Before he became a covert force in modern blues, Willie Buck cut his teeth in the Midwest’s roughest roadhouses, places where the air was thick with smoke, the amps were loud enough to rattle the bar taps, and only the boldest voices survived the night. Willie wasn’t just bold, he was unmistakable. His storm weathered vocals, instinct for deep-in-the-pocket groove, and natural stage command earned him a reputation as the kind of performer who could turn any room into a mission accomplished. But every top operative eventually finds the right team. That team arrived in the form of The Secret 4, a squad of elite rhythm agents known for surgical precision, high voltage energy, and silent but deadly musical instincts. Their off the grid live history made them legends in the underground circuit until they aligned with Willie and blew their cover wide open. Recently joining the operation is Anthony Bruno, a saxophone specialist whose sharp-toned lines and midnight cool presence have made him the unit’s resident intelligence operative. His horn work cuts through the mix like encrypted radio chatter, vital, urgent, and impossible to ignore.
Together, Willie Buck, The Secret 4, and Anthony Bruno deliver a sound straight out of a high stakes spy thriller: blues with bite, soul with swagger, and grooves engineered for maximum impact.

Blues is not a genre that typically boasts a massive following—especially in Spain. Despite this, the style is home to some truly high-caliber, prestigious musicians—such as Tonky de la Peña, Javier Vargas, Ñaco Goñi, and the unclassifiable Malcom Scarpa—some of whom even enjoy international recognition. Beyond these well-known names, there are also many performers who, while perhaps less famous, have proven their mettle in playing this music. Such is the case with Quique Gómez, Pablo Sanpa, Héctor Rojo, and Miguel Ángel Benito. Now performing as "Gatos Bizcos," they are releasing their debut album after having cut their teeth on all sorts of stages and with various acts (Red House, Josele Santiago, Lou Marini, etc.); notably, they have served as the backing band for bluesman Eddie C. Campbell. Released by Gaztelupeko Hotsak—a Basque label dedicated to promoting African-American music—*I Can’t Believe My Eyes* was produced by Santi Martín. The production captures an immediacy and intimacy that makes it easy for the listener to picture themselves in a dimly lit club, watching the band play live. While this is undeniably a blues album—that is the driving style—the songs draw from a wide and varied range of influences. In fact, the album is the antithesis of a mere attempt to carbon-copy the genre's standard forms and rhythms; the group brings its own distinctive stamp to the music, approaching the genre with dynamism and agility.
The album opens with the sound of a harmonica that evokes a classic feel—specifically reminiscent of Carey Bell. The track "Let’s Have Some Fun" signals the band's melodic leanings—often drawing on jazz or swing—which continue in another tribute: "Little Walter Song," a track that explicitly honors one of the most renowned harmonica players. "I Can’t Believe My Eyes," built on a blues foundation, is an extraordinary stylistic blend echoing the best of Ray Charles, delivering an infectious, upbeat rhythm. "Backward Blues" continues this upbeat, eclectic mix; while perhaps surprising, it leads the band into territory once traversed by groups like the Lovin’ Spoonful. At the opposite end of the spectrum—with a vintage feel, yet still bursting with energy—is "Orange Colour Sky," reminiscent of the songs Bessie Smith performed at the intersection of blues and jazz. One of the album's most profound moments—alongside the brilliant "Goin’ Home," which blends country, gospel, and B.B. King influences—arrives with their take on the legendary "Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out." They approach it with a blues-soul vibe and a beautiful organ sound—reminiscent of Derek and the Dominos, yet more minimalist in execution. At the other extreme lies "We Like the Boogie," which lives up to its name as the guitars kick into high gear. A similar rhythm—albeit less wild—drives the original version of Eddie C. Campbell’s "That’s When I Know," though here the group noticeably slows the tempo. Gatos Bizcos have created an album where the blues—while serving as the primary ingredient and the foundation of the compositions—is presented in a way that is original, polished, and appealing to any type of audience: those who enjoy infectious melodies as well as, naturally, those who appreciate the sounds of Black music.

According to the experts, Lefthand Freddy has been part of the Eredivisie of the Blues for many years! Lefthand Freddy (Fred Reining, 1958) first made himself known as a solo artist in the mid-80s, whereby he does not hide his love for the 'old classics' and stands out for his creative play and original approach. In the early 1990s he formed 'Lefthand Freddy & The Aces', with which he released a total of 4 CDs in the period up to 2002, all of which were cheered by the national and international music press (the 1st release 'Buried In Blues' has since become a collector's item !). In addition, the band tours in Belgium, Germany and Italy and plays at major major festivals (Gloucester Blues Festival, Leverkusener Jazztage, Sziget Budapest). At the end of the 90s the trio is strengthened with keyboardist William Kooistra, who is on stage for the first time on the 4th CD 'Urban Blues Adventures' and proves to be an important asset during the many performances with his Hammond.

