"Nobody Told Me", the new studio album from Blues Hall of Fame member, John Mayall, boasts an impressive and diverse list of guest guitarists, all personal favorites of Mayall’s including Todd Rundgren, Little Steven Van Zandt of The E Street Band, Alex Lifeson from Rush, Joe Bonamassa, Larry McCray and Carolyn Wonderland who will be joining the band on tour. Also, on hand are Mayall’s dynamic Chicago rhythm section of Greg Rzab on bass guitar and Jay Davenport on drums, along with Billy Watts (Lucinda Williams) on rhythm guitar and Mayall’s regular horn section, moonlighting from their day job in The Late Show with Conan O’Brien’s house band. The album was produced by Mayall and Forty Below Records founder Eric Corne at The Foo Fighters’ Studio 606 on the same legendary Sound City Neve console his one-time protégés from Fleetwood Mac used to record the best-selling Rumors album.  Iconic musician and Blues Hall of Fame member John Mayall presents Nobody Told Me; he’s also celebrating his 85th birthday before the release of the album in February 2019.The 10-track LP features guest appearances from Alex Lifeson, Todd Rundgren and Steven Van Zandt, among others. It was recorded at the Foo Fighters’ Studio 606 and co-produced by Mayall and Eric Corne, founder of Forty Below Records, which is releasing the LP. The record follows 2017’s Talk About That and Three For the Road. “All my records are fun to make,” he told AllAboutJazz.com in March. “It’s very important to get it just right and have everything just where you want it to be. Once you record them and put them out, they’re out there forever.” He added that Nobody Told Me, which was at that point untitled, would be a “nice treat for the guitar freaks.”
Earlier this year, Mayall added guitarist Carolyn Wonderland to his band, which had been a trio featuring bassist Greg Rzab and Jay Davenport.  “I felt it was time to once again feature the fire of an electric guitar,” he said on his website. “This will be quite a historic move forward in that I have never before had a female lead guitarist in any of my numerous band lineups. She will make her powerful presence felt.”

Blues rock virtuoso Gary Clark Jr. has officially announced This Land, his upcoming third studio album and the follow-up to 2015’s The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim. Out March 1st, the 15-track LP was recorded at Austin’s Arlyn Studios and features everything from “Prince-like epics” to “dub-reggae jams” (via Rolling Stone). The lead single and title track, however, falls more in line with the searing rock n’ roll we’ve come to expect and eagerly anticipate from Clark. Built on top of burning licks and a rickety groove, “This Land” stomps and snarls before washing out into a blurry-edged guitar solo. Lyrically, Clark breaks new ground by delivering a damning indictment of the racism he’s experienced in his life, set to a hook he heard rallied against him during his youth growing up in Texas: “Nigga run, nigga run/ Go back where you come from.” Speaking to Rolling Stone about the subject matter, Clark said, “I think it’s only right at this point in time, if you have a microphone louder than others, to speak out about that anger.” Listen and watch the symbolism-filled video directed by Savanah Leaf below. Clark followed the announcement of the new album by performing the single and another new song entitled “Feed The Babies” Stephen Colbert. The latter is a brass-indented soul number that takes place at the smooth upper edges of Clark’s range, and Colbert’s house-band Jon Batiste and Stay Human joined Clark for the rendition.

CD " Live". Aka Cuby & the Blizzard, Harry Muskee Band, Muskee's Gang, and here simply as "Muskee".
In 1980, Harry started playing with pick-up bands under the name The Muskee Gang. Former C+B members Eelco Gelling, Hans Lafaille (dr, ex-Sweet d'Buster), Herman Deinum, Ruud van Dijk (s, ex-Flash & Dance Band and Farrago) and Bas Munniksma (s, ex-Human Orchestra) were all members that year as were Jan Holder (tr) and Cees v.d. Laarse (b, ex-Jan Akkerman, to Tao).
When Eelco Gelling permanently joined The Freelance Band, Harry Muskee assembled the following touring band: Hans Lafaille (dr), Lou Leeuw (b), Paul Smeenk (g, ex-Sweet d'Buster), Ruud van Dijk (s) and Jeff Reynolds (tr). The latter tragically died in a traffic accident while touring with the band and was replaced by Peter Kuyt (ex-Massada). The band released the album “The Legend” (dominated by Smeenk’s funky songs) with an accompanying TV documentary.
When in 1984 first Paul Smeenk (who left the music business) and then Hans Lafaille and Lou Leeuw quit, Harry Muskee decided to drop the horn section and get in new musicians. The Gang was joined by Gino Jansen (b, ex-Fox the Fox), Gert-Jan de Valk (d), replaced by Hannes Langkamp (also ex-Fox the Fox), and David Gardeur (kb). The shock surprise was that Eelco Gelling returned to the fold. In 1985, they added Melle-Jan Kleinsma as second guitarist. During the recordings of “Rimshots In The Dark” in the Spring of 1986, Gelling and Kleinsma were fired because of substance abuse in the studio. They then formed The Blues Connection. This was the end of the 25-year collaboration between Muskee and Gelling. Erwin Java (ex-Wild Honey and Wild Romance) was called in as a stand-in, but he has stayed with Harry Muskee to this day. In 1990, the band name was shortened to Muskee with Harry, Erwin, Gino, Hannes and Roy Kushel (kb). The CD  "Live" and "Cut de luxe" was released, from which the single “Brother Booze” got a lot of airplay.

