The second album in the solo career of the founder of Dr. Sin arrives this Friday, the 31st with a debut show at the Blue Note this Saturday, August 1st. Ivan Busic releases his second album Into the Blues this Friday, the 31st, delving into the roots of the blues that shaped his artistic identity since childhood. The project, successor to Rock and Road (2013), was born from a call, an inspiration felt on Christmas Eve.
That silent night, his wife Nathalia showed him a Fleetwood Mac album that he hadn't yet heard, from the brilliant Peter Green era. Influenced by other masters such as B.B. King, Freddie King, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Ma Rainey, he felt a creative impulse that was impossible to ignore. Installed in the living room and surrounded only by instruments, Busic let the music happen. More than ten songs emerged in just one week. In the same period, drums, guitars and most of the arrangements were already recorded. A process as fast as it is spontaneous. To bring this sonic journey to life, Ivan also brought together musicians who are part of his history and personal admiration. On double bass is his beloved brother, Andria Busic, and on keyboards the surreal João Nogueira. Into the Blues is an album that moves between memory and instinct. “My father, André Busic, has always been my musical hero, spreading his art around the world with the Traditional Jazz Band, the Blue Gang and many other projects, never looking for the spotlight, but always faithful to music”, added Ivan.
The record is the frontman's heart and soul printed in every note. A visceral record, full of feeling, respect for roots and passion for music. A work made to warm the soul of those who created it and of all those who allow themselves to embark on this journey. In an interview with Wikimetal, Ivan spoke about what he expects from rock and metal fans' reaction to his new work: "I hope people feel the same way I feel when I listen to the album. May it bring you moments of reflection, of inspiration to give you strength in your days." To celebrate the launch of the project, Ivan Busic will perform a show at Blue Note in São Paulo.

 9. Home (Acoustic) - 4:01

Full Spread is released on 1 August 2026 across all major streaming platforms. Erin McCallum has produced an album that isn’t interested in chasing trends or fitting neatly into a single genre. Instead, she draws from blues, Americana, folk, country and soul to create something warm, honest and thoroughly enjoyable. If you’re looking for polished songwriting, authentic musicianship and an album that rewards sitting back and listening, “Full Spread” is well worth your time.
“I Need a New Lover” opens proceedings with a wonderfully old-school blues groove. It’s the soundtrack to a deserted main street somewhere in the Wild West, dust blowing between the buildings while a lone harmonica player leans against the jailhouse wall. It caught me completely off guard. Catchy, confident and full of playful “take me, make me” lyrical energy, it’s a strong opening statement.
“Good Good News” follows with two-and-a-half minutes of uplifting, feel-good blues. This is the sort of song that quietly sneaks into your head after a couple of listens. Whether you’re winding down after a long day or enjoying a quiet evening in the garden, it fits the mood perfectly. It celebrates life’s brighter moments and, as A.A. Milne wisely observed, today is a present. It’s also wonderfully radio-friendly and deserves plenty of airplay.
“Lost Myself Loving You” showcases one of Erin’s strongest vocal performances on the album. There’s genuine emotion here as she explores the blindness that can accompany love, while the blues influence remains firmly rooted in both the lyrics and delivery. I particularly enjoyed the subtle harmony work in the chorus, while the instrumental break gives the song room to breathe before returning to its reflective mood.
“The Big Shout” takes me straight back to the American West. It has a wonderfully cinematic quality, the kind of song you could imagine drifting across a saloon while the regulars nurse their whiskey and the barmaid moves between the tables with a knowing wink and a smile. I particularly enjoyed the rhythm section here, with understated drums providing a slow, moody foundation. Our resident in-house drummer Ferdinand was especially taken with this one.
“You Have It All” gently lightens the mood with an easy-going rhythm that conjures images of the final slow dance after everyone else has gone home and the band is packing away for the night. It doesn’t demand attention, but it settles comfortably into the album and provides a pleasant change of pace.
“Good Intentions” is another highlight for me. There’s a little more bite in the lyrics and a touch more rock in the groove, giving the song extra momentum. It has all the ingredients of a real live favourite, one that audiences could easily clap and sing along with.
“Broken Lies” is the standout track on Full Spread. It opens with real atmosphere before settling into a weighty, deliberate rhythm that perfectly complements the song’s emotional intensity. The backing harmonies create an almost haunting quality, while Erin delivers one of her finest performances on the record. It’s blues wrapped in mystery, almost like wandering through Harlem on a rainy night with a pack of tarot cards tucked beneath your arm. At just over three minutes long, it’s three minutes of pure musical indulgence and the track I’d be adding to my own playlist.
“I’m Still Here (For Now)” introduces a welcome splash of funk into the mix. It’s blues with a seventies swagger, the sort of song that belongs on an open road with the windows down and a classic American car stretching out into the horizon.
Finally, “Home” is an acoustic closer for the album. This one is blues for the campfire, intimate, as the evening breeze moves gently through the trees. We have mountains, sunset and the morning meeting the night. Close your eyes and drift along to this one, flotsam to the bay.

