The Run
Yesterday it was pretty cold in the morning, so I put off running until the afternoon. It was actually pretty nice in the early afternoon but when the sun started to go down it got chilly pretty fast. I ran the same 3.1 mile loop that I’ve been running since I resumed running back in October. It was a pretty easy, nondescript run. The GPS seemed just on target. Here are the results……

The Soundtrack
The soundtrack for the run was Welcome to My Blues by blues artist Sean Chambers. This is actually the second time this album has been used as a soundtrack for a run.
About Welcome to My Blues
Welcome to my Blues is Chambers’ 7th album on American Showplace Music. His last album Trouble & Whiskey was one of my favorite of 2017! The album was produced by Ben Elliott The list of artists Elliot has recorded includes classic artists like: Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Billy Gibbons, and Steve Miller among others.
The musician line-up on the album includes:Chambers on lead vocals and lead guitar, John Ginty on Hammond B3 & keyboards, (I am a fan of Ginty’s Hammond B3 and his work on this album on strengthens it). The rhythm section is rounded out by Todd Cook on bass and Moe Watson on drums. Special guest Jimmy Bennett plays slide guitar and backing vocals on track #6.
Welcome To My Blues contains 11 tracks and Chambers’ guitar work is great on each track. Eight of the tracks are new original Sean Chambers compositions. The other three are covers. The covers include: Luther Allison’s “Cherry Red Wine” “All Night Long” by T-Bone Walker and “Boxcar Willie” by John Ginty.
Welcome to My Blues will be in my rotation for a while now and will be in my music library along with Trouble & Whiskey and The Rock House Sessions.
