Last time I saw her live was in Baltimore. She said,"If you come here to hear hiphop and rap, you can leave now. I'm real. I sing the blues!" Then she held the audience in the palm of her hand and left it screaming for more.
Wish i could've seen her in concert, but i was just a small fry listening to the blues on the Navajo Reservation, herding sheep, and living off the land. Im glad my father introduced me to the blues, and now he's come down with Stage IV cancer, and everyday i spend with my father is a blessing. I don't want to let go.
I njever got to fopllow Koko's career or never got around her music but she had a versitile singhing voice you don't get to hear much anymore and she was among the greats that rcorded for Chess records during it's golden years.
Can someone help me out with these awesome guitar players?
Who is the fellow with the Les Paul who plays the 1st and last guitar solos?
Who is the fellow with the odd-shaped guitar who plays the 2nd guitar solo?
These guys are so good! People go on and on about players like Clapton, Buddy Guy, etc. (and rightfully so), but these guys with Koko are every bit as good.
@gbrycki on the Les Paul is Vino Louden (Koko's band leader), and Ronnie Brooks (son of Lonnie Brooks) on the Strat. The Strat has a stretchable cover over it called an Axe Sack. (I believe)
DAMMMMMM KOKO!!,WOW! is all i could say,and the band is really rockin it,the guitars sound so swee! Ronnie barker brooks,he is great soulful and tasteful guitar player.really house rockin'
No, it is the great Vino Louden, who is still with and is her band leader. I saw them in Albany,NY last summer. It is Vino and another fantastic guitar player (Shun Kikuta) with Koko now.
Can´t let go hearing Koko!!! Simply the best ever!
