By Peter "Blewzzman" Lauro © Nov 2025:-
"Pat Pepin and I go way back, and as with so many other of my blues friends we met in Memphis during the Blues Music Awards. It was around 2000 or shortly thereafter. At the time I was the Florida beat writer for Big City Blues Magazine and after seeing a stack of the magazines on the counter at Tater Reds on Beale Street, Red and I got into a long conversation. That's when Pat, who was standing nearby, introduced herself and joined the conversation, and that's all it took. As it turned out, Pat's mom lived in Okeechobee, Fl, which was about an hour from where I lived in Port St. Lucie. Over the years, during her many winter trips from Maine to visit her mom, Pat - and once in a while Mamma Pepin as well - were guests at the House of Blewzz. Although we don't see each other as much as we'd like to anymore, occasionally running into her at a blues event somewhere is always a pleasure. With all that said, it is now my pleasure to tell you about her fourth release.
What More Can I Do features fourteen tracks of which twelve are Pat Pepin originals. Having all of her other releases, I can honestly tell you that this disc contains some of her very best writing. Joining Pat - on lead vocals, sax, kazoo and spoons - are Steve Jones on guitar and backing vocals; Richard Hollis on drums and backing vocals; Scott Elliot on bass and backing vocals; and Bob Colwell on piano and backing vocals. Collectively, the band is affectionately known as The Boneheads.
On "Mother Nature Blues" it's Pat's belief that the "Fires and earthquakes; the oceans on the rise; the earth being dry and barren; the lightening that fills the skies; the heat waves and hurricanes; and cold to the extreme"; are just Mother Nature's way of scolding us for the way we've abused her with "The trash we put trash on the highways; the smoke we created that blocks the sun; the way we poisoned the water; did all that drilling and blasting"; and a whole lot more. Yep, Mother Nature indeed has a case of the blues. Musically, with the Boneheads in a cool shuffle groove behind her, Pat's sincere and heartfelt vocals do a good job of creating an awareness of the problems. Now, if we can only solve them!
The title track, "What More Can I Do" is a somber ballad on which Pat wears her heart on her sleeve. As the title indicates, Pat can't help but wonder if she's to blame for a heartbreaking breakup. With the band in a melancholic rhythm groove behind her, showcasing great range and lots of emotion, Pat shines on the vocals; and her sullen sax leads seem to magnify her pain. Very well done track.
Lyrically, vocally, and musically, "Don't Tie Me Down" is a swinger that's loaded with sass, humor and band banter. The up-tempo dance floor filler has Richard and Scott in a hot rhythm groove on the drums and bass respectively with Pat belting the hell out of some swinging sax leads.
"Little Things" and "Call Me Up" are two songs right out of a late forties - early fifties jazz lounge singer's songbook. Little Things features the band in that so cool jazz lounge rhythm groove being led by deep bass lines from Richard; and Call Me Up features more of the same with some smooth, jazzy guitar runs from Steve. Additionally, they both feature Pat sounding sassy and sultry on the vocals, and sax leads; and very cool backing vocals - reminiscent to songs of the era - from The Boneheads. Great two song segue. Now Pat's got me wanting to hear her do a whole album of stuff like this".

