September 7, 2014

Meet Mike Brannon: Having been born in Atlanta and then lived in North Carolina growing up, those Southern roots were likely to blame when I started playing blues/rock guitar.

In Texas you'll often hear someone who's being asked why they've been out of touch for a long time respond with an old saying. The conversation is this: “Where've you been?" “Oh, to Hell and back." Well, since my last column, my husband (guitarist Jackie King) and I have suffered the ...

Jackie King: Moon Magic

by AAJ Staff
September 1, 1999
