Few would dispute that the title of Robin Trower’s latest solo album – ‘No More Worlds To Conquer’ – is a fair summary of the thumbprint he has left on the musical universe. But as he reminds us, it should not be misinterpreted as his mission being accomplished. “I definitely feel like I’m still reaching,” he considers, “with the guitar, and the songs, and everything else.”
For more than six decades, Robin Trower’s career has known no bounds. At the age of 77, the British guitarist can reflect on a journey in which he has planted flags across the musical sphere and played every role imaginable. He’s been the driving force behind Sixties icons Procol Harum. The transatlantic solo star who filled US stadiums with 1974’s Bridge Of Sighs. The collaborator and occasional supergroup member. The elder-statesman songwriter whose late period still crackles with invention.

" A solid blues-rock that gives pride of place to the strong voice of Gipsy and the beefy guitars of Lionel..." Soul Bag
"What a slap listening to this first album..." Blues Magazine
"Strength and feeling are the drivers of this beautifully crafted production which suggests a real passion with muscular riffs and expressive vocals..." 
Blues Again
"A disc in the form of a revelation. If you like female singers combining power and personality and stinging guitars..." 
Paris Move
"Here is a more than promising group that has understood everything about the ideal mix when it comes to putting rock in the blues, and vice versa! To be followed closely then." 
Zicazic
" Gipsy Bacuet, with the false airs of Pat Benatar of which she has the vocal power...
             .... Blues and Rock flow through the veins of this charismatic singer. On stage, she is in tune with Lionel Wernert, who handles the six strings with as much dexterity as Fred Chapellier, his friend and mentor" L'Yonne Républicaine

New England's Albert Cummings has been hailed as the next Stevie Ray Vaughan, and certainly Cummings' explosive, soulful, and emotional guitar style adds credence to that claim, but Cummings, a carpenter from Williamston, MA, has a completely different blues approach, tackling themes that would be familiar to any working stiff trying to support a family in an uncertain economy, sounding in this live set like a man who is more than glad that the weekend is here and he finally gets to make some noise. In this context, Cummings' blazing guitar breaks function as deliverance. Recorded in March of 2008 at the Colonial Theater in Pittsfield, MA before an enthusiastic hometown crowd, Feel So Good gives a glimpse of Cummings in his natural setting, and this is a straight-ahead rocking show that opens with the Friday night anthem "Party Right Here" and just keeps rolling from there. Locked in tight with drummer Aaron Scapin and bassist Daniel Broad, Cummings plays a hot hand on his Fender Strat as he tears through fine versions of B.B. King's "Rock Me Baby" and Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll," slowing things down a bit for a beautifully sung version of his own "Together as One." Live albums are often holding patterns for recording artists, and this one has that feel, but Cummings is such a down-home player and singer, and performing live on-stage is so obviously his sweet point, that Feel So Good seems like a perfectly natural career move. It sounds like it was one hell of a party that night, and in the end, that's how Cummings approaches the blues, by using it to catch a little bit of freedom and running off into the night with it, understanding that the blues is really all about the need for joy.