Peter Nande built his reputation as a bandleader backing artists like RJ Mischo, Lazy Lester and Gary Primich on their tours of his native Scandinavia. However he was to make a big impression on one of the artists he backed – a certain gentleman by the name of James Harman. Harman was so impressed by Nande’s singing and harp playing, he invited him to his home in Southern California, to record and produce an album for him – resulting in the gem under consideration here. Nande is a wonderful vocalist and harp player – and on this set he demonstrates it – paying tribute to his mentor (Icepick) in the best way possible with a set of great blues. As Harman says “pour yourself some mellow wine – kick on back and enjoy this mess to the fullest .. coz baby, this stuff goes down smooth” – and I won’t and don’t disagree with Icepick. Nande bought his own guitarist, Ronni Busack-Boysen, to the sessions, and was joined by, amongst others, Jr Watson, Harman alumni Nathan James on guitar, Carl Sonny Leyland on organ/piano, Buddy Clark on upright bass, and, of course the man himself – Harman.The set kicks off with “Cat Be-Gone”, a swinging instrumental that allows Nande to demonstrate his command of tone, phrasing and creativity over a “slap” rhythm. “Mover & Shaker” mines a mighty shuffle groove mixing elements of Memphis and Chicago in true Harman fashion – Nande’s moody vocals and harp echoed by some tough, shimmering, 50’s styled electric guitar and deep rolling piano. A real gem!.The rhythm section rack up a deep Delta groove on ‘Comin’ Home” – Nande’s brooding vocals and harp melding the influences of Harman and Rice Miller, the mood echoed by Boysen’s guitar and Leyland’s piano. “She’s Mad Again” finds Nande on his own – just vocals and harp – creating a lowdown gutbucket moan that mixes elements of Sonny Boy, Wolf, Sonny Terry and Harmonica Slim. A real tour-de-force. “Kiss Me Now features Harman on vocals backed by Nande’s superb harp, on a number that recalls Sonny Boy’s Storyville period – “Lucky Charm” has a strong Gene Vincent feel, with Leyland in magnificent form mixing elements of Jerry Lee Lewis and Memphis Slim, whilst Watson lays down some stunning rockabilly guitar in his own quirky fashion.
Nande is a major talent and I could enthuse endlessly over each and every track – all I can say is roll on volume 2 – and whilst you are waiting for it – do “The Big Boy Boogie”. ~ Mick Rainsford (Blues Matters)/

13. If It Ain't One Thing - 3:44
14. Gimme All Your Money - 3:15
15. Harpin' - 4:32

A groove-laden journey, 'Blues Approved' consists of 15 blues-drenched collaborations featuring front tier players who have jammed, played, and recorded with guitarist Pete and bassist Shane.
Pete and Shane collectively stepped up to the plate as designated hitters: Not content merely to add rhythmic flavor and exquisite guitar, they also harnessed and drove the entire venture, in terms of writing the music, producing the tracks, and managing the entire recording process at Shane's own Bass Line Studios.
A student of practically every major blues and jazz player out there, Pete's managed to distil a wide array of influences into a uniquely seamless and highly rhythmic heads-up style. As far as tone is concerned, other players would kill for what Schmidt has.
"Back Flip" kicks things off, and it's an instrumental tribute to T-Bone Walker in all but name. A couple of other instrumentals grace the recording, including. "P.T. Shuffle", a reverb-drenched B.B King-style swing number. "Harpin' is dreamily nostalgic, thanks to outstanding harp work from Dave Rotundo and Doctor Nick (Ouroumov), two mainstays on the robust Toronto blues circuit.
Chuck Jackson's (of Downchild Blues Band fame) grumpy yet relaxed vocals are quintessentially bluesy--and impossible to resist. Either "How Long" or "Blue Moon Blues" could fit into a Downchild best-of collection like bread on butter.
The shiniest pearl in the blues oyster is "Back On Top", featuring Ricky Day, a highly respected and polished veteran who can trace his career as far back as even Mel Brown. In the Robert Cray/Al Green mode, Day epitomizes style and taste, and he's also keenly attuned to the irony at the heart of a great blues song.
Mark "Bird" Stafford soars to the stratosphere via a cool swinging West Coast breeze on "I'll Get You Back", while abetted by some soaring boogie piano from Brown and the authoritatively crisp, assertive guitar work of Schmidt. Dave Rotundo kicks the boogie shaker "Get Lucky" into high gear.
The only track that never ignites is "Two Women", but harmonica maestro Jerome Godboo redeems himself on the poignant "Jessie". Chicago blues gets the royal treatment courtesy of Little Bobby (Chorney). A fine up-and-comer, Bobby holds court like a seasoned pro on "No Need To Be Alone", with Pete's axe glistening on the cutting edge, while calling up the best of Otis Rush, Magic Sam, and Buddy Guy. Bobby also gets to blow sweet harp on a greasy guitar-drenched romp, "If It Ain't One Thing".
Shane more than hold his own vocally, such as on "Gimme All Your Money on which he conveys a nice touch of menace on a lowdown dirty blues. He gets to sink his teeth into the devilishly clever "Vampire Woman, with lots of weird string bending from Schmidt adding to the tension. "Every Morning" features Shane on an outing with an urbane, almost jazzy polish to it, featuring in-the-pocket saxophone solos by way of Larry Bodner, plus mucho retro-cool keyboard stylings from Mel Brown.