The band also features a killer rock and blues guitarist, Ike Lamb (also formerly with Watermelon Slim’s band), and the soulful vocals and harmonica of lead vocalist Eric “Dirty Red” McDaniel. In January 2018, Dirty Red & The Soul Shakers represented Oklahoma at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee, and made it into the semi-finals. Touring North America and Europe in 2019, the band performs original songs and the classics. They include blues giants like Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Junior Wells and Little Walter among their influences.

Tiffany Ann Pollack is a product of the musical mecca known as New Orleans. At an earlier age Pollack began to write songs and sing. Her first professional gig was singing background vocals for Russell Batiste & Friends. She eventually formed her own band Beaucoup Crasseux. Her performing career fizzled and Tiffany studied mortuary science. After the birth of her third child she returned to her music career. She now sings with her own jazz band Tiffany Pollack and Co.
Eric Johanson was recognized as a soulful blues guitarist while still in high school. He’s been the lead guitarist for both Cyril Neville and Terrance Simien. In 2017 Johanson released “Burn It Down” on Tab Benoit’s Whiskey Bayou Records. In 2018 New Orleans’ Offbeat Magazine nominated “Burn It Down” as the “Best Blues Album of 2018”. Pollack had been adopted at birth. She was reunited with her biological parents when she was twenty-five. Always having music in her soul she learned that her mother, Margaret, plays bass and sings in a jazz band. As luck would have it her aunt, Margaret’s sister, was the mother of Johanson. So Pollack and Johanson discovered they were first cousins and after years of having their mothers edge them to work together, finally united for this project. The eleven tracks feature seven originals written or co-written by Pollack and Johanson. Also contributing to four of the songs is the Grammy nominated and Emmy winning producer Jack Miele. Miele’s production credits include Steve Riley and The Mamou Playboys, Dr. John, Irma Thomas, Erykah Badu, The Rebirth Brass Band, The Roots, Jill Scott, Beyonce and countless others. The album is engineered and mixed by Miele at The Music Shed Studios in New Orleans. The album is co-produced by Brentt Arcement.  Six tracks are recorded with a band including Miele, bass, additional guitar and percussion; and Arcement, drums, organ, piano and percussion. The title track includes John Gros on organ. “Memories to Forget” features Johnny Sansone on harmonica. The brass of the 504 Horns helps complete the production on “Michael” with a beautiful solo from Johanson. “River” is the Joni Mitchell classic. Vocalists Pollack and Johanson sing beautifully as their voices perfectly complement one another.  Five more songs feature a band lineup with Phil Wang replacing Miele on bass; and Gros playing both organ and piano. Included are three more specially selected covers. Nina Simone’s “Do I Move You”; Pollack singing a beautiful version of the Rolling Stones “No Expectations”; and a wonderfully re-arranged duet on “If I Had A Hammer”, originally recorded by the Weavers and popularized by Peter, Paul and Mary. Both Pollack and Johanson are seasoned veterans. They bring a roots based approach to their blues while still reflecting the rich musical heritage of New Orleans.

Veronique Gayot, la chanteuse blues-rock francaise, est unique! C’est un concentre d’energie comme on en trouve rarement. Sa voix est unique, reconnaissable entre toutes. Son expressivite ressemble a celle d’un chat sauvage. Elle est forte et directe mais neanmoins vulnerable. Elle chante comme si une seule vie ne suffisait pas. Sa voix sauvage et indomptee peut varier entre les doux ronronnements d’un petit chat et les cris et hurlements que certains critiques comparent au chanteur du groupe Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant.
Sur scene Veronique occupe chaque recoin de l’espace et c’est la qu’elle se sent comme a la maison! Authentique et avec une profondeur reelle, elle emmene le spectateur dans un tourbillon d’emotions. Le public la suit avec enthousiasme dans ce voyage.
Veronique Gayot a quelque chose a vous dire! Ses chansons varient entre le Blues et le Rock, sans oublier des ballades, dans le style du debut des annees 70. Le tout arrange avec des sons tres modernes. Pour son nouvel album elle a travaille en etroite collaboration avec le producteur allemand Timo Gross qui, lui aussi, est une bete de scene depuis de nombreuses annees. Elle a ecrit 10 chansons qui parlent de toutes les richesses et les abimes qui font partie de la vie! Des titres comme « Sinner », « Revolution » et «Asylum » annoncent la couleur.

Veronique Gayot est une artiste vraie! Elle ne s’est jamais compromise. Bien sur une femme comme elle ne tombe pas du ciel. Elle a vecu, intensement, eleve un enfant. Elle a chante dans l’ombre du succes avec des musiciens de tous les genres. Elle n’est jamais devenue lisse et son moteur n’est pas la celebrite mais la curiosite et la quete d’un developpement authentique.
Pour completer le portrait de Veronique Gayot, il faut aussi parler de sa deuxieme passion: les Beaux Arts. On retrouve dans ses tableaux et ses sculptures la meme expression sauvage et indomptee que dans ses chansons.
Soyez curieux et venez decouvrir Veronique et son groupe sur scene a partir du mois d’avril 2018. Elle sera en tournee avec son nouvel album « Wild Cat » a partir du mois de septembre 2018.

