In 2007, Ross Neilsen had an epiphany. He quit his job, left his relationship, moved out of his house and into his car. Neilsen spent the next two years couch surfing and began the never ending tour schedule that he would become known for throughout Canada. The road honed his craft into a well-oiled machine of stories and song. Music has taken Ross throughout Canada, Mexico, The Olympics, The Pan Am Games, The Hill Country region of Mississippi, The Swampy rivers of Louisiana and even to Macon, Georgia where he was privileged to play the holy grail of blues, rock and soul: Duane Allman’s 1957 Les Paul Gold Top. Ross Neilsen has released ten recordings, performed over 2000 concerts, driven more than a million kilometers and has toured Canada 18 times. Neilsen has been honoured with multiple nominations at The Maple Blues Awards including Songwriter of the Year in 2017, two Rising Star nominations from CBC, back to back Blues Album of the Year nominations from the East Coast Music Association, over half a dozen nominations for MusicNB awards, including wins for Best Blues Recording (Redemption 2010 and The Shack Up Sessions 2013). In 2012 Ross was chosen as a semifinalist in the solo/duo category at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN/
2014 found Ross Studying at Camp Copperhead under the tutelage of Steve Earle. The time at Camp Copperhead proved invaluable and gave Ross an entirely new approach to songwriting. After nine years of non-stop-touring (over 2000 shows) in clubs, homes and festivals throughout Canada, Neilsen finally left the road for a much needed break. Neilsen used the break to write new material. In early 2016, Neilsen returned to the studio to cut his sixth studio album with Juno winning team of, Producer Steve Marriner (MonkeyJunk) and ace engineer, Ken Friesen (Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo). Elemental was released in September of 2016 and has received much critical appraise and airplay around the world. 
Although he is now raising his family in Saskatoon, you can still find Neilsen performing throughout Canada in a variety of concert styles. Be it with his solo show or power house band, Neilsen is still out there telling tall tales and melting faces with his signature finger style guitar displays and troubadour song stylings.

Bassist/Producer Mick Stover was a founding member of the legendary LA Blues Rockers “BB Chung King and the Buddaheads, a band with which he toured Japan, the US, and Canada, sharing bills with Johnny Winter, Pat Travers, Great White, Robin Trower & the great BB King. Onstage he has performed with many of today’s great guitar heroes, such as Slash, Ernie Isley, CC DeVille, Dweezil Zappa, Philip Sayce & Joe Bonamassa.During his storied career, Mick made friends with countless Rock & Blues players, and when he founded his Gentlemen’s Blues Club in 2005, he invited a number of his old associates to join up. Besides ex-band-mate BB Chung King (a.k.a. Alan Mirikitani), he also recruited longtime friend “Dirty” Dave Osti, another ace guitarist/vocalist, and another dozen or so elite-class Blues Rockers. This array of formidable inner-circle musicians include keyboardist Teddy ZigZag (Guns n Roses, Alice Cooper, Slash), drummer David Raven (Iggy Pop, Keith Richards), as well as guitarists Philip Sayce (Melissa Ethridge, Jeff Healey. Uncle Kracker), Frank Simes (Don Henley, Mick Jagger, Roger Daltrey, David Lee Roth).
Their 1st album, Shotgun Wedding, was released to critical acclaim and was embraced by radio audiences in Europe & North America. Bolstered by this success, Mick & GBC issued their 2007 sophomore effort, entitled Longhorn Honeymoon. Riding the wave of their booming popularity, in 2008 Mick & the boys came out with Red White and Blue!, featuring the powerful Biker-anthem, Harley Davidson® Red White and Blue.We at Music Avenue Records thought it was about time we introduced Mick Stover & his Gentlemen’s Blues Club to the rest of the world, while also helping the band to reach a greater audience in North America and Europe by offering them improved marketing and distribution. Complimenting these exciting album is a compelling and unforgettable live show. From the initial licks of the opening intro riff to the emotional climax of the inevitable encore, each Gentlemen’s Blues Club concert is a no-holds-barred celebration of Blues-Rock energy. Every time they perform, GBC makes good on their promise to put on a high-energy, jaw-dropping, take-no-prisoners performance that leaves audiences proclaiming “These Gentlemen kick ass!”