 5. Blues For Toulouse - 4:36

Decades long commitment, respect and focus towards the art of blues music has seen Giles Robson build a dreamlike career. Hohner Harmonicas calls Giles Robson “One of the finest blues harmonica virtuosos in the world, an acclaimed master showman and singer”.
He’s the third only British blues artist after Eric Clapton and Peter Green to win a Memphis Blues Music Award and the only European or UK blues artist to appear on Chicago’s legendary Alligator Records, who describe him as a “Blues giant, absolute master of the form”.
He tours over fifteen countries a year and works with some of blues music’s most legendary figures. Ex Muddy Waters and Magic Slim guitarist and celebrated blues star John Primer says “When me and Giles play the blues we put hot sauce on it so you can feel it”. Emmy Award winning blues harmonica master Billy Branch calls Robson “a great Harmonica player in his own right”. Recorded whilst on tour in France, his wonderful  EP “Blues From The Road: VOL 1 – FRANCE” captures real blues magic as he teams up with guitar maestro Franck Goldwasser and legendary piano virtuoso Philippe LeJeune plus the added bonus of the country’s GO-TO rhythm section of Pascal Delmas on drums and Mig Toquereau on bass. Franck Goldwasser, a Paris born guitar prodigy created an acclaimed decades long career collaborating in the USA with some of the most notable names in blues from James Cotton, Jimmy McCracklin to Curtis Salgado and Charlie Musselwhite and was part of the award winning Mannish Boys plus and releases some highly admired albums of his own. Leading French pianist Philippe LeJeune was so admired by one of the greatest blues icons Memphis Slim, that Slim insisted on recording an album with him “Dialog In Boogie” in which LeJeune shared star billing. He has gone on to have a long and storied career headlining the leading festivals across the continent and releasing a steady stream of great albums. 
From the perfectly executed full band performances Too Hot For The Devil and Turnin’ & Burnin’ which are chock-full of groove and feeling, to the intimate, emotional, detailed duo performances of These Deep Blues and Blues For Toulouse to the wall of sound deep groove guitar and harmonica instrumental Stompin’ At Lolo’s Place it’s clear for all to hear the wonderful and very special depth of feeling, musical communication and knowledge of the blues that is present between Giles Robson and these stellar French musicians.That musical magic is now captured for the world to hear on “Blues From The Road: VOL1 – FRANCE”

Simon Campbell: 
Singer-songwriter, guitar player and music producer. A devotee of sweet sounds and beautifully crafted music: a British Blues Award nominee. Since strapping on his first guitar at the age of 16, Simon Campbell has spent his life immersed in music, a passion which has given him a wealth of experience across decades, countries and genres. In the late 1970s, while still a university student in Salford, Simon furthered his musical education with hard-rockers Whitefire. The band released an EP and toured the UK before taking a 'Punk-esque R & B' direction under their new moniker, Roadrunner.
Commercial success came with his next venture, Little Brother, whose Europop sound saw them snapped up by Line Records (Polydor Germany). Although the band unfortunately split after one album (the well-received 'Survival'), Simon was now free to pursue new challenges.
Returning to his Rock roots, he formed The Method with Mike Hehir from Sad Cafe and Mick Gilbourne, one time drummer with 10CC. Over a two-year period, the band toured throughout the UK and Europe.
During this time, Simon's interest in production led him to work with Rick Dowson and Millhause and, when the latter became The Disciples, Simon joined them as guitarist and lead vocalist. The Disciples disbanded in time but not before releasing a mini-album (favourably reviewed by Q), and leaving a lasting impression on live audiences.
Alongside his long and varied band career, Simon has also been a highly sought-after session player, collaborating with numerous high-profile musicians for both studio work and live performances.
His move to the Isle of Man in 2008 and subsequent involvement with its vibrant music scene led to a new a chapter in Simon's journey and in 2011 saw the release of his first solo album, ThirtySix.
The perfect showcase for Simon's versatility and profound musical understanding, ThirtySix harnesses a wide variety of guitar styles while being grounded in a deep-seated love of Rock and Blues.
In the year of its release, he was nominated for a prestigious British Blues Award. In 2013 Simon moved to Valencia, Spain and completed work on his next album, 'The Knife'.
Whether writing, producing, recording or playing, Simon's appetite for musical exploration remains unabated and he intends to keep on running for a long time to come.