The beauty of the blues is that it’s so simple and raw that it can convey anything from anybody. It’s not playing different chords—it’s that one can play the same chords that have been played forever, and still play them with one’s own pain with one’s own soul. Turchi play a gritty, textured style of the blues, which, at times, is pretty remarkable, like on the first track “Take Me Back Home.” Too often, though, they degenerate into lousy psychedelic rock.
“Lightning Skies” is the perfect example of this, where the rhythm suggests a hard-hitting blues stomper, but the fuzzed-out guitar dances around on top of everything and even seems to push out the vocals and loses me. Couple all that with lead vocals that feel disjointed from half the songs, and there’s just too much gone wrong on Can’t Bury Your Past. –James Orme

The concept of UK artists influenced by, and even trying to replicate, American bands is nothing new. However, Britain’s The Temperance Movement, take that a step further. The quintet combines their British rocking bluster with a distinctly Southern-styled approach.
That has been in effect since The Temperance Movement’s 2013s debut. But on ‘New Promise Land Incorporated,’ (released Oct. 9, Earache label), there is a more direct connection with a red-clay sensibility. Take a serving of Rolling Stones grit, add some Free and Humble Pie-styled rocking soul then take a cross-Atlantic trip to imbibe a dose of the Black Crowes and the Georgia Satellites for a potent combination sure to please fans on both sides of the ocean.
This worked well in the past, at least in the UK where they were headliners, until the outfit stepped away from active entity due in part to frontman/singer/songwriter Phil Campbell’s substance abuse issues. That hiatus lasted eight years (their previous batch of originals arrived in 2018), but ends in a big way with this new set from a revived Temperance Movement.
Despite the near decade-long break, there are no major changes in the band’s musical stance. These ten tracks– a mix of ballads and grinding, riffy blues rockers– could have been included in 2018s ‘A Deeper Cut,’ generally considered their finest recorded moment.
The word “swagger” is often used to describe The Temperance Movement, and that remains an appropriate depiction.
The opening “Shadows” kicks off with a propulsive rhythm guitar strum supporting a lead guitar lick setting the table for Campbell’s flinty, grisly yowl of a voice. His scratchy, throaty attack– somewhere between a revved-up, old-school Rod Stewart, AC/DC‘s Brian Johnson and of course the Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson– defines the sound. Echoed wordless backing adds a twist, one of many tweaks that puts this band on another level than just strutting, taut, rockers fronted by a cool singer.
The demonstrative “Eat You Alive” (“There ain’t no stopping us/If we got love in us, baby”) is just under three minutes of gutsy, thumping thunder, epitomizing how these guys strip away any fat weighing down their songs.
There’s a bluesy streak in the appropriately titled mid-tempo “Silverlight Blues” as Campbell cries “Feeling myself falling/Making myself whole again” with more than a pinch of Eddie Vedder’s bellow.
The album’s second half settles into a less, well, “swaggering” stance as Campbell leads his players into slightly calmer, but no less powerful waters. The floating, acoustic-based “Saving Grace” is one of their most sensitive, introspective tunes. It builds stylishly from a soft opening to a throatier, almost religious close enhanced by sympathetic organ flourishes and Campbell’s emotionally laced vocals. A similar creeping feeling urges “Mongrels” as Campbell shifts into Joe Cocker mode singing “We were mongrels all our days/I can’t change my ways,” with earnest honesty.
In “Hometown Kings and Queens” the singer rumbles through a ballad with the chorus of “I choose love again” telling the listener how he has decided to live his life going forward. “My choice was made,” he declares and we believe him. How could you not, when hearing Campbell tear into his heart as the tape runs?
It will come as little surprise that producer Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon) captured these performances live in the studio with few if any overdubs. The player’s natural cohesion bleeds through to the final product which exudes all the rawness and intensity that has made The Temperance Movement so vital in concert, they were chosen to open for the Stones.
Ever after an extended absence, this group shows no trepidation or insecurity with an album that picks up where they left off and is as compelling as anything in their catalog.

