Rock’n’Roll had a mama and they called her the Blues.
Ladies and gentlemen, may we introduce: Honey Hush. We celebrate the music that gave rise to most of today’s music—born in the American South of the 1930s, coming of age in 1950s Chicago, and gaining hype in the Swinging London of the 60s. Matured across the globe. Twelve bars—a recurring ritual that nonetheless sounds fresh with every pass. We are very proud to have taken first place at the Vestischer Blues Award in June 2024—on our very first attempt! The jury, consisting of blues experts Peter Hempowicz, Jürgen Grenz, Jochen Bottländer, Marco Böhmer, and Mike Moscheuy, selected us for the top spot on the podium!
Honey Hush is deeply rooted in American roots music. This music is straightforward, allowing Honey Hush to deliver compelling and impactful interpretations of vintage classics. Honey Hush’s songs are full of double meanings, for the blues is a secret language; for instance, calls to come into the kitchen and bake bread have little to do with the culinary arts. In their own original songs, Honey Hush explores classic blues themes alongside contemporary issues, such as our AI-driven world.

Jesper Lindell takes his soul pilgrimage to Memphis on Royal, bringing new life to classic songs originally recorded at the legendary Royal Studios. Jesper Lindell’s Royal finds the Swedish soul singer standing inside one of American music’s most hallowed spaces, Memphis’ legendary Royal Studios, bringing a lifelong passion for soul music full circle. In 2024, Lindell and his band, the Brunnsvik Sounds, crossed the Atlantic in search of the music that shaped them. With just four days booked between two iconic studios, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama and Royal Studios in Memphis, they set out to immerse themselves in the sounds they had admired for years. The sessions yielded enough material for two albums. The first became 3614 Jackson Highway, a celebration of the Muscle Shoals legacy. Royal picks up the story in Memphis.Walking into Royal Studios meant stepping into the same room where Al Green, Ann Peebles, Otis Clay, and Syl Johnson recorded some of the defining soul records of the last century. Welcomed by studio owner and engineer Boo Mitchell, son of Hi Records legend Willie Mitchell, Lindell and his band quickly found themselves surrounded by history. The jet lag may have been real, but so was the adrenaline that came with recording in such a legendary setting. The album pays tribute to both the famous and the overlooked corners of the Memphis soul tradition. Lindell and his band put their stamp on songs associated with artists including Elvis Presley, Otis Redding, the Staple Singers, Dusty Springfield, Willie Nelson, Rod Stewart, and the Box Tops, while also shining a light on the work of Margie Joseph, Dan Penn, Donnie Fritts, Tony Joe White, and the Amazing Rhythm Aces. Their approach is rooted in admiration, treating the material as an opportunity to better understand the craft behind songs that have stood the test of time. That spirit of discovery has been central to Lindell's career. Raised in the lakeside town of Ludvika, Sweden, he built his reputation on a deep appreciation for classic soul, roots rock, and Americana. Releases like Twilights and Before the Sun established him as one of the leading voices in the growing Scandinavian soul-rock scene, blending vintage influences with songwriting that feels personal and immediate. On Royal, Lindell completes the second half of an ambitious musical pilgrimage. Recorded in one of soul music's most storied rooms, the album celebrates the enduring power of Memphis music while highlighting the universal connection that great songs create, regardless of where they originate.

By the dawn of the 21st century, former Small Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan had finally gotten around to issuing his third solo album, 2000's Best of British (his previous release, Bump in the Night, had been issued 20 years earlier), as he assembled a backing group dubbed the Bump Band to accompany him on tour. One such show was recorded live on April 25, 2000, in Stuttgart, Germany, for broadcast on the Ohne Filter -- Music Pur TV program, which has been reissued for DVD as part of the ongoing In Concert series. McLagan and the Bump Band (which consists of a pair of guitarists, bass, and drums, in addition to McLagan's keys and vocals) are in fine form throughout, mixing up selections from all phases of their leader's career, including such highlights as the show-opening instrumental "Can't Be Still," as well as "I Will Follow," "Whatcha Gonna Do About It," "Cindy Incidentally," and "Warm Rain," among others.<br /><br />&copy Greg Prato /TiVo

First, you have to be lucky enough to see Johnny Rawls perform live to truly appreciate his talent. He possesses an undeniable gift for captivating an audience and building excitement—naturally, without gimmicks or flashiness—always backed by seasoned musicians who give their all while remaining slightly in the background. This quality comes through on his albums, and this release is no exception. After spending over twenty years backing soul artists, he has established himself as a leading figure on the festival circuit in Europe and the US, and as one of the artists breathing new life into the Memphis soul scene—as evidenced by his previous album, *Memphis Still Got Soul*. On this record, as on the one to follow, he pays tribute to the people who inspired him and helped him reach his current standing. This CD is sure to satisfy anyone looking to capture the essence of his live performances; it is authentic and sincere in spirit, and worlds away from the flashy, bombastic soul often produced by young artists—talented though they may be—who are manipulated by producers unwilling to grant them the creative freedom they need to flourish.