The album, Old School Thang from Billy Hector is slathered in blues and quite the listen. Hector dishes out his songs in a variety of formats, ranging from traditional and swampy, to trans-blues.
“She’s Gone”, a great track to open with, grabs me with the smooth Santana-influenced guitar licks. It sounds so good, especially with the accompaniment by David Nunez on organ, and the horn section made up of Tommy Labella and Steve Jankowski. Hector breaks out the big guns and totally nails down a cover of Don Nix’s “Goin’ Down” in a tribute to Freddie King. The musicianship is nothing less than phenomenal. This is what the blues is all about. I love the funky rhythm on title track, “Old School Thang”. If Prince decided to cross over to the blues, I think this is very close to what it would sound like. I have to mention the awe-inspiring drums provided by Sim Cain, which made me think of the late great Chuck Ruff who played drums on the iconic song, Edgar Winter’s “Frankenstein”. “Rita”, a despairing and tragic tune which seems to fall in the same wheelhouse as the music of Tom Waits, has a nifty way of getting stuck in my head. For the finale, Hector closes out “People of the World”, a tasty treat full of groovy jams coated with organ and horns. Funky repetitive grooves reminiscent of the trans-blues music of Otis Taylor, keep this one going for eight minutes. Every song on Old School Thang is a winner. This album comes highly recommended.

Billy Hector has been one of the top blues players in NJ for many years and this CD is a fine example of his talent as a guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. "Stop Dogging Me `Round" gives you a taste of the genuine original blues Hector is capable of; filled with just the right mix of anger and despair. "Big Boy Now" with the great start of "You walked into the room baby with your zima your pleather and tie-dyed hair" gives his vocals a work out and then the guitar just takes off, this guy can play. He acquits himself on the covers well, but it's the originals that just catch you. Even when he misses like on cuts like "Dealin' With the Devil" with his overwrought contempt for "How the rich get rich," it's at least an interesting miss. If you're a fan of the blues, do yourself a favor and give this one a listen.

Hector, who grew up in Orange, NJ, got his first taste of the blues from the Rolling Stones, whose blues-inflected rock led him back to bluesmen Muddy Waters and T-Bone Walker. From there, he discovered the more experimental rock edge of guitarists Roy Buchanan and Jimi Hendrix. After playing with several rock bands in high school and studying for two years at William Patterson College in New Jersey in the mid-'70s, he moved to Asbury Park, NJ, to become part of the burgeoning music scene there. Bruce Springsteen and Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes had already gained national attention at the Stone Pony club in Asbury Park, and in the wake of their success, Hector began playing guitar with the horn-driven Shots, which had replaced the Jukes as the house band at the Stone Pony. Hector felt too much in the background in the Shots, so he decided to move on. He joined the band Hot Romance, which became the house band at Mrs. Jay's, a biker bar next to the Stone Pony, in Asbury Park. By the mid-'80s, he formed the Fairlanes, a blues-rock group (featuring his wife as its lead singer) that broke before the popularity of Stevie Ray Vaughan. They recorded Hit the Road in 1987 and All the Way Live in 1989 for his label Blue Jersey. Discovering that other bands in the U.S. shared the same band name, Hector decided to drop it and started calling his group the Billy Hector Band. In 2000, Hector took hold of two golden opportunities. He performed with Sonny Landreth at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in tribute to Delta bluesman Robert Johnson for footage in the film documentary Hellhounds on My Trail. He also shared the stage there with Bonnie Raitt in a "Tribute to Muddy Waters."

