No matter the backdrop, sunrises and sunsets always have an alluring charm. The cover of "Catch The Morning Sun" is no exception.There have also been some lineup changes in the John F. Klaver Band. Tenny Tahamata (formerly of Link, Julian Sas) is now on bass. Furthermore, the bandleader has passed the lead vocals to Nicole Verouden, though not entirely, as John F. Klaver still takes over on some tracks. Nevertheless, Nicole Verouden brings a fresh dimension to the album. While John F. Klaver is known for his wide range of blues styles, this album somehow conveys a different dimension, and not just because of the new singer.... Those who are busy catching the morning sun are, in common parlance, the early bird that catches the worm, and for the listener, the album is something like a carpe diem in seven tracks, all written by the protagonist except for the interpretations of "Gonna Move" (Paul Peña) and "Shelter" (D.R. Harris, S. Tedeschi, D. Trucks). The bandleader clearly had many moments brimming with brilliant ideas, as all his compositions capture the listener's attention.The review of "Catch The Morning Sun" must begin with the opener, "There Will Be A Day," because Nicole Verhouden sings, and one is easily captivated by her voice. She initially takes center stage, but on a second listen, the interplay between the acoustic six-string and the slided electric guitar emerges. Furthermore, the solo incorporates Southern influences. The singer's authentic voice is also reflected in the backing vocals. The first three and a half minutes showcase the new brilliance of the John F. Klaver Band.And that's not all; there are six more tracks to go.The master guitarist himself sings the title track, "Catch The Morning Sun." Inviting, powerful riffs accompany us all the way to the end of the song, and, of course, he demonstrates his skill on the six strings of his instrument. His vocals are anything but whiny.The album also proves that for this artist, who also plays with Phil Bee's Freedom, stagnation is clearly a foreign concept. "Funny Way Of Showing It"—again featuring Nicole Verouden on vocals—oscillates between fusion, blues, and funk, culminating in an infectiously seductive chorus. Fantastic! The two cover songs contain a strong original element, and "Gonna Move" deserves special mention in this regard.In "Learned A Lot," a slow blues flows from the speakers, and here Nicole Verouden's voice truly blossoms. Beautiful! John F. Klaver evolves throughout this song from a gentle guitarist to a psychedelic agitator with a hard-hitting bass line. "Learned A Lot" is a highlight, followed by "Rollin' Away," where you can perfectly drift along on the waves of blues rock with a few skillful maneuvers.John F. Klaver 2017: New band, new songs, and with "Catch The Morning Sun," the direction of his success hasn't changed one iota. However, it's about time the x- and y-axes were extended.

There are some opportunities that one cannot afford to miss - they must be seized. WES, The Power Trio, a band made up of three power musicians fresh from the New Orleans music scene have it all: a mixture of rock, Rhythm & blues, Blues, Reggae and Funk. Three musicians, bassist Ron Wesley, drummer Paul Benko, and the guitarist with the elusive initials V.C., have already opened for and jammed with such famous names as Johnny Winters, James Cotton, David Bromberg, Tab Benoit, and Lonnie Brooks. Having played their own special brand of music for over half of the world, they break out of the traditional jazz mold. In order to provoke audience participation and have that 'Black Feeling' permeate the listeners, they aim directly at the gut of the public through the use of their sweeping rhythms.

Sweet Daddy Cool Breezea Chicago-style boogie and blues band was formed by Wally "Sweet Daddy"Greaney in 1990. Through the years Sweet Daddy has developed a loyal European following in Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, and Austria. Touring overseas for the past twenty years. Back home,the band toured regularly up and down the East Coast and Mid West until 2008. The fall of the economy in 2008 took S.D.C.B. off the road in the states. With two girls in collage a full time job was needed. Fast forward to 2018 and Sweet Daddy looks forward to continuing to work at a successful Blues career which has already spanned over thirty five years. He's recorded with the likes of Matt Guitar Murphy from the Blues Brothers, Jaimoe, drummer for the Allman Brothers, Ken Johnson drummer for James Cotton, Kenny Neal. Wally has also worked with John Kay (Founder & Lead Singer of Steppenwolf ) recording a DVD titled John Kay & Friends Live at The Renaissance Center. He's shared the stage with blues legends Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, James Cotton, KoKo Taylor, Junior Wells, Taj Mahal and BO Diddlie . Sweet Daddy's smoking lead vocals, full-bodied harmonica, and soulful saxophone along with Mark Easton's explosive Guitar add up to an unprecedented high energy Blues show that few bands can match. It's only a matter of time until people in cities and towns across America repeat the words spoken by the eighty-year-old trucker whose phrase gave rise to the bands name: Lawd have mercy, Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze is in town.

