"So, what does Jr. sound like? At times he tries to sound like Sr., with that raspy growl, and at other times he sounds like a different singer altogether. It wasn't until I read in the liner notes that all tracks were recorded between 1995 and 2007. I realized the different singing styles were perhaps a function of the 12 years it took to record and release this CD. Goin' To Mississipi was produced by Twist Turner, a name familiar to many blues fans (he also penned 10 of the 12 songs). All of the tracks have real musicians, such as Maurice John Vaughn and Melvin Taylor on guitars (not on all tracks), and of course Twist Turner on drums and percussion. I was surprised to see that background singing was done by Pirkle Lee Moses and The Eldorados (for all you doo-wop fans) and two tracks list Z.Z. Hill on harmony vocals (I presume that's dad).
So, what's the music like? Pretty damn good ... one of the better soul blues releases of the year. From the opening "Lean on Me" (not the Bill Withers track), a catchy upbeat tune with that aforementioned rasp, followed by the smooth crooning of "It Ain't Easy," the excellent songwriting and catchy hooks immediately hold your attention. One of the non-originals, "Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You," is okay, but no match for Wilson Pickett's definitive version.
There's an excellent deep soul track, "Now That I've Gone," six minutes of pure emotion that should be this release's most requested track. Included is a fine cover version of Luther Ingram's "Looking For A New Love Tonight" and " Down Home Girl (Goin' To Mississippi)," with the great Eldorados backing, and closes with the bluesy "Cry A Tear For You," all strong tracks you will want to hear again.
Visit Z.Z. Jr. on www.deltaroots.com; you'll be glad you did. Highly recommended for any lover of soul/blues, horns, and the golden days of Malaco".

 7. Twice as Nice - 2:25
 8. One of a Kind - 2:40
 9. Everyone's Grown Up but Me - 4:04

The nine tracks on this CD capture a mellow, late night feeling as Dan Hayes calls it himself - and he is right. The CD starts of with "Here's To You" - a tribute to Chicago blues artist Luther Allison - a mellow tribute indeed. "Money, Love And Time" is quite a fast song that features some great harmonica lines by Mark Adams and ends too fast - fast as money, love and time can go by. The next song "California" picks up the theme again and tells us how much money it really takes to live in California. A sniveling song? Yes, says Dan Hayes, but that's what blues is all about. "That's Why There's The Blues" explains it all and Holman & Gapinski's rhythmic work is quite cool - as are Mark's harmonica lines. "Flying Blind" is quite autobiographical and Dan describes how bad a drinking career can be. "My Opinion" is a love song, just as "Twice As Nice" (funky!) and "One Of A Kind" (rhythm cruise!) are. All these tracks are fun to listen to and Mark Adams' plays some sophisticated harmonica lines again. Well, and "Everyone's Grown Up But Me" is a sad blues again and has some great lyrics. California that's a great little blues album that features blues at its best.

“Jack” John Allen Knutson, was born in Fort Knox Kentucky in 1951, and raised in Virginia. Being just old enough to remember the birth of rock ’n roll in the late fifties, and just young enough to have caught the tail end of the big band era in the late sixties, he was witness to two overlapping worlds of American music, culture, and mythos. On account of that, he spent most of his adolescent years driftin’ from genre to genre. Had it not been for the timely 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Festival and his love of music and guitars, he might never have realized his true passions, nor managed to fuse them into any reasonable means of support or livelihood. As it were, he founded Knutson Luthiery in 1981 and has been a full time guitar builder and part time professional musician ever since, writing songs and playing his own hand crafted instruments in live performance and recordings. In pursuit of his craft he has single-handedly built over 350 of his custom designed instruments for discerning players around the world, and continues to produce fine instruments out of his Forestville, California shop. John defines his experience of seeing the Duke Ellington and Count Basie Orchestras, Big Joe Turner, B.B. King, and innumerable other blues, folk, and jazz roots players in the late sixties as his most important musical reference point, and he has lived on a steady diet of tritones ever since. This notwithstanding, he freely admits he’s not living in the past, and can readily appreciate pretty much anyone who can carry a tune and honestly manifest inspiration or spirit into their music and an audience, which is what this is really all about anyway.
Fans of acoustic string band music played with skill and taste are sure to welcome this collection of 13 original songs by luthier John Knutson, whose trio includes stand-up bassist Bill Fouty and former Mill Valley mandolin master David Grisman.
Knutson plays six of the instruments he built in his shop in Forestville, including mandolins and archtop, flat-top, and resonator guitars. He sings in a back porch baritone and blows a nice harmonica on socially conscious tunes he wrote over 45 years.
He leavens his anti-war and civil rights songs with a dose of wry humor on such tracks as “Talkin’ Lovesick Serenade: A Mean-Spirited Look at Heartache” and “Lowdown Money Blues: Pickin’ for a Livin’ Is a Tough Life for Most Musicians.”
As you would expect, Grisman plays with elegance and impeccable technique on Knutson’s mix of vocals, songs, and instrumentals. The album was recorded in two six-hour sessions, “unrehearsed, unplugged and raw,” Knutson informs us, and includes between song banter among the musicians, giving the listener an added sense of being in the studio during the recording.
As with any project Grisman is involved in, the disc includes a slick, full-color booklet with the lyrics and photos and descriptions of the instruments the musicians are playing on each cut —Paul Liberatore/

