HANS THEESSINK - Wishing Well (2013)

A brand new solo acoustic roots-blues-americana album from Hans Theessink. After 7,000 concerts, two dozen albums and more than 40 years 'on the road', Hans is ready with a new solo album. In Wishing Well Theessink digs deep into the treasure of American homespun music, and comes up with some wonderful new interpretations of traditional songs, together with strong original compositions and personal favorites by Bob Dylan, Brownie McGhee and Townes Van Zandt. He is a master when it comes to making songs his own: even the familiar classics end up sounding like typical Theessink-music. With his warm baritone and exquisite work on a variety of stringed instruments, Hans creates a laid back hypnotic groove and draws his audience into a rare and intimate listening experience. - amazon.com

RAY MANZAREK - The Golden Scarab (1974)

More than Full Circle and Other Voices, The Golden Scarab is the best embodiment of the Doors by one of the three surviving members, and it is amazing it wasn't a huge underground smash. With mentions of moonlight drives, tightrope rides, and titles of past Doors tunes in "The Solar Boat," drummer Tony Williams, guitarist Larry Carlton, bassist Jerry Scheff, and producer Bruce Botnick generate an eerie sound behind the singer, creating a title track as mysterious and fun as anything by Morrison and company. With intense rhythms and tons of creativity, Ray Manzarek brings us on a musical journey as unique as The Phantom's Divine Comedy, and if Robbie Krieger brought the commercial element to the Doors' gravy train, it is clear here that the eldest of the quartet had more a hand in the development of the Doors persona than he may have been given credit for. One can't fault Krieger and John Densmore for stretching out with Butts Band, but there is a certain responsibility hit artists should have to their audience. The Bright Midnight releases finally address those concerns, but decades before the opening of the Doors tape vaults, that sound from L.A. Woman was most obvious on "The Purpose of Existence Is?" on this solo effort. Yes, Ray Manzarek veers off into his jazz leanings; given the players on this, how could he not? But he gives enough of a taste of past glories to make The Golden Scarab accessible, spoon feeding his musical styles to those who couldn't get enough of the music he was associated with. It's dramatic and cohesive, making more sense than Jim Morrison much of the time, with more controlled insanity. It is amazing that such a fine work as The Golden Scarab escaped the masses, and shameful that classic hits stations don't add this to their incessant repertoire. Had Jim Morrison lived, this is the path the music of the Doors should have taken. Smooth and demanding of repeated spins. - allmusic.com

Raymond Daniel Manczarek, Jr., known as Ray Manzarek (February 12, 1939 – May 20, 2013), was an American musician, singer, producer, film director, and writer, best known as a founding member and keyboardist of The Doors from 1965 to 1973. He was a co-founding member of Nite City from 1977 to 1978, and of Manzarek-Krieger from 2001 to his death. Manzarek died on May 20, 2013, of complications related to bile duct cancer.

DANNY BRYANT - Hurricane (2013)

UK based guitarist Danny Bryant returns with his seventh studio album, Hurricane, an album as passionate as it is firmly grounded in rock and roll. The craftsmanship on Hurricane really relies on the ground it covers. Too many traditional blues albums treat their various tracks as venues for varying guitar solos without really worrying about varying the sound of each song, and Bryant seems determined to avoid getting caught in the same rut many of his contemporaries do. On Hurricane, Bryant strives to make a lasting impression not only as a skilled guitar smith, but also as a competitive songwriter.




TRACKS: 01. Prisoner Of The Blues 02. Greenwood 31 03. Can't Hold On 04. Hurricane 05. Devil's Got A Hold On Me 06. I'm Broken 07. All Or Nothing 08. Losing You 09. Painkiller

POPA CHUBBY - Universal Breakdown Blues (2013)

Universal Breakdown Blues is a modern urban blues/rock offering that reflects the soul of blues mastermind Popa Chubby. The album features 12 brand new tracks that capture the fire and energy of his live shows. It represents an entirely new level of his tempestuous, soulful playing. Popa puts it all into the simple language of music and invites us all to the party!

"This is the blues now. It's the people's blues. The blues belongs to the people and I get to sing it. If there's one thing I want people to know about me, it's that I m a survivor,' says Popa Chubby. 'Here's my story: My dad died when I was seven. I was abandoned and raised myself. I moved to New York City when I was 18 and started playing music. I got a huge heroin habit and ended up strung out on the streets until I was in my early twenties. I started playing again and got away from drugs and never went back, and then I got into the New York blues scene of the early '90s, and here I am today." - amazon.com

BETH HART & JOE BONAMASSA - Seesaw (2013)

