Essie Neal, the Blues Lady
I met Essie a few years back at a Guitar Center
Blues Guitar contest.  I thought she should
have won, as she is the real deal. She didn't
learn the blues, she was born and raised in the
blues all her life. But, GC was looking for the
next Eric or Stevie, and you know how that
goes.  Essie is truly authentic all the way, no
buzz fuzz boxes, or Marshall amps just pure
heart and soul, the kind you are born with. You
can't learn this, as the core of your very being
must sing with blues.  Essie is the real deal.
In Arkansas all blues roads lead back to
Babs.  One of those labors of love,
behind the scenes folks that go unsung
in many cases, as she spends her life
promoting, endorsing and booking blues
artists for the Arkansas River Blues
Society and on the advisory committee
for Spa City Blues Society.  Y'all stop by
and say hi to Babs, and find out more
about the deep roots of underground
Arkansas Blues.