Vladimir Sobolewski - upright bass;
Peter Balkwill - drums.

They loved the blues, but hated its popular, generic practitioners. It was the motivating factor for the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir. That, and Judd Palmer’s and drummer Pete Balkwill’s acceptance of an opening slot for Canadian bluesman Lester Quitzau despite not having a band. You see, Palmer played slide guitar in Calgary country-folk band Great Uncle Bull. They would have made a good opener, but they broke up. He talked bassist and fellow Bullsman Vladimir Sobolewski into doing the gig. Sobolewski, in turn, called hotshot guitarist Bob Keelaghan from punk-blues-unsane-abilly combo The Puritans, knowing he shared Palmer’s love for early blues and country. Keelaghan wasn’t busy because The Puritans just broke up, too. Sobolewski knew this because he also played in The Puritans. In one week with three rehearsals, they put together a set and played the gig in January of 2001. Then people kept asking them to play.
The Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir’s raucous, firebrand interpretations of pre-WW II acoustic blues and country struck a chord with Calgarian audiences. The roots crowd liked them for their reverence for the musical sources minus the obvious cliches of many modern interpreters. But rock audiences ate up their sets, too. The Agnostics managed to translate and amplify the energy of early Skip James and Son House, transcending the lo-fidelity of a scratchy 78, and reminding young listeners why this music mutated into rock’n’roll.
Balkwill left the band in the first year of its existence and was replaced by Jason Woolley. In 2003 that line-up recorded the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir debut, St. Hubert, in a friend’s house in Canmore. It was cut, mostly, live off the floor. The ingredients were fierce and striking: Palmer’s gutteral vocals, vicious, downtuned, slide guitar, and ragged-but-right banjo; Keelaghan’s equally gravelly vocals, frenetic finger-picking, and cutting lead guitar; Sobolewski’s pounding upright bass; and Woolley’s clanging drum and scrap metal kit. The band was taken by surprise when the disc started getting airplay across Canada on campus radio stations and the first pressing sold out. Gig offers started coming in from festivals across Canada. The Agnostics were no longer Calgary’s secret.

Music has guided me since I was a young boy.I remember working as a manual laborer and harvesting potatoes for two months at the age of 13 so I could afford my first electric guitar and finally start learning to play. Back then, albums by American bluesmen were extremely rare, and I had to hunt them down all over Italy. That passion gave rise to what would become my stage name: Peppe o Blues. At 16, while working manual jobs, I began taking lessons in jazz guitar and improvisation. Then, in 1984, I was invited to attend the Umbria Jazz seminars and played with Curtis Fuller; the following year, I was selected to play in the festival's Big Band, opening for Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I trained at the Berklee College of Music in Boston (USA), having won a scholarship there in 1985. I studied with prominent musicians such as Kevin Eubanks, Jim Kelly, Al Defino, Larry Monroe, and Orville Wright, mastering music theory and technique. It was during this time that I came to understand that music is an expression of the mind and soul.In 1987, I moved to New York, where I continued my studies with Kevin Eubanks. I lived in the Bronx and played in jazz clubs where white musicians were rarely accepted. It was a very tough year, but one that helped me grow both as a man and as a musician. Over the course of my nearly 35-year career, I have had the honor and pleasure of performing with genuine stars such as Buddy Miles (Jimi Hendrix’s drummer and vocalist for Carlos Santana), Otis Rush (Eric Clapton), Michael Coleman (Muddy Waters’ guitarist), Junior Wells, Curtis Fuller, George Adams, Dannie Richmond, Sugar Blue (harmonica player on the Rolling Stones’ “Miss You”), Shirley King (B.B. King’s daughter), Sammy Fender, Sharon Clarke (backing vocalist for Albert King and Tina Turner), Dave Ball (Procol Harum), Mick Underwood (Ian Gillan, Deep Purple), and Mac Pole (Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Gong); I have also opened for acts such as Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Miriam Makeba, Bobby Watson, Canned Heat, Charlie Musselwhite, Tommy Castro, Chris Wilson (lead singer of the Flamin’ Groovies), and, more recently, Fabrizio Moro.