Seesaw reunites force-of-nature blues-rock vocalist Beth Hart and guitar hero Joe Bonamassa for a second album of choice covers from various musical eras. As with their first outing, Don't Explain, the project is in collaboration with producer Kevin Shirley (Joe Bonamassa, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Black Crowes). Each of the three principals sested and selected tracks for the 11-song set list, which mines soulful classics previously made famous by Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Billie Holiday, Donnie Hathaway, Lucinda Williams, Buddy Miles, Tina Turner, Slackwax, Melody Gardot, and Nina Simone. The one-two punch of Hart's powerhouse vocals and Bonamassa s scorching solos both honors and reinvents the original recordings. They are backed by the same world class band that kept the grooves going on Don't Explain: Anton Fig (drums, percussion), Carmine Rojas (bass), Blondie Chaplin (rhythm guitar, backing vocals and percussion), Arlan Schierbaum (organ, piano). This time out, their mighty sound is augmented by a horn section, with Lee Thornburg on trumpets and trombones, and Ron Dziubla on saxophones. For Hart and Bonamassa, making music together grew out of the friendship and mutual artistic appreciation they developed after crossing paths on the road numerous times, particularly on the festival circuit in Europe. Bonamassa wanted to do a project with her, and came up with the idea for a soul covers record. Shirley, who s produced 12 of Bonamassa's albums, was enthusiastic, and Bonamassa contacted Hart. The chemistry clicked, and Don't Explain was released in 2011, followed now by 2013 s Seesaw in between, both Hart and Bonamassa have toured, recorded solo albums, and reached new career highs. - amazon.com

JAMES COTTON - Cotton Mouth Man (2013)

Blues harp maestro James Cotton was 77 at the time of this album's release. He can barely sing anymore, and the years of playing and touring have left his voice a hoarse croak, but make no mistake, he can still play the harp, and his stunning, overdriven blasts on the instrument are as powerful and as immediate as ever. He's the living embodiment of the Chicago blues, and one of the genre's last surviving founders of it, having mentored with the great Sonny Boy Williamson, and he recorded, played, and toured with Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters, cutting his first sides at the age of 19 for Chess Records. He's done this a long time, and as this delightful, joyous, stomping, and vibrant set shows, he doesn't need to sing to command the stage. Cotton wrote or co-wrote most of the songs here with the album's producer, Tom Hambridge, and the vocals are handled by guest artists, most of them by Darrell Nulisch, the former Texas Heat and Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets vocalist who has been handling the singing duties for Cotton's band for some time now, but Gregg Allman, Warren Haynes, Ruthie Foster, Delbert McClinton, and Keb' Mo' are also featured singers. But this isn't one of those duets albums that artists make in the twilight of their careers by any shot -- Cotton is amazing on these cuts, his harp blasts full of passion, power, and enough pure energy to light up the night sky. Cotton may not do somersaults on stage anymore, but his harp lines do, weaving in and out of these songs like a charging Chicago freight train. There isn't a single lame cut here, but the closer, "Bonnie Blue," with Cotton croaking out a moving vocal accompanied only by his harp and the resonator guitar playing of Colin Linden, is particularly poignant. Cotton may be cruising in on 80 years of age, but he's just released one of the best albums of his career. - allmusic.com

TRACKS: 01. Cotton Mouth Man 02. Midnight Train 03. Mississippi Mud 04. He Was There 05. Something for Me 06. Wrapped Around my Heart 07. Saint on Sunday 08. Hard Sometimes 09. Young Bold Women 10. Bird Nest on the Ground 11. Wasn’t My Time to Go 12. Blues is Good for You 13. Bonnie Blue

ARETHA FRANKLIN - Aretha Sings The Blues & Jazz...

A good anthology that covers various album cuts, B-sides, and assorted material in a jazz vein that Aretha cut for Columbia. It's great to hear her underrated piano playing given some more space, and Columbia should really reissue her Dinah Washington tribute album, from which they pulled a couple of these songs. Aretha wasn't a jazz vocalist from the standpoint of approach or inspiration, but she really can sing anything and showed it on these cuts, even if they weren't, for the most part, hits.
Aretha's Jazz (1973): 01. Ramblin' 02. Today I Sing the Blues 03. Pitiful 04. Crazy He Calls Me 05. Bring It on Home to Me 06. Somewhere 07. Moody's Mood 08. Just Right Tonight



Aretha Sings the Blues is a compilation of previously released Aretha Franklin recordings from Aretha's early 1960s tenure with Columbia Records.
Aretha Sings The Blues (1985): 01. Drinking Again 02. Today I Sing the Blues 03. What a Diff'rence a Day Made 04. Without the One You Love 05. Trouble in Mind 06. Muddy Water 07. Only the Lonely 08.

ROD STEWART - Time (2013)

2013 release from the rooster-haired Rock icon, his first album of new material in almost 20 years. Time marks Stewart's long-awaited return to his songwriting roots and features 12 tracks, 11 of which he wrote and produced. Time was born from a burst of inspiration from which he rediscovered his voice as a songwriter and rekindled his gift for writing the honest, nerve-touching narratives that have been the cornerstone to the first three decades of his career. Since 1991, Stewart, the lyricist and melodist behind such staples as "Tonight's The Night," "You Wear It Well," "You're In My Heart," "The Killing of Georgie" and the indelible "Maggie May," had simply lost his songwriting muse. But, beginning in 2011, during the period he began working on what would become his internationally best-selling autobiography, Rod, it returned. - amazon.com

TRACKS: 01. She Makes Me Happy 02. Can't Stop Me Now 03. It's Over 04. Brighton Beach 05. Beautiful Morning 06. Live the Life 07. Finest Woman 08. Time 09. Picture In a Frame 10. Sexual Religion 11. Make Love To Me Tonight 12. Pure Love

KELLY JOE PHELPS - Roll Away The Blues: The Very Best Of (2013)

Vancouver, Washington-based guitarist, singer, and songwriter Kelly Joe Phelps continues to expand the parameters of modern blues through his strong commitment to literary songs and his expressive yet simple guitar stylings.

