Lightnin' Guy is the “hardest working performer” within the Belgian Blues & Roots scene. On August 30 & 31 he recorded his new album in the legendary 'Banana Peel Blues Club'. He received the cooperation of the renowned Guy Forsyth Band and expanded his Mighty Gators to an extra large line-up with top musicians from Belgium and the Senegelese soul singer Aminata Seydi. These 'Banana Peel' Sessions were bundled on a powerful CD. 13 live tracks perfectly reflect what an audience experiences during the intense shows of Lightnin' Guy & the Mighty Gators. This album also shows the evolution of Lightnin' Guy from a pure bluesman to an all-round songwriter. This CD immerses the listener in the wide range of American music styles and, as we would expect from Lightnin' Guy, the CD comes straight from the heart: a milestone and a new direction in a successful career.

Jean-Jacques Milteau - Key To The Highway

 8. Takin' It Back - 2:48
 9. What Does It Take (To Win Your Love) - 3:51
10. Angel From Montgomery - 3:58

While half a century separates this new album from his first recordings, Jean-Jacques Milteau wonders about the pranks of fate. On the innocent, almost innocuous choice of an instrument barely ten centimeters long which allowed him to visit all continents and have a series of improbable encounters, in the musical sphere as in his personal life. It is therefore not surprising that this collection sees him take a pensive look at this unpredictable journey.We will find here all the music that pushed him to improvise as a musician: the poetry of Bob Dylan, the blues which built his knowledge of the harmonica, the country which nourished his imagination, the soul which left him a legacy of harmonic inspirations.This eclecticism finds its unity in the proximity of the breath and the raw sounds of this recording. But don’t think that this record is an ode to nostalgia. It's quite the opposite. By favoring an original alchemy which combines the grace of the Wurlitzer, a founding bass and percussion, he offers us a timeless sound. Without forgetting the voices, with which he continues a passionate dialogue throughout a journey in which the harmonica is the key ~ Sebastian Danchin

TBelly - I Never Want to See Me Again

Bitrate: 320K/s
Year: 2021
Time: 47:11

Label: Self-Released

Tracks Listing:
 1. Never Me Crawl - 4:58
 2. Tired of Listening Bone - 3:42
 3. If Only I Wasn't a Dog - 3:42

 7. I Guess I Must Say - 4:34
 8. I Never Want to See Me Again - 3:22
 9. Automatic Boy - 3:08
10. Lightning Tree - 4:30
11. Plastic Islands - 3:32
12. What Ya Gonna Do - 3:26

One of the hottest British bands at the moment is TBelly. This is actually a solo project by Russell Keefe (vocals, keyboards) from Brighton, which started in 2013 and released the debut album 'Dead Men Don't Pray' in 2015.
On the new album, Russell is assisted by Connor Baxter (guitar), Pip Mailing (drums), Jade Woodhouse (cello), Nicola Bates (violin), Live Steinberg (backing vocals), Ariella Steinberg (backing vocals), Mike Ross (slide guitar). ), Will Wilde (harmonica) and Dennis Dunaway (bass). You might know the latter as the original bassist from the band Alice Cooper.
He can be heard on the title track of the album and Alice Cooper herself is a big fan of this song. Not surprising since we are dealing with a dark, fuzzing, heavy rock song with nasty cutting guitar work.
TBelly's strength also lies in the singing of Russell Keefe. Here he sounds just as growling and bluesy as Joe Cocker. Such as, for example, in the gloomy pounding Never Me Crawl.
The energetic rocker Tired Of Listening Bone has a dirty Pretty Things sound. If you consider that Russell was once part of that band (also of Slade and The Bay City Rollers), this is not really remarkable. A dazzling song with Will Wilde's moaning harmonica and a flaming soul organ.
If Only I Wasn't A Dog surprisingly suddenly goes in the Steely Dan direction, but with Russell's growling blues vocals and powerful raw guitar riffs. The mid-tempo Walk With Me is a song of great Joe Cocker class. Tom Waits could also relate to this beautiful song.
The Steely Dan sound reappears in the heavy, dark and raw Freaky Boys And Freaky Girls. TBelly also has an intimate side as can be heard in the soulful ballad I Guess I Must Say and the bluesy ballad Lightning Tree. The strings play a moody leading role in the ballad Plastic Island.
TBelly says a heavy rocking farewell in What Ya Gonna Do, a grim pumping and pounding song.
The new TBelly album is versatile raw and above all very tasty!!(https://www.bluestownmusic.nl/recensie-tbelly-i-never-want-to-see-me-again/)