Dallas-based blues/rock trance-inducer Shawn Pittman puts down some garage-blues dynamite on his new album Hard Road. Set to drop indie-style on September 13th, 2022, Hard Road is a no-frills, gravel-crunching set of American guitar music tracked live in the studio. It’s a mix of new and old material, a creative decision that allows Pittman to give his fans a chance to hear how his current band handles certain songs from his considerable body of work. The performances were all captured at Wire Studio in Austin, Texas with engineer Stuart Sullivan behind the board.Pittman tracked Hard Road with the rhythm section he presently gigs with. Jason Crisp (bass, second guitar) and Mike King (drums, backup vocals) are a tight and able pair who do a fine job of powering up and supporting Pittman’s guitar and vocal excursions. The three musicians share an enviable chemistry, a fact proven out by the knowledge that all of these songs were cut live off-the-floor with the red light on. Only the real ones can do it like that. Shawn Pittman was born and raised in Cleveland County, Oklahoma but moved to Dallas, Texas when he was 17. He began his musical life at the age of eight on piano, moved on to his brother’s drum set, and was playing guitar by age 14. A friend introduced him to the pleasures of Lightnin’ Hopkins and Muddy Waters, which then led to Albert King, Jimmy Reed, and Elmore James. A career in music was inevitable. Shawn has since released albums numbering in the double digits and built a solid reputation as an iconoclastic American artist. He’s toured with the likes of Susan Tedeschi (appearing with her on The Conan O’Brian Show), Anson Funderburgh and Mike Morgan, tracked with Double Trouble, and opened for B.B. King. Pittman’s last album is Make It Right! (2020) Pittman’s first cut is the hard-hearted and occasionally dissonant jam “Pocket Dial.” It’s a tough song about catching a cheating lover through their own phone records they didn’t bother to delete. Pittman’s words detail a thoroughly modern take on the eternal blues theme of love trouble and he snarls them out over a relentless beat. His guitar tone is less distorted than you’d expect, which sets him apart and lets him escape the blues scale when he wants to, as in the descending Major 7th guitar walk-down in the chorus. He creates tension at will just to release it and fly. “The House Always Wins” is a barroom-burning blues done with two guitars and no bass, a sound defined by Jimmy Reed and Hound Dog Taylor. The energy level is so high that you don’t notice the absent bass due to the tune’s manic beat. All the players involved here rock together so well that listening to them play live like this is audio bliss of the highest order. Expect to be left sweaty and exhausted. Pittman explains his preferences in herbal refreshments in the stony and hypnotic “Sativa.” Again, there’s no bass part but you won’t care. The tune cruises by at the perfect tempo for its lyrical chant of “Sativa in the morning, Indica at night” to take hold in a smoky brain and Pittman’s well-phrased guitar licks also sit on it nicely. It’s a fun track that gives off a feeling of unity.
Shawn’s title track “Hard Road” is a heavied-up Jimmy Reed-style old school blues that careens wildly out of your speakers and starts a party. The great thing is that, by this point in the record, you’re totally ok with it and no longer care about anything but the next blast of notes coming out of this crazy-hot band. Great music does that to you. Every bit of Hard Road is compelling and worth your time but be sure not to miss the swinging “Maintain” and the lowdown and slow “That’s The Thing.” Shawn Pittman is stone solid and came to play the blues. He’s real, he’s live, and he’s what you need. Get busy and spin this!

BLACK PEARL is a brand new contemporary rock-blues project featuring London based, Detroit vocalist/guitarist Marcus Malone, former Wishbone Ash guitarist and arranger Muddy Manninen and songwriter Pete Feenstra. Originally conceived as a possible song writing project between Muddy and Pete, the former Motown signing Marcus Malone quickly came on board to add his unique vocal phrasing to a project that spans rock, blues, Americana and Latino.
“As Muddy explains: "I had just completed my River Flows” album and then we had to lock down. I was talking to Pete about some song ideas, but I wanted someone else to sing them.” Enter Marcus Malone. That connection quickly blossomed into an EP idea and subsequently a catalogue of songs. As Pete adds: “The idea was to tap into honest emotions and thematic narratives with an open-ended musical approach. It took us to places we hadn’t imagined.”
Helsinki born, UK based Muddy Manninen was the songwriter and guitarist for Wishbone Ash for 4 albums over 13 years. He wrote much of their ‘Blue Horizon’ album, widely regarded as their best for years. He also enjoyed a prolific career in Europe with bands such as Gringos Locos with whom he cut the ‘Punch Drunk’ album, produced by the legendary Tom Dowd. He became a solo artist in 2017 and has cut 2 albums while continuing to work with saxophonist Patsy Gamble. Detroit born Marcus Malone learnt his craft opening for the likes of Bob Seger and Iggy Pop, before being coveted by Motown records. He was relocated to LA by Ike Turner’s management and the result was the all star ‘Marcus’ album, still available on Rock Candy records.Since moving to Europe, he opened for BB King at the Albert Hall, has cut 7 solo albums and has enjoyed both IBBA and Dutch Hit Tracks success with the Malone Sibun album ‘Come Together’.
Pete Feenstra is an award winning blues promoter, blues-rock DJ and songwriter. He has written songs for Blue Commotion, Croatia’s Ivana Gallic, Voodoo Ramble, Boris Zamba (European Blues Challenge winner) The Sharpeez, Marcus Flynn (Beyonce/Mike & The Mechanics) and Zed Mitchell, with who he topped the German Roots rock charts.

A natural soul singer and blues musician, Drew Foust’s music sounds like it’s made between the bleary hours of a rock bar’s last call and a southern preacher’s early morning prayer. Hand made, self-made and arranged in dramatic structure, the music is lyrical and rhythm driven, always pushing a feeling forward. His latest release, “Good Thing,” is inspired by old school-southern soul music.