Recorded in the 90s & 00s, mostly for Rykodisc, Roll Away The Blues highlights his remarkable improvisational finger picking and lap-slide guitar skills, and the husky, confessional vocals that have enraptured audiences around the world.

MIKE ZITO & THE WHEEL- Gone To Texas (2013)

Ruf Records announces a June 11 release date for Gone to Texas, the solo label debut CD from singer/guitarist Mike Zito. Also along for the ride are special guests Delbert McClinton on vocals and harmonica, Sonny Landreth on guitar, Susan Cowsill on vocals and Lewis Stephens (Delbert McClinton, Freddie King) on keyboards. Zito expertly matches them with his core band, The Wheel: Jimmy Carpenter – sax and guitars; Rob Lee – drums; and Scot Sutherland – bass. The result effectively announces one of the most exciting and highly-anticipated new releases of the year. Recorded at Dockside Studios in Maurice, Louisiana, Gone to Texas was produced by the Beaumont, Texas-based Zito and engineered by long-time New Orleans notable David Ferrell, giving the album’s mix a decided Crescent City bent, while embracing Mike’s Texas blues and roots influences. The lead-off title track is an autobiographical tale of redemption and catharsis for Zito, who literally lived the tale, with a bit of an Allman Brothers musical twinge. “Rainbow Bridge,” aided and abetted by some killer Sonny Landreth guitar work and soulful Susan Cowsill vocals, sounds like a long-lost Little Feat song. On “The Road Never Ends,” Zito cranks things into the stratosphere with a sonic blast of electric slide guitar and blistering vocals, accompanied on vocals and harmonica by McClinton. “Subtraction Blues” deals with a man whose dealings with his woman “just don’t add up,” spiced with a funky Second Line feel. “Take It Easy, “one of the two non-originals on the CD, is Zito’s soothing take on the McClinton-penned ballad. The other cover is Mike’s unique version of Beaumont’s own Blind Willie Johnson’s “Let Your Love Shine on Me,” which closes the album.

TRACKS: 01. The Road Never Ends 02. Gone To Texas 03. Rainbo Bridge 04. I Never Knew A Hurricane 05. Don't Think Cause You're Pretty 06. Death Row 07. Don't Break A Leg 08. Take It Easy 09. Hell On Me 10. Subtraction Blues 11. Voices In Dallas 12. Wings Of Freedom 13. Let Your Light Shine On Me

HUGH LAURIE - Didn't It Rain [Deluxe Edition] (2013)

After the huge success of his debut album ‘Let Them Talk’ on which he celebrated and revived classic material from the world of NOLA blues, Hugh Laurie will release his second album ‘Didn’t It Rain’on Warner Music Entertainment.

‘Didn’t It Rain’ sees Hugh Laurie depart the sounds of New Orleans as he follows the trajectory of the blues upstream and into the American heartland. It includes songs dating back to early pioneers W.C. Handy (‘St Louis. Blues’) and Jelly Roll Morton (‘I Hate A Man Like You’) to more recent artists such as Dr. John (‘Wild Honey’) and Alan Price of The Animals (‘Changes’).

“I have resolved to forge on, deeper into the forest of American music that has enchanted me since I was a small boy,” explains Laurie. “And the further I go, the more bewitched I become – both by the songs and by the people I have been lucky enough to play them with.”

Again produced by Joe Henry, ‘Didn’t It Rain’ was recorded at Ocean Way Studio in Los Angeles in January of this year. Complemented with the heart and accomplishment of his supporting musicians the Copper Bottom Band – Jay Bellerose, Kevin Breit, Vincent Henry, Greg Leisz, Robby Marshall, David Piltch and Patrick Warren with Elizabeth Lea and Larry Goldings – the album also features several lead vocal performances from Guatemalan singer-songwriter Gaby Moreno and soul singer Jean McClain who has previously worked with artists as varied as Jimmy Cliff and Sheryl Crow. The album also highlights a very special guest in the shape of the Grammy-winning blues artist Taj Mahal who contributes vocals to a new take on Little Brother Montgomery’s ‘Vicksburg Blues’. - amazon.com

DEEP PURPLE - Now What (2013)

Eight years after the release of Rapture Of The Deep, following many rumours later revealed to be unfounded, Deep Purple, one of the most important and influential British rock bands of all time, have confirmed the release of an album completely made of new studio material. After various songwriting sessions in Europe, the band recorded and mixed the album in Nashville with producer Bob Ezrin (in his impressive hit record: Pink Floyd's The Wall, Alice Cooper and many others). The album is rumoured to be the perfect match from the original spirit of 70s Purple, and a fresh and modern production. Ian Gillan has recently revealed a few working titles of songs that might appear on the album: “Out Of Hands”, “Uncommon Man” and “Hell to Pay”. - amazon.com

BONNIE TYLER - Rocks And Honey (2013)

"Rocks and Honey" is the sixteenth studio album by Bonnie Tyler, released on March 8, 2013 in Europe and due for release on May 6, 2013 in the United Kingdom and May 7 in the United States and Canada. As the next album to be released after "Wings" in 2005, this has been the longest gap between album releases in Tyler's career.

All tracks benefit from great arrangements and the production is fantastic. It's good to see it has a stylish and professional cover art as well! Rocks and Honey& is a welcome return and a triumphant comeback from a truly great singer. If there is any justice - this album will be huge!

