Backyard Blues finds Roosevelt Hoover III blending soul, jazz, and funk into a warm, groove-driven album. Rooted in tradition and strong arrangements, it delivers a sincere, polished sound, even if it leans more on familiarity than innovation.
Roosevelt Hoover III grew up surrounded by music, with his father’s band rehearsing in the family living room on weeknights. At just five years old, he asked to learn piano and was told, “If you can whistle it, you can play it.” Taking that advice literally, he began playing by ear — a skill that still shapes his musical style today. He later added trumpet to his repertoire in elementary school and eventually switched to organ when his father did. By junior high, Roosevelt was already performing as the keyboardist for the Top 40 R&B band Shades of Soul, staying busy with live shows throughout high school.
After graduating, Roosevelt served in the U.S. Air Force, stepping away from music for a time. Once back in civilian life, he moved to San Jose and returned to the stage, playing with a variety of bands and collaborating across genres. Along the way, music remained a family affair, with garage-band sessions that eventually included two of his three children. This recording honors some of those moments — music made for the love of playing, connection, and good company.
“I dedicate this CD to my son, every note I play is for you. Love and thanks to my father who inspired me to follow his musical footsteps.
To all the musicians who contributed, I give sincere thanks and respect for helping me realize my dream of recording the music I grew up with and love, your combined musical mastery elevated every song.”
~  Roosevelt (Duke)

He has developed his own style over decades, combining traditional blues playing with elements from other genres. Thus he creates a modern sound that can be seen as a bridge from the blues roots into the modern age. He has participated in many sessions as a studio musician, is a welcome guest on stages on every continent, and is a figurehead on this instrument. In addition to his work with the blues harmonica, Steve Baker is also a multiple book author, leader of harmonica seminars, worldwide ambassador for Hohner (founded by Matthias Hohner in Trossingen in 1857) and works tirelessly for his harmonica mission from his home near Hamburg.

Dutch Tilders (29 August 1941 – 23 April 2011) was a Netherlands-born Australian blues singer-songwriter and guitarist where he was dubbed the “Godfather Of Blues”.  Born Mattheus Frederikus Wilhelmus Tilders in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, Dutch emigrated to Australia with his parents, four brothers and a sister in 1955. At the age of ten, he was a member of a church choir, but by the time he was twelve, his alto voice broke. No more singing for the boy with the baritone voice. When he was thirteen, he joined a boys choir at a secondary school fooling the choir master into believing he was an alto by singing falsetto. He could still produce those high-pitched notes until his final days. His first year in Australia was spent in the Brooklyn Migrant Hostel where his first experience as a performer was in an amateur Black and White Minstrel Show. His very first paid gig, when just fifteen, was at the Collingwood Town Hall where he played the harmonica. On the same bill were Joff Allen and Johnny O’Keefe. Dutch was paid two pounds seven and sixpence, which at the time he was getting for half a weeks wages at Broons timber yard in Brooklyn. It only cost two pounds and sixpence for the taxi home.  He bought his first guitar in 1959 and by 1960 he was playing in the trendy coffee lounges of that time. Making up most of the songs as he went along, he found the blues was exactly the music in which to express his feelings. With no one to teach him, he developed his own style that remains unique to himself. During the mid-to-late 1960s Tilders performed less frequently. In September 1970, Tilders appeared on TV talent show New Faces and was signed by one of the judges, Ron Tudor, to his Bootleg Records label Dutch made his first self-titled album in 1972 and it was released one year later. His collaborators were Brian Cadd, Phil Manning, Barry Sullivan, Barry Harvey, Laurie Prior and Broderick Smith. In 1975 he started recording for an independent label, Eureka and consequently recorded two direct to disc records with greats Jimmy Conway and Kevin Borich. During the seventies, Dutch fronted such Blues and Boogie bands as the Elks, the Cyril ‘B’ Bunter Band and Mickey Finn. In 1980 he formed the ‘R&B Six’, a band that included Charley Elul (drums), Peter Frazer (sax), Suzanne Petersen (flute and vocals), Mick Eliot (guitar) and Dave Murray (bass and vocals). This band toured Australia extensively.    
In the meantime, Dutch also worked solo and toured England with John Mayall, Taj Mahal, Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry. Returning to Australia, his next album was a joint work with Margaret Roadnight, Australian Jazz of the 70s Vol. 5 The Blues Singers. Most of his tracks on this album were his own originals. This was followed by Break, recorded with musicians from The Foreday Riders and Company Caine. He went on to release a further 12 LPs and three singles. In 1976, according to legend, B.B. King first heard Dutch from backstage and, from the quality of the performance, expected to see a black bluesman. Brownie and Dutch became best mates simply because Brownie believed that the Dutchman was a genuine bluesman, regardless of his racial origins and for some time did a number of combined tours. 
In 1981 Dutch even opened for Billy Connolly! In Australia, he fronted the Cyril B Bunter Band, which has recently re-formed, and also The Elks and Mickey Finn. He played with Jim Conway from Captain Matchbox, Kevin Borich and the Express. He had a long-time backing band, The Blues Club, which included Martin Cooper, Winston Galea, Geoff Achison and Barry Hills. After The Blues Club, he formed The Holey Soles with Ian Clarke, Anthony Harkin and Greg Dodd. In fact, it’s probably easier to list the major Australian blues artists that he hasn’t performed with – and that’s probably because they were still at school! 
During the latter days of his life he mainly performed as a solo artist and/or with his last band called The Legends Band, though he did enjoy getting together with Geoff Achison doing amazing duo chops. Ranking among his favourite guitarists were: Geoff Achison, Kevin Borich and the Emmanuel brothers. In his long career, Dutch won numerous awards (most notedly for his performances with his band, ‘The Blues Club’) recognizing his contribution to the Blues Music Scene. In 2010 his manager announced he had been diagnosed with cancer and a benefit concert was held to help with his treatment costs. He retired from performing in January 2011 due to the illness and ongoing treatment.  On 23 April 2011 Matthew “Dutch” Tilders died, aged 69  (Edited from Wikipedia & his own website).

