For more than a decade, the Eric LaValette Band has made a name for itself by preaching an identity-based Blues at numerous festivals, sharing the bill with, among others, Johnny Winter, J.J. Milteau, Ed Sullivan, Dr Feelgood, Little Bob, Big Daddy Wilson, Mighty Mo Rodgers…
With two albums to their credit, 'No Land's Man' dating from 2007 and 'Delenga Carthago' from 2013, the Toulouse gang does it again in 2017 with this third opus, 'Deadline'.
Do not trust the cover of this album where these artists appear against the light, because it is only an optical illusion, a trompe l'oeil. Indeed, the combo composed of Eric LaValette, guitars and vocals, Greg Lamazères, harmonica, Jeff Cazorla, bass, and Jérémy Cazorla, drums and percussion, does not play in the shadow of the greats of this world, but under the sparkling radiance of their innovative Blues, that is to say in full light.
Pacsed so that the Blues and the devil go hand in hand, the incisive riffs of the guitar fraternize with the captivating notes of the harmonica. The Eric LaValette Band does not generate monotony, quite the contrary, the bluish color of their music displaying all its shades, from pastel blue to indigo, flirting with other influences for a stylish mix and a varied musical palette, colorful. Throughout the titles, the group reveals its game, without cheating and without jokers. The quartet looks like ace four, these 12 compositions being its trump cards, winning the bet at every deal.
From these two compositions, the first, 'The Blue Back Gorilla', very brassy with the presence of two guests, Cécile Vidale on trumpet and Franck Mottin on Saxophone, and the second, 'Get off the Ground', you take a first masterful slap as these Blues are irradiated under the burning sun of southern rock! For those who still think that Blues is music from another age, banish your prejudices, there is a magic potion in the brew. Expect to take two turns in your sandals!
After some very muscular Blues where the harp and the guitar converse, punctuated by the solid rhythm, 'Lost and Found', 'Infrared Light', the 4 accomplices, nostalgic for another era, will frolic without carelessness and with complete delicacy on the lands of Harvest and Hurricane, as a nod to the Loner and Mr Tambourine Man, with these superb compositions: 'Sing Along' and its keyboard flights, 'Gone Today' or even 'Promised Land'.
This is also one of the major assets of this album: getting off the beaten track to combine blues in other facets, just like on this 'Blood Pressure' ignited by the choirs and this haunting 'White Zebra' played on the mandolin. I assure you that the bet is successful, the emotion is there!
The last tracks of the album, 'I just can't say' and 'Hometown Blues', offered in two versions, studio and live, exude traditional blues, the one that gives the thrill to fans of this music.
As this album 'Deadline' is diverse, as the Blues captivates in its different cultures, it is quite naturally intended for all audiences. It is also almost impossible to have a preference for a title, this album is so surprising. But I repeat, these twelve compositions are trump cards, to be put in everyone's hands and ears! ‘Banco’ will exclaim your turntable! ~Alain AJ-Blues, Deputy Editor-in-Chief – PARIS-MOVE

Roy Poulton is the luckiest man alive because deep within his beard lives his very own blues band. That - and because he looks like a pirate - is why they call him 'Bluesbeard'.This album was almost lost to lockdown and the crash of a tree that crushed Roy's car during rehearsals.But if it wasn't for bad luck, he wouldn't have no luck at all.

The summer of 2022 Girder Music sophomore album from Dale Thompson & the Boon Dogs, I See Red, builds upon the groups self-titled debut full length from the preceding year (also Girder).  As its namesake implies, the group is the project of iconic vocalist Dale Thompson, whom is best known for his work in Bride but has also participated in projects too numerous to mention but with the most noteworthy in my opinion being The World Will Burn, Perpetual Paranoia, The Reconciled, The Thomas Thompson Earth Project and Sovereign Cross.  As far as ‘the Boon Dogs’ side of things goes, that would include holdover bassist and co-founding member Gregory Bruce Campbell and new drummer Edu Diux in addition to a host of guest guitarists encompassing include brother Troy Thompson, Greg Martin, Garret Thomas, Sean Silas, Scottie Hoaglan and others.
I See Red maintains the blues heavy rock direction to the debut, aligning a gritty guitar proclivity and shuffling bass with artists signature gritty and raspy vocal qualities to create a work I see appealing to fans of Glenn Kaiser Band, Stevie & The Saints, Darrell Mansfield, Greg Chaisson, Sign of Jonah and Big Chris & D'Bare Bones Band. If anything, I See Red takes things to the next level musically by extending songwriting from the three to four minute range to its predecessor to that in excess of five to six minutes.  Upshot is a bit more depth and substance musically from how individual songs are allowed time to build and separate, and make better-defined statements, not that the debut songwriting was in any way flawed (a fine album in its own right).Those that have followed Thompson’s career know he is no stranger to the blues, noting not just his work in Bride(referencing classic blues based hard rock releases Kinetic Faith and Snakes In The Playground) but also the varied blues-rock solo material he has put out over the years.  Hence, manner in which his stout, lower register vocals complement opener “I See Red”, scratchy and grainy with Campbell’s thickly woven bass, cutting guitar licks and chops but also enlivened with Hammond B3 decorating the back end. If anything, “I See Red”, sets the quality tone for the material to follow.

