When talking about blues "made in Germany", you can actually only mean the Bluesanovas. In recent years, the band has achieved the status of an absolute live insider tip and has been able to convince fans and critics alike of their retro style. Their good reputation preceded the three-time "German Blues Award" winners, and so it is hardly surprising that none other than Eric Clapton invited the five musicians from Münster as a support act for his 2022 tour of Germany. With the three albums they have released so far and one EP - which they recorded and produced in the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis - the five-piece can draw on all the resources on the big stages of the republic and prove what blues "made in Germany" is capable of: Music that immediately goes over the ear into the leg.

Guitarist Bob Pace has entertained Midwest audiences for more than 40 years. He proudly led the Tuesday night house band at the legendary Blues On Grand for almost 20 years.
“Bob Pace is my favorite guitarist in the world, at least tonight while I’m sitting here at the bar in Blues On Grand, one of my favorite Blues clubs, watching Bob tear it up…” wrote Chip Eagle of Blues Revue.
Bob has opened for Blues icons Jimmie Vaughan, Johnny Winter, John Mayall, Tab Benoit, Tower of Power, Delbert McClinton and countless others.
Additionally, he has jammed with Junior Wells, Eric Sardinas, Coco Montoya, Kenny Neal, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, and Sonny Rhodes, to name but a few.
He picked up his first guitar at 10 and was serious by 14. Bob recalls the “defining experience” of watching The Beatles and the screaming girls on The Ed Sullivan Show.  That (the girls) sealed the deal: “I had to play guitar.”
His mother influenced him with the Gospel and Blues of Mahalia Jackson and Billie Holiday, while his Dad opened the gate to the Country music landscape of Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard. It came together as he immersed himself in his early guitar heroes – all the Kings, Roy Buchanan, Mike Bloomfield, Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton.
Bob has recorded Bob Pace Live at Blues on Grand; the solo CD Bare Bones; two tracks for two Blues Compilations on Bob Dorr’s Hot Fudge label; contributed two tunes to the Blues for Baghdad CD; played harmonica on the J.C. Anderson Band CD, and has done commercial and studio work.
Over the years Bob has played with many bands but especially enjoyed The Pace Band with sons Tony on drums and Nick on bass.
He has played at the CIBS Winter Blues Festival; Blues Under the Trees; Bowlful of Blues; Living History Blues Festival; the Benefit for Katrina victims; Blues for the Homeless, and benefits for Birdland Flood Damage, and Blues for Baghdad.
Bob has been featured on the cover of The Iowan and Datebook, was inducted into the Iowa Rock ‘n Roll Association’s Hall of Fame in 2009 and won the Solo/Duo Iowa Blues Challenge with IBHOF inductee Steve E. George in 2009.
“I am now at a place in my life where I can perform and promote The Blues full-time,” says Bob. “In 40 years, not a day has passed that I haven’t wanted to play The Blues. It’s in my DNA.”

Based again in 2012, the Austrian band BASEMENT SAINTS is obviously influenced via the 70s vintage rock/southern rock days. Their song is unique, with a singer that come what may rings a bell in my memory of IAN ASTBURY (THE CULT), a Hammond Organ that brings again the URIAH HEEP/DEEP PURPLE reminiscences and so is their Vintage Rock that also is a transparent HEEP/PURPLE affair.
Their line up is composed of Simon Molly (Drums), Anton Delen (Guitar, Bass & Vocals) and Robby Keys (Hammond Organ, Keys & Vocals), and Down South is their 4th album thus far, and particularly uptempo rockers like Spark In The Woods, Freeway Traces, the very good Sunflower Seeds, Boots and Buccaneer are a pleasure to hear if you happen to’re partial to natural vintage 70s onerous rock and roll.

But even so the entire rockers which are incorporated right here, the band additionally has calmer subject material, such because the semi-ballad Sail Thru The Night time that rings a bell in my memory of SLADE a bit of, and the melodic rocker Night time Owl (now not the LITTLE RIVER BAND vintage!).
There’s in truth no unmarried vulnerable second to be discovered on their new album, and lovers of aforementioned bands like URIAH HEEP, DEEP PURPLE, THIN LIZZY, 70s MANFRED MANN’S EARTH BAND, QUEEN, and many others.