HowellDevine is an American blues trio, formed in 2011, and based in the San Francisco Bay Area. They have released five albums: Delta Grooves (2012), Jumps, Boogies & Wobbles (2013), Modern Sounds of Ancient Juju (2014), Howl (2017) and Strange Time Blues (2022) . Both Jumps, Boogies & Wobbles and Modern Sounds of Ancient Juju were released by Arhoolie Records. Jumps, Boogies & Wobbles was the first time Arhoolie had chosen to release a blues album in almost three decades. After Smithsonian Folkways Recordings acquired Arhoolie's catalog in 2016, the label stopped issuing new recordings, and seeking to stretch the boundaries of their sound, the band signed with the Little Village Foundation label in 2017 and released Howl, recorded at Kid Andersen’s Greaseland Studios. The group consists of Joshua Howell on vocals, harmonica, and guitar; Pete Devine on drums and other percussion, and Joe Kyle Jr. on bass. Their music is mainly rooted in the Delta Blues and Hill country blues of Mississippi. Each of their albums feature a mix of original compositions, traditional blues songs, and covers of songs composed or popularized by early blues artists, though not usually those artists’ most familiar work. Among HowellDevine's own compositions are longer, fast tempo numbers, as well as one in which the harmonica and rhythm section evoke steam locomotives that brought the early Southern blues musicians north.

The brainchild of ex-Rockats guitarist Tim Scott (b. Tim Scott McConnell), who released several solo records for Geffen Records in the early 80s. The Havalinas was formed from the remnants of several high energy Los Angeles, California, USA-based guitar combos, and included Scott’s former Rockats colleague Smutty Smith on bass, and drummer Charlie ‘Chalo’ Quintana drums. Disillusioned with rock, the trio fused traditional folk instruments such as banjo, mandolin, flute and dobro, with a belligerent street-wise approach, that also drew on influences as diverse as Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams. Released in 1990, their debut album, produced by Don Gehman (R.E.M., John Mellencamp), was a shambolic, yet riveting set that dealt with contemporary socio-political ills. Their Guns N’Roses persona won them few friends on the folk scene.

In the world of blues critics, guitarist, singer, and songwriter John Mooney has long been a favorite. That's because he takes all he learned from classic Delta bluesmen like Son House and others and modernizes their stylings while adding his own unique stamp to classic Delta blues tunes. Even his original songs, often autobiographical, are steeped in the classic blues tradition. Mooney divides his time between residences in Florida and New Orleans, and usually works with a simple guitar-bass-drums trio known as Bluesiana. His vocals are powerful and inspired, and his guitar playing is often loud and electric, but so steeped in the style of House and others classic Delta bluesman, that he transcends generations in the blues idiom. Growing up in Rochester, New York, Mooney took to the guitar as a ten-year-old and quickly became obsessed with the instrument, initially learning to play tunes by the Beatles and Rolling Stones. When he was 11, a neighbor who worked at WHAM, a Rochester radio station, gave Mooney some recordings by Scrapper Blackwell and Robert Johnson. These recordings turned his head and life around and he soon discovered other great bluesmen, including Muddy Waters, Freddie King, Albert King, and B.B. King. Collecting, repairing, and playing National Steel resophonic guitars became his obsession. He began his professional performing career at 13, at first playing many shows with Rochester area blues guitarist Joe Beard. By his mid-teens, Mooney had worked out a few Son House tunes on his guitar, using his slide. House had moved to Rochester to "retire," but one day Beard suggested that he get Mooney over to House's residence. "Joe said to me, ‘You play so much Son House, you really ought to meet him,' so he introduced us. I was 16 at the time. Son and I would get together at his house. At his house, you couldn't play blues; we'd have to go outside or do a gig in a club somewhere. Even if his wife wasn't there, he still wouldn't play blues in the house."
Mooney left Rochester in 1973 and hitch-hiked his way across the country or hopped freight trains to get to California, Arizona, and Texas. He finally settled in New Orleans in 1976 and a year later, by the spring of 1977, he was playing the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, which was then getting off the ground. Blind Pig released Mooney's debut album, Comin' Your Way in February, 1979, and he's been actively recording ever since. His other releases include Late Last Night for Bullseye/Rounder in 1980, Telephone Blues in 1984 for Powerhouse Records, and Telephone King in 1991 for the same label, run by D.C.-area blues-rock guitarist Tom Principato. His other albums include Testimony (1992, Domino), Sideways in Paradise (with Jimmy Thackery, Blind Pig, 1993); Travelin' On (1995, CrossCut); Dealing with the Devil (1995, Ruf Records) Against the Wall (1996, House of Blues); Gone to Hell (2000, Blind Pig); All I Want (2002, Blind Pig) and Big Ol' Fiya (2006, Live Music Lives). Mooney continues to tour the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Australia. Anyone who's seen him can tell you how powerful his trio concerts are.

