Possessed of a voice of unfathomable depth and varied texture, Ellis Hooks sounds at once timeless and, as he sings on “Black Nights, Blue Moon,” out of time. The debt he owes to classic Southern soul music is obvious—for the sheer intensity of his vocals, he recalls James Carr as much as more popular influences like Otis Redding and Sam Cooke—and Godson of Soul, produced in Nashville by his songwriting collaborator Jon Tiven (who worked with Wilson Pickett), is a ragged throwback to that genre-defining sound without even a hint of a neo prefix.Godson of Soul sounds organic in the best possible sense of the word, and, of 2005’s excellent soul albums, it lacks the nagging questions of authenticity that hover over Jamie Liddell’s Multiply or the somewhat sterile retro-fetish conceit of Sharon Jones & the DAP Kings’s Naturally. The instrumentation, including contributions from legendary guitarist Steve Cropper (on “Was It Something I Said?”) and Wayne Jackson of the Memphis Horns, is truly first-rate, gritty stuff, but Tiven wisely foregrounds Hooks’s incendiary performances. The Alabama-born Hooks wails, snarls, and hollers over the course of the album’s 14 original tracks with such conviction that he’s never less than captivating. The problem, then, is that the songs themselves don’t live up to Hooks’s deliveries. References to gambling (“High Roller,” and the latter half of “Chainsaw”) and run-of-the-mill stories of love gone wrong (“Five Times,” “A Phase I’m Going Through”) mine the same territory as the classic music to which Hooks aspires without uncovering any new insights, and his lyrics are too often mired in clichéd images (“I was flirting with disaster/She was just a tease/I couldn’t see the forest/I was looking at the trees,” from “Chainsaw,” is but one offender of many).
It’s to Hooks’s credit that he makes each track sound like the most important thing he’s worked on. Still, with a style rooted in a profound understanding of the elements that have allowed Redding’s and Cooke’s work to endure, a producer and collaborator with the same perspective, and that voice, Godson of Soul nearly lives up to the implications of its title.

A true child prodigy, Hill Country blues artist Trenton Ayers started playing guitar when he was only four years old and gave his first live concert performance at the ripe old age of six. By the time he was twelve, he’d joined his first band, The Burnside Exploration, and shortly afterward embarked on his lifelong touring career.
In 2007, he joined The Electric Mudd, followed by The Muddy Trio (2008) and The Cedric Burnside Project (2011), with whom he hit the high seas as part of the legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise, heralding his first European tour. Nominated for a Grammy at age 29, he began officially endorsing Zemaitis Guitars in 2017, when he also launched Ayerskidd Nation T-Shirts, his own brand of merch.
In 2022, he was featured on the G Love and Special Sauce album Philadelphia, Mississippi, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts. Following his first self-released single (Shoulda Been My Woman), he self-released his debut album (A Father Son Legacy) in 2023.
Trenton became one of our Next Generation artists in 2024, the same year we honored him with a Lifetime Achievement Award. He attracted lots of new fans in 2025, when he performed at Telluride Blues & Brews Festival in Colorado as part of the Music Maker contingent.
Taking It to The Mountain, his first album on the Music Maker label, was recorded at the Music Maker Studios in Fountain, NC in 2025. Produced by longtime Music Maker producer Jimbo Mathus, who wrote many of the songs and coached Ayers through the process of finding his own voice, it’s a fine addition to the Music Maker catalogue that Trenton can be rightly proud of.
“I brought Trenton to Music Maker to help him create a great record that he could base a career on,” says Jimbo. “And that’s exactly what he did.” ~Cree McCree

Galen Cassidy Peria, also known as Duke Aeroplane, says he was born at a very young age somewhere far south of here.  He is a song-finder, wordsmith, filmmaker, student of the cards, histrionic, and excitable drinker. He is based in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he makes a highly regarded crawfish étouffée, plays piano for his cat, lights candles to St. Jude, reads mouldering paperback novels, and screams at televised baseball. His brings the gumbo-steeped vibe of piano legends like Fats Domino, Professor Long Hair, Jelly Roll Morton, and Dr. John to every song he renders – all with predictably powerful results.  With a virtuosic command of the piano and a voice conjured from the live oak moss-draped miasma of the Louisianan swamps, Duke Aeroplane – along with The Rumbirds – will bring some serious Mojo to Northern Vermont when they show up in town. Watch out!