On the brink of her 85th birthday, soul and gospel legend and four-time Grammy winner Candi Staton releases an American-styled project, aptly titled “Back To My Roots.” The album is a mix of covers and originals, the former touching on The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, and Al Green. She also performs a duet with STAX living legend William Bell. Staton says, “These songs represent my roots. Even the new songs on some level represent something I’ve experienced and that’s what real soul music is about.” The iconic singer seems to be getting a bigger wave of publicity in the UK where she just received the American Music Association UK’s most prestigious honor, The International Lifetime Achievement Award.  The core of the album was recorded in the UK too with overdubs in Nashville.  She is also starring in a new film, “I’ll Take You There,” about the music and civil rights history of Alabama. There are a host of musicians and guests throughout that we will detail as we go centered around the core group of keyboardist (piano, organ , Rhodes) Myra Walker, guitarist Steve Lewis, and drummer Marcus Williams.  Opening original “I Missed the Target” is a gospel infused blues featuring Harry Connick Jr.’s longtime guitarist Jonathan DuBose Jr.  There are four background (“Hallelujah”) vocalists including Maggie Peebles, Staton’ older sister, who alongside Staton was a member of the Jewell Gospel Trio in the 1950s. Peebles sings two duets with Staton including the stirring traditional “It’s Gonna Rain,” in tribute to their mother. In keeping with the varied instrumentation throughout , this one just feature drum, electric guitar (Kenny Vaughn), steel guitar (Chris Scruggs) , and a bevy of six vocalists. Later the two sisters trade verses on the Thomas Dorsey 1939 classic “There Will Be Peace in the Valley,” popularized by Elvis.
As you listen, don’t be too fixated on terms such as roots and Americana. This is in essence a GOSPEL record, even down to the new songs.  Almost every track has at least one background vocalist, most with several. Original “Hang on in There, featuring blues guitarist Larry McCray is case in point and she renders her cover of The Rolling Stones 1972 hit, “Shine A Light” features a large choir, helping her to clearly put her own stamp on the song. She revives another Dorsey classic, often sung by Al Green, in “ The Lord Will Make a Way Somehow,” imbues by tasty blues guitar from Lewis and church-like organ. Her “God’s Gonna Use Me Anyway’ plays to a syncopated, slightly Caribbean rhythm as she duets with Karen Bryant, in the latter’s lone appearance. The pivotal track is “1963” where Staton dramatically delivers impassioned spoken words about the four Black girls killed in the Birmingham Church bombing (‘when I was 23 on that bloody Sunday in 1963”). Staton pours out her deepest emotions here claiming that it was so emotional she could only do it in one take. Unfortunately the racism she speaks about is still all too prevalent and on the rise under you know who. “Reach Down and Touch Heaven for Me” finds Staton alone on piano for the first time on record although she was a church pianist in the ‘60s. She says this original is straight Baptist as she and her three background vocalists make a a plea for the homeless. The standout up-tempo Motown-styled “Love Breakthrough” rings through as a roof raising church singalong.  She unearths Aaron Frazer & the Flying Stars of Brooklyn NY’s 2017 “My God Has a Telephone,” arranging it in a syncopated Malaco arrangement replete with three background vocalists and a couple of cameo verses from William Bell. The closer owes to late country singer Lari White. “in God’s Hands We Rest Untroubled” is a song that’s Staton’s held onto for a decade, finally getting a chance to record it. The orchestral backdrop driven by keyboards and special effects has this one sounding much different and far more solemn than the other tracks yet there is a sequence where Staton sings alone, evoking that 2006 brilliant album of hers, “His Hands.” Staton remains in fine voice almost twenty years later and hasn’t lost a drop of passion – Jim Hynes.