A native of San Diego, BJ “Beej” Estares grew up in Southern California heavily influenced by jazz and big band music, thanks to his dad’s eclectic taste. After moving to music-saturated Los Angeles at the age of twelve, his parents gleefully helped him trade his drum set for an acoustic guitar. He then proceeded to wear out the grooves of every Wes Montgomery LP he could get his hands on. At fourteen, his brother turned him on to Janis Joplin’s “Turtle Blues”. From that day the poor boy has been lost in the blues forever.2012’s project, “Easy Street” took early accolades from the Pikes Peak Blues Community as the “Best Self Produced CD” in the region for 2013. “Easy Street” shot out of the gate with immediate airplay on the “Blue Plate Special” and is also distributed by “CD Baby”. “Easy Street” shines with guest performances by jazz guitarist Rick Greene, pianist Bryant Jones and George Whitesell on sax. With “all original” songs, five of them acoustic solos, “Easy Street “ demonstrates the versatility of BJ Estares and Route 61.

 9. These Are Not for You - 4:09
10. Fatback - 4:05

It’s been eight years or so since Daniel Barrett, Simon Wallace and Mike Meadows have put out anything together as Porterdavis. It’s not that they have been idle for that time. Barrett has been producing other artists, like Ruthie Foster and Meadows and Wallace are highly sought after session musicians, having played with the likes of Eliza Gilkyson and others. The result of the reunion, “Extra Electric Infinite”, is a unique blend of blues and folk and rock that was well worth the wait.
“Sweet Maybe” picks up where “Trynottotry” leaves off in a much more straight up blues style, featuring all three musicians more or less equally. “Ophelia, If I Land” is predominately vocals over harmonica, begging for another chance from the ex, with financial concerns in the background. The pace slows for “Easy with the World” coming more from a folk/gospel sound. Barrett leans heavily on the echo sound for “Ask”, a gentle tune about working through misunderstanding, featuring some interesting guitar effects to go with the vocal effects. “These Are Not for You” continue to implement the special recording effects while dealing with the ups and downs of being in a relationship. “Fatback” is a bluesy ode to finding oneself in freedom and looking for “fatback love”. “Extra Electric Infinite” is a much different production than the last Porterdavis CD. The themes have grown up along with the members of the band. Still that unique interplay that only comes from the Porterdavis combo make these tunes unmistakably theirs. If you were a fan of the last disc, this one will not be a disappointment ~ James Killen (2018)