"Randy Volin was born in the late 60's in Detroit Michigan and his first memory memory of becoming hooked on music started the night the Beatles debuted on the Ed Sullivan Shoe. . For some reason he still doesn't quite comprehend, Randy became totally enthralled with music, especially the Blues, but he didn't learn how to play an instrument until 1971. After Jimi Hendrix died, Randy bought his first guitar, a used Fender Jaguar, and within 2 years he had acquired his first gig as a bass player. In 1977, Randy landed a record contract with A&M records with his band The Look, and toured extensively while releasing three albums.
In 1986, Randy finally went back to his roots, and dedicated his life as a player to the Blues. From 1986 till now, Randy has played in the Tri State area of Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio continuously, while releasing 3 solo CDs. He has played with and opened for artists such as Joe Cocker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Wilbert Harrison, Lazy Lester, Eddie Money, Koko Taylor, Junior Wells, Albert King, BB King, Lonnie Brooks, Cheap Trick, Steve Marriott, John Mellencamp, Little Anthony, Detroit Royalty... Mitch Ryder, Johnny Bee Badanjek, and Jimmy McCarty, The Kinks, Greg Kihn, Peter Frampton, April Wine, Sonny Landreth, Johnny Johnson, John Mayall, Jeff Healy, Hubert Sumlin, J. Geils, Kirk Fletcher, Jimmy Vivino and many, many others. Randy is a self-confessed gear head and you'll quickly discover that Randy also has an envious stash of some of the most desirable vintage gear ever made.
Now living in Los Angeles, Randy is once again, doing his 'thang', Detroit style. He's been doing session work, recording, writing, rehearsing, being called to play with other artist or bands, while doing his own material too.

Blue Cat Groove is a collection of four award-winning veteran musicians based in Worcester, Mass., who deliver their own brand of rock-flavored rhythm-and-blues. Assembled two years ago and led by guitarist Samuel Bowen, the band has become a regional favorite at clubs and festivals, and just missed out on 2015 Band Of The Year honors in awards sponsored by Limelight Magazine, the web-based entertainment publication that covers the entire New England region.The unit is fronted by vocalist Kimberly Hodgens-Smith, a Nashville native, who possesses a dynamic alto voice. She was formerly a member of Crossfire, the Southern rock band based in Knoxville, Tenn., and is a founding member of Trophies Of Grace. Bowen doubles on electric and acoustic guitars. They’re backed by a rhythm section of Jeff “The Doctor” Oosterman on bass and Ohio native Vinnie “Cleveland” Depolo on drums, and all three of the men contribute backing vocals. Alan Handel makes a guest appearance on guitar for one cut. A follow-up to their debut eponymous release, Too Much Talk was produced by Bowen, who composed all of the originals. Not to be confused with a tune with a similar title that appeared in the Sylvester Stallone film, The Expendables, “Sinners Prayer,” a new number with a decidedly rock edge, kicks off the action. A simple four-note guitar hook repeats throughout as Kimberly belts out a request for mercy if she’s done anyone wrong. The same statement holds true for the next number, “Power Of Love,” which isn’t the Frankie Goes To Hollywood hit, but an original with a syncopated backbeat. A stripped-down, slow tempo cover of the T-Bone Walker chestnut “Stormy Monday” provides an aural break from the two rockers before it. Kimberly’s sultry delivery is smooth and behind the beat. It precedes the album’s cover tune, “Too Much Talk,” a complaint about a lover who can’t feel the world turning under his feet. It’s the first number on the disc that allows Bowen room to stretch out on the strings. Kimberly’s Nashville roots are on display during the tender “Heaven Rain Down,” a medium shuffle about a woman who needs help – and needs it now. “Small Things” is an acoustic blues ballad about the problems we face in a world where tiny mistakes can create big problems for folks who have both faith and belief in everything you say. The theme continues in “Is It Safe,” which flows over a tasty, but simple minor-key guitar hook as it questions whether or not a lover is lying when the singer’s perceptions are blinded by love.“One Of Us” is a deeply spiritual number that speculates what if God “were one of us,” and asks if you could ask Him one question, what would that question be? A funky bass line introduces “Hold Us Together,” about a woman desperate for help to overcome a situation where the man she truly adores is unemployed and life is breaking down around them. The album concludes with an exceptionally strong cover of the Negro spiritual “Wade In The Water,” which was recorded live. Too Much Talk is a solid effort throughout, and the original material is fresh and worth a listen.

It rocks and has good soul. The voice is good too. I hear US southern rock influences of ZZ Top, Allman Bros. , Warren Haynes, and a few more in the writing, playing and arranging.