Hailing from Houston, Texas, the Moe Hansum Band performs Americana music with a strong emphasis in traditional acoustic blues. This 5-member band plays mainly originals with a taste of little-known covers from artists such as Bukka White, Robert Johnson and Jimmy Reed. They are often joined by one or more special guests on the slide guitar, fiddle, harmonica or horns. This Texas-bred music is a blend of folk blues with a splash of the soul and rhythm of the Mississippi delta blues. The Moe Hansum Band moves the audience with their dynamic performance, superb musicianship, and raw edge. The Moe Hansum Band has been together in many incarnations since the early 1990's. It ignited from the songwriting, singing, and guitar talents of Mike Durbin and Chuck Schwarz. The instrumentation currently consists of two acoustic and resonator guitarists, an upright acoustic bassist, a percussionist, and a drummer. They have performed at festivals such as the Kerrville Folk Festival (Kerrville, Texas) and at many other locations in Texas including Antones (Austin), the Continental Club (Houston) and Dan Electros Guitar Bar (Houston). They have also entertained at house concerts and private parties throughout Texas.
The Moe Hansum Band has an uncanny ability to personally move their audience. Songs like "My Old House" transport audience members to the memories of a childhood home complete with the childhood dog. From being moved to tears on one song to stomping their feet on the next song, Moe's audience deeply experiences their music. Moe's music can be healing and therapeutic for those longing for an authentic voice in traditional and modern folk blues. Mary Harris, of Ken & Mary's Blues Project, calls Moe "the John Steinbeck of music...When you hear the rift of the guitar in 'Poor Boy' your body starts to sway, you see the screen door slam as it closes on your broken heart...Time with Moe is like visiting your best friend to rejunevate your soul, to laugh and dance, to drink from the fountain of words...you leave feeling nourished in body and soul and smiling...wanting mo'e..." In 2004, the Moe Hansum Band released their first CD entitled, "Poor Boys Long Way From Home". It was produced by Mike Durbin and Sandy Buller, and is on Chocolate Buddha Records. The CD was recorded by John Hill at Loma Ranch Studios in Fredericksburg, Texas and mastered by Jerry Tubb at Terra Nova Digital Audio Mastering in Austin, Texas. The band is available to perform throughout N. America (USA and Canada) and in Europe.

Guitarist/vocalist Bobby Lindstrom delivers righteous blues-rock on A Lick And A Promise, a nine-song CD-R release described as "rich in Beatlesque songcraft and inspired electric guitar playing that falls somewhere between Billy Gibbons boogie and Rolling Stones grit." His lead vocals containing the prescribed amount of bluesy gruffness and dark hues, Lindstrom's Les Paul commands the rest of the attention, as he lays out searing, tube-driven solos over the all-original material. Lindstrom's bassist Sam Densmore produced, engineered and co-mixed A Lick And A Promise, even co-writing "Dirt For God" and "What Did I Do?". Also contributing significantly to the music were drummer Roy Eikamp, keyboardist Doug Randall and sax man Paul Biondi. For an album that epitomizes guitar-driven blues/rock music, track down a copy of A Lick And A Promise.
A native Oregonian, Bobby is a blues influenced rocker who has been playing guitar and singing for over thirty years. He's performed all over the West coast with artists such as Big Brother and the Holding Company, Clarence Clemmens, Henry Vestine of Canned Heat/

A singer and harp player comes directly from Boston, MA, an state that has always given great white blues harp players such as Barbecue Bob or Sugar Ray Norcia among others Hannon will certainly follow the same path if he continues so active and regularly working In this cd Dave has been lucky because a bunch of great musicians back him You will find a powerful Harlan Terson on bass or Dave Specter on guitar who perfectly know the blues language which becomes evident along the ten songs included on the cd, that offer real original Chicago blues with some swing drops which are a Specter contribution Marty Binder is on drums and he does an excellent perfoming with a precise tempo not only in shuffles but also in slows and grooves, while Tom West (Peter Wolf, Susan Tedeschi) gives us delightful juicy piano riffs The musical complicity between Tom and Dave Specter becomes evident all over the cd. A good record that will make you discover an amplified harp new talent.