Produced by Grammy-nominated producer, Kent Wells, All of Me will be released in Spring of 2018.Born with music in her soul, Nashville blues artist, Tammie Shannon, returns to a full time recording and performing career after being a young touring artist, wife, mom and business owner, who had to recover from a paralyzed vocal cord. Her first band opened for R&B Soul legend, Percy Sledge.
And when you read her story, you’ll want to listen again and again.As with all blues artists, Shannon’s lifetime of musical influences and experiences shaped her music. Growing up in Arkansas, just outside of Memphis, Shannon started singing at a young age at her church and then led her first band, accompanied by her mother. Life took a downward turn after her mother passed away and her difficult marriage ended, compelling her to focus on raising three daughters and building her life and a business to support them. In 2013, an accident left Shannon with a paralyzed right vocal chord. After a year of rehab, determination and strong encouragement from her daughter, Coco, Shannon regained the use of her voice and then decided it was time to place her vocal talents and music back into the center of her life. Today, Shannon has turned back to her music full time and is ready to share it through her  album, All of Me. Heavily influenced by Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt and Etta James, Tammie Shannon’s album tells her story of survival and empowerment.

12. All She Wants to Do Is Rock - 3:00

This disc is a portrait of a wonderfully free-spirited blues artist standing at or very near his creative summit. Raucous R&B, post-war and jump blues, shades of urban swing, a backing band as sharp and mean as a glistening straight razor - It's all right here! "Every now and then I get the chance to know that this time I'm right. I'm right in saying that some of the best singers are still unrecorded. And along comes Charles Anderson a.k.a Chizmo Charles with 12 songs done with complete heart and soul, so Charles proves me right. So, Chizmo Charles, get ready because here comes the gold and platinum awards. Your new Fan." -Ben E. King.
Singer Chizmo Charles made his recording debut as a leader on this CD, at the age of 70. What is more remarkable than his very late start is that Charles' voice could pass for 50. His versatility and the pure joy in his singing are quite appealing. Although largely a blues date, Charles also performs "Angel Eyes" quite credibly and the music ranges from swing to soul. The highlights include "Bed Bug Boogie," Elmore James' "Shake Your Moneymaker," "The Walkin' Blues," and "Bad Bad Whiskey." With fine support given by the four-piece Midnight Horns (which includes Kenny Blake on alto and tenor), a solid rhythm section, slide guitarist James Dougherty, Jr. (who wrote half of the tunes), and James King on harmonica, the singer is heard throughout in near-exuberant form. Why did it take Chizmo Charles so long to record?

TG Copperfield has long been considered one of the most tireless workaholics in the European blues, rock, and Americana scene. His enormous output over the past few years is legendary, but with his 13th solo album, "Super Raw 13," he takes his artistic consistency to the extreme. After a massive backlog of songs accumulated over the course of the year, the dam finally burst forth in an explosion of creativity and raw energy. The result is his hardest-hitting work to date—an analog and eclectic statement in a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence. The sound of "Super Raw 13" was significantly fueled by two new tools: a €200 baritone guitar and a new fuzzbox. This deliberately stripped-down, raw approach runs through the entire album, contrasting digital perfectionism with a profoundly human directness. It's music that wasn't created in a laboratory, but breathes from the moment. The album's creation is nothing short of a feat of athletic prowess: the entire work was not only recorded but also arranged live in the studio in just 13 hours. This was only possible thanks to the intuitive understanding of world-class musicians. Together with brothers Michael "Air" Hofmann on drums and Hubi Hofmann on bass, Copperfield eschewed click tracks and unnecessary embellishments. What remains is the unfiltered emotion and raw power of a genuine session, capturing the spirit of rock 'n' roll in every second. "Super Raw 13" is released as a special collector's item on limited-edition colored vinyl. An album for those who seek the authentic and know that the best music is born where the heart of rock & roll beats and real amplifiers blaze.
