Ah oui très intéressant, finalement l'année 2007 n'a pas été si pauvre que ça!

je vois quelques excellentes choses peu évoquée durant l'année :

Marie Knight - Let Us Get Together
Bryan Lee - Katrina Was Her Name
Omar Kent Dykes & Jimmie Vaughan - On the Jimmy Reed Highway
... entre autres!

ça donne quelques bonnes idées pour les soldes et l'après Noel tout ça!

le Marie Knight est superbe. j'en ferai une petite chronique durant les vacances

ce que je trouve un peut dommage
c'est que lon entend pas beaucoup parler de ses choses la