Matt Leddy & The Meat Cutters occupy a unique place in the annals of modern Texas Blues. On May 14, 1999, The Meat Cutters performed their first show at Silky's Blues Bar on Houston's historical Washington Avenue. That night's lineup included Matt Leddy (guitar and vocals), 13 year-old Matt Borger (drums), Erich Dolch (guitar) and Brock Proctor (bass). The name, The Meat Cutters can be attributed to one of Matt Leddy's friends from California, who decided that Matt needed an official blues handle, and dubbed him The Meat Cutter. Tony Vega made the name public. The rest is history. Since their inception on Washington Avenue that steamy night in May of 1999, The Meat Cutters have worked non-stop, playing nearly 200 shows each year, and opening for such blues luminaries as W.C. Clark, Mike Morgan, Rod Piazza, Smokin' Joe Kubek, Anson Funderburgh, Guy Forsythe, Burt Wills, Bugs Henderson, Kenny Neal, Omar and The Howlers, Texas Johnny Brown, Jake Van Wilks, Iron Butterfly, The Marshall Tucker Band, and Jimmie Vaughan, along the way.Throughout their history, The Meat Cutters have maintained a reputation for excellent musicianship and great entertainment, earning them the title of Houston's Best Blues Band (texasbluesmusic.com) in 2002 and Texas' Best Blues Band (Real Blues Magazine) in 2003. Such success can be attributed to Matt Leddy's enduring policy of hiring outstanding musician's, who's primary motivation for playing is their passion for the blues, who possess outstanding work ethics, and who sacrifice their individual needs for the overall interests of the band. The current line-up continues this incomparable tradition, as Matt Leddy (guitar, vocals), Dave Carter (guitar, vocals), Dave Angell (drums, vocals) and R.J. Korner (bass, vocals), collaborate to produce the Meat Cutter's famous Texas Roadhouse Sound!

The renewed "full Belgian" line-up bears solid letters of nobility and an impressive pedigree: Blues Lee, Howlin'Bill, Rhythm Bombs, Fried Bourbon, Jim Cofey, Hideaway ... just to name a few. Travellin'is not in the name by chance, these five gentlemen worked with their respective bands all over Europe. You could find them on festival stages in Norway, Sweden, Poland, Germany, France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain. And of course, in every corner of Belgium and the Netherlands.  And now there's the album "Bending The Rules", the synthesis of the passion and ability of five gentlemen who have nothing more to prove.

When Bonnie Raitt was dreaming up Just Like That..., her first album in six years, she had a very specific mission in mind: Record the songs she’s always wanted to, and especially the most soulful, funky ones she could find. “I always got my ear cocked for either old soul chestnuts or some obscure album cut off of an artist that I haven't listened to for a while,” she told Apple Music's Zane Lowe. “I'm just always hunting.”  Some of the songs are covers or tributes inspired by other artists: She fell in love with The Bros. Landreth’s “Made Up Mind”, the album’s lead-off track, when the band opened for her on tour in 2014, while Al Anderson of NRBQ’s “Something’s Got a Hold of My Heart” has been stuck in her head for three decades. Others, like the album’s title track, are new compositions inspired by the legendary singer-songwriter’s own favourite songs and songwriters.
“I knew that this time when I wrote, I wanted to write from a third-person point of view,” Bonnie Raitt said. “Either a short story or something that moved me out in the world from somebody else's life story, because I'd really mined a lot of my own personal life. I'd pretty much covered all the members of my family, my relationships, and I just loved story songs, and I hadn't done one except for a song called 'All at Once' that I did years ago. I love John Prine's 'Angel From Montgomery' and 'Donald and Lydia', and I love the music of early Dylan, the first few albums where it's just him fingerpicking in a voice unadorned. I wanted a song to tell as a very simple story.”
“Just Like That” is both simple and not, in that it touches on deep love, painful truth and devastating loss—all things that Raitt felt acutely as she worked on the album over the course of the trauma and furious change she witnessed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. “It's hard to separate the last couple of years' COVID experience from the nightmare of the election cycle, and the polarity, hostility and viciousness that's become what our country's climate is,” she says. “I just wasn't expecting that in this lifetime. It gave me a purpose. I knew that we eventually were going to either get back on the road or I was going to get in the studio, so it felt healing to have something to focus on and pull those songs together and know that people are hurting out there. And I can't wait to get on the road—not just to support my band and crew and the groups that I support, but to have some fun again and bring some light.”