Is this Chicagoan equal parts Mitch Woods, Johnny Cash and jive hipster rapper backed by Canned Heat on overdrive or is it just me? Jeff Dale talks and/or talk-sings his way over a joyous blues noise. Guitars of the slide, blues or the psychedelic acid drenched variety dogfight it out to glorious results. Greg Davidson’s guitar work harkens back to the glory days of Henry Vestine and purveyors of the San Francisco sound. The lack of a conventional singer begins to make sense as part of the desired sound and vibe after repeated listenings. This record is about blues attitude rather than an attempt at authentic blues. Instruments dive in and out of the mostly fierce attack that is the norm here. That is not to say that a whimsical and fun element isn’t included at times.“This Time”, the lead-off track enters with a ringing guitar riff to be shortly visited by Jeff’s ominous and slashing slide guitar. His gravelly talk-singing fits right into the groove. “Stumblin’” is a slow shuffle about trying to reach his woman that features tough and clean guitar from Davidson and solid harmonica work from Jeff Stone. The title track bemoans the closing of a favorite blues haunt in Chicago. A slow intro gives way to a chugging slide bolstered workout, before pulling slowly back into the station. The guys trot out powerful boogie crunch to power along “Hanging By a Thread”, a song of desperation. The hokum jump blues ala Mitch Woods is showcased in “She’s Mad” featuring stinging guitar and the sax styling’s of Jim Jedeikin. Guest Charlie Love contributes a fine Chicago-style blues guitar solo to “Stuck In Traffic”. A sprightly, toe-tapper of a riff leads into “My Own Worst Enemy” were the narrator fesses up to his shortcomings. Jeff and the boys offer up a record of the “It grows on you” kind. Most times these are the best like day old chili when the flavors just get to mingling. Hard time and frivolous blues are done up here in fine fashion. These kinds of blues go down well with a few brewskis. The guitar arsenal of the band and a few guests will be satisfying to any self-respecting blues guitar connoisseur. If world-weary and happy-go-lucky blues appeal to you, this is the “Blues Room” to visit.

The Blues Chooses You, featuring Chicago's Joe Moss, forges New Orleans juju and Carolina soul with a little Chicago fire into a sound all its own. Max Hightower was born and raised in the Upstate of South Carolina. At age 12, he bought his first Blues cassette tape, 'Muddy Mississippi Live' by Muddy Waters. The new and mysterious sound of the music had such an immediate impact on him that in no time he was banging around on his Grandmother's Silvertone guitar. However, it was the Harmonica that became his instrument of choice. He found that there was something almost spiritual about having an instrument that close to his voice, giving every breath meaning. That little 10 hole harp led him down the path of composing his own songs, playing the piano, bass, guitar, singing, teaching and producing. As one of the founding members of Plate Full O' Blues, he now tours the USA, Canada and Europe. He has even shared the stage with some of the very legends that fueled his passion for the music, like Hubert Sumlin, Willie Smith, Bob Margolin, Eddie Shaw and Leon Everette to name a few.

Sari Schorr was never made to stand still. From finding her voice in the rock clubs of New York City to the explosive launch of her solo career in 2016 and her collaboration with legendary guitarist Robin Trower, the acclaimed singer-songwriter’s road-scuffed boots have barely touched the ground. Recently, she's given voice to some of blues master Robin Trower’s finest contemporary songs on 2023’s Joyful Sky. Now, with Running Wild, Schorr channels that restless momentum into her most personal and defiant record yet.
Schorr is a fascinating one-off. One moment, she’s the raven-haired warrior princess whose kerosene roar burns down the house; the next, a heart-stopping balladeer who bleeds into every lyric and can silence even the toughest crowd. Offstage, she is a passionate social activist with a mischievous wit – an irrepressible optimist, an incurable dreamer and a devoted animal lover. All those sides of her, and more, are evident on Running Wild.