The legendary LIGHTNING RED has toured the world performing songs from his many recordings. In 2010 he played to an audience of nearly 10,000 in Switzerland, and his  release is attracting rave reviews, airplay and international touring. Recorded in Croatia and Germany, BLUES FAMILY features vocalist extraordinaire LZ Love, and is attracting favorable attention and performances throughout Europe.
Lightning Red began his R&B musical training early…at age three. Every Saturday night in 1952, while his parents danced, he’d sit directly in front of the saxophone sections of Count Basie, Jimmy Dorsey, Duke Ellington and many of the big bands touring the military base circuit. Marveling at him, iconic musicians would bring Red on stage between shows to noodle on their drums or bang on the piano. Then at age five he studied the piano, had an electric guitar by thirteen, and his band was winning talent contests within a few years time.Toward the end of his teens, Red became a protégé of Luther Allison in Chicago, where he soaked up the sounds of Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Mike Bloomfield, B.B. King, Johnny Winter and the local blues legends. Touring throughout North America followed, and in 1976 Austin, Texas became his home and touring base. While performing at the Armadillo World Headquarters during the latter 70s, Omar and the Howlers, W.C. Clark and "little" Charlie Sexton were brought onstage and introduced their music to the community. Red also soaked up the music of The Fabulous T-Birds (Jimmie Vaughan, Kim Wilson) at Antone's Club and met a struggling "Little" Stevie Ray Vaughan.His performances include the Whangarei Blues Festival in New Zealand, the Perth Blues Club in Australia, two years at the Great British R&B Festival, The Monterey Blues Festival, the Bayfront Blues Festival, many House of Blues dates in Cambridge, repeat performances at Chicago B.L.U.E.S. in New York, the Rapperswil Blues’n’Jazz Festival near Zurich, and Blues Alive! Cuijk in Holland. He has toured the US & UK repeatedly, as well as Scandinavia, Ireland, Australia, Canada, France, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Croatia and Denmark.

The Family Business - Balls Pricey

Bitrate: 320K/s
Year: 2015
Time: 48:14 
Size: 112,3 MB 
Label:Self-Released 
Styles: Rock/Blues/Blues Rock
Art: Front 

Tracks Listing:
 1. The Problem - 4:50
 2. Make My Move - 3:35
 3. You Never Know - 2:42
 4. The Stones - 4:03
 5. The Music - 3:01
 6. Blue - 3:21
 7. Still Alive - 3:45
 8. Monster - 3:47
 9. Watching You - 4:43
10. Wang - 3:20
11. The Big Red Button - 3:35
12. The Wolf - 4:17
13. Double Suite - 3:08

Balls Pricey is the fourth release from the Madison Wisconsin neo-classic rockers, The Family Business. Over the years the boys have explored different genres from straight up heavy blues riffs on their debut Nightmares and Wildest Dreams, to the more Americana, Band-esque sound from the their last record Forefathers. On Balls Pricey  we find T.F.B. cranking out a mix of straight up rock and roll as well as exploring a few other related genres. Balls Pricey opens with the hard rocking “The Problem.” The band quickly shifts gears with the R&B grooving “Make My Move” followed by the boogie rock of “You Never Know.”  The entire record is a mini catalog of various feels and grooves and types of songs in the blues rock idiom.  One of my favorites is the 6/8,  psychedelic,  Allman Brothers tinged “Blue.”  This is definitely one of the album highlights. The guys seem to be stretching their muscles a bit and they do quite well no matter what style they put their hands to.  Ambient production, rock and roll attitude, and their love of the blues keeps the record from sounding too eclectic. There is a definite sonic thread that The Familiy Business weaves through out the entire album. While it’s obvious that they can play anything that they want and still sound authentic, great rock and roll is still what they do best. Tracks like” Double Suite,” “Still Alive,” and “Big Red Button” is where they seem most at home.Singer and guitarist Alex White is a natural blues rock singer with enough bite to convince the even toughest “rock is dead” critic. Lead guitarist Eric Ziegler’s tasteful solos create a powerful double guitar attack with White. T.F.B. meld rock and blues effortlessly. Both White and Ziegler benefit from the formidable rhythm section of Garrett Wartenweiler and Derek Hendrickson who keep Balls Pricey rocking hard from start to finish.Ball Pricey, no matter what genre The Family Business is working with, has a very live feel.  It’s well produced but not slick. The guitars are warm and fat. The drums are loud and the vocals are ruff and soulful. This is the way that great rock and roll and great blues should always sound.

Prince Robinson was born in Glendale, California in 1953 and grew up listening to the jazz records in his father’s collection as avidly as the pop music he heard on the radio. At the age of ten he was given his first guitar – an early model Fender Stratocaster direct from the factory, handed over by Leo Fender himself – which he kept all his life. Throughout his teens he soaked up the new music of the 60s: Hendrix, Coltrane, Zappa, Cream and all; and at the age of twenty he formed his own blues band and opened shows for Robben Ford, Little Feat, John Mayall and Yellowjackets, amongst others, before getting into some serious dues-paying as a member of Ike Turner’s band. He went on to establish himself on the LA session scene, playing with such diverse artists as Thelma Houston, Kenny Loggins and Dizzy Gillespie, while as a member of keyboardist David Garfield’s acclaimed Karizma band he played alongside such luminaries as bassist John Patittucci and drummer Greg Bissonette.
