The Delta Jukes are a loose configuration of veteran Mississippi blues musicians anchored by legendary Delta drummer Sam Carr. Carr is the son of bluesman Robert Nighthawk, and started out playing in his father's band alongside guitarist Frank Frost. Frost and Carr formed the Jelly Roll Kings following Nighthawk's death, adding Big Jack Johnson on guitar. When Johnson left for a solo career, and following Frost's death in 1999, Carr drafted Fred James on guitar and the group became known as the Delta Jukes. Singer/guitarist Dave Riley and singer/harmonica player John Weston round out the classic Jukes lineup. The Delta Jukes play crisp, no-frills modern Delta blues; their first album, Working for the Blues, was produced by Fred James and released in 2002. ~ Steve Leggett

Son Lewis has been an active figure on the Blues music scene for some time. His work as a modern day exponent of the Blues, and R&B, has led him to recognition as a performer and recording artist. Son began playing Blues guitar in the 1960’s, influenced greatly by artists as diverse as Robert Johnson, Hubert Sumlin (whom he accompanied on stage in December 2006), Otis Rush, and Elmore James. His own particular guitar style developed under the guidance of Blues guitarist Danny Kalb (founder of the Blues Project, a seminal Bluesband of the 1960's). Lewis' reputation has been built upon solid live solo performances and with his own SON LEWIS Blues Band, which has featured members of MINK DEVILLE, THE RICKI LEE JONES BAND, THE JITTERZ, EXUMA, IMPACT, THE VOODUDES, and CASTLE BROWNE. As a solo artist, performing the traditional country Blues, and with his band, rocking juke joints with electric blues, Son has become known as a faithful, and loving interpreter of this nearly lost musical art form. In live performance, TV, radio, and on recordings, Son Lewis has proved to audiences everywhere that the Blues is a vibrant, and exciting form of musical entertainment!

Mandalyn & The Hunters - Coffee

Bitrate:320K/s
Year:2026
Time:49:24

 5. Finesse - 4:41
 6. Who You Think You Talkin To? - 5:02
 7. Come On Easy - 5:08
 8. Dance - 3:14
 9. Witness - 6:01
10. Standing Outside Your House - 6:33

Mandalyn and the Hunters are a powerhouse blues-rock band, blending raw emotion, soulful vocals, and electrifying musicianship. Fronted by the dynamic Mandalyn, whose commanding voice and heartfelt delivery captivate audiences, the band creates an immersive sound rooted in blues tradition with a modern edge. With gritty guitar, a deep groove, and an unstoppable rhythm section, they bring an unforgettable energy to every performance. Whether on stage or in the studio, Mandalyn and the Hunters deliver music that resonates—timeless, passionate, and undeniably powerful.
This is the debut release from this five piece band from Indiana. Mandalyn Papaenagelou fronts the band on vocals, Wes Rettinger is on guitar and B/V’s, Jim Johnson keys and B/V’s, Michael Boyle on bass and Maurice ‘Moe’ Taylor on drums. The experienced rhythm section has credits with Byther Smith, Son Seals, John Primer and Ronnie Baker Brooks and Moe was the drummer on Eddy ‘The Chief’ Clearwater’s late career album, 2008’s West Side Strut on Alligator. Originally a quartet, Jim joined the band after seeing them live in 2023, after which they came in third in the IBC in 2024. This debut album is all original music, credited to the entire band.
The album opens in strange fashion, sounding as if it was recorded in a pre-gig sound check, but then builds up well with a powerful bass riff as Mandalyn suggests that they should “Meet In The Middle”, Wes pulling out a powerful solo and Jim adding some swirling organ towards the end of the song. It is immediately obvious that Mandalyn’s voice is the band’s trump card and she goes on to demonstrate her prowess across all the songs. Her strong, passionate vocals are great on “Give It Away” which has a chugging guitar riff with exciting slide flourishes overdubbed. The title cut “Coffee” is a slower tune, Jim switching to piano and Wes showing a delicate side to his playing, Mandalyn offering a more restrained vocal as she sings of needing coffee in the morning, wine later in the day.
“Please Baby” bounces along well but is rather repetitive while “Finesse” belies its title with heavy wah-wah and funk. Things look up with the next song, an uptempo shuffle but more melodic with the keys to the fore as Mandalyn reproaches someone as she asks “Who You Think You Talkin’ To with a tone like that?”. Mandalyn sounds sultry on “Come On Easy”, the whole band catching the mood with guitar, piano and rhythm section locked in perfectly. It is hard to stay still to the strong bass line on “Dance” before what may be the key track here, “Witness”. This is a slow burn tune, Jim’s elegant piano bringing in Mandalyn with a powerful vocal that uses some of the lyrics to “Can I Get A Witness”, Wes’s slide further raising the stakes. The tune runs to six minutes, the final minute or so a gospel rave-up. The final track is another longer cut, a soulful ballad entitled “Standing Outside Your House”; Mandalyn again sounds terrific on this one, her voice strong but full of emotion too.
This is an enjoyable debut with four particularly good songs delivered by a strong vocalist backed by a solid band – check it out.

Formed in Seattle, and currently based in London, the trio are led by Ben Todd, a fingerpicking guitarist who has spent time living in a shack in the New Mexico desert. Alone in the Gila Wilderness, Ben learned how to play old blues and banjo tunes from vintage and traditional recordings.”