"...This is his debut release, recorded for local record label Blue Lotus whose head Paul Niehaus IV adds Hammond organ here. Jake calls the Beano album (John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton) his starting point though you can hear the influence of a certain Jimi Hendrix in his playing too. However, the good news is that this is mainly a blues album, not a rock album with a hint of blues, and is all the better for it. Jake wrote five songs for the disc and adds four covers, two from the blues world, two from rock. The band is Jake on guitar and vocals, Dylan Roussel on bass, Juan Abair on drums and Paul Niehaus on keyboards.
“Let Me Whisper In Your Ear” opens the album, a short rocking shuffle in which Jake is clearly very taken with the girl, his lead guitar overdubbed on to his rhythm work. Slim Harpo’s “(I’m A) Kingbee” is given a solid treatment with slide and Jake’s clear vocals work well here. There is then a run of four originals, two fast, two slow: “I Need Love” brings Jake’s wah-wah pedal into action over a choppy rhythm while “Iodine And Antifreeze” has some fine slide playing over a boogie rhythm, a song that lyrically sits alongside Muddy’s “Iodine In My Coffee”, Jake adopting a more aggressive vocal tone that suits the lyrics. “What Am I Supposed To Do” is a classic slow blues with Paul’s Hammond adding to the lush arrangement. Jake plays and sings well as he is completely in thrall to the girl who continues to reject his advances, even her mother tells him he is “living in a dream; while you’re sitting talking to me, your baby is out running around with every man she sees”. “Leaving In The Morning” is a seven minute long blues that opens with gentle chords over the Hammond wash and builds into a wah-drenched solo that matches the angst of the lyrics.
Three diverse covers close out the album. Paul’s Hammond states the familiar riff of Jagger/Richards’ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash’ and Jake snarls the familiar lyrics over plenty of wah-wah. Bumble Bee Slim wrote “If The Blues Was Whiskey” (though Jake may have picked the song up from Luther Johnson’s 1994 cover); Jake’s version is played solo on resonator and is a good change of gear from the electric material. The album then closes with Dylan’s “(All Along The) Watchtower”, a song that, famously, Dylan never again played in its original acoustic form after hearing Hendrix’s electric version. The song has been covered so many times that it is hard to find a new angle; Jake’s elegant guitar at the beginning is very pleasing to the ear though his overuse of the wah-wah as the song develops did nothing for this reviewer.
Overall this is a promising debut disc, Jake showing that he has a range of styles at his disposal and the ability to produce original music alongside covers that no doubt appeal to a live audience" ~ Blues Blast magazine.

Mable John was the first female artist signed by Berry Gordy, Jr. to the Tamla label, which preceded Motown by more than two years, and one of the few artists to record for the top two labels for 1960s soul, Motown and Stax. John's three single releases were part of an unsuccessful blues fling for the company; besides Mable John, Gordy released blues sides by Sammy Ward, Luther Allison, Amos Milburn, Earl King, Arthur Adams, and many others.The eldest of nine siblings (one of whom was legendary R&B artist Little Willie John, of "Fever" and "Talk to Me" fame), Mable John was born in Bastrop, Louisiana. Her parents moved to Arkansas when she was a kid, then later to Detroit to find employment in the bustling auto industry. After graduating from Pershing High School in Detroit, John began working for Berry Gordy's mother, Bertha, who ran a small insurance company. She met Gordy in 1956, started recording for him in 1959, and had her first release, "Who Wouldn't Love a Man Like That," on Tamla in 1960, a solid blues item that went nowhere. Her next single, 1961's "No Love," had potential, but Motown simply couldn't sell blues. Her final release, "Actions Speak Louder Than Words," appeared during the latter part of 1961.By 1962, blues at Motown became history, and John was dropped from the roster. (The Supremes, who sang backing vocals on some of John's sessions, became superstars a few years after her departure.) John then moved to Ray Charles' Raelettes, performing with them before and after her stint with Stax Records. Her Stax experience began in 1966 and ended in 1968, during which time she waxed the deep soul classic "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)," her most successful record. Stax released six other singles by her: "You're Taking Up Another Man's Place," "Bigger and Better," "I'm a Big Girl Now," "Don't Hit Me No More," "Able Mable," and "Running Out." One album, entitled Stay Out of the Kitchen, would have been definitive if it had included "Don't Hit Me No More."After leaving Stax in 1968 and rejoining the Raelettes for a brief time, John retired from secular music and devoted herself exclusively to Christianity. In the mid-'70s she managed the Autographs, who had a deal with RCA (unfortunately, the label didn't release any records by them under John's watch). In 1994, the Rhythm & Blues Foundation inducted Mable John into their Hall of Fame. It was a just honor for the underrated blues singer, who made excellent records but never had the luck or the timing to achieve the prominence she deserved. Mabel John died on August 25, 2022, in Los Angeles at the age of 91.© Andrew Hamilton