The veteran Americana musicians honor the past, and shake it up.
No matter the genre, tribute albums tend toward the reverent, as if the musicians and singers doing the saluting don’t want to appear even remotely disrespectful toward their subjects. Thankfully, that’s not the case with his overdue reunion of Americana veterans Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder, who first worked together in the cult band the Rising Sons in the Sixties but haven’t made a full album together since. In its title, cover art, and some of its songs, Get on Board replicates the 1952 Folkways album by blues harp master Sonny Terry and his longtime collaborator, guitarist Brownie McGhee (with percussionist Coyal McMahan also aboard for that project). That record was a set of stomping unplugged blues that felt spontaneous and casual. Mahal and Cooder, who alternate vocals and fretted instruments throughout, extend that mood; starting with their weathered voices, the music feels intimate and lived in, the sound of two old friends jamming away in a small room. But because they also want to romp things up, what could have been a tasteful salute becomes a record that’s bristlingly, viscerally alive; it’s like a ride in a classic old car with long-gone shock absorbers. Starting with their version of “My Baby Done Changed the Lock on the Door” (which Terry cut on a different album), Cooder and Mahal—joined by Cooder’s son Joachim on bass and drums—dig into the music. Next to the original version, their backbeat is harder, the music just a little bit gnarlier. There’s nothing dainty or prim about it.That joyful-racket mood continues for the duration of the album, as the three men pay homage to Terry and McGhee’s expansive version of Piedmont blues. A version of the traditional “What a Beautiful City” feels like a gospel sermon, and “Deep Sea Diver” is turned into a saucy piano shuffle (let’s just say that it isn’t about underwater adventures). The sacred, the sinful and even the silly co-exist: Hamming it up through the playful “Cornbread, Peas and Molasses,” which Terry and McGhee co-wrote, you can literally hear Mahal and Ry Cooder cracking either other up as they’re playing.Given what institutions these men have become, this is music with both nothing at stake and yet everything at the same time. Terry and McGhee’s version of “Packing Up and Getting Ready to Go” was jaunty, but Mahal and the Cooders made it foreboding and ominous. Like the rest of the album, it could have been a yawner of a museum piece, but this song, and this museum, is at the end of a deserted country road, with unsettling noises emanating from the woods around it. In the highest compliment, Terry and McGhee probably would have been honored—and freaked out at the same time.

Guitar virtuoso Scott Holt first came to national prominence as part of various high energy bands led by legendary Chicago blues guitarist and singer Buddy Guy. He was just 23 when Guy took him under his wing and taught him how to travel intelligently while accommodating the rigorous nature of blues touring. Holt stayed with Guy on the road and in the recording studio for a decade, earning his post-graduate education with one of the true blues guitar masters. Holt was raised in Tennessee, and hearing Jimi Hendrix for the first time proved to be a revelatory moment in his life. His parents bought him a guitar for Christmas when he was 12. Like a lot of kids, he took piano lessons, because he had to, but he quit after six months. He didn't get serious about playing the instrument until he was 19, when his parents bought him an electric ..

