My condolences go out to the family and friends of Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, who died on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, was an extremely versatile musician that played blues, country, jazz, Cajun, and other variations of American music for over 50 years. For the past few years, he had been battling lung cancer and heart disease. Before Hurricane Katrina hit his Louisiana home, he escaped to his hometown of Orange, Texas. He lost his home and all of his possessions. I have no doubt this loss excelerated his will to live. He was 81 years old.<\/p>\n

I had the pleasure to work with Gatemouth when I was hired as a writer for the Blues Express television show<\/a>. This little photo is from that unreleased TV show. He will be missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
