This is my label for a mild I've got in primary right now. Not the greatest pic or rendering I've ever done, but I like the layout alot as it's reminiscent of alot of old style album covers.

looks great!
i love a beer with a little history lol
Great concept. Combines my passion for good music and good beer.
Looks great. I can always appreciate a tribute brew.
I'd rather be sloppy drunk that 'bout anything else i know.
Alway dug Jimmy Rogers version personally but that label is awesome. Here to you and your superior taste in beer and blues!
The artwork is great. But somehow sloppy drunk and a 3.3% mild ale don't really work imo.
For some reason I never got way into Jimmy Rogers. Don't dislike him. I do know he's a wonderful guitarist.
As a blues fan one of the great things is being able to find new artist, new takes on old songs, etc. The recorded history is so long it's really hard to exhaust all the resources, or atleast it is hard to do so on my budget! Bentonia MS is about 30 mins up the road from me and I've made a point of seeking out the recordings from that area. It's known mostly for Skip James and Jack Owens, it's played in A minor, a very droning dark sound very different from the other major styles. Even now it's producing new vibrant musicians that are as skilled in it's style as the guys from the 30's. Check out Jimmy Duck Holmes recorded by Broke and Hungry Records. I consider he and Bud Spires among my friends. Bud actually helped me learn how to blow harp.
I'll be sure to check those artists out, always looking for good music that i haven't heard before. Are you down with a radio program called Blues Before Sunrise? Hands down my favorite blues radio program. Airs on NPR stations generally at midnight on Saturday, you can stream on their web site too.
I suppose my preference for Jimmy Rogers is due his Chess records connection. So much good music came out of that studio. Alas this is August though and it's all i can do to stop listening to jazz what with the Chicago jazz fest fast approaching.....
just so I'm not totally off topic, i don't suppose you have your Mild recipe anywhere, my first batch was a mild kit and I'd like to do another soon....
Hey I just noticed your from Joliet IL. I suppose Joliet is made most famous from it's mentions in Blues Brothers, or maybe it's just me! An amazing movie, but not a good thing for the blues in alot of ways.