Formed out of veterans of the Detroit music scene, the Smokin' 45s are bringing fans their special blend of Rock and Blues. Their live show takes the music up a notch, taking cues from the American electrified Chicago Blues sounds and adding their own zeal to the sounds in a nod to the British Blues and British Invasion movements homages to the established master. The Smokin' 45s borrow from the catalogs of those from which they've drawn their inspriation in their live shows and add their own music which stands tall next to that of their well-established influences. There's no room in these sets for long, drawn-out, self-indulgent solos. These sets are packed with heart-pumping, foot-stomping rock and blues with a distinctive Detroit drive.
The Smokin' 45s first came together in 2000. Over the next few months, they continued working on writing original material and finding tasty covers that well suited the sound they had assembled. The results were clear - this was the genesis of something that was moving forward. They began recording at Stony Creek Studios in Rochester, Michigan in late 2002 with Jeff LaDuke at the dials. Twelve songs later, the band had tracks for a CD. They released their debut CD "Anywhere But Here..." in 2003. Distributing the release themselves on cdbaby.com , they've been able to reach listeners in France, Belgium, England, Holland, Norway, Argentina, Poland as well as fans across the US and Canada.
In 2004, The Smokin' 45s began booking shows more regularly and playing shows that got them more attention. The band had been writing material since their initial release and once 2010 rolled around, the band started working on a new CD in the summer and fall months between their roster of shows. Then in late 2010/early 2011, they were back at Stony Creek Studios commencing work on their new release, "Trouble Again".
With invitations to the several key festival shows in the Southeast Michigan area added to the roster of bar gigs, things started moving ahead for them. Their momentum kept moving into 2005 and beyond - more festivals, more bar gigs, more parties, more songs. The band had the honor of being accepted into the Michgan Humanties Council 2012-2015 Arts and Humanites Touring Directory and were honored to again be part of this esteemed program for 2018-2021
Great music - tight, lively shows. These guys are determined to separate themselves from the sea of also-rans and has-beens.

Over the past 25 years, Doctor Nick and the Rollercoasters have performed countless gigs at the venerable Rex Hotel and elsewhere. Their Blues is rooted in the early electric post-war period of Chicago's south side of the 1950's, where Blues luminaries such as Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Little Walter and others honed their craft to produce a sound which is at the root of most of the contemporary music that we hear today. Doctor Nick fronts the band singing and laying down the fat sax-like tone of the amplified harmonica that is so emblematic of that era. Juno award winning Julian Fauth also graces the stage on piano and vocals. On guitar, the talented Darren Gallen digs into some deep Blues grooves and is supported by the stellar rhythm section of Bob Vespaziani on drums and James Thompson on acoustic bass. The Rollercoasters play the Blues in the only way they know how: with passion, sincerity and respect. We invite you to come down and catch a show.  If you have the Blues, Doctor Nick has the remedy.

So, Marc Benno's Take It Back To Texas-yeah, it's a thing. Dropped in 2018 but recorded way back in 1990 at Dallas Sound Lab. Kinda wild that it sat around for nearly three decades before seeing the light. Album's got that raw, unpolished vibe you can't fake. Like, you hear the room, the breaths, the creak of a stool. Feels real. Not overproduced like so much stuff these days. Benno's voice? It's lived-in. Sounds like he's been down some backroads, had a few too many coffees at roadside diners. Not flashy, but honest. You believe him when he sings about pool halls and black Cadillacs.  Guess they really liked that one. Slide guitar cuts through like a knife. Denny Freeman on piano and slide? Yeah, that's a win. Doyle Bramhall Sr. on drums and backing vocals-solid. And his son, Doyle Bramhall II, on guitar and bass? That's next level. Family affair with some serious talent. The track, "Take It Back To Texas," feels like a homecoming. Proud, not cheesy. No cowboy hats or boot-scootin' nonsense. Just a guy saying, this is where I'm from. No apologies. "No Problem Child" kicks off strong-bluesy rock with a swagger that doesn't try too hard. But, not perfect. Some tracks feel a bit samey after a while. Like, we get it-Texas, roots, blues-rock. But maybe a little more variety in tempo or mood would've helped.

Jr. Johnny uses one of his custom made harp amps on this CD Awesome tone! You got to hear this !!! Jr. Johnny is backed by: “The Usual Suspects”. ‘The photos Jr. Johnny includes in his liner notes this time out present the guy as a veritable studio rat. No doubt that’s true, since WOW is Johnny’s 12th album, released just over a year since the last offering, Red Hot. On WOW, Johnny mixes his forthright, at times a little salacious, originals with a few well-worn blues standards — all soaked with his trademarked Sonny Boy II–style harmonica flair. This time around, Florida’s best kept secret in blues harp adds a new ingredient to his sound. The addition of guest Kenny Clark on Nord C2 combo organ marks a big step forward for the band. Noticibly fatter in texture than past efforts, WOW benefits from Clark’s presence by adding subtle nuances not previously heard from the band.
“With each album building upon the last, WOW is without a doubt the best yet from these guys. Johnny’s harp is still pivotal to the band’s sound, but the glow of Kenny Clark’s organ can’t be denied. The band would do well to bring Clark back for another round.”