Broken Arrow Blues Band was born on stage at a benefit concert for needy families of the Detroit area Carpenters Union, where four different band’s members came together to produce a great performance for a crowd of over 2000 people in August of 2008. The natural gel and awesome groove produced there at that concert left only one thing to do, run with it and start a new Band. The Band is comprised of ALL Venerated and Seasoned Veteran Blues Musicians from great bands in their own rights.
- Founding Member & Owner, G.Shadowhawk Ellis / Drums ,Vocals & Composer / Arranger. / Writer /Producer;
- Mr. Rich Hwang ( Say WONG ) / Guitars and Vocals, Writter / Arranger / Composer;
- Gary Rasmussen / Bass :Electric  4 string, / Producer/Arranger
- Mr. Jimmy David on Keys / B-3, & Vocals. ( as needed )
The band quickly took off in the Detroit Blues Scene, and since, in their 2nd & 3rd years, had started to branch out to the masses at festivals, concerts, and night clubs all over Michigan & The Mid-West US, and now tours nationally, and regularly. The Band now has 5 releases to their credit in 5 short years.  They tour Nationally on a quarterly basis taking their brand of Rockin Detroit Blues & Boogie all over the US & Canada to cheering crowds.
This band’s original music can be likened to Traditional Blues with heavy rock elements mixed with a Jazz/Fusion flare.The show contains elements of all styles of the Blues, but was best described as "Detroit Style Electric Blues" by many of the people who have seen and heard the Band perform. The first release, “Given Right” is all original and has created a buzz around Michigan and beyond.  Now a seasoned Band on the scene, Broken Arrow Blues is becoming a favorite of many a seasoned Blues fan who recognize all its members from other successful bands. At its core Broken Arrow delivers greasy grooves and rocky edged funky blues to everyone’s enjoyment that has made this Band the one to compare all others to. Considering the short time this Band has been together, it becomes immediately apparent that the Musicians are moving as one, and having a ball doing it!  Since their formation, the band released the first CD in 4 short months, the Band has quickly released a LIVE CD, Recorded at Callahan's Music Hall, in Auburn Hills, Michigan {released in January of 2010}, and another studio effort, "Good Times", recorder at Motor City Sounds Music Studios in Rochester, Michigan and released in June of 2010.  Now the Band has finished their  4th NEW RELEASE "No Time To Waste" recorded at Motor City Sounds Studios in Rochester, Michigan that has been released on Labor Day 2011, and recently released the 2nd LIVE CD and 5th release in 5 years. They have proven they are ready to produce hit after hit of original music know only as Broken Arrow Style Detroit Electric Blues & Boogie!!!!, as the genre it covers mixes many styles and crosses thresholds of many genres and styles combined.

"Halfway Between Somewhere & Nowhere" by Hellhounds is a blues music CD released in 2006. This album showcases the unique sound and style of the artist, blending elements of blues with rock and other genres to create a distinctive musical experience for listeners. Fans of blues music will enjoy the soulful melodies and electrifying performances captured in this album.
The Hellhounds are Vince Flora on Lead Vocals, Harp and Guitar, Johnny Beemiller on Guitar / Vocals, Ron Rummage on Bass / Vocals and Bill Meredith on Drums. They possess a certain sound and ability as a band with individual musicianship unparalleled by many. The Hellhounds would like to invite you to taste some Memphis barbeque for your ears by listening to some clips from Halfway Between Somewhere And Nowhere. The CD was recorded September 2005 at Leeway Music Studios in Memphis with producer Jeff Dunn and engineer Kevin Houston. Mastering was done by Larry and Kevin Nix at Ardent Studios also in Memphis. Donald 'Duck' Dunn ( Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Blues Brothers and Neil Young) served as executive producer on the project as well. The band had Duck come in towards the end of pre-production to see if the songs and arrangements could pass the acid test. Soon thereafter at a show in early August Duck told the band it was time to hightail it to memphis, get down to business and record the CD. In keeping with the flow of their intense and spontaneous energy, the Hellhounds finished the CD which showcases the band's powerful live sound in only eight days,topping off the hard work in the studio with a smokin' show at Blues City on Beale Street. 
Nice gritty bar-band blues. The lead singer has a gravelly voice perfectly suited for the material. The rock side of blues rock. Three chord frenzies and the secret of loud amps, distortion and reverb revealed yet again. A cut above most records in building dynamics into arrangements ... loud is louder after quiet passages. Another one that sounds designed as a bar band demo recording, because a band that can drive like this all night = a good night for the bar and everyone in it. Their original songs probably get a lot of live requests. In a regional blues talent contest, everyone in the audience would recognize The Hellhounds as strong contenders for the prize.