Monster Axe Slinger Brad “Guitar” Wilson Is Boundless On New Cali Bee Music Album Set for Release July 31.Acclaimed guitarist Brad “Guitar” Wilson has announced a July 31 release date for his new album, Boundless on Cali Bee Music. Boundless is the follow-up to Brad’s 2025 release, The Californian, a top charting album on the Roots Music Report, spending 12 weeks at #1 on their Blues Rock Album chart and multiple appearances on their blues rock songs list. The Californian also charted heavily on the UK’s IBBA (Independent Blues Broadcasters Association) chart and is featured on SiriusXM’s B.B. King’s Bluesville channel for his song, "Lightning In a Bottle." Boundless was produced once again by Grammy-winner Francis Buckley and recorded at legendary High Fidelity ICP Studios in Brussels, Belgium, as well as at the Musicians Institute Studios in Hollywood, California.  Boundless is filled with songs that allow Wilson to work beyond his stellar blues guitar playing and represents his ability to expand his songwriting and performances to greater heights. No limits…Boundless. Brad Wilson is slated to tour the USA and Europe throughout the rest of 2026 into 2027. Four tracks from Boundless are going to digital retail outlets through CD Baby, with B.B. King’s classic, “The Thrill Is Gone,” already on sale at all digital outlets.  
“’The Thrill Is Gone’ was recorded in Brussels, Belgium, at the famous ICP Studios,” Brad Wilson says.” “They have an amazing collection of vintage equipment, and the studio had purchased one of B.B. King's ‘Lucille’ guitars. The sound of the guitar rings so true on this classic B.B. King song. It made recording this so exciting to hear the playback for the first time.” The other initial digital tracks going out in advance include two Brad Wilson originals - “Living Underground” and “Sky Full of Rain”- and a bluesy take on the Tears for Fears’ hit, “Everybody Wants To Rule the World.” About his two originals in this first batch release, Wilson commented: “On ‘Living Underground,’ like everyone, I was reading about the terrible war in Ukraine, so I wrote ‘Living Underground’ imagining the experience of your home and everything you love gone. Under these conditions, you begin to live underground for safety.  A furry friend turns up and makes his life better. ‘Sky Full of Rain’ is a blues showcase for guitar that producer Francis Buckley recorded and mixed so well. A story of desperation, no job and no longer having the skills to find work.” For his re-imagining of the Tears for Fears ‘80s smash hit, “Everybody Wants To Rule the World,” Wilson adds, “I had always loved this song, and both the music and lyrics I find inspiring. Recorded at ICP studios with the band I tour with in Europe. The musicians played the song with the intensity of an original, and we also perform this song live in concert. It fits my style and blends in with the show and allows me to play lots of hot lead guitar!” “All the musicians are stellar, very talented players and during the recording of Boundless they came in and really brought the songs to life. The focus for the new album is on my new original songs along with playing rockin' blues guitar and vocals. There are some monster covers on this record. I know everybody likes to put things in a box for formats and it makes sense for radio, but this is a record that’s right down the center with the feel of an accomplished guitar player performing songs that fit my rockin’ Americana style. However, as I say, the focus is really about my new originals that have an upbeat dance beat, heavy on guitar songs.”

