Keyboard/vocalist Bill Heid has performed throughout the U.S., Canada, South America, Europe, and the Far East, including a three year stay in Japan. Perhaps the nuttiest guy on the planet, but Bill treats piano-playing as no joke. This guy is unbelievable and plays a B-3 like Larry Young and Don Patterson, killer left-hand & foot. Piano like Oscar Peterson, McCoy Tyner, Otis Spann & Gene Harris, not to mention total commitment to "cool." Here, Bill attempts to cover all the blues types he loved as a kid. The pure, clean, yet down and dirty guitar sounds of Johnny Basset and the sensuously muted trumpet of Dwight Adams help to propel this good-time disc to the land of great CDs. ---Editorial Reviews, dwmmusic.com

10. The After Party Jam - 2:59

When listening to the album “Jook Joint Jam” by Brother Yusef, The Fattback Bluesman, it is just you, Brother Yusef, and the blues. Put your ears onto this album with its stripped-down “one-man band” acoustic sound which some consider to be the nucleus of the blues. “Jook Joint Jam” is ten tracks of original blues, all skillfully styled by Brother Yusef as if he were straddling the century-wide chasm of blues past and blues present. A welcome addition to BluesMusicFan’s Top 20 Blues Albums of 2019.
Brother Yusef’s music is exuberant, bouncing with a highly rhythmic beat and slippery with a wildly flailing slide; this Bakersfield born, dreadlocked bluesman chugs and stomps the blues with impassioned devotion. By combining "traditional" finger picking and slide guitar with the contemporary feel of urban blues, Brother Yusef gives the past and present equal rights on stage. A stand-out talent.

Big riffs, harmony vocals, and finger-lickin good melodies. This be Big Jim Slade. Believe it or not, all four members of Big Jim Slade have known each other since before they could sprout a whisker.
Chris and Clay grew up together in Paducah, KY cruising in Clay's Camaro, listening to KISS, Cheap Trick, Rush, and all things rock, while making their own in the garage. Meanwhile, Rob and Jon were 20 minutes down the road in Benton, KY watching "Live at El Mocambo" most every night, blasting Metallica cassettes in the Cutlass, and playing Hendrix and Zeppelin covers in the basement.
All four knew each other, and also knew that Western Kentucky wasnt exactly a hotbed for original rock music at the time, so all four eventually landed in Nashville, TN and created Big Jim Slade in 1997.
Since then, Big Jim Slade has released four albums; Plant Life in 1998 (OUT OF PRINT)(GOKAW), Big Jim Slade (GOKAW) in 2000, Pacify The Herd (Bitter Artist) in 2002, and "This is delicious."(GOKAW) in 2008.
Along the way, the band has played hundreds of shows, won a Citysearch.com Battle of the Bands, an Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands, performed at shindigs like SXSW, Atlantis, Bonnaroo (2008 w/EARS), the Vans Warped Tour, and were a featured artist on a MP3.com/Heineken Compilation CD (250,000 copies distributed in U.S.), etc.
Big Jim Slade was also the host/backing band of the popular Live Band Karaoke show at Mercy Lounge in Nashville, TN, called "Everybody's a Rockstar" (aka EARS) from 2004-2008.
Big Jim Slade has shared bills with artists such as Raging Slab, King's X, Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise, OkGo, Kevin Kinney, Nonpoint, Impotent Sea Snakes, Bare Jr., Drive-By Truckers, Bonepony, Hermano, Taildragger, Supafuzz, Deathray Davies, Centromatic, and many more.

13. The Don't Let Nobody Turn You 'Round; I Rememberound - 5:05

With all due respect to Stevie Ray Vaughan, it’s awfully good to hear another band tackle Howlin’ Wolf’s “Commit a Crime” so recklessly. The most encouraging aspect of blues-rooted bands like Big Foot Chester (or Jon Spencer or even the Cramps, knowwutImean) is that these not-so-young bands have the kind of lowdown and dirty teenage disregard for convention that makes their music pump and pulse with life – the same kind of life that filled “Commit a Crime” with such passion and fervor originally. Which makes Tabernaclin’ a more than appropriate title for these 14 songs that testify as much for Leadbelly (“Keep Your Hands Off Her”), Hank Williams (“Since My Sweet Love Ain’t Around”), and the Misfits (“Hollywood Babylon”) as it swears by originals (guitarist Davy Jones’ “The Creeper,” Chris Gates and Bill Anderson’s “My Biggest Mistake”). Throughout, BFC rattle, thrash, and wail out blues so wicked and throbbing that when these guys play Stubb’s, they should raise the ghost of the old One Knite’s coffin-shaped door. Why doesn’t this band have a regular night at Antone’s? If Muddy Waters or Junior Wells were around to get a load of BFC, they’d go “huh?” and then be up onstage faster than Walter Daniels can change Hohner harmonicas. Tabernaclin’ is a big, sweaty, in-yer-face reminder that blues is no kind of music to be safe with ~ 4.0 Stars – Margaret Moser/