Absolutely The Best is nothing but a fascinating and raucous array of fun songs from the last truly unselfconscious blues moaners. The songs emphasize the wild good times and the karmic payback of surviving the rough-and-tumble life of a bluesman. Little Freddie King is a national treasure at 79 and the last of the New Orleans blues musician still playing in the U.S and abroad. Kings music preserves the country-style delta blues as tradition and embodies a major artistic shift of the twentieth century: the rural-to-urban blues migration. His cheerfulness in the face of adversity, his commitment to community after Katrina and his boundless energy onstage are reasons why New Orleans and the World loves His Royal Highness. This compilation includes tracks from his releases in this millennium including his album on Fat Possum Records.

There’s a dark intimacy to Gurf  Morlix’s albums. They can be so spooky and real that you’d swear he’s in the same room with you. It’s inevitably a haunting experience. Yet, having survived a scary heart attack a few years ago, his take on mortality with this, his tenth solo recording, offers more slivers of light (there’s even a song with that name here). The blues can provide healing power which sustains him throughout. And, more than ever Morlix takes a deep dive into blues, his favorite idiom, on Impossible Blue. If, by some chance, you are unfamiliar with Morlix, you have most likely heard him as the producer for Lucinda Williams, the guiding light for Ray Wylie Hubbard and folks like Slaid Cleaves and Mary Gauthier. He’s a tremendous guitarist and multi-instrumentalist who graces many albums from roots artists. He was Blaze Foley’s musical partner for years. His modest approach to songwriting can be traced to his many years as a producer and sideman but put that misplaced modesty aside.  Morlix arrived as a songwriter several years ago. It’s only now that he’s finally acknowledged it. Joined as usual by his frequent collaborator, drummer Rick Richards and fellow Austinites, the acclaimed Red Young on B3 and Jaimee Harris with beautiful female harmonies, Morlix handles the vocals and rest of the instruments for these nine original songs.  Morlix considers these nine songs to be “the best songs I’ve ever written.” Morlix’s albums are as pristinely recorded as any you’ll hear because he is a perfectionist. He brings that same level of scrutiny to his songwriting  and you be assured that you’ll understand every single word. Better yet, he’s blessed it. That hasn’t always been the case. We’re going to start with the last song. Take “Backbeat of the Dispossessed,” a haunted bittersweet eulogy to a clearly departed friend, in this case his dear friend from his native Buffalo, drummer Michael Bannister. Morlix sings “I always knew I would see you again” – until he learned of Bannister’s unfortunate suicide. On previous albums he’s memorialized Foley in a similar way. Perhaps combined with his own near brush with death, these thoughts give him a greater strength. Speaking of the heart attack, he says, “I think the main thing I took away from all that is that I realize that every day is a bonus day. I’m living on bonus time now, and I’m just very aware of that, every day. Basically, I’m just in love with life more than ever now. Because here it is, and I might not have been here, but…here I am.”  These thoughts are put to lyrics in “My Heart Keeps Pounding” – “My head is throbbin’/My world keeps wobblin’/All the alarms are soundin’/Bu my heart keeps poundin’”. The optimism of “Sliver of Light,” about driving to his next gig, is quickly offset by his trademark darkness in “I’m a Ghost” and two songs later, a man mourning for a drowned lover at the “Bottom of the Musquatch River.” It’s all deep blues, none more so than the jealous heartbreak recounted in “I Saw You.” He even does as most bluesmen would do, fire up a lengthy guitar solo in “Spinnin’ Planet Blues,” one of only three songs where the iconic Red Young accompanies on B3, clearly pushing Morlix. Morlix is one adult dose. His brutal honesty and raw approach may not be universally appealing but he’s undeniably a force. This could well be his best album, but it won’t be his last. . As he sings in 2 Hearts Beatin’ in Time” – “There’s a bit more I want to do/I left unfinished a thing or two”  Since Morlix is making the most of “Bonus time” we can gladly look forward to more too.

Captain Tom’s is een studio in Aberdeen waar het tweede album van het Schotse viertal Gerry Jablonski and The Electric Band werd opgenomen.
Onder aanvoering van Gerry Jablonski (gitaar/zang) krijgen we 70 minuten lang energieke blues/rock voorgeschoteld zoals die werd gemaakt eind jaren 60 van de vorige eeuw. Inspiratiebronnen zijn o.a. Paul Kossoff, Clapton, Page en Peter Green.
Opzienbarend is het krachtige mondharmonica spel van Peter Narojczyk, een groot talent die met fantastische solo’s tegenwicht geeft aan de gitaar van Jablonski.
De optredens van de band krijgen goede kritieken, hoog tijd dat Jablonski en co. eens op het vaste land van Europa zijn te zien.