Nice Jacket Records announces the online release of “The Cataclysm Catechism”, the 2nd collection of Christian music by J. Howard Duff. This release has a very different feel than its predecessor, “My God Is…Awesome (He’s Everything)”. On “The Cataclysm Catechism”, J. Howard returns to his musical roots of electric guitar based rock n’ roll, blues, and blues-based rock. “This ain’t your fathers’ Christian music” he said when asked to characterize the new album. With a much harder edge than the last release, J. Howard’s past 52 years of listening, absorbing, and playing & singing the musical styles he grew up with is at the forefront of the new album. The influence of Chuck Berry, Carlos Santana, Paul Kossoff, Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Cropper & Jeff Beck are evident throughout the album. “These are the guys I grew up with”, says Duff. “The only difference between me & them is that it took me 50 years to get to be 5% as good as them!”

J.B. Davis, a veteran New Orleans performer born and raised along the Gulf Coast in Mobile, Alabama, and Moss Point, Mississippi, where the emphasis is on a musical approach that matches the soft, gentle breezes blowing off Gulf Coast waters. Reworking a dozen tunes familiar to hardcore blues and R&B fans, Davis gives each one its own soul-satisfying treatment, showcasing his smooth-as-silk vocals with understated-but-clearly-rocking band arrangements.It’s no accident, therefore, that this self-taught singer and keyboard player would use a gently swaying Fats Domino hit, “Walking to New Orleans,” as his title tune. And to vary the pace, that he would turn just as easily to the fast shuffle rhythm and B.B. King single-string guitar lines that accompany “Every Day I Have the Blues,” or the mambo-blues beat and fuzz-toned guitar lead that make the Ray Charles hit “Unchain My Heart” an unmistakable standout. But all this doesn’t mean he can’t turn up the temperature when he so desires. Check out the smoldering back-up to the opening track, “Little Red Rooster,” with its blistering slide-guitar riffs and solo. Or listen to the way he turns familiar blues like “St. James Infirmary” and “House of the Rising Sun” into dramatic and near-romantic ballads. No matter what he sings, J.B. Davis has a unique take on the blues and classic R&B that’s sure to have you kickin’ back in sweet relaxation and pure musical enjoyment.

According to the members, it will also be their most eclectic one yet. Once again, the Beasts translate their deep love for raw blues into a sound of their own, only this time additionally inspired by gospel, soul, desert blues & rock, rhythm & blues, psychedelia and even a touch of hip-hop. The band also assigned a bigger role to producer Koenraad Foesters, who’s practically acting as a fifth band member. The result is a very groovy record full of passion and emotion, and with a very contemporary sound.

Producer and former studio owner Isaiah B Brunt has traveled from his native Australia all the way to New Orleans to record his new album titled Just The Way That It Goes.He is basically an electric blues story teller. He pays homage to  classic American blues but his slide technique and use of a wah-wah pedal propel the sound into the present. He may not be flashy but he is a master technician who is able to convey emotion and a personal connection though his music. Bassist Richard Bird and drummer Mark Whitaker are a competent rhythm section and provide a solid foundation for his guitar expertise.
Tracks such as “Lovers Blues,” “She’s So Fine,” “The River Runs High,” and “Never Give Up” are aggressive pieces of fusion blues.Isaiah Brunt may be a long way from home but he has embraced an American music form with Just The Way That It Goes.

Will Wilde has taken the harmonica way beyond its traditional blues roots since he first emerged on the music scene in 2010.  Always pushing forward, evolving and redefining his sound.  He gained popularity on Youtube with his awe-inspiring harmonica covers of classic rock guitar solos such as Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird.  Throughout 2022/23 Wilde has been touring with his critically acclaimed rock band Bad Luck Friday, but 2024 sees him return to the blues with the recording of a new solo album (release date TBC).Wilde’s hard-edged harmonica steals the spotlight from the traditional blues rock guitar, with a sound that owes as much to Gary Moore as it does to Sonny Boy Williamson.  "I’m always looking to make new sounds with the harmonica, pushing its boundaries, trying to change people’s perception of it.”  In fact Wilde has gone one step further and created his own signature "Wilde Tuned" harmonicas so he can play licks that weren’t possible before.  “The Wilde tunings help me take things to the next level.  They enable me to hold my own with any blues rock guitarist.”

