A collection of songs we think represent us and what has become a clear representation of our music over the past two years; half blues and half other. Our interpretation of the blues revolves largely around the heroes of early electric blues; Magic Sam, John Lee Hooker, Freddie King to name a few but what do we mean by the other, the other half of us – the other side of 50/50? During the pandemic, a common interest and love for Old school funk, soul and rhythm and blues grew – styles we feel complement our firm anchoring in the blues while giving us a contrast in our music. We hope this contrast is not only exciting for us but at least as exciting for the audience! This is what 50/50 is for us: a musical statement about who we are. 50/50 is an invitation to what the audience already knows about us and what they don't yet know; the comfortable and the challenging.
The Bluetonics is a band that plays blues. Improvisation, rejuvenation and rawness are the guiding principles for creation – alongside the tradition-bound nature that is also required for the musical style. The Bluetonics work through their music to broaden the definition of blues by playfully and exploratively utilizing the broad influences that are closely related to the blues; funk, jazz and Americana. The sum of all this is The Bluetonics – a blues band with its feet in both the traditional and the challenging. In 2021, the debut EP Tåg Till Södertälje was released with two accompanying singles; Sickla Shuffle and Fine By Me. The EP, which was recorded during the first fiery year of the pandemic, has supported the band's establishment as one of the more popular and sought-after acts on the Stockholm scene.

11. Once in a Blue Moon - 6:51

"Once In A Blue Moon" is a CD composed of entirely original material by Thor And The Thundercats, a local area band from Vancouver, Canada. Thor Kristinnson's somewhat inconsistant vocals get the job done on some songs, but others would benefit from more polish.
While the vocals could use a little help, the rest of the package is very good. Thor's guitar is strong throughout the CD, punctuating the good songs, pulling up the marginal ones. And while I'm not usually a big sax fan, the playing featured here is lively & enjoyable. The boys cut loose on Shut Up!. The repetitive chorus gets a little old, but excellent trade-offs between guitar and sax are the focus of the song. Other notable songs are Blues Crusader, an up-beat blues shuffle, & Take a Picture, the bands offering in the straight ahead, hard-edged blues department. There is heavy
SRV influence evident in the later, and while this is sometimes taken with disfavor, I think there's nothing wrong with emulating the "great ones", as long as you can pull it off, which Thor does nicely. Bad Investment, a humorous tale of good money gone bad, is another very good tune. The title cut, Once in a Blue Moon, is a nicely done, melancholy blues ballad, although I do feel it's one of the songs that could benefit from stonger vocals. There's some really good, entertaining music here. All in all, though, this is a good effort. Using all original material, Thor Kristensen has put together a respectable CD.

You like traditional Chicago style blues...this thing smokes! The release is made up of 13 original and cover tracks. This recording really gets that Chicago sound down and doesn't overplay. It sounds fresh and vibrant. Little Johnny Lawton goes a great job on vocals and has great guitar style. Akarsha "Aki" Kumar blows a mean harp and the rhythm section (Frank DeRose on bass and Carlos Velasco on drums) are tight. They have special guests including Johnny "Cat" Soubrand and Chris "Kid" Anderson guitars as well as Sid Morrison piano. This entire recording is very tight and these guys swing.

"I’m Mick Kolassa, a lifelong musician and hardcore blues fan who, in addition to being an active blues artist, also am head of Endless Blues Records and a former member of the Board of Directors of the Blues Foundation".
Mick has been turning out blues records for several years and with each one he's learned a little more about what to do and what not to do. During that time his life has also presented him with many challenges - and opportunities. Drawing on that, Mick has come up with this one, flavored with personal tragedy and triumph, with dashes of humor and pain - that's kind of what Mick does! The album title, Blue To The Bone, is what Blues Blast Magazine said about him. For this album Mick assembled his favorite team of musicians, beginning with producer and guitarist Jeff Jensen, teamed with a solid group of Memphis based musicians: James Cunningham, Bill Ruffino, Rick Steff, Tom Lonardo, Carl Casperson, Eric Hughes, Marc Franklin and Kirk Smothers. Joining them was harmonica ace Bob Corritore on a very special song.
The album opens with "This Getting Old is Getting Old," Mick's song about the misery of aging, followed by "Bourbon and You," which deals with missing a lover. Mick's love of blues poured itself into the next song, "All it Takes is Blues.' "For Better or For Worse" is Mick's song that follows up on his most played song (literally millions of streams) "Baby's Got Another Lover," which Mick wrote about his wife's addiction to alcohol, this new song covers the final few months of her life - it isn't intended to make you smile. With "Something to Look Forward To" Mick returns to the subject of aging and continues with that theme in the song "I'd Like To Be Recycled. The humor of this tune is followed by the humor of Mick's versions of an obscure country song "If My Nose Was Running Money" Mick re-imagined his previously released song "Mr. Right" as well as the classic Merle Travis song "16 Tons." The album closes with Mick's "Please Don't Write That Song," which kind of speaks for itself!