It wasn't a love affair gone sour or the woes of picking cotton under a hot Mississippi sun that drew Ralph Shine to the blues. Rather, it was the magical sound of a miked harp being played by Harmonica Fats at a concert in Chico State's North Gym in the late 60's. "He was a big ol' guy with a three-piece suit," Shine remembered. "In every pocket of the suit he had a harmonica of a different key. And he knew which key was in which pocket. I had never heard a harmonica being played through a microphone before and, man, I was just blown away."
Like most blues harp players, Shine learned his craft on his own, by ear. "There was really nobody to teach you back then. You just had to listen to albums and learn to relate the sounds you got on the instrument with the ones being played. It took me a couple of years to get the hang of it." While in high school, Shine bought every blues album he could get his hands on: anything by Little Walter, Paul Butterfield, James Cotton, and the early J. Geils, featuring Magic Dick on harmonica. Shine tried to pattern his singing after Freddie King's nasty-sounding, pure blues voice. "I consider myself a blues interpreter," he said. "Most of the best blues songs were written back in the '30's and '40's. The black people back then who wrote the blues lived the blues." And the blues is what Ralph Shine continued to play. "Ralph Shine is inventive, tonal, traditional, and above all inspired." —- Tom Mazzolini, San Francisco Blues Festival

Mercy Me is guitarist Ronnie Earl's 28th album, and his 14th for Canada's Stony Plain. Earl is a consummate master of tone -- he has never used an effects pedal. Many blues guitarists are fine soloists, but Earl is more than that: he's a true stylist and improviser who has perhaps more in common with jazz musicians though he remains willfully bound to his vocation as a bluesman. He is backed by longtime band the Broadcasters -- Dave Limina (piano and B-3), Diane Blue (vocals), Forrest Padgett (drums), and Paul Kochanski (electric and upright bass). He enlisted guests for a 12-song set, almost evenly divided between covers and originals. They include pianist Anthony Geraci, saxophonists Mark Earley and Mario Perrett, guitarist Peter Ward, and vocalist Tess Ferraiolo. Earl pays a fingerpopping tribute to Muddy Waters in covering his "Blow Wind Blow." Using B-3 and piano as driving engines, he flies across his Stratocaster strings in full treble tone. Blue swings hard on the lyric. (She is one of the finest blues singers in the game.) He offers a surprise in reading John Coltrane's modal classic "Alabama" with assistance from his sax players. The arrangement is inventive, different, but equally profound. Earl reaches for each note solemnly; his arrangement directly equates the saxophonist's memorial for 1963's 16th Street Baptist Church bombing with the ongoing struggle against virulent, often violent racism. He picks up an acoustic to duet with Ward on "Blues for Ruthie Foster," playing lines that reflect the Delta influence of Robert Johnson and Robert Jr. Lockwood. He reprises the title cut from 1988's "Soul Searching" with horns added to his sparse, tasty, soloing atop Limina's gorgeous B-3. Earl and company deliver a fine version of Dave Mason's "Only You Know and I Know" in tribute to the inimitable Bonnie Bramlett. Blue's throaty contralto is perfectly suited to this R&B gem. "A Prayer for Tomorrow" is a soulful blues that simmers and flows with inventive soloing from Earl and Geraci. The guitarist's nearly 11-minute reading of Percy Mayfield's soul-blues classic "Please Send Me Someone to Love" is a set highlight. He offers the first verse and chorus instrumentally before Blue enters passionately, understating the lyric. "Coal Train Blues" is a straightforward rocking blues with wonderful exchanges between Earl, the piano, and B-3. "The Sun Shines Brightly," co-written by Blue, is a deep, sultry, Delta-inspired gospel blues. She wails and moans atop and around droning, sharp-edged guitar lines as piano and B-3 simmer underneath. The closing cover of Jackie Wilson's "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" offers a gorgeous lead vocal from Ferraiolo, leaving listeners with a joyful expression of romantic and spiritual love. As a guitarist, Earl's technical facility is well documented. That said, his taste, generosity, and vision as a bandleader and interpreter of classic material is equal to his masterful playing. Mercy Me is both perfectly balanced and intensely honest; it underscores and expands on his stature as one of the world's greatest living bluesmen(https://www.allmusic.com/album/mercy-me-mw0003661806).

