 10,000 blues music lovers filled the Houston Reliant Arena February 3, 2007 and the Chittlin Circuit Magazine was there to cover the event. 
The first of the 26 city blues tour started in Blioxi, Mississippi Friday evening, which was also a stunning success. The Saturday Houston show started off with Mr.Bobby Rush and his famous dancers. Then Latimore, Sir Charles Jones, Shirley Brown, Theodis Ealey, Bobby Bland, Mel Waiters, and Marvin Sease closed the show in a style all of his own.
Throughout the entire concert ALL of the fans spent half the time dancing near their seats. If the Blues Is Alright Tour comes anywhere near a city close to you, we recommend you get your tickets as soon as possible. If the other shows are anything like the one in Houston, you can bet it will be sold out also.
Check out the Photo Gallery for a photo tour of the Houston Concert, we have 179 pictures for you to enjoy.

 Michael Burnett the Bass player for Jeff Floyd passed away January 4, 2007 after suffering a massive heart attack.
Michael was born in Macon, Georgia March 19, 1956 Lead Guitar for the band (Powerhouse) William Reeves, tells the Chittlin Circuit that he and Michael were best friends for many years.
His music career began by playing the drums at the age of nine. He later found out that the drums was not challenging enough so when he enter the 5th grade he started playing the trombone and by the 6th grade he was playing trumpet. During the 8th grade while still playing trumpet, he became interested with the bass guitar. His desire to play the bass grew stronger as he listened to Verdine White of Earth, Wind, and Fire and Larry Graham of Graham Central Station. He picked up the bass guitar and he knew that he had found his niche. He would sneak down to the VFW and watch local musician Walter Jackson play the bass guitar. Walter showed him how to play the bass and sing at the same time. This was the challenge that he had been craving. Mike alone with seven other guys formed a band and started playing in school's talent shows. By the 10th grade, his last three periods was spent in the school's band room. Realizing Mike's talent, Band Director Samuel Stokes asked him to perform a few half time shows with the Southwest High School Marching Band.