BLOSSBLUEZ creates music that appeals equally to the head, the gut, and the heart: a "soulful, funky, rocking, jazzy blues fusion"! In addition to vocals, guitar, and harmonica, the seven-piece band’s sound is shaped by its outstanding horn section. Based in Singen (Hohentwiel), the group has been active since 1980.
The seven musicians of BLOSSBLUEZ have cultivated a unique style—yet it remains blues in the truest sense, even when they perform original compositions. The band blends funk and soul elements with the blues and experiments with jazz-oriented tracks. Originally founded over 45 years ago in Freiburg, the group was revived in 2005 and now presents itself as musically mature and stylistically expanded.
BLOSSBLUEZ brings together seasoned musicians from the Lake Constance region to Freiburg; together, they explore the emotional depth of the blues and infuse it with their own personal touch.
Carlo Schultheiss (Singen) is the voice of BLOSSBLUEZ. He also plays blues harmonica and handles the Hammond organ and piano, adding a solid foundation to the band's sound.
Martin Aichele (Buchenbach near Freiburg) has played in a wide variety of groups, including a stint in Berlin with the band of blues shouter Eb Davis. He brings this wealth of experience to the band, utilizing a broad expressive range on the electric guitar.
Werner Englert (Emmendingen) is a prominent musical figure in Freiburg and the surrounding area. He enriches the band with his saxophone and flute playing, regularly captivating audiences with highly expressive improvisations. He has also received the Federal Cross of Merit for various music education projects.
Saxophonist Michael Zolg (Freiburg) was a member of the original lineup and is an outstanding soloist; he spent many years touring Europe as a professional musician. Klaus Dindorf (Pfullendorf) rounds out the band as a trombonist. An accomplished improviser, he has toured with American blues greats such as harmonica virtuoso Carey Bell.
There are few true blues bassists—musicians who specialize specifically in blues grooves—but Sebastian Lorenz (Freiburg) is one of them. When not on the road with BLOSSBLUEZ, he plays in the band of American guitarist Tino Gonzales.
Finally, Tom Wagener (Markdorf) is the quintessential blues drummer; the fact that he has accompanied blues legends like Louisiana Red, Rudy Rotta, Steve Clayton, and Carey Bell—and currently plays drums for the legendary rock band "Them"—speaks for itself.
The band frequently invites guest musicians to the stage, such as the German-American blues legend Guitar Crusher ("the big voice from New York"), with whom they toured in the autumn of 2017 and recorded the album *Cooking Live!* (Inakustik), released in 2018.
The stylistic range of BLOSSBLUEZ extends from West Coast blues to fully arranged, horn-driven urban blues. Their distinctive mix is ​​rich in tonal color, taking the audience on an exciting musical journey that appeals not only to die-hard blues fans but also to jazz listeners who appreciate interesting, expressive improvisation.

 7. Too Full Of You - 3:32
 8. Come To Mama - 3:39
 9. Rise like The Water - 3:08

Mother Of The Crossroads is Brigitte Purdy's second album, a record on which traditional blues, soul, and blues rock are given a contemporary interpretation. This distinctive interpretation is partly thanks to the great architect behind this album, producer and multi-instrumentalist Dave Osti. Brigitte Purdy, originally from Los Angeles, has been active in the music world for years. She has shared the stage with Walter Trout, Sugaray Rayford, Dionne Warwick, and Dolly Parton, among others, and provided backing vocals for The Who and Paul Rodgers. Her voice is versatile, powerful, soulful, and warm. Brigitte is an admirer of B.B. King, a mandate she gave Dave Osti, but emphatically in her own direction.
Dave Osti is no stranger; he has performed as a one-man band, released albums under the name Dirty Dave Osti, and is the owner of Grooveyard Records. He wrote all nine compositions, six of which were co-written with Brigitte Purdy, and handles the majority of the instrumentation. From guitars and piano to bass and drums: Dave puts his stamp on every song, without taking away Brigitte's role. On the contrary, his clear production creates exactly the space in which Brigitte comes into her own. Hammond player Drake Shining makes an important contribution to the album; his warm B3 tones bring an extra dimension.
Memphis Hotline:
From the opener “Sugar Fried Candy,” it becomes clear that Brigitte Purdy did not intend to make a traditional twelve-bar blues record. The solid groove, subtle guitar work, and approach give the song a fresh feel. “Blues Collar Woman” also combines blues with funk and soul, supported by a strong organ part from Drake Shining and a convincing vocal performance from Brigitte.
“Memphis Hotline” is followed by a swaying shuffle, a tribute to the birthplace of the blues, while the title track “Mother Of The Crossroads” forms the mystical heart of the record. Without falling into clichés, Brigitte sings about the rich mythology surrounding 'the Crossroads'. “Losin Time For Love” and “Too Full Of You” lean more on southern blues rock, complete with tasteful slide guitar, while “Make Love Higher” makes room for a subdued, soulful ballad. On “Come To Mama,” the tempo picks up again and Dave Osti demonstrates that he is also an excellent guitarist; the harmonica is played by Michael Fell. The closer, “Rise Like The Water,” is a song Brigitte has had in her repertoire for some time, and it convincingly rounds off the album in a powerful, almost gospel-like atmosphere. What impresses most is the natural balance between tradition and new directions that Brigitte and Dave captured. Brigitte Purdy possesses a voice that effortlessly switches between power and vulnerability, with songs that offer enough variety to keep the album interesting from start to finish. Mother Of The Crossroads is a record for lovers of modern blues rock with a strong soul heart. An album made with conviction, craftsmanship, and personality that keeps the blues genre alive.