It was 1974, and in Austin, Texas, the cosmic cowboys ruled the roost. Fiddles and steel guitars sweetened the mix of folk, rock and country that was putting the Texas capital on the national music map. 
But there was a group of new arrivals, mostly from Dallas, who weren’t having any of that. Instead of digging the likes of Bob Wills and Willie Nelson, they were following in the steps of blues, soul and R&B legends like Bobby “Blue” Bland, Otis Redding and T-Bone Walker. Tony Lama cowboy boots and Lone Star Beer T-shirts weren’t for them; cats like Denny Freeman, Jimmie Vaughan and his little brother Stevie, and Doyle Bramhall all dressed sharp, exuded cool and drew the best- looking women in town to their gigs. Perhaps none dressed sharper or sang sweeter than a tall, cool drink of water named Paul Ray. After relocating to Austin, Ray put together a virtual Murderer’s Row of some of the best R&B talent in town, including guitarists Denny Freeman and Stevie Ray Vaughan to form Paul Ray and the Cobras.The Cobras would change personnel over the next several years (Ray himself was obliged to quit the band in 1978 due to health reasons), but they remained one of the strongest draws in town, presiding over a robust blues scene that only added to Austin’s national reputation as a musical hotbed. Which brings us to Caught Live At the Continental Club (Jungle Records 1014), ), a new 40th Anniversary Edition of the vintage recording which documents the Cobras at the height of their considerable powers. The original incarnation of the recording was a seven-song 10” vinyl release on the local Big Money label. In 1991, an expanded version of the show was issued on Germany’s Crosscut label. The new release marks the first time has been available stateside. Recorded one January night in 1981 at the famous South Austin landmark venue, Caught Live features one of the most dynamic iterations of the band, featuring Denny Freeman on guitar, along with Joe Sublett and Luke McNamee on tenor and baritone saxes respectively, Rodney Craig on drums and vocals, and Leland Parks on bass. Fronting the band was a riveting and charismatic lead vocalist from West Texas, “Junior” Medlow Williams. As with most Cobras shows, this one offered a master’s class in rhythm and blues, soul, rock ‘n’ roll and blues. Opening with the feral, prowling groove of “Tomcat” (a Freeman/Sublett original) to the walking-bass-and-wailin’ sax outro of the “Peter Gunn” theme, the sprawling 16-song set ranges geographically from Chicago to Houston, with many a stop in between. “Learn To Treat Her Better” and “See See Baby” are classic Texas R&B shuffles, while “Blow, Joe, Blow (Crazy ‘Bout A Saxophone)” is a classic Saturday night throwdowns in the Amos Milburn tradition. “Checkin’ On My Baby” features some classic Denny Freeman-style ice picking, a ’la Albert Collins” while their take on Johnny “Guitar” Watson’s “Gangster of Love” is classic Lone Star badass. “That’s How Strong My Love Is,” “I’ll Go Crazy” (featuring a scorching Junior Medlow vocal) and “Further on up the Road” puts the Cobras stamp on a trio of classics and Rodney Craig’s “Mary Sue “proves the band was no slouch when it came to original material. For ten years, the myriad musicians who passed through the band made the Cobras Austin’s standard bearers for blues and R&B, a walking, wailing house party that helped pit the city on the map. Caught Live At the Continental Club shows just exactly why (https://texascobras.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-the-continental).

