Hailing from the home state of the blues, Mississippi, in a day of midi synths, electronic music, backing tracks and auto tune. The Chitlins take a back to the basics approach to their brand of music. The recipe? Do not add artificial ingredients. Start with a few pounds of raw, bluesy guitar riffs and a tight rhythm section. Then add in a pinch of edgy lead guitar solos. Throw in a generous portion of genuinely killer vocals, with catchy lyrics then add smooth harmonies to taste. Keep it rather simple. Make it easy, fun to play and fun to hear. Then serve it up piping hot! We call it, southern fried boogie blues. “Come get you some”, as we say down here in the south. The Chilins are fronted by the powerful yet soulful, vocal talent of Scott Henry. A seasoned stage veteran as well as an actual US war veteran. Scott’s unique vocal ability is matched only by his song writing and unique farm boy, biker, southern gentleman personality . His voice and presence attract immediate attention. Next is guitarist extraordinaire Bucky Cole. Son of legendary guitarist and rockabilly music hall of famer , Lee Cole. Lets just say the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. As you can imagine Bucky started young and has spent many years shredding guitars in venues from Nashville to Nantucket.
On bass is Jay Patricks. Having worn many hats in the music biz as a bass player, lead singer, song writer, studio engineer/producer, FOH engineer and tour manager Jay helps bring out the best of what The Chitlins have to offer. The Backbone of the band on the drums is David Green. No stranger to the stage David’s years playing hard rock and heavy metal bring a certain drive to the Chitlins style. His hard hitting live performance is a show all in itself. Sweetening up the vibe with the harmony vocals we have Morgan Henry and Miss Mary Jackson.
All members of The Chitlins reside, record and rehearse in beautiful Gulfport Mississippi.

Mark Staford belongs to the intermediate generation of Canadian singers and harmonica players who bet for an original personal jump-blues but, at the same time, do never forget fifties rhythm & blues roots identity Mark’s experience comes from twenty years ago and this becomes evident in the way he plays and sings the blues with great knowledge, passion and devotion All songs included on the cd are really amazing and the backing band gives a swingin’ performing Mark Stafford’s harmonica playing is greatly influenced by different great masters and musical schools specially Little Walter, James Cotton and Kim Wilson who he admires and worships but he also has influences of other important harp players such as William Clarke, Rod Piazza or Sonny Boy Williamson This cd is especially devoted to traditional classic harmonica lovers and fourties and fifties West Coast blues fans. Mark bird Stafford is a talented harpist with a Capitol T-Tone. With a revolving cast of Toronto- area musicians, he's put together a solid effort in Harpspace (Lily Jean 003). While the overall vibe relaxed, there's plenty of power from the rhythm section. Johnny "Guitar" Watson's rocking "Gangster of Love" get prime treatment, while Stafford's own "Follow My Heart" is a first - class crawler. This guy cooks. 8 originals - 4 covers.

An album from vocalist and guitarist Gail Mojo Muldrow, one of the most important artists in the catalog of the Italian agency run by Tano Rho. On Peace of Mind, the artist returns with her signature house-rock-blues sound, with a healthy dose of funk. Muldrow has gradually become more confident and successful in her work, and her energy has also increased. The main characteristic is the fiery and vibrant guitar solos that the artist demonstrates, based on fast and juicy riffs. Peace of Mind is dominated by Chicago blues, shuffles, and slow blues, with fresh, modern, and pleasant harmonica work from the always recommended Andy Just and excellent guitar work from Gail and Tiziano Galli. The rhythm section works harmoniously and effectively on each of the album's ten songs. In short, Gail Muldrow puts her heart and soul into this album, demonstrating not only interesting vocal qualities: a deep, energetic and powerful voice.

