Carl Gustafson
Writer
An outspoken and extremely knowledgeable modern day Mark Twain, Gustafson brings candid comments to his writing sprinkled with the perspective of a man who's been a ranch hand, boxer, preacher, road house owner, oil executive and wildcatter, seminar speaker, writer and poet. But first and foremost, he's a performing blues man.

This former Marine Corps tank instructor puts the term road warrior in neon bold face. He is the leader of Blinddog Smokin,' a band that does more than 200 club dates a year and has sold more than 18,000 CDs off the stage everywhere from Frank Frost's Helena blues club to Island Sports and Spirits in Coronado, California. Southland Blues Magazine described the phenomenon thusly: "A million miles of road built Blinddog Smokin' into a band tougher than Tina Turner's tonsils." Gustafson monthly sends an e-mail to thousands of "subscribers" with commentary on the blues world from the trenches.