 8. Could Have Found Grace - 2:46

Paddy Smith releases has released his album - Could Have Found Grace - a record that affirms his place as one of Ireland’s most enduring voices in blues and rock. Smith is no newcomer. A veteran of the Irish music scene, he has carried his harmonica and songs across decades of change, never losing sight of the grit and spirit that defined the tradition. Where others bend to trends, Smith holds the line for raw, unvarnished rock and blues. His music stands as proof that Ireland still produces artists who carry the weight of the past and the urgency of the present in equal measure.
The new album was sparked in collaboration with Danny Tobin. “Over three intense days, we sat together and worked through them line by line, chord by chord,” says Smith. “The process was completely organic, nothing felt forced. We trusted the songs to lead us, and in that raw, instinctive flow the album began to take shape.”
Could Have Found Grace follows on from Let Those Blues In (2013) and The Devil’s Backyard (2023, Mo Mojo Records). Across 9 tracks, Smith digs deep into stories of hardship, resilience and redemption, flanked by a heavyweight band:
Danny Tobin (guitar, The Business Blues Band);
Aongus Ralston (bass, The Waterboys);
James Delaney (keys, Van Morrison, Rory Gallagher, Chuck Berry);
Jason Duffy (drums, The Corrs).
Produced by Ivan Jackman at Hellfire Studios, Dublin, with artwork by Alfredo Kuna (Mexico), the record is as much a statement as it is an album: Paddy Smith holding the standard for the blues and rock tradition in Ireland, while carving his own place within it.

“Live From The XM Satellite” is the debut album from The Big Boy Little Band. This project was recorded at Sirius – XM Studios. Produced by Bill Wax and the Big Boy Little Band it was released by Big Train Records. The CD consist of nine tunes of which
six were written by Bret Littlehales, “Big Boy Little”, “Deer Rifle”, by Matt Kelley and a cover, “Down Home Girl”, by Leiber and Butler.
Bret Littlehales, has been around since the 1960’s playing harmonica, singing and writing blues tunes. Matt Kelley is a phenomenal 26 year old guitarist for The Big Boy Little Band. He also won the Albert King award at the 2010 International Blues Challenge in 2010. Rounding out this fine band we have Robby Leebrick pounding out
the drums and Wolf Crescenze pumping the bass line for us. This is the makings of a real fine band. The opening track on “Live From The XM Satellite” is “Shuck and Jive”. Bret Littlehales walks us into this tune with some awesome harp playing. Right away we become aware of the fact that he is a really good harmonica player. Matt Kelly’s guitar solo on this tune is also very outstanding. The lyrics from Littlehales' pen tells us that life is filled with  “shuck and jive”. While I am on this tune, I will state that Big Boy Little is one heck of harp player. He is a straight forward, no nonsense, awesome toned blues harp musician! “Shuck and Jive” is a great tune to introduce us to the Band. “Twelve Bar Blues” is just that, a tune that gets the twelve bar blues running in your mind. Matt Kelley does some outstanding guitar soloing on this song. With “one scotch, one bourbon, one beer”, in the lyrics, need I say more this is the twelve bar blues. The bass line from Wolf Crescenze and the drum line of Robby Leebrick stand out on this tune. My favorite track on “Live From The XM Satellite” may just be “Carondolet”. This tune opens with another fine harp solo by Big Boy Little. This minor keyed song just has a really eerie feeling about it. There is some voodoo going on with “Carondolet”. This tune is really good stuff. The Big Boy Little Band has done a really great job with their debut CD “Live FromThe XM Satellite”.