Blending the regional blues style of his native St. Louis with strains of gritty Southern rock and country, Jeremiah Johnson cut his teeth on the Gulf Coast blues circuit before returning to Missouri and launching a successful career in the 2010s. He established himself with a series of independent albums and signed with German blues specialists Ruf Records, which released highlights like 2018's Straitjacket and 2020's chart-topping Heaven to Betsy. Johnson returned in 2022 with the crafty Hi-Fi Drive By. Named by his father after the titular character in the 1972 Robert Redford western, Johnson began playing at a young age, studying jazz during his college years, then playing in a number of rock bands. He migrated to blues music while living in Texas' Gulf Coast region, and in the mid-2000s took home first place in the Houston Blues Society Regional Blues Challenge for three years in a row. By the end of the decade, he'd returned home to St. Louis and formed the Jeremiah Johnson Band. Combining his love of electric blues with the St. Louis sound, he folded in elements from his rock years along with jazz and country influences, releasing a pair of independent albums, 9th & Russell (2010) and Brand Spank'n Blue (2011), backed by regional horn section the Sliders. His career received a boost in 2014 when Australian filmmaker Gary Glenn made Johnson the subject of his documentary Ride the Blues, which featured a live concert and a series of interview segments about Johnson's career trajectory. It set the table for his first solo release, Grind, which arrived the following year and was produced by Devon Allman, son of guitar legend Gregg Allman. In addition to receiving heavy airplay, the album hit number eight on Billboard's Blues chart. Working again with his backing band, his 2016 release Blues Heart Attack fared even better, reaching number five on the same chart and featuring a wider array of his different musical styles. Johnson signed with Germany's Ruf Records in 2018 and worked with fellow St. Louis bluesman Mike Zito to record his next release, Straitjacket, before touring Europe the following year. In early 2020, Johnson hit a new career peak when his album Heaven to Betsy topped the Billboard Blues chart. After his European support tour was cancelled due to the global pandemic, he quickly returned to the studio and recorded the lean back-to-basics set Unemployed Highly Annoyed which came out in October of that year. 2022's Hi-Fi Drive By continued Johnson's streak of quality releases and featured guests like pianist Victor Wainwright and harmonica player Brandon Santini. ~ Timothy Monger/

"Night Owl offers a program of well-played, entertaining music that ranges from soul and funk to New Orleans R&B..."
Established in 1990, the Mambo Brothers have carved a comfortable niche in the contemporary music scene by producing their own distinctive style that blends a variety of musical genres. The group's mix of blues, pop, and jazz provides their unique and unforgettable sound, brimming with authentic New Orleans flavor. Founder, leader, lead vocalist, and harmonica player Dennis 'Doc' Booth has kept the band going strong from the very beginning. The Mambo Brothers performed regularly at Peter's La Cuisine, a four-star restaurant in Fort Myers, where for over a decade they played to standing-room-only audiences. A local and regional following was established, solidified and fortified by mutual enthusiasm, loyalty, and lasting affection between them and their audiences. The durability and dedication of this bond is healthy and alive today. The band has opened for Dr. John in Orlando and headlined at one of Florida's oldest and most revered nightclubs, Tobacco Road in Miami. Their tour venues include The House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, SC; Walter Payton's Road House in Aurora, IL; The Gasparilla Festival in Tampa, FL; several Taste of the Towns events in Lee and Collier County; eight consecutive performances at the Miromar Outlets Third of July Celebration in Estero, Florida; a St. Patrick's Day celebration at Rookie's Bar outdoor venue; and has performed for the annual Cisco Food Convention at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, FL for six consecutive years, as well as numerous appearances at the Round House in Put-In-Bay, OH. The enduring nature of the Mambo Brothers' successful run obviously includes many more venues than those listed, but I think you get the idea.