The album's You Tube stream says “deeply rooted in emotional storytelling, heavy guitar grooves, and soulful vocal deliveries, Where the Hurt Lives takes you on a journey through heartbreak, resilience, and survival”.
Listeners have identified elements of BB King, classic Stax and Memphis country-soul, peak Motown and Curtis Mayfield in Rivers' sound. 
These songs have touched hearts: this single Step by Step in Time has notched up more than three million Spotify plays.
Impressive for a man unknown just two months ago.
And there's a reason: Benny Rivers DOENSN'T EXIST !
Benny, the album, the photo and the Facebook video of him singing What Pain Has Taught Me are

He is fake news, a confection of algorithms.

The combined band member’s stories, past and present, are proof that the experience of trauma, no matter how great, can be alleviated—and perhaps even eliminated—by the healing chords of music.
The group, originally the VA Homefront Band, has been popular in the world of Veteran’s Affairs for years. As part of The Creative Arts Therapies Program, which began at the West Haven VA in 1986, the group, under both its original and new name, has won a total of 12 gold, silver and bronze medals. At the prestigious National Creative Arts Competition, they garnered a first place, for their performance of “Let Them In” (https://www.ptsd-band.com/band).

The Name Droppers are a tightly knit quartet of veteran New England musicians who have traveled a long and winding road in shaping their multiple talents into a high-octane blend of blues, R&B, soul, and good old-fashioned rock ‘n’ roll. The group came together in the 1980s as Charlie Karp and the Name Droppers, with the Connecticut-based Karp being a seasoned guitarist, a prolific songwriter, and an Emmy-winning producer. After Karp’s passing in 2019, the remaining Name Droppers stuck together: songwriter/guitarist Rafe Klein; pianist Ron Rifkin; bassist Scott Spray; and drummer Bobby “T” Torello.
Scott Spray was Johnny Winter’s longest-running bass player; his bass work on Winter’s final album, Step Back, earned him a Grammy for Best Blues Album in 2015. Torello was the former drummer for Winter; he has also toured with Michael Bolton, Grace Slick, Black Oak Arkansas, and the Jay Willie Blues Band. Torello was inducted into both the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame and the New England Music Hall of Fame. Rafe Klein is a songwriter and guitarist who played alongside blues legend Karp and co-wrote many of the songs on Karp’s last album, Back to You (Red Parlor Records). He played on all five of the Name Droppers’ previous albums. Ron Rifkin is a keyboard powerhouse who has played on numerous sessions alongside Karp, both live and in the studio. His unique style and distinctive voice put him in high demand as a session player. Gospel singer Simone Brown is the background vocalist on the Name Droppers’ last two albums, 2024’s Starshine and 2025’s Cool Blue Shoes. Special guest Crispin Cioe (the Uptown Horns) plays saxophone on five tracks. Let’s Live Together, the Name Droppers’ sixth recording overall, is an energetic session of smartly crafted originals and creative covers. The album is produced by Vic Steffens. Everything kicks off with guitarist Klein’s whimsical “Grey Haired Blues,” as Klein sings, “Yeah, it’s true my roof is covered in snow, don’t be fooled, there’s a fire below,” with some great piano from Rifkin as he solos. On the topical title track, “Let’s Live Together,” also written and sung by Klein, he chimes, “Lately we’ve seen a lot of sadness in the news, each Monday morning we wake up with the blues, have to find a way where we can do better…let’s live together.” Klein’s soulful vocal partners magically with Cioe’s soaring sax and Brown’s backing vocal. On “Heartbreak City,” written and sung by keyboardist Ron Rifkin, he chants, “Don’t know what you’re looking for, don’t look back, cause it ain’t here no more,” with a guitar solo from Klein. Brown steps into the center-stage spotlight for a smoking reworking of Aretha Franklin’s classic “Chain of Fools,” written by Don Covay and recorded by Aretha in 1967: “For five long years, I thought you were my man, but I found out, I’m just a link in your chain. Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools,” as Spray lays down a strong bassline.
