One of the best performances we caught at the 2005 Jazz Fest was a fabulous set from Ike Turner and his band in the Blues Tent. Ike's troubled past is still following him around, even when he's just chilling (okay, speeding) in his 2002 S-50 Benz. Seems like the cops stopped him for going 80+ and straddling lanes on the freeway, but that's not the problem - a routine warrant check yielded a 1989 felony narcotics warrant. Turns out the warrant was obsolete, but never deleted from the files. - storyIke Turner's latest album, Risin' With the Blues, won a 2007 Grammy for best traditional blues album. - iketurner.com