Celebrated blues and roots band Misty Blues, fronted by singer, guitarist and founder Gina Coleman, will release their 18th studio album, ‘Still Ticking‘, on July 31st, 2026 via Guitar One Records — available digitally and on CD and vinyl. Arriving in the band’s 27th year together, the 11-track collection is what the band calls “blues fusion”: every song rooted in blues, then wrapped in a second or third genre of choice, from funk and folk to jazz and soul.
Reviewing the record for Global Blues Radio, one critic likened its range to a gumbo — blues, jam-band stretch, jazz and Americana all simmered into one pot — and argued that Misty Blues keep finding new ground without ever losing sight of the twelve-bar tradition they started from. That balancing act plays out across the record’s eleven tracks: Coleman and co-writer Seth Fleischmann open the set with the topical, guitar-driven ‘State Of The Union‘ and ‘I Don’t Wanna Be‘, before the band leans into looser, groove-first territory on ‘Gimme Some More‘, ‘On The Town‘ and ‘Mess With Me‘.
Aaron Dean’s saxophone and Diego Mongue’s bass, organ and percussion give the record its low end and its jazz colour, while David Vittone’s keys and Rob Tatten’s drums keep the arrangements loose enough to breathe. ‘This Love‘, co-written with Ed Moran, and the closing pair ‘Passion‘ and ‘Battle Cry‘ pull the album back toward the ensemble, gospel-rooted sound the band has built its reputation on over 27 years.
Most of ‘Still Ticking‘’s songs were written throughout 2025 by Gina Coleman, then arranged by the full band during a long weekend getaway session on Nantucket that November. The album was recorded in February and March of 2026 at Playing Field Studio in Williamstown, Massachusetts — the band’s own home studio, with Diego Mongue as primary recording engineer alongside Roan Gibson and Seth Fleischmann. Coleman’s songwriting for the record was shaped in large part by the recent social and political climate, giving the collection its charge and, ultimately, its title: a statement that after 27 years and 18 albums, Misty Blues is still ticking.
“This album continues to do what we do best… push the boundaries of the genre in unique and wildly exciting ways,” says Coleman.
Every Misty Blues album has featured the artwork of Michael Mongue — Gina Coleman’s husband and the father of bassist Diego Mongue — but until now, each cover had been drawn from his existing body of work. ‘Still Ticking‘ marks the first time Mongue has created a piece specifically for a Misty Blues album: a whimsical, mixed-media acrylic-on-paperboard relief built around the band’s six core members.
‘Still Ticking‘ follows a run of releases that has kept Misty Blues in the conversation well beyond the New England blues circuit. Their 17th album, ‘Other Side Of Blue‘, was submitted for Recording Academy consideration in four categories for the 2025 GRAMMY® Awards, including Best Contemporary Blues Album.
The band’s Odetta tribute, ‘Tell Me Who You Are: A Live Tribute To Odetta‘, spent 24 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Roots Music Report’s Traditional Folk Album chart in 2023, and its follow-up, ‘I’m Too Old For Games: A Live Tribute To Odetta‘, along with the original album ‘Silver Lining‘, helped earn the band seven GRAMMY® nomination considerations across categories spanning blues, folk, and American roots music in 2024.

b. 26 March 1946, San Francisco, California, USA. His real name was reportedly Willie Boyd or Willie Gitry. He was brought up in Richmond, California, and sang in vocal groups as a youngster; he also learned to play guitar in the early 60s, going on to play with Big Mama Thornton, Jimmy McCracklin, and others (he also recorded with McCracklin). Following a spell in Los Angeles (1969-1971), he formed his own band around 1972. In 1973 he joined Charlie Musselwhite’s band, and the following year he toured and recorded with John Mayall. Harris was also involved in film work: he wrote the theme song for Mandingo (sung by Muddy Waters) and sang on the soundtrack of Leadbelly. Harris was ‘an excellent guitarist in both the slide and regular fingerstyles’ (Blues Unlimited).

Charlie Sayles started performing in 1973 and has since played his harmonica on every major street corner of the United States. His impeccable technique has landed him gigs in blues clubs from London to Shanghai and even at Carnegie Hall where his wide repertoire of self-penned material was given a standing ovation.
Charlie SaylesSayles’ unique style, gleaned from his journeys to New York, St. Louis, and Atlanta, has been documented by the Smithsonian in an effort to capture the last soundbites from authentic blues journeymen. In Charlie Sayles and the Blues Disciples, he brings together his thoughts about the world, our place in it, and our collective future, with the use of a very familiar formula one just doesn’t grow tired of hearing. All the songs on this album can be described as groovy and just plain cool. They are all built similarly as well: sparsely layered with unembellished drums driving the whole thing, an electric guitar plucking out a supporting melody, and Sayles’ smooth, husky vocals or dynamic harmonica playing solo after solo. This makes these songs perfect to lay back and enjoy while tapping a foot (and maybe even a hand). And yet each cut still has different characteristics, from the almost rock-like sensibilities of the bluesy “Everybody’s Got Something to Say” to the funk-inspired “Green Peace”. “I Don’t Want to Die”, “New Day Coming”, and “Vietnam” are pure blues numbers, while “Arella”, “Jesus Christ”, and “These Chains” have jazzy moments. Interestingly enough, “Laughin’ and Grinnin’” and “Those Things of Old” both have an almost country-like flavour to their blues. The topics are as raw and honest as the overall sound of the record. “Green Peace” takes a look at the environmental situation in our world with a look at resolution, while “These Chains” refers to the shackles of addiction, and you can guess which war “Vietnam” refers to. Going back to the roots of blues music, Charlie Sayles and the Blues Disciples has a rich sound that fans will dig over and over again. It is available now for streaming on SoundCloud, and more information on Sayles can be found on his Facebook page.