RICHIE HAVENS - The Best Of (1993)

Richard Pierce "Richie" Havens (January 21, 1941 – April 22, 2013) was an American folk singer and guitarist. He is best known for his intense and rhythmic guitar style (often in open tunings), soulful covers of pop and folk songs, and his opening performance at the 1969 Woodstock Festival. Havens' career benefited enormously from his appearance at the Woodstock festival in 1969 and his subsequent featured role in the movie and album made from the concert in 1970. His first album after that exposure, Alarm Clock, made the Top 30 and produced a Top 20 single in "Here Comes the Sun." These recordings were Havens' commercial high watermark, but by this time he had become an international touring success. By the end of the '70s, he had abandoned recording and turned entirely to live work. Havens came back to records with a flurry of releases in 1987: a new album, Simple Things; an album of Bob Dylan and Beatles covers; and a compilation. In 1991, Havens signed his first major-label deal in 15 years when he moved to Sony Music and released Now. Nobody Left to Crown was issued by Verve Forecast in 2008. On April 22, 2013, Havens died of a heart attack at home in Jersey City, New Jersey. He was 72.

V.A. - Music Is Love: A Singer-Songwriters Tribute To The Music Of CSN&Y (2012)

More than 40 years ago, CSN&Y were looking inward, speaking out and writing songs that helped define a generation. Well, that generation grew up, as did the artists, but this connection and bond continued; then new generations discovered them, and much of the music ripened and gained fresh meaning with new causes and the passage of time. The strength of these newly recorded versions is a testament to the artistry of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young as well as the special nature of their songs, which hold up beautifully when interpreted and reimagined by a varied roster of artists that range across decades, musical genres and different parts of the globe: from California, Texas and New York to Dublin, Liverpool and Australia; from traditional folkies and alternative rockers to gifted guitarists and bluegrass pickers; as well as wonderfully amazing vocalists, from yesterday and today. - Dave Zimmer (author of "Crosby, Stills & Nash: The Biography")

THE BUDDY WHITTINGTON BAND - A Bag Full Of Blues (2010)

It all started in 2000, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers together with Peter Green’s Splinter Group began a series of tours across the UK, America and Europe. Mayall has described Buddy as “possibly the greatest Bluesbreaker of them all”. Hailing from Fort Worth Texas, Buddy spent fifteen years playing alongside Mayall and some of the biggest names in Blues. His performances and song writing skills didn’t go unnoticed and he eventually released his solo album. At the same time, Splinter Group’s Roger Cotton and Pete Stroud spent many years working alongside Peter Green, up until Green’s departure. In 2008 Mayall disbanded the Bluesbreakers line-up, releasing Buddy to further his solo career and...“THE BUDDY WHITTINGTON BAND” was born.

This album was recorded live in the studio over two days at the end of the band’s May and November UK tours. Many of the songs included are by popular demand from our live repertoire, along with some new Blues...

AUDIENCE - Discography (1969 - 2005)

British art-rock unit Audience was formed in London in 1969 by singer/guitarist Howard Werth, saxophonist Keith Gemmell, bassist Trevor Williams, and percussionist Tony Connor. Set apart from their contemporaries thanks to their use of acoustic guitar and saxophone, the group issued their self-titled debut LP in 1969; although the album was a commercial failure, Audience soon landed with Charisma Records, teaming with producer Gus Dudgeon to record the 1970 follow-up Friend's Friend's Friend. House on the Hill, issued a year later, yielded perhaps the band's best-known effort, "Indian Summer," and was followed by a U.S. tour in support of the Faces; however, in the wake of 1972's Lunch, Gemmel left the lineup to join Stackridge, and despite recruiting saxophonist Patrick Neubergh and keyboardist Nick Judd, Audience disbanded soon after. Werth resurfaced as a solo artist in 1975 with a new backing band, the Moonbeams, and an LP, King Brilliant.



Despite a few minor projects together, the original Audience band members were not to re-emerge as a working entity until 33 years after their first incarnation. In 2004, Howard Werth, Keith Gemmell and Trevor Williams performed in Germany, Italy, Canada and the UK, replacing Tony Connor with drummer/vocalist John Fisher (born 8 December 1960, Buxton, Derbyshire) and recording a live album alive&kickin'&screamin'&shoutin' for Eclectic Records. During this period, Gemmell released two solo albums, The Windhover, inspired by a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Unsafe Sax, a tribute to his early '60s soul roots.

Following the death of John Fisher from pancreatic cancer on 27 September 2008, Audience recruited drummer Simon Jeffrey. Williams joined Jeffrey's own band, Blue Pulse, releasing an album titled Trams in 2012. Werth also performs on a few of the tracks.

The "Texas Blues" Project from Dr. Wu' & Friends is called "Volume1, Fort Wort Artists" and a lot of friends are part of this great CD. They are too many to name them all but Buddy Whittington plays his guitar and sings and so did Stephen Bruton, Charlie Bassham, "Mouse" Mayes, James Pennebaker, Red Young and Gary Grammar and Mike Kennedy and and and......and believe me - these "old" cats can Rock the Blues! - amazon.com

IAN ANDERSON'S COUNTRY BLUES BAND - Stereo Death Breakdown (1969)

Influenced by the post-WWII blues of the American South, Ian Anderson (not to be confused with the leader/flutist of Jethro Tull) helped found the Bristol blues scene of the 1960s. In 1969 he released Stereo Death Breakdown, his only full-band LP with the Country Blues Band. At the height of the British blues boom in the late 1960s, a handful of musicians came to prominence reinterpreting the acoustic country blues of the 1920s and ’30s. So in the winter of 1968/’69, Ian Anderson assembled a lively country blues band for his debut album Stereo Death Breakdown. The master tapes were thought to be lost forever, but recent detective work by Fledg’ling Records unearthed them in the vault where they’d been carefully stored. So here, re-mastered from those original tapes, with two bonus tracks from a contemporary session and new notes by Mr. Anderson, is a long-lost British blues collectors’ piece, finally re-issued just in time for its 40th anniversary.

