The Time is Now

Travis Haddix’s song The Time is Now is another soul-searching examples of blues music. Blues guitarist Travis “Moonlight” Haddix was born in Walnut, Mississippi, only 30 miles south of Memphis. Memphis was a very important city for the development of blues music, and from an early stage Haddix’s blues style was influenced influence by big-name blues artists such as B.B. King. In The Time is Now, we can hear instruments such as the keyboard, the electric guitar, drums, the bass and the saxophone.

The song has a very positive message: the time has come for us to show love and care for each other and to stand together to build a fairer and more peaceful world. Haddix’s positive messages are echoed not only in his lyrics, but also in a motto he uses at the end of many of his shows: “I am the best that I can be, and since no one else can be me, there is none better.”
