The birthday bash to celebrate the 7th Birthday of HoundDogRadio.net at Blind Willie's Blues in Atlanta yesterday was a great success!

A steady stream of music lovers shuffled in and was treated to a great lineup of talent:
Kristin Tinsley warmed things up with a mixture of originals and covers as she showed off her ability to channel the spirit of Stevie Nicks.

April Cummings played several inspired originals and also belted out (and made her own) renditions of John Prine's Angel from Montgomery and Kris Kristofferson's Me & Bobby McGee.

King Cotton built steam slowly until they offered an inspired version of Devil's Delight, and then built their way to a bring the house down guitar solo in their final number, which included the hefty lead guitarist playing behind his head and also on a bar stool (as if the guitar were an upright base). King Cotton definitely brought the house down!

The Barefoot Hookers immediately began their set with "beer drinking gospel". They implored the huge audience to turn their hymnals to chapter one (which was a beer drinking tune). Each additional song was a chapter from the Barefoot Hookers book of hell raising. After passing the "collection plate" (motorcycle helmet) around the audience to collect additional funds for HoundDogRadio.net, they broke into their new signature tune I'd Rather Two-Step (Than Twelve-Step) and called Frank "HoundDog" Coon onto stage to sing along.

Terry Flynn treated the crowd to masterful guitar work, fine singing, and steady backing.