TRACKS: 01. Get In That Swing 02. Little Boy Blue 03. (My Babe She Ain't Nothing But A Doggone) Crazy Fool Mumble 04. New Lonesome Day 05. Short Haired Woman Blues 06. Hot Times 07. Stereo Death Breakdown 08. When I Get To Thinking 09. Way Up On Your Tree 10. Break 'em On Down 11. That's Alright 12. Baby Bye You Bye 13. Put It In A Frame 14. Stop & Listen

The show featured an impressive line-up of rock and blues legends, such as Eddie Kirkland, Louisiana Red and Lazy Lester, ex-Rolling Stone Mick Taylor, Kim Wilson from the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Omar Dykes from Omar & The Howlers, Barrence Whitfield (a real rocker in the style of Little Richard), Sven Zetterberg and Clas Yngstrom from Sweden and the great Eric Bibb - all of whom have a long history of appearances with the band.

THE DUKE ROBILLARD BAND - Independently Blue (2013)

Undoubtedly one of Duke’s finest blues albums, this set owes much to the musicians present on these sides (Bruce Bears on piano and Hammond organ, Brad Hallen on bass, Mark Teixeira on drums), all of whom have developed a common language with Duke over the years. Monster Mike Welch also brings a crucial touch to Independently Blue, appearing on all tracks (some of which he also signed).

WILLIE NELSON AND FAMILY - Let's Face The Music And Dance (2013)

This April-2013 Willie Nelson turns 80 years old, a milestone which has not slowed down the American icon in the slightest. Following the success of his 2012 success Heroes, Willie Nelson returns, this time with his Family band, to deliver another beautiful new album of songs that are near and dear to his heart.

Like the man himself, this stunning collection is not easily defined by genre or style. The songs include American standards and country classics, Irving Berlin and Carl Perkins, Django Reinhart as well as Willie-penned originals. Yet the result is a beautiful, cohesive set songs about love and reflection in Willie's inimitable style. It is a record in the vein of both Stardust and Redheaded Stranger and destined to become a classic. - amazon.com

GARY PRIMICH - Gary, Indiana (2010)

Gary Primich, born in Chicago in 1958, spent his early years in Gary, Indiana. Like Michael Jackson, who was born the same year in Gary, they both performed in the black blues clubs of Gary and Chicago, although this took place in different decades. Like many musicians who tour a lot (Gary played over 200 gigs per year) he found it diffi cult to find a balance between family life and his career. Being away from the family caused him bad conscience and made the hotel rooms feel like empty, lonely places. Gary Primich honored the blues tradition like Paul Butterfield had done before him. Gary was a strong personality, always in search for a style of his own which he then never hesitated to follow. Unfortunately, it all ended much too soon. He died at the age of 49 in September 2007. Gary Primich had numerous loyal friends in Finland. This CD contains sessions recorded live and in the studio with the Finnish bands, Honey B & the T-Bones and Wentus Blues Band.

JIMMY DAWKINS - Me, My Gitar And The Blues (1997)

Chicago bluesman Jimmy "Fast Fingers" Dawkins, known for his excellent guitar playing and mellow singing voice, has died. He was 76.

He was an American Chicago blues and electric blues guitarist and singer. He was generally considered a part of the "West Side Sound" of Chicago blues. In 1969, thanks to the efforts of his friend Magic Sam, he released his first album Fast Fingers on Delmark Records, winning the "Grand Prix du Disque" from the Hot Club de France. In 1971 Delmark released his second album All For Business with singer, Andrew "Big Voice" Odom, and the guitarist, Otis Rush. Dawkins also toured in the late 1970s backed up by James Solberg (of Luther Allison and The Nighthawks fame) on guitar and Jon Preizler (The Lamont Cranston Band, The Drifters), a Seattle based Hammond B-3 player known for his soulful jazz influenced style. Other musicians that toured with Jimmy Dawkins in the late 1970s were Jimi Schutte (drummer), Sylvester Boines (bass), Rich Kirch and Billy Flynn (guitars). With this combination of musicians Dawkins also toured Europe. Dawkins began to tour in Europe and Japan and recorded more albums in the United States and Europe.

THE ROLLING STONES - Flashpoint (1991)

Flashpoint is a live album by British rock band The Rolling Stones. It was released in 1991, having been recorded throughout 1989 and 1990 on the mammoth Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour. It was the first live album by the group since 1982's "Still Life" (American Concert 1981). It was also the first album to use binaural recording, a 3D audio effect using just two stereo speakers. This gives the effect that the concert audience is behind the home listener. The audience cheer track was taken from the Rolling Stones' 1970 live album Get Yer Ya-Yas Out, complete with an audience member shouting out a request: "'Paint It, Black', 'Paint It, Black', you devil".

