I Think I'm in Lurrve...
A ppic of Candye Kane, former porn star, now blues diva.

Ok, so here I am, minding my own business, noodling around in the newsgroups looking for some fresh copyright violations, just to piss Orrin Hatch off.

Perusing alt.binaries.sound.mp3.blues, I see a set of songs by one "Candye Kane." I'm thinking how odd that somebody would take the name of a porn star as a stage name.

One of the tunes listed was "Whole Lotta Love."

Hmmm, I say to myself. Interesting. Wonder how they're gonna bring that tune back to the blues.

(For you blues-unedumacated folk, the song that you think of as a Led Zep tune was a souped up cover of a song written by Willie Dixon called "You Need Love.")

So, I queued it up, along with a dozen or so other songs by some folks I never heard of, and left the house to resume my normal broadcast day.

Came home, and fired it up.

Yowza!

I'm talking a strong, clear, ballsy voice, tremendous phrasing, a classic blues diva. A keeper.

I immediately scurried back over the the newsgroups to catch the rest of the album before it dropped off the server.

Fired up a tune called "27 Times."

Holy Frijole...

I'd post it here, but I can't post a file over 1 MG, so you have to go dredge it up yourself.

This woman could bench press Paducah with her voice. I'm thinking that she could stop bullets (a la' The Matrix) with a good strong high C. I shit you not.

I listened to her stuff for four hours straight.

So, just who is this woman, I wondered.

Googling "Candye Kane" and "blues" takes you to her home page.

I'm sure you've guessed it by now - it's the former porn star.

So I start reading her bio...

She's a big girl, always was, and here's a not safe for work pic to demonstrate.

What's not to like? She's purty, as ruebenesque as I like 'em, zaftig, and bisexual. CG would like her, and Candye can sing you to sleep at night.

Here's a safe for work pic she has posted on her website.

I know many of my West Coast compadres are now laughing at me, 'coz they know her, since Candye just won an award for Best Blues Band in San Diego. Dunno how, but she's escaped me all these days.

Hey, you learn sumpin' new every day. :-)

I'm callin' some of my buds in the club bidniss to get her booked in the Houston area.
