voice. However, when the 58-year-old stepped onstage at the sold-out Tweeter Center on Monday, following a hilarious video montage spoofing such programs as "The Sopranos" and "Entourage," the raccoon-eyed star received a touchingly warm standing ovation. Wed, 22 Aug 2007 13:57:52 -0500 http://www.musictv.com/web2/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=92 There is no unifying theme to the Download Festival. Unlike Ozzfest, which attracts metal fans, or Vans Warped, a punk-inspired behemoth, the Download Festival, now in its fifth year, aims to deliver "the best in alternative and modern rock," a category that includes all the good bands that aren't out with Ozzfest or the Warped tour. As one observer remarked, Saturday's 10-hour fest was like an iPod shuffle -- thankfully, one that belonged to a music fan with excellent taste. Mon, 20 Aug 2007 19:06:36 -0500 http://www.musictv.com/web2/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=91 By Sharon Housley Independent artists have long struggled to gain recognition and attract an audience. Without the backing of a major label it can be very difficult for independent artists to obtain radio play time, that is, until now. Podcasting a revolutionary new medium, has opened new distribution channels for independent artists. Podcasting is the process of distributing audio files using the RSS format and has become very popular with the younger generations.

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 15:28:48 -0500 http://www.musictv.com/web2/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=89 Prince, the Artist Formerly Known as Prince, or Prince Rogers Nelson has stepped up to the plate with a free offering to the subjects of the Queen of England. While the record stores are screaming for lost sales Prince is proud and having London's Daily Mail hand out up to 2,000,000 copies inside their Sunday Daily Mail. This is just another step in marketing for Prince and a hand to the people in the UK. Sony and HMK records have refused to carry the product in stores claiming that such promotional tactics are destroying the record store.

The song "Blue Caravan" off the Shades of Blue CD is put to video from Richard A. Siegel "911 Raw" for a startling and powerful music video statement. Dedicated to the memory of the destruction of the three steel and cement skyscrapers that were destroyed in New York City on 9/11 and the lack of any murder investigation or criminal indictments.

Wed, 30 May 2007 11:26:54 -0500 http://www.musictv.com/web2/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=85 Four years ago Apple launched iTunes Music preaching cheap download at .99 cents and most of the albums at $9.99. Since then the digital download market has exploded as they pull in about $5,000,000 a day and the companies controlling the mass music industry are ready to squeeze every penny they can from their properties. Here we find you a cool alternative with Keane Downloads!

Mon, 09 Apr 2007 03:58:48 -0500 http://www.musictv.com/web2/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=83 In a big push with Apple the music industry is moving to save the “album format”. The record industry is adamant to keep the rewards of the past high-ticket price on their package, or “album format” against the digital download. The ability of choice and to take only the songs you like is reaping vast carnage on their huge profits.
