The album Raised In South Dakota serves as a deeply personal musical project for singer-songwriter Tim Wolf, who recorded these tracks to honor his origins. The collection consists of ten original songs written during his time in the state alongside covers that heavily influenced his early development. Wolf features a notable rendition of Chris Stapleton's track titled South Dakota, which he believes perfectly encapsulates the record's spirit. Through blues-inspired guitar work and authentic storytelling, the musician explores the memories and people that defined his formative years. Ultimately, Wolf intends for this hour-long musical journey to resonate with listeners by helping them connect with their own life experiences.

As Downbeat magazine noted, “His songs are blues poetry – crafted with rare verbal flair and his ability to cast a memorable hook is magical!” Live, these songs are performed with power and passion as observed by Living Blues magazine, “The vivacity and sheer joy with which Cru plays is intoxicating!” Tas Cru is based out of upstate New York and performs in multiple formats ranging from solo acoustic to a 7 piece-backing band. He sings and plays a wide variety of guitars – at home on either electric, acoustic, resonator or cigar box. Tas is a Delaney Guitars (Austin TX) endorsed artist.

Exeter Blues is the musical project of Australian singer, songwriter, and slide guitarist Dave O'Leary (David John O'Leary) and rhythm/groove musician Beej Barker. Known for a raw, raucous blend of Mississippi delta slide guitar, Cajun country, and modern punk funk, their music features gritty story songs built on O'Leary's life on the road.The duo draws on six albums of original material, regularly performing classic interpretations of artists like Robert Johnson, Tom Waits, and Bob Dylan.  John O'Leary has been a life-long folk/blues/rock musician. His bands have opened shows for two dozen R&R Hall of Fame acts—including Joni Mitchell, Eric Clapton, The Grateful Dead, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, and Frank Zappa. In the 1990s he played with oleary&lalli, a contemporary-folk guitar duo, with whom he recorded a CD, imaginatively titled "oleary&lalli," which received airplay on over 50 folk radio stations around North America. He has performed in top coffeehouses and concert venues from The Troubadour, Four Muses, and Hollywood Bowl in Southern California to Gerde's Folk City and The Bitter End in New York. He has recorded his songs with top session musicians such as Dave Mattacks, Richard Gates, and Kevin Barry—who have recorded or toured with the likes of Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Elton John, Cat Stevens, Shawn Colvin, and Mary Chapin Carpenter. When asked how he is able to gather such top-tier music talent around him, John patiently explains his unorthodox business practice: "I pay them." These days he mostly plays bottle-neck slide guitar (with or without the bottle) accompanying his goddaughter, Abigail Arndt, a 19-year-old vocal prodigy. John and Abigail perform in-person in the New England area and online throughout North America.

 8. Quit Your Whining - 2:23
 9. Loving for Love's Sake - 3:22

If you’re looking for an original singer with a distinctive brand, Chicago-born Denise La Grassa is the ticket. She has the pipes, but isn’t like any of the well-known high-octane female belters of the past. There’s a quirky, deep-throated, polished hell-bent tonality to Ms. La Grassa that stands out like lightning between dark clouds. -John Apice, Americana Highways/
Sundown Rising moves Denise La Grassa further into what she calls “my take on the blues.”  The title is a nod to historical ‘sundown towns.’ Though no longer officially ‘a thing,’ she argues that the poor and marginalized, disproportionally people of color, are still cast aside in a country of abundance. She also takes a sassy swipe at social media on “None of Your Business,” at politicians on “Good Rule Makers,” and at nitpickers in a world of normalized mass shootings on “Quit Your Whining.”
But mostly “Sundown Rising” preaches that love transcends all. One highlight, the gospel-tinged “Hope in Love,” reminds us that love ‘Is what we live for/Is what we die for/Is what we give for.’ The driving, rhythmic blues cut “Loving for Love’s Sake” argues that love is a core value, ‘If you’re living in hell hate/You’re not loving for loves sake.’ And the gorgeous ballad “The Door” offers hope with ‘Get out and go wipe off the tears/The clock is ticking fast In years/The door is open today it’s time/Listen hard and keep on dreaming.’

This is more of a solo venture from the 'Strange Brew' front man. Keith's career as a musician began in the late '70's, attracting considerable attention from fans of Blues/Rock. In the following years he continued to tour in Germany, Holland, Norway and Denmark as well as the UK. Keith has never been one for blatant commercialism and has always stuck to what he believes, whether popular or not. Musically he has taken in many styles but, as is evident on this album, he always comes back to the blues as the root of his work. His songs are often personal, like a musical diary. Today he is busier than ever touring in Europe with his band 'Strange Brew', writing songs for other artists and doing studio guitar sessions.