Big Fat Mama’s became Mama’s Pit in 1997, with singer Barbara Vulso as frontwoman. The band made their live debut at the Nacaro Blues and Castle San Piero Festival in Rome. Without wishing to diminish the contributions of the other band members, the Italian group's trump cards are the aforementioned singer Barbara Vulso and guitarist Alessio Menconi, who has been associated with Billy Cobham, Gary Husband, Danny Gottlieb, and Paole Conti. Mama’s Pit's keyboardist was Federico Basso, the bass was played by Danilo Parodi, and the drummer was Salvatore Cammilleri (also known for his work with Zucchero and Eros Ramazzotti)."Rush Hour," with well over two hours of playing time spread across two discs, offers a heaping dose of blues/blues rock.The first CD contains sixteen tracks, featuring the Mama’s Pit quartet alongside saxophonist James Thompson, Harper Johnny Mars, and Scott Finch.The fourteen songs on the second CD are live recordings, with Vic Vergeat guesting on the last two tracks. After the short "Barker’s Voice," the Mama’s Pit composition "Mister Evil" kicks things off with a bang. The 12-bar blues forms the basis for a sometimes jazzy atmosphere, largely thanks to saxophonist James Thompson. His instrument sounds at times like an entire brass section, and after Federico Basso's virtuosic Hammond solo, he also gets a solo in the opening track. A fantastic start! "Living In The Ghetto" is pure funk. The listener is captivated by Barbara Vulso's powerful voice, which comes across as so confident and authentic. Like pearls on a string, solos from the keyboardist and Alessio Menconi follow one another. Brilliant! Goosebumps, anyone? Here you go… "Mercedes Benz" sung a cappella by Barbara Vulso. This number creates the atmosphere as if the artist were singing on a street corner. A highlight! Almost as a transition to the second disc, a live recording of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" is included. With its guitar-driven interpretation, you immediately want to know what goes on at Mama's Pit live. However, the two songs featuring Scott Finch shouldn't be overlooked. "What Should I Do" practically glides along. Sure, the guest guitarist is featured here, but once again you're captivated by Barbara Vulso's vocals, which effortlessly rival those of Janis Joplin. B.B. King's "Rock Me Baby" marks the end of CD1 with another highlight, as the strings have been strung on acoustic guitars for this track, and the vocals are delivered with plenty of groove. Fantastic! While the studio album featured original compositions, the live album is all about creating a great atmosphere by delving into the history of the blues. Songs by artists such as Willie Dixon, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Aretha Franklin, and Albert Collins are on the setlist.The live section kicks off in grand style with the feel-good classic "Let The Good Times Roll." Guitarist Alessio Manconi already lets loose with his guitar, and the band pumps another hefty dose of blues into the veins of "Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind," composed by Chris Youlden (ex-Savoy Brown singer). Brilliant! Over a rolling, groovy "Down Home Blues," Mama's Pit transforms "Hoochie Coochie Man" into "Hoochie Coochie Woman," and alongside the fuzzy six-string runs, you can see how Barbara Vulso lives and breathes this piece of blues, singing from the heart and thus embodying the genre. Heavenly! The audience showers her with applause, and the impressive solos just keep coming. With the switch to piano, "Dr. Feelgood" becomes a captivating ballad, in which the frontwoman is accompanied solely by Federico Basso. Goosebumps! "Scuttle Buttin'" is characterized by hard-hitting rock 'n' roll, with Alessio Menconi at the helm for almost the entire performance. "The Sky Is Crying" is a slow blues of a special kind. "Night Time Is The Right Time" offers a groove for dancing, and the excellent quintet takes their time with the following two tracks. Mama’s Pit shifts gears with ease in the blues, and here too, it’s the slow execution of the twelve-bar blues that has a magnetic effect. On “Born In Chicago,” the clapping audience becomes the extended rhythm section, and the final song, “Baby I Love You,” could be adapted as a high praise for the album: Baby I Love “Rush Hour.” Released in 2002 in a kind of mediabook package with a booklet glued in the middle this double CD still carries an official blues seal of approval even after so many years.

Thomas Herman Ridgley: American R&B singer and bandleader based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Born Shrewesbury, Louisiana, 30 October 1925, died New Orleans, 11 August 1999.The veteran New Orleans singer remains a contemporary force to be reckoned with. Guitarist Snooks Eaglin, bassist George Porter, Jr., and saxist Kaz Kazanoff help Ridgley out on what's easily his finest contemporary release. There are a handful of remakes of his earlier triumphs, but for the most part, he is commendably living in the present, incorporating funk-tinged rhythms into his delectable musical gumbo.