On “Gotta Serve Somebody,” the Bob Dylan classic first recorded in 1979, Klein takes the lead as he cries, “You may be an ambassador to England or France, you may like to gamble, you might like to dance, you may be the heavyweight champion of the world, you may be a socialite with a long string of pearls, but your gonna have to serve somebody…” The song is propelled by Rifkin’s churning Hammond organ, with a backing vocal from Brown. 
“Don’t Cry Over Me” was written by Frank Durazzo and first released in 2022. The lead vocal is sung by guitarist Klein, as he belts, “You always wonder how I get along with out you…you see the picture from a different view than me, I see the picture the way my love has to be…don’t cry over me.” Once again, Rifkin is on the B-3 while sharing the backing vocal with Brown, guitarist Tim Dehuff, and saxophonist Cioe.
The band revisits two tracks from their Charlie Karp years: the salaciously sexy “Talk Dirty,” written by Charlie Karp, David Hull, and Arthur Resnick in 1987, as guitarist Klein demands, “hold me tight, talk dirty”; and “Love Lightnin’,” written by Karp, Klein, and Bruce Carter, with the lyric, “Even Lightning love runs thin when the money runs out, they say it don’t strike twice, but I wish it happens to me,” as Rifkin switches between organ and piano.
“Watch Pocket,” written by Torello, features special guest Jay Willie on slide guitar as Torello howls, “Baby since you’ve been gone, there’s a hole in my watch pocket, time keeps slipping away…I’ll get you back some way,” again with Rifkin on piano. The closer is “Mannish Boy,” written by Muddy Waters (McKinley Morganfield), Elias McDaniel (Bo Diddley), and record producer Mel London. Klein croons, “Everything gonna be alright this morning,” and Richard Hunter is featured on harmonica.
The Name Droppers have given us another great album, Let’s Live Together, as hopefully we “find a way where we can do better.” The Name Droppers seem to have found the way  ~  Richard Ludmerer/

Drums, Percussion, Singer - Jazz, Blues - Rockingham (Halifax), Nova Scotia, Canada Jan.22, 1953 - July 5, 2016.
What do you get when you mix Nova Scotia fog with Mississippi mud, California boogie and British Blues? You get the Electric Blues sound of Geoff Jardine's debut album.A varied album with different styles of blues, from house rockin' to roadhouse blues, passing through rock-boogie and some funky-blues. The rhythmic patterns are simple, uncomplicated, but at the same time solid, effective, and well-executed, based on slows, funks, grooves, and shuffles. It is in all of these that our protagonist, drummer and singer Geoff Jardine, showcases his refined drumming technique and his excellent command of tempos, which he displays and perfectly balances. Geoff Jardine is accompanied by bass, guitar, harmonica, and keyboards to complete this Once Was A Big Man, which contains four covers (Nick Gravenites, Elmore James, John Mayall, etc.) and eight originals, two by Geoff himself and the remaining six by bassist Paul McNeill. An album that has pleasantly surprised me with the control and instrumental mastery of these powerfully effective musicians, who are also perfect connoisseurs of the genre they perform.

Some bands make good music and some have a mission. A band called PTSD does both: they perform music that rocks while, at the same time, heals themselves. They released their first ever studio-recorded album in 2021. 
The combined band member’s stories, past and present, are proof that the experience of trauma, no matter how great, can be alleviated—and perhaps even eliminated—by the healing chords of music.
The group, originally the VA Homefront Band, has been popular in the world of Veteran’s Affairs for years. As part of The Creative Arts Therapies Program, which began at the West Haven VA in 1986, the group, under both its original and new name, has won a total of 12 gold, silver and bronze medals. At the prestigious National Creative Arts Competition, they garnered a first place, for their performance of “Let Them In” (https://www.ptsd-band.com/band).