As Flashpoint was The Rolling Stones' final release under their contract with Sony Music the band signed a new lucrative long-term worldwide deal with Virgin Records in 1991, with the exception of Bill Wyman. After thirty years with the band, the 55-year-old Wyman decided that he had other interests he wanted to pursue and felt that, considering the size of the Steel Wheels project and tour, it was fitting to bow out at that time. Although he would not officially announce his departure until January 1993 - during the interim the rest of the band had repeatedly asked him to reconsider - he had talked about leaving the band for at least ten years. After his departure, Ronnie Wood was finally taken off salary and made a full member of the Rolling Stones partnership, 18 years after he joined the band.

BUCKWHEAT ZYDECO - The Buckwheat Zydeco Story: A 20-Year Party (1999)

When the accordion rings out to open "Zydeco Boogaloo," you know you're in for a party, and through 14 more tracks culled from his 20-year career as the chief ambassador of Louisiana Creole music, Buckwheat Zydeco leads the dance to familiar corners of the Creole world and beyond. There's the tribute to his mentor, the late Clifton Chenier, in "Hot Tamale Baby," and a blazing improv with Eric Clapton on "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?" Buckwheat first brought this music from the bayou to major-label prominence with horns, synthesizers, and stylistic combinations. Bluesy zydeco marks his gumbo-fied version of "Midnight Special" and his original "Skip to My Blues." The powerful -- and danceable -- message of "Make a Change," which Buck admits is probably his favorite song in the collection, pairs with the lighthearted "Trouble." It's a toe-tapping, two-steppin' celebration of the career of a musician who has taken zydeco beyond the borders of Louisiana to the hearts of the world.

TRACKS: 01. Zydeco Boogaloo 02. Turning Point 03. Lacke Pas La Patate 04. Mi 'Tit Fille 05. Hot Tamale Baby 06. Make a Change 07. Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad? 08. What You Gonna Do? 09.

WILLIE NELSON - It Always Will Be (2004)

The smooth lyrics, gravelly voice and emotion emanating from each song are the essence of a true artist. We hear more true feelings from Willie's voice than almost any other recording artist. We know he is there, singing from his heart. We appreciate Willie Nelson more each day."It Always Will Be" is the CD that tops Willie's long career. He has a mix of old time and new time and future time. The title song is a ballad in the true Willie style and will be sung again and again. It resonates like his popular song"You Are Always On My Mind". Tom Waits song "Picture In A Frame" is memorable from Willie's style. And what a treat to have Tom Waits music sung by our Willie. "Dreams Come True" sung with Norah Jones will be a favorite, as it is mine. Willie discovered Norah's voice and mixed it in with the new country that is Willie. "Overtime" sung with Lucinda Williams is one of my favorite songs on this CD. Lovely melody and the duo of Lucinda and Willie bring chills. "Tired" from Toby Keith is as country as they come. "Texas" is my favorite song- it sounds like Willie of old days; it has that lilting melody we love. "Midnight Rider" with Toby Keith is the true country western song with the guitars twanging and boots stomping. What a treat!Willie Nelson is a treasure... He has become our voice of country. A talented writer and extraordinary voice mixed with his "outlaw' nature and you have a true American Icon.This CD is one to be remembered and treasured along with Willie. Highly Recommended.

JJ GREY & MOFRO - This River (2013)

JJ Grey & Mofro (formerly billed just as Mofro) is a soul/funk/R&B/blues/southern rock band from Jacksonville, Florida composed of JJ Grey (vocals, electric piano, acoustic guitar and electric guitar, harmonica), Andrew Trube (electric guitar and slide guitar), Anthony Farrell (Hammond organ), Anthony Cole (drums) and the "Hercules Horns" Dennis Marion (trumpet), Art Edmaiston (tenor saxophone) and Todd Smallie (bass guitar).

Named for the St. John’s River — a centering point for his childhood near Jacksonville, Florida — This River flows from freewheeling celebrations (Florabama) to dark inner journeys (Somebody Else), from late night, beer-soaked testimonials (Your Lady, She’s Shady) to heartfelt ballads of the almost-forgotten (The Ballad Of Larry Webb), and ends with the title track and a singularly devastating vocal performance. With Dan Prothero at the helm as producer, JJ and the band once again returned to Retrophonics Studio in nearby St. Augustine, Florida and muscled out some of JJ’s strongest material to date.

BLACKFOOT - Original Album Series (2013)

Opened by the US Platinum certified album Strikes, this collection contains the five best-selling albums by the Florida rockers, Blackfoot. The original albums in this collection were all released between 1979 and 1984, at a time when the band was fronted by Rickey Medlocke, the man now known as lead guitarist of Lynyrd Skynyrd. US Top 40 hits 'Highway Song,' and 'Train, Train,' are both featured on Strikes: the first of a three-album streak of classic gems, including the stand-out single 'Fly Away' on Marauder. Each album has something unique to offer with the hard rock anthem 'Send Me An Angel,' on Siogo, showcasing the band's successful experimentations with synthesisers, and the opening number of Vertical Smiles: a fantastic cover of 'Morning Dew,' made famous by Grateful Dead. Original Album Series offers five Blackfoot albums -- 1979's Strikes through 1984's Vertical Smiles -- for a low price. The packaging is budget to save costs, with each album in a paper sleeve that replicates the artwork. The last two albums in the series can be overlooked. Released in 1983, Siogo finds the band flirting with the synthesizer age, and 1984's Vertical Smiles is a bit of a misstep. However, the first three albums, which each feature an animal head on the cover (Strikes, Tomcattin', and Marauder), capture the band at its peak and are totally worth owning. Personnel: Rick "Rattlesnake" Medlocke (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, 12-string guitar, bottleneck guitar); Greg T. Walker (vocals, bass guitar); Jackson Spires (vocals, drums); Charlie Hargrett (guitar, acoustic guitar, 12-string guitar). - cduniverse.com