It will have to be a big statue, because he wasn't called Big Miller for nothing -- although he did look pint-size when standing alongside his fellow blues shouter Big Joe Turner during a reunion tour in the '70s. The plan is to unveil a life-sized statue of Miller by the year 2003 in one of Edmonton, Alberta's city parks. It is a long way from the Kansas City jazz scene that welcomed Miller as a singer beginning in his teenage years. But Edmonton was this artist's adopted home from the '70s up until his death in the early '90s. It is said that he lived in the backseat of the car he'd driven into Edmonton in for several months before becoming established enough to afford his own place, which seems a bit harsh for a fellow who had already paid dues performing with the likes of Duke Ellington and Count Basie. Hopefully this didn't take place in the winter, when that northern city's temperatures can dip to 30 below zero and stay that way for weeks. If so, they might have wound up calling him "Frozen Miller" and a statue would not have been needed. He was born Clarence Horatius Miller, and perhaps his most defining career moment came in the '50s with his participation in the Jon Hendricks revue entitled The Evolution of the Blues. Miller's size, vocal power, and intense stage presence combined to drive home the legend of the blues shouters, men who could sing over an entire big band without using a microphone. The success of this show led to a recording contract with Columbia, for whom the artist cut several albums, a pair of which were reissued on a CD package in 2000. The earlier stages of his recording career included a stint with Savoy, which was one of the first jazz labels to record him. A group led by Clifford Curry known as the Clovers, which would later change its name to the Five Pennies, provided backup on some of the Savoy sessions. The singer also doubled on trombone, sometimes playing in a big band section and later using this instrument for special solo features, although his range was limited. Miller also had a sideline movie career, including a cameo in the star-packed comedy It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Cinematic activities also continued in the frozen North, where one of Miller's strangest projects was a role in the surrealistic film Big Meat Eater, directed by Chris Windsor. From the script synopsis: "Bob's life is thrown into turmoil when he decides to hire Abdullah (The Big Meat Eater) -- a massive human blockhouse of a man -- as an apprentice in his butcher shop. Unbeknownst to Bob, Abdullah has just murdered the Mayor of Burquitlam in a fit of pique -- and the corpse is hidden in Bob's freezer...Abdullah sings the blues while he charcoal grills gangsters and turns dalmatian dogs into spotted spam..." Okay. 
Miller's Edmonton activities more normally included collaborations with the city's top local artists such as the bandleader Tommy Banks, with whom Miller performed a highly acclaimed concert at the Montreux Pop Festival. Although the singer's repertoire was of course focused around standards and blues numbers from the Kansas City days, he kept an ear to the ground in the '70s and wound up doing a fine cover version of "Big Yellow Taxi" by Alberta native Joni Mitchell. In 1987, the National Film Board of Canada chose Miller as the subject of documentary short, no doubt presenting a better image of the man than in his role as Abdullah. Miller was also closely involved with the formation and growth of his adopted city's jazz society. The Edmonton Jazz Society first began organizing events a few years after the singer had moved to the city, a period in which the last major appearances by jazz artists was a tour by Louis Armstrong in the '40s. At first the new jazz organization was only throwing small club gigs in rented venues. With Miller's frequent participation as a guest artist and enthusiastic spokesman for live jazz, the jazz society grew into the sponsors of a citywide festival presenting dozens of concerts each summer. Another music program in this area that expanded greatly during Miller's lifetime was the Banff Centre for Fine Arts located a few hundred miles to the southwest of Edmonton in the Rocky Mountains. The facility added a jazz program in the early '70s, eventually allowing an opportunity for the big singer to expand into the role of a teacher. His fellow faculty members included virtuoso jazz pianist Oscar Peterson. Miller tends to be remembered fondly by his fellow musicians, some of whom recorded tributes. These include a piano solo recorded by Kansas City old-timer Jay McShann entitled "Big Miller's Blues," as well as a track entitled "Never Be the Same: Big Miller Blues" by the Canadian Shuffle Demons. ~ Eugene Chadbourne