Guitarist Steve Gerard masterminded the making of "New Sounds from Kansas City" with some of the area's best players. The material is original with a local flavor, along with gems from T-Bone and BB.
The NATIONAL DEBONAIRES are: STEVE GERARD on guitar; DAVE "ELMO" BAILEY on vocals; ANDY GRAFFITI on drums; PATRICK RECOB on bass; MIKE "SHINETOP JR" SEDOVIC on piano and organ; And their very special guests on "NEW SOUNDS FROM KANSAS CITY" include: LEE MCBEE on harmonica; DOUG "SARGE" RYNACK on piano; JIMI BOTT on drums; MIKE CLARK on sax.
"LET'S RUN", the opening track referred to earlier, starts out with a hot piano and guitar lead, by DAVE, backed by the rhythm section setting the pace that immediately had me snappin' and tappin' my fingers and feet. Then, ELMO started singing and what was already good, just got better.
The very same groove continues right into "MY BABY'S GONE", with MIKE adding some great sax highlights. Meanwhile, ELMO continues to blow me away on vocals. I think it may be due to the fact that his voice and style are so much reminiscent of the late "Barkin" Bill Smith, one of my all time favorites blues vocalists.
"CLEAR VIEW", is another of several STEVE GERARD originals. It's a smoker with that rockin' "Johnny B. Goode" thing happening on guitar and that wailin' "Great Balls of Fire" thing going on the piano. One of the discs best right here.
ANDY, PATRICK and MIKE are on fire on "WRAPPED AROUND HER FINGER". The pace they set on drums, bass and piano absolutely rips. This one will definitely delight the dancers.
One of ANDY'S originals, "ROCKING FOOL", has such a great, line in it. It goes like this... "I had a job pumping gas, I just had to quit it.... I tried to tell the boss, but he just didn't get it.... When the radio was rockin', I just had to stop... You can't check the oil when you're doin' the bop". Damn could I relate to that. In many a review, I've mentioned not being able to type due to excessive bopping. Some of the discs best guitar work can be heard on this one.
One of the more serious blues tracks is "AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN", written by STEVE GERARD. This is the kind of stuff that gets my blues boat floatin'. ELMO'S super soulful vocals sent chills right through me. Damn, who is this guy and why have I not heard of him before? Also highlighting this one is some great blues guitar work by STEVE and lots of masterful mood setting organ by MIKE. Unquestionably this listeners favorite track.
The closing track, "THE HUSTLE IS ON", is the one that features all of the special guests with MIKE'S tenor sax being the highlight.

He was born Andrew Jones in Dallas, Texas, United States. The son of a big band singer, Jones acquired his moniker from his grandmother. Jones learned to play the guitar at a young age, and he joined Freddie King's backing band, the Thunderbirds, at the age of seventeen and toured with them for a couple of years.
In 1967, Jones became part of Bobby Patterson's backing band, the Mustangs,playing on a number of Patterson's single releases.
By the early 1970s, Jones had regular work in Dallas backing many musicians, plus he was tutored further in his guitar playing by Cornell Dupree.
In 1973, Jones re-joined King's backing ensemble, and played with him until King died in 1976.
The latter part of the decade saw Jones create a soul group known as the Creators, who signed a recording contract with RCA Records.
Penned by Jones, their 1979 single, "Blame It on Me", was more successful on the Northern soul circuit in the UK than in his home country.
He worked locally in the early 1980s, primarily backing R.L. Griffin and Hal Harris, before finding regular work with Johnnie Taylor until 1985.
In late 1987, he went to California joining Bobby Bland's drummer, Tony Coleman, and B.B. King's bassist, Russell Jackson, and played as the Silent Partners, who backed Katie Webster both in concert and on her Swamp Boogie Queen (1988) album.
The trio became session musicians working with Charlie Musselwhite, with whom Jones remained until 1996. Jones toured the world in this period, and played on three Musselwhite albums; Ace of Harps (1990), Signature (1991), and In My Time (1993).
In 1997, Jones issued his debut solo album, I Need Time, via JSP Records. This was followed the year after by Watch What You Say (Rounder Records), although that label association soon finished.
However, following Watch What You Say's release, Jones was nominated for a Blues Music Award for 'Best New Blues Artist'.
 "I’d have to say that I’ve been close to certain things all my life. Been right there [where the action was]. Maybe, there have been some bad decisions on my part. Maybe, I haven’t sucked up enough or to the right people.