JAKE BUGG - Jake BUGG (2012)

As far as debut albums go, this eponymous release is a surprisingly accomplished effort from the Nottingham-born teenager Jake B. Although he stares out from the album cover like a younger, long-lost cousin of the View or the Enemy, while those U.K. indie acts found their nourishment on a diet of the Jam, Oasis, and the Strokes, B found time to explore pre-Beatles music from the likes of Buddy Holly and Richie Valens. These influences -- combined with a folk sensibility and moments of delicate acoustic fingerpicking that betray a love for Bob Dylan and Donovan -- make for an accessible, pop-focused record that doesn’t attempt to chase innovation.

His debut wears its retro fetishes on a frayed sleeve; Simple As This has an unashamedly Dylan-like jingle-jangle; the age-worn lament of Country Song could hardly be mistaken for anything else. But B is no young fogey; he has a warm, wistful voice and keen observational eye, pitching his songs beautifully between youth and experience. Seen It All is a particularly nice play on the old head/young shoulders dichotomy, recounting a pilled-up night out in the manner of a wizened old bluesman. - allmusic.com

JOHNNY NICHOLAS - Future Blues (2011)

The lanky singer and skilled journeyman hung with Rhode Island’s Duke Robillard during the hippie era, worked with Big Walter Horton in the Midwest a decade later, and ultimately wound up in Texas—recording intermittently, getting his twang on with Asleep At The Wheel, and occasionally waltzing towards Cajun country. For the last 20 years, he’s been playing regional gigs and tending to a successful café that he and his wife own in the hill country above Austin.

Future Blues is Nicholas’ first proper release since a nice little buzz rose around the Texas Sheiks session he was part of two years ago. Sharing the vocals with Geoff Muldaur and Jim Kweskin, the sixty-something vet proved how rich his whispered growl actually was, and how deeply the blues resonated within him. That disc is loose and charismatic. The new record is arranged and charismatic, a blend you don’t often find in blues, where over-thinking occasionally squelches vibe. Both of those elements find a way to thrive on these 12 tunes, and because each track proffers a discrete personality (tempo, groove, and style are all well-considered), it becomes the kind of savvy and entertaining date you might get from Delbert McClinton or John Hammond.

TRACKS: 01. Hey Hey 02. Hell Bent 03. Don't Say I Never Told You So 04. Hard Time Livin' 05. Roads On Fire 06. Mister Moon 07. Future Blues 08. Graveyard Blues 09. That's the Price 10. (It's All Over Now) Baby Blue 11. Pass Your Tender Lips 12. Steadfast

Can You Stand The Heat was produced by Tony Coleman (drummer - B. B. King), co-produced by Ana and Grammy Award winner Tommy Sims.

Ana Popovic was born in Belgrade, formerly Yugoslavia. She quickly picked up her father's impressive blues and soul record collection, grabbed his guitar and went to work at a young age of 15. Since then, Ana has developed into a phenomenal guitarist/vocalist who tirelessly tours around the world playing major blues, jazz and rock festivals. Ana blends smoking electric funk slide guitar, jazzy instrumentals and tight blues groove with soulful feminine vocals.

STONE THE CROWS - The BBC Sessions Volume 1 & 2 (1998)

Stone the Crows was a tough-luck, working class, progressive soul band that came out of the pubs of Scotland in the early '70s. They had everything going for them at the start: not one, but two gritty singers, a talented guitarist, a rhythm section that had played with John Mayall, and the name recognition of having Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant as their producer. Despite favorable reviews by the critics, however, they never managed to sell their hybridized soul music to a large audience. In addition, they lost two of their key members early on, one of whom was tragically electrocuted, and the group broke up after four albums.



Their biggest contribution to rock was the immense vocal talent of one Maggie Bell. Winner of several Top Girl Singer awards in Britain, Bell had a raunchy, gutbucket voice that, although it fell short of the naked emotion and range of Janis Joplin's, came probably closer to her style than any other female singer. She first attracted notice when she jumped up on stage at a show in Glasgow to wail with Alex Harvey of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Impressed by her talent (and audacity), Harvey hooked her up with his guitar-playing younger brother Les, then fronting a local band called the Kinning Park Ramblers. After playing army bases in Europe for several years as Power, Bell, Harvey, bassist Jim Dewar, keyboardist Jon McGinnis, and drummer Colin Allen (who had played with future bass player Steve Thompson in John Mayall's band), came to the attention of Peter Grant and they changed their name to Stone the Crows, which supposedly is a Scottish variation of "the hell with it."