 9. Don't Give The Devil No Ground - 3:43
10. More Harm Than Good - 4:06

James & Lucky Peterson's If You Can't Fix It dropped in 2012 but feels way older-and that's a good thing. Raw blues, gritty soul, no frills. Just real talk with guitars. This ain't polished for radio. It's basement vibes with live energy, like you're standing two feet from the amp. And honestly? That's why it works. Lucky Peterson handles most of the heavy lifting-guitar, keys, vocals. Dude can play. His tone bites but doesn't overdo it. James Peterson (his dad) holds down rhythm, keeps things grounded. The chemistry? Feels lived-in. Like they've been doing this forever, because they basically have. Tracks like "Too Young to Die" and "Don't Give the Devil No Ground" hit hard-lyrically sharp, musically tight. There's pain here, but also defiance. Blues as therapy, not just background noise. "Get Down" is the standout. Over six minutes of funk-blues swagger. Bassline grooves, organ swirls, Lucky's voice raspy but controlled. You can't help but move. Then "Somewhere In-Between" slows it down-moody, reflective. Piano-driven, almost haunting. Shows range. Not just loud and fast. They know when to pull back. But yeah, not perfect. Some tracks bleed together. A few songs feel underdeveloped, like first takes that never got revisited. "More Harm Than Good" drags a bit. Could've used more variation in tempo or arrangement. And the production? Lo-fi on purpose, sure, but sometimes it borders on muddy. Vocals get buried. Guitar solos shine, but the mix doesn't always do them justice. Still, the imperfections kinda add to the charm. This isn't Pro Tools perfection. It's human. You hear breaths, string squeaks, foot taps. Makes it feel honest. The SACD format helps-richer sound if you've got the setup. Worth it for audiophiles who care about depth. Lyrically, it's classic blues territory: struggle, faith, temptation, survival. Nothing groundbreaking, but delivered with weight. Lucky's voice carries history, even when the words are simple. "If You Can't Fix It" as a title track? Straightforward. Almost a shrug. Like, some things break beyond repair-so you play through it. One thing that stuck with me: the album's quiet confidence. No guest stars, no hype. Just two musicians doing what they know. No need to prove anything. That's rare now. Everyone's chasing trends. These guys don't care. They've seen trends come and go. Funny how an album from 2012 sounds more authentic than most "retro" blues records today. Maybe because it's not trying to be anything. It just is. And that's enough.

Backsliders 2011 ARIA Blues and Roots nominees and I-Tunes Australian Blues and Roots album of the year winners, Backsliders have been playing, touring the festival  circuit. 
Slide Guitarist, multi-stringed instrumentalist, songwriter and vocalist, Dom Turner, is the founding member of the group. Dom’s influences are many and varied – a blend of delta blues, piedmont blues, rock, dub and sounds of Asia. He is a highly regarded speaker on blues and roots music and has guested on ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commission) radio programs and presented music workshops at festivals and in universities (both nationally and internationally). As well as playing in the Backsliders, Dom has toured as a solo artist in the USA, playing Augusta Blues week in West Virginia in 1996 and 1998, and in early 2006, he toured Mexico with US blues greats, Del Ray and Steve James. In 2004 Dom was voted Songwriter of the Year’ at the Australian Blues Awards in Goulburn, NSW and has a sculpture in recognition of this honour at the Goulburn Visitors Centre. 
Drum and percussion virtuoso and songwriter Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil), an acclaimed name synonymous with the best of Australian music, has been with Backsliders for 12 years. As a founding member spending 25 years in Midnight Oil, Rob’s work needs no explanation- he stands as one of the world’s great drummers - now drawing on his early jazz and swamp-rock influences to produce a sound that is integral to the Backsliders 21st century blues grooves. Rob’s achievements in the music industry are many and varied including In publishing his first work of prose on Pan McMillan – ‘Willies Bar & Grill’ telling the story of Midnight Oil’s USA & Canadian tour just after September 11.
Joining Dom and Rob are two of Australia’s most innovative and dynamic harmonica players; the legendary Brod Smith (Dingoes, Brod Smith’s Big Combo) and ARIA award winning harmonica genius Ian Collard (Collard, Greens & Gravy). The 2 blues-harp dynamos play alternate gigs, each blazing his own trail to the raw energy of the Backsliders sound. It’s a furious ride – with Dom Turner and Rob Hirst doing their thing, setting the grooves and taking no prisoners, and Ian and Brod (you never know who you will get) firing-up the amps to fuel the maelstrom.
These guys are renowned for captivating live shows - an eclectic mix of blues styles moving from driving delta blues riffs and jungle-like rhythms to ‘Piedmont’ blues influenced ‘all-acoustic’ unplugged treatments of 1920’s songs by blues heroes such as Mississippi Fred McDowell and Robert Johnson.
The achievements, success and reviews over the band’s 25+ years tell it all.

There isn’t a man in town with good sense who’d try to argue with Robert Palmer about chaos. “Chaos, chance, charm and luck are a primary Blues paradigm, of course, and a late-twentieth-century scientific paradigm as well. The Chaos Theory of post-relativity psychics tells us of Strange Attractors – inexplicable higher order functions that provide a kind of boundary or shape or structural dynamic for chaotic systems – and this fits R.L. as well. The essential character of R.L.’s is chaos-on-wheels; spreading sonic waves of sex and mayhem around our planet.”
R.L.’s a Strange Attractor. he’s a .999 fine. 24 karat. 180 proof. 100% pure-Higher-Order function. He’s what’s needed; and it’s about time. We need a man we can count on. count on to yell fire in a crowded theater, wave a pistol in a crowded juke.”He’s the Blues walking like a man: the living personification of a guitar moan and a back door slam.” R.L. doesn’t have time for any nonsense; his plate is full. So. close your eyes. put your arms in front of your face (if you still care) and prepare to be Burnsided into stark oblivion by A Ass Pocket Of Whiskey.”

The Blues Wire is a Greek blues band formed in 1983. Originally known as Blues Gang, the group released its debut album, *Dig It*, in 1984—the first blues album created by Greek musicians. In 1985, the band changed its name to  Blues Wire.ONGOING - this is an epic journey into the blues through yet another amazing release by the great Blues Wire! All the energy, the power, the melody, the true and sincere transmission of this colorful vibrant genre by a very important band, not only for the Greek but also for the wider European standards. Favorite track: NOBODY'S FAULT BUT MINE.
