Elliott and the Untouchables, from Columbia, SC, are red hot. They perform the "real deal" authentic, vintage blues. From jumpin' west coast swing numbers to burnin' slow blues and nasty slide guitar workouts on an electric diddley bow, the Untouchables' repertoire is as diverse and powerful as the blues itself. The band has taken their high-energy show to clubs and festivals across the US including the House of Blues, Indiana's Bean Blossom Blues Festival, The Birmingham Jam, The Cape Fear Blues Festival, The Charleston Blues Bash, Asheville NC's Bele Chere Festival, the 3 Rivers Music Festival in Columbia, SC, and on Memphis' Beale Street at the Crossroads Music Festival. The Untouchables traveled to Ireland, opening for music legend Van Morrison at the Monaghan Rhythm & Blues Festival and performed at the Blackstairs Blues Festival in Enniscorthy. Other international appearances include the Tremblant International Blues Festival in Quebec, Canada.

The band has released five CDs on BluePoint Records. Their last release, "Voodoo Stew" has been nominated as Best Self-Produced CD in the International Blues Challenge. The CD showcases 12 original tunes, covering a variety of blues styles from swingin' jump tunes to gritty juke joint numbers. Previous releases, "Smokin' the Blues", "Both Ends Burnin", "Danger Zone", and "Last Meal" have been top sellers for the BluePoint label.

@ Red Rooster
Thanks for again album of this group and harmonica man. Thank you very much. Regards.

Sometimes this replacement zippysha.re , gets really sluggish. Now, just before my post to you, I downloaded it at 2 Mb/sec. Really! Of course in Europe... :-)

You're most welcome Frankie, Daba and Bluesercher, glad you guys enjoyed the post. Thanks for your comments, they are appreciated.

And thanks again Bluesercher for tipping me on that zippy clone in the first place. It has acted up on me on a couple of occasisons, but it seems it is working fine for most people.

Actually that knock-off zippy is worse than useless here in UK, gofile hits 80+Mb/s. - in other words "just a blink of an eye" on larger files it stays constant. The upload speed is fine though. I know it's not just me as friends I trade files with have spoken about it too. Thanks to the mirrors we don't have to use it. Just thought I would throw my 2 cents worth in. Thanks again for Voodoo Stew. Onwards and upwards. Regards frankie :)

Well Frankie, I'm totally aware that the zippy clone doesn't work fine for some, while it works pretty good for others based on where in the world you might be located. Still, I will continue using it as an option for those who want to use it and as an alternative to the mc links. Regards, Red Rooster