A collection of hard-stompin,' party-down, all original songs penned from the rock and roll heart of George Thorogood. Along with his unstoppable, longtime band, The Destroyers, the album showcases tracks like the tour de force anthem "Gear Jammer," the heartfelt country ballad "Oklahoma Sweetheart," and the previously unreleased "Back In The U.S.A." Additionally, hard-hitting barnburners like "I Really Like Girls," & "If You Don't Start Drinkin' (I'm Gonna Leave)," served up with classic Thorogood swagger & tongue-in-cheek panache. 
As George Thorogood himself once put it, “I guess a good song is a good song is a good song, you know?” And what we have here is a collection of hard-stompin,’ party-down, good songs—all penned by Mr. Thorogood himself. Scheduled for release on April 15, 2022, the aptly named album The Original George Thorogood brings together the best from the rock and roll heart and fevered brain of George Thorogood and his unstoppable, longtime band, The Destroyers.
“It’s easy to write a song, difficult to write a good song, and even harder to write a great song,” Thorogood says. “It strikes home that I have the ability to write some pretty great songs, and there’s a real sense of achievement to that.”

Les Brers was an American rock band formed by former members of The Allman Brothers Band. They were initially led by original Allman Brothers drummer Butch Truck.
Les Brers was formed in 2015 following the retirement of The Allman Brothers Band at the end of 2014. The origins are from a band led by Butch Trucks that was billed as Butch Trucks & Very Special Friends. This band performed at two festivals in 2015, the Peach Music Festival and Wanee Music Festival. The lineup at the Peach Festival was Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Johanson on drums, Marc Quiñones on percussion, Dave Yoke and Vaylor Trucks (son of Butch Trucks) on guitar and Bruce Katz on keyboards. The lineup for the band at the Wanee Music Festival was Butch Trucks, Jaimoe Johanson, Marc Quiñones and Bruce Katz joined by Jack Pearson on lead and slide guitar/lead and back up vocals, Pat Bergeson on guitar, Oteil Burbridge on bass guitar, Bill Evans on saxophone and Lamar Williams Jr. (son of former Allman Brothers Band bassist Lamar Williams) on vocals. Following the Peach Music Festival, Trucks announced plans to perform in 2016 with a band called Les Brers. The band's name was taken from the Allman Brothers Band song "Les Brers in A Minor" off of their 1972 album Eat a Peach.[citation needed] It is a combination of French ("Les") and Southern American English ("Brers") which translates to "The Brothers." This band's lineup consists of the same lineup of Butch Trucks & Very Special Friends that performed at the 2015 Peach Music Festival without saxophonist Bill Evans (although Trucks has stated that Evans will probably join the band for certain shows, when his schedule allows).[citation needed] Trucks, Johanson, Quiñones, Burbridge and Pearson are all former members of the Allman Brothers Band. They all performed together in the band between 1997 and 1999.Les Brers performed two shows at the Cox Capitol Theatre in Macon, GA in 2016. They also performed at the 2016 Wanee Festival. During this performance they were joined by former Allman Brothers Band guitarist Warren Haynes for some songs. They performed again at the 2016 Peach Music Festival and went on a short U.S. tour in September 2016.The band primarily performs songs by the Allman Brothers Band along with some other blues and a few originals from non-Allmans members.
After Butch Trucks died on January 24, 2017, the band announced they would play their final show in August that same year.

Chicago Dime is a Melbourne based Chicago-Texas fusion blues band. The band’s love for the blues runs deep, their name taken from a Buddy Guy lyric: “‘I went to Chicago lookin’ for a dime and found a quarter.” The band’s raw energy and intensity is reminiscent of some of the best blues and improvisational music that Australia has ever offered.

As you'd expect from these excellent musicians, there is some fine playing and singing on this disc. There are a lot of extended solos, which to me, occasionally go a bit long. The disc offers a nice variety of work from both artists and some nice collaborations. The rhythm section offers stellar support to Edgar and Luke. The high point for me is Tobacco Road which is masterfully done. This disc is for people who like both artists' work and are prepared to hear the artists induilge themselves in their art without worrying about being commercial or pleasing critics. Both gentlemen are in fine voice and at their playing peak. The sound quality, for the most part, is quite good for a live performance. Every instrument cuts through. The disc offers a nice variety of styles from blues, to jazz, to rockers to ballads. I was most surprised how flawlessly each plays on the other's songs, as if they'd been playing together for years. I guess that's what one should expect from two musical greats.
