Hot Tuna - April 1999 Relix Issue

The April 1999 Relix issue includes our Hot Tuna cover story and much more! In the case of Hot Tuna, the band not only appreciates its musical heritage, it carries on the traditions of the Reverend Gary Davis, Muddy Water, and countless other blues giants, by handing down the gospel of the blues to the next generation. When Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady formed a splinter group out of the Jefferson Airplane in the late '60s, little did they dream that the outlet spawned to give them a place to explore experimental blues improvisation would be a reckoning force on the music scene 30 years down the road. In the cover story’s roundtable discussion, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady, Pete Sears, Michael Falzarano and Harvey Sorgen talk about the blues and their influences; Jorma's Fur Peace Ranch Guitar Camp; the Jorma Kaukonen Trio album, Too Many Years; as well as Jorma and Jack's signature series of guitars from Epiphone.

This issue also features additional articles on B.B. King, Rory Block, John Lee Hooker, Jonny Lang, The Grateful Dead, Phish, Moon Boot Lover, and The Wise Monkey Orchestra.