It feels like just yesterday that I was reviewing the Texas Headhunters’ self-titled debut album, and I was anticipating what would come next for the band. Well, my questions have been answered.
The three core members have remained together while touring, including dates with Samantha Fish, receiving widespread acclaim for the last album. More recently, they have been back in the studio recording their brand new album, Rise And Shine. It is set to be released on October 10th. Amazingly, as they did with their first album, they recorded this album in only five days. Referred to by some as a blues-rock supergroup, the threesome of Ian Moore, Jesse Dayton, and Johnny Moeller each had their own careers when they formed Texas Headhunters. Each of them was also a product of the legendary Clifford Antone (Antone’s Blues Club in Austin, Texas), who provided guidance and influence to the trio. Furthermore, all three are Texans and guitarists, and as a colorful saying about Texans goes, “this ain’t their first rodeo.” Ian Moore spent time in Joe Ely’s band in the early 1990s, the Ian Moore Band (his own group), and the Lossy Coils. Jesse Dayton was a member of Road Kings and Alamo Jets and did work on some Rob Zombie movie soundtracks. Johnny Moeller is a member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. 
There is one unarguable certainty shared between Moore, Dayton, and Moeller. Each is a superb musician, a guitarist to be specific, and each shines throughout this brand new release. They are also supported by a couple of other great musicians: Michael Archer on bass and Jay Moeller (Johnny’s brother) on drums. One great way to grab a listener’s attention immediately is to kick off an album with a “banger” of a tune, and Texas Headhunters do exactly that on Rise And Shine with “Cut N Run.” It’s also a preview of the great stuff to come. This one is a rocker, and the guitar work here is excellent, as it is throughout this whole recording. Dayton sings, “I gave you everything I could possibly give. Still I know you’ll be leaving me soon,” and “this ain’t no more fun, baby’s gonna cut and run.” When that kind of thing happens, there is really only about one thing to do: say, “Fare ye well my darling.” This tune was released as a follow-up to their first release, which I’ll talk about a little later. With a slow, smoky, bluesy start, “I Did It Anyway” offers up some useful advice that goes like this: “They say never get your honey the same place you get your money, but I did it anyway. They say never buy a house with a woman that’s ready to move out, but I did it anyway.”
Don’t we all know folks who don’t listen to good advice? They’ve just got to find out for themselves. This one picks up the pace and keeps offering plenty of good common-sense advice about what we shouldn’t do. But too many times, we have to admit that we didn’t listen and end up saying, “I did it anyway.” It’s a lighthearted piece that most of us will identify with and laugh along with as we listen.
The seventh track on Rise And Shine is the title track, “Rise And Shine.” This cut features Moore, Dayton, and Moeller sharing the vocal contributions. I really love the hand clapping in this song with that boogie beat that the band has going on. “Don’t let that devil get you down in his hole. Just rise and shine.” The song warns us to stay away from that devil and not let him get us down. “That’s The Kind Of Fool I’ll Be” is a slow, bluesy song that makes us ponder if love can really make you crazy. “So I’m crazy people say. But love can make you feel that way. And if it’s crazy to be in love, I ain’t been crazy long enough.” The song continues with, “and if you’re still here with me, that’s the kind of fool I’ll be.” Has love ever made you crazy? If it has, then you’ll have no difficulty understanding what this song is all about. I would also encourage you to check out the instrumental “Funky So N So,” which really highlights the outstanding musicianship of the members of Texas Headhunters. Texas Headhunters have delivered another high-quality, excellently performed recording with Rise And Shine, a perfect follow-up to their first album release. If, for some reason, you missed that self-titled release, give it a listen in addition to checking this new one out.

Sherman Holmes returns with ‘One Step Ahead of the Blues’, a new collection rooted in blues, gospel and R&B.Sherman Holmes will release his new album ‘One Step Ahead of the Blues’ on October 9, 2026, through Nola Blue Records. The eleven-track album arrives almost seven decades after Holmes began his musical career and continues the musical path he established with The Holmes Brothers.
Born in New Jersey in 1939 and raised in Virginia, Holmes started his career in 1959. As a founding member of The Holmes Brothers, he helped shape the group’s combination of blues, gospel, soul and R&B.
After building a following in New York and the surrounding area, the band signed with Rounder Records in 1989 and later released five albums through Alligator Records. In 2014, The Holmes Brothers received a National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship, the United States’ highest honour in the folk and traditional arts. Following the deaths of Wendell Holmes and drummer Willie “Popsy” Dixon in 2015, Sherman formed The Sherman Holmes Project and released ‘The Richmond Sessions’ in 2017.
One Step Ahead of the Blues’ was produced by Andreas Werner, who first met The Holmes Brothers at a concert in Zurich in 2004. The two reconnected during the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in 2019, eventually leading to the new album.
Werner set out to make a record that would connect with longtime Holmes Brothers listeners while bringing together the blues, gospel and R&B traditions central to Sherman Holmes’ music.
Recording took place at Creative Workshop in Nashville. The studio musicians include Lynn Williams on drums, Paul Ossola on bass, Harvey Thompson Jr. on keyboards and Werner on guitar.
The Blind Boys of Alabama contribute vocals, while the Muscle Shoals Horns are also featured. Catherine Russell, Joan Osborne, Amy Helm and Ada Dyer appear as the singers known within the Holmes Brothers circle as the “Honorary Holmes Sisters.”
Among the eleven songs are two previously unrecorded compositions by Wendell Holmes. Sherman also revisits The Holmes Brothers’ I’m So Lonely in a new version that, according to the release information, was recorded on the first take.