Both of their first two albums received good reviews upon release, but sold very meagerly. Then bassist/vocalist Jim Dewar quit the band to join Robin Trower's fledgling group, to be replaced by the non-singing Steve Thompson. Shortly after releasing Teenage Licks, guitarist Les Harvey was electrocuted onstage during a gig at Swansea University. This appeared to end the band, but they carried on, recruiting young Jimmy McCulloch from Thunderclap Newman and released "'Ontinuous Performance." Although the rock press lauded the singing of Bell, her group couldn't seem to emerge from the shadows and they broke up after this last album, with McCulloch flying away to join Paul McCartney in Wings. - allmusic.com

ERIC BURDON - 'Till Your River Runs Dry (2013)

"'Til Your River Runs Dry", Eric Burdon's most personal album to date, features original tracks written by Burdon including Water, Bo Diddley Special, The River Is Rising, Wait and Memorial Day with a blues-rooted feel that has made him one of the most enduring artists spawned by the British Invasion of the 1960s. Til Your River Runs Dry was produced by Burdon and Tony Barnacle and recorded in New Orleans and Southern California where Eric recorded his last two albums. Til Your River Runs Dry is the long awaited return of one of rock's most creative, incisive songwriters and, certainly, an unparalleled vocal force.

A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 Greatest Voices of All Time, Eric Burdon continues as a vital contemporary artist while his legacy as front man of The Animals, with WAR at its inception and as a solo artist continues to grow as his influence enjoys a resurgence with both new artists and superstars. - amazon.com

ROY BUCHANAN - American Axe - Live In 1974 (2003)

"American Axe - Live in 1974" features highlights from two searing club sets Buchanan played over 30 years ago. All the material is previously unreleased. The music on this hour-long disc reveals Roy Buchanan at the height of his awe-inspiring powers, delivering soulful ballads, wrenching blues, and raw rock 'n roll for the small club audiences he preferred. Devotees of blues, rock, country, and jazz will find here the tone, technique and emotive power of a masterful performer whose work still overshadows those he influenced. It's clear from these recordings why guitarists and music industry insiders from the 1950's to this day include Buchanan among a handful of the most original and influential players. The CD's set list includes Buchanan classics such as "The Messiah Will Come Again" (a first-ever live version), his siganture "Roy's Bluz", "Hey Joe" (a tribute to Jimi Hendrix) and the hypnotic lament "Sweet Dreams". The balance of songs draws on classics from the golden age of American popular music, including "C.C. Ryder", "I Hear You Knockin'", Get Out Of My Life, Woman", and "Further On Up The Road", delivered in Buchanan's trademark fashion, seductive yet riveting, grooving and explosive. Phil Carson, author of the book Roy Buchanan: American Axe

GRAHAM NASH - Songs For Survivors (2002)

With his fifth solo outing, Graham Nash ends a song cycle he kicked off with his 1971 solo debut, Songs for Beginners. Song for Survivors, finished just before his 60th birthday, finds the Hollies/CSNY vet making an uneasy peace with himself and his choices. Nash is still a tiger, but here he rails against growing old and docile and, worse, repeating himself. The brooding "Blizzard of Lies" conveys a churlish exasperation at finding himself on the same well-worn terrain he traveled years before. He returns to the theme again with the atmospheric "Chelsea Hotel," which carries the whiff of decay ("We will carry on / Searching for truth with perpetual youth that will fade and be gone in a blink of an eye / The world will be passing us by"). Salvation for Nash lies in love and enduring friendships, and he celebrates the former with three love songs for his wife and the latter with a paean to pals, "Nothing in the World." - amazon.com

TRACKS: 01. Dirty Little Secret 02. Blizzard Of Lies 03. Lost Another One 04. The Chelsea Hotel 05. I'll Be There For You 06. Nothing In The World 07. Where Loves Lies Tonight 08. Pavanne 09. Liar's Nightmare 10. Come With Me

DAVID CROSBY - King Biscuit Flower Hour (1996)

Recorded in 1989, David Crosby was fresh out of prison, clean and sober, and by the sound of this live recording, was out to prove he could still be an important musician. He manages to prove just that ! The band at this time consisted of Dan Dugmore (lead guitar), Mike Finnegan (keyboards), Davy Farragher (bass), and Jody Cortez (drums), and David (rhythm guitar). That's it. No cameos from Graham or anyone else, and that suits me just fine. It's just David out in front of a simple band, with no one else vying for center stage. He actually plays guitar on every single track (except for the piano ballads "Delta",and "Oh, Yes I Can"),and although he's never been more than a marginal guitarist, he's does a respectable job grinding out chords behind Dugmore's excellent leads. This is most apparent on "Wooden Ships", where we hear David's twelve string ringing true, and it seems he was actually making an effort to get creative with it. This is most telling at closing portion of the song where he provides a goosebump provoking lick to close out the song. This is the best live performance of "Wooden Ships" I've ever heard, either by CSN, CSN&Y, Jefferson Airplane, or on Stills' solo efforts. We get similar results on "Deja Vu", "Long Time Gone", and "Almost Cut My Hair". The album is balanced out by material from the "Oh, Yes I Can" album, and basically mirrors the solo versions, which is ok. The material was new at this point in time. Per Croz's usual routine, the show starts out with an acoustic set (Tracks in the Dust, Guinnevere, Compass, and In My Dreams). He does a nice enough job with these (with the exception of the lyrically tortured "Compass", a song with such obscure lyrics that even the composer forgets the words on the first line !). But the real gems are the electric songs. Along with the aforementioned classics, we get the new composition "Nighttime For the Generals", which rocks (with David adding guitar...something he didn't do on American Dream).