As far as I can tell, Louisiana blueswoman Janet Lynn’s 2002 debut, “Tainted Rose,” is her only solo album, and that’s a shame.
Lynn’s voice washes over listeners with a combination of sexiness and sweetness in much the same way that Lou Ann Barton’s does. Listen to Lynn’s and Barton’s recording of “Sugar Coated Love” back to back and you can hear the same impish spirit bursting through their powerful vocals.Lynn’s at her best when she’s barreling through a song. She romps through the swinging “Sweet Daddy” and the swampy blues “Crazy About You.” But she can scorch listeners with a ballad, too, as she does on a cover of Dorothy Moore’s soul classic “Misty Blue.” And on the album’s title track, which is sure to please Janis Joplin fans, Lynn’s voice throbs with a sensuous roughness.There’s nothing rough about Lynn’s rendition of the jazz standard “The Masquerade is Over,” titled “Masquerade.” The song’s one more example of her versatility and talent.

A singer-songwriter gifted with a ringing baritone-bass voice, Ashford Gordon has appeared with various artists nationwide over the past three decades including the late Louisiana "Guitar" Red, his mentor, Joe Houston, Eric Burdon, Roy Gaines, Robert "Jr." Lockwood and Jackie Lomax, the first artist signed to the Beatles Apple Records label. Ashford has been favorably compared to Robert Cray and as a writer offers a contemporary take on electric blues. Owing to his living in Northern California for more than 20 years, his music has some of the flavor of both San Francisco and Santa Cruz.
Out of the Hill country of Northeastern Mississippi through the ‘50s Rhythm & Blues of the Pruitt-Igoe Projects of St. Louis, nurtured in the Blues and Gospel of his teen years in the San Francisco Bay Area, Ashford Gordon bears the standard for Contemporary Blues with a pedigree for the deep Blues of his birthplace in Starkville, Mississippi.

"Joe Metzka is not your average blues man. He moved to the sacred ground of St. Louis and assembled a world class band that delivers a full package of blues, soul, funk and jazz seamlessly. The charismatic vocals, confident solos and killer grooves of this group will take you to the next level of appreciation for a live music experience you deserve."  ~ John May, St. Louis Blues Society

This is modern day soul legend Roland Johnson's first album with St. Louis record label Blue Lotus Recordings. He's like a fine aged wine, complex and utterly pleasing to the senses. His charisma is utterly captivating and undeniable.
If you’ve been missing Wilson Pickett since that great soul singer’s demise, some of his spirit can be found in Roland Johnson. “Can’t Get Enough” and “Promised Land” render the evidence for the Pickett-like vocal phrasings, though in a less intense singing style than the Wicked Pickett’s – but who could match that? “Mother” is another one, a New Orleans-style tune that digs into the ‘60s rhythm and blues bag, while “The Things You Do,” “Sweet Little Nothings” and especially the title track, “Imagine This” would get anyone off their butts and to the dance floor. Rather than cut new musical terrain, Johnson draws on the best of horn-driven old-style rhythm and blues to show it’s still kicking along just fine. (Joe Safari, Roots Music Report).
