Tom recently finished producing George Thorogood’s latest CD 2120 South Michigan Avenue.  In February 2011, he received a Grammy® for Best Contemporary Blues Album (Producer of Buddy Guy’sLiving Proof) which also garnered him 3 Blues Music Awards. We will also spin some cuts from Tom’s latest solo release BOOM! which is a collection of bluesy rock and roll. Truth & Salvage Company Then we sit with the guys from The Truth & Salvage Company. This band from the LA area plays a blend of southern rock and country and they do it well. So well in fact that Chris Robinson (Black Crowes) signed them to his label and produced their 2011 self-titled debut album. With four excellent vocalists they have garnered a great deal of publicity and are gaining fans as they travel the country in their van dubbed "Champion". David Fricke from Rolling Stone wrote "This sly California sextet draw on irresistible history (Buffalo Springfield, the Band) to spell out the modern trials of peace and love…" We will discuss their history and future while enjoying cuts from their debut album. Once again, we owe thanks to Krista Hughes who brought these guys to my attention.

In 2010 they released their debut album I Get Blamed for Everything I Do on the Hillgrass Bluebilly label and since then have been playing at festivals and packing clubs. On February 21, 2011, guitarist Jim Chilson joined me on Music On The Couchto discuss the band and their history, as well as where their distinctive sound came from. Not your average blues band, 10 Foot Polecats are leaders in the new wave of blues music and don't plan on stopping any time soon.                                                             The List So Far: Auckland Blues Society Darren Watson & The Real Deal Blues Band - Band Grafton Blues Society John Stano - Solo/Duo Kentucky Blues Society RB Stone & Scott Wilson - Solo/Duo Minnesota Blues Society Annie Mack & Tom Kochie - Solo/Duo Blues Alliance Of The Treasure Coast Joel Zoss - Solo/Duo Blues Society of NW Florida John "Fingers" Fuller - Solo/Duo John Hart & Fatty Waters - Band Boston Blues Society Shirley Lewis & Bob Comancho -Solo/Duo A Ton Of Blues - Band Long Island Blues Society T-Bone & Mr. Bill - Solo/Duo Gary Sellers Band - Band NE Ohio Blues Association Memphis Cradle - Band Phoenix Blues Society Common Ground Blues Band - Band Pomeroy Blues & Jazz Society Ellie Lee & Blues Fury - Band Suncoast Blues Society Franc Roberts - Solo/Duo Selwyn Birchwood Band - Band Billtown Blues Society The Porkroll Project - Band Black Swamp Blues Society Tom & Alex Clawson - Solo/Duo Blueridge Blues Association Skinny Velvet - Band Blues Society Of Tulsa James Groves - Solo/Duo Wanda Watson Band - Band Blues Society of Western Pennsylvania Chris Yakopcic - Solo/Duo Cascade Blues Society Madman Sam - Solo/Duo Robbie Laws Band - Band Central Iowa Blues Society Bryce Janey - Solo/Duo The Candymakers - Band The Cincy Blues Society Brian Keith Wallen - Solo/Duo Grand River Blues Society Conor Gains Band - Band Granite State Blues Society Arthur James - Solo/Duo Gulf Coast Blues Society Johnny No - Band Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival  Ross Neilsen - Solo/Duo Indiana Blues Society Dickie James & The Blue Flames - Band Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Foundation Norman Taylor - Solo/Duo Magic City Blues Society 2blu - Solo/Duo Lefty Collins Band - Band Omaha Blues Society Little Slim Blues Band - Band San Angelo Blues Society Danny Brooks - Solo/Duo South Florida Blues Society Blues Dragon - Band Toronto Blues Society The 24th Street Wailers- Band
