As the weekend winds to a close and the last bands start to pack it in and head back out to their homes or tours one thing is certain, a lot of music has passed our way. While MusicTV.com could not make this years SXSW we have the benefit of using SXSW TV to watch all the best that the South by Southwest music festival had to offer.


  

Blue Apple Blues (B.A.B.) Festival aims to crash beyond tried and true formulas by offering the blues scene fresh sounds and a new approach, fully revealing the deep microtonal language found in blues classics while inventing the mind-bending “notes-between-the-notes” blues standards of the future – by some of the finest and hippest New York City blues artists.

Today we found a whole bunch of new sites dedicated to various music artists and genre. 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).

  

It had been a glorious sunset on the mountains. 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?

  

Have you heard? No? Then you better get onto a listen! 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.

  

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.

Chubby is back and bad with a Lime twist at LimeLightTV.com. 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.