This is the band's 3rd CD, the first with New Drummer Jeff Van Clief. We are very proud of it. Here's what the critics say: FAT VINNY & THE WISEGUYS - TIGHT PLAY (no label) On their third studio album, Tight Play, Altoona-based blues trio Fat Vinny & the Wiseguys continue their exploration of blues-rooted sounds, this time loosely centered around the metaphorical theme of card games and poker. Singer/guitarist E. Vincent "Fat Vinny" Kelly, bassist Randy Ketner and drummer "Dutch" Jeff Van Clief again use blues as their launching pad to explore different styles and sounds over the album's thirteen card-faced tracks (plus two bonus tracks; 'jokers,' as described in the liner notes). These various blues-based explorations serve as the foundation for colorful lyrical storylines dealing with the poker game of life, wheeling and dealing with the opposite sex, bars, the road and more. The album starts off with the surf-flavored "Bad Men On The Run," highlighted by guest Denny Owens' wailing harmonica accompaniment. The following song, "Just Some Things," demonstrates a Chicago-like brassy flavor, courtesy of guest keyboardist/arranger Don Hughes and guest Tim Boland's sparking midsong keyboard work to boot. The slow and lowdown "My Girl Or My Guitar" explores the tough choice between love and art. Fat Vinny & the Wiseguys' apparent home turf remains boisterous blues-rock, demonstrated by the ZZ Top-flavored stomps "Barroom Floor" and "Feet Up on the Dashboard," the Stevie Ray Vaughan-informed "Lucky Charm," and the George Thorogood flavor of the comical "I'm Outdoors." The group cleverly uses poker metaphor on the Van Morrison-flavored ballad "5th Street," defining the moment where dream and vision convert to action and destiny. The group celebrates poker outright on the raucous and rowdy "Shuffle Up and Deal," and for card-faced track 'J,' strips AC/DC's "The Jack" (long a favorite of the group's live show) back to its blues roots. The album's only dark moment is the somber "Dark Places," inspired by a friend's sad-ending struggle with life's hard challenges. Produced by Kelly and Dave Moses, Tight Play sounds loose and playful, capturing the Wiseguys' spontaneity and live feel. The performances are sparkling yet at ease; Kelly's varied guitar displays shine throughout the disc, and Van Clief's drumming is busy but never overpowering. The guest musicians' contributions spice and brighten the sound further throughout the album. Tight Play is the brightest and strongest album from Fat Vinny & the Wiseguys yet; an album that shows this trio's flexibility and versatility, combined with a playful, lighthearted spirit. This band sounds like they had a blast making this album, and listeners should have a comparable good time listening to it. In my book, one of the best albums to emerge from the regional music scene this year - I recommend! ~Jim Price

Blues guitarist, singer, and BMA Nominee Johnny Burgin describes his never-ending touring schedule in a typically understated way: “It takes me a year to see my friends, and then I do it all over again” Often travelling without a band, he discovers novel and fruitful collaborations on the road.‘Ramblin’ From Coast To Coast’ is the result: eleven original blues from the road cut in Dallas, Cincinnati, Rochester NY and Memphis TN with cameos from the likes of John Blues Boyd, Rae Gordon, Ben Levin, Hanna PK, Jad Tariq, Jon Hay, and Dylan Bishop. Johnny draws from his years of experience in the Chicago blues idiom (as well as his popular weekly blues guitar YouTube videos) to put just the right repartee into the musical conversation.Johnny’s also known as a strong writer; “Gettin’ My Blues On” is from the point of view of a diehard blues fan who is just scraping by financially. Judging from audience reactions, this tune is poised to be the Blues Anthem of the Year!In 2023 Johnny was nominated for a BMA for Best Traditional Blues Artist. He maintains a relentless tour schedule across the US, in Japan, Europe and Mexico. He's also gained a loyal YouTube following for his 'nooks and crannies' guitar lessons posted every Monday. Vintage Guitar praised his 'stellar guitar playing' and Living Blues called him "talented and audacious"/

In his case, blues and rock overlap in such a way that it can take the listener aback, and turn everyone else’s definition of his originative sound on its ear. His style knits together the soul of blues and rock into modern day music.

Feelin' Good album by Nightporters was released Apr 24, 2001 on the Indigo label. Debut album from 1997, originally a limited release on the band's own label, now given a world-wide release by Indigo Records. Includes 8 tracks of explosive British R&B music capturing all the energy & excitement of this great act.[ Just superb - electrifying R&B. Fantastic rhythm, energy & drive - if this doesn't get you tapping your feet & dancing, then nothing ever will. Every track excellent.Sounds like I'm the bands manager! We've been to see them live twice (one of the best bends I've seen live) - if we get a chance, we'll be back again and again.] As a live act, it's a fair bet they're entertaining and capable of getting the joint bopping. If you're going to listen to these songs on a CD player, though, why should you settle for something like this when so many have done this sort of music (and, often, these exact same songs) with more personality and distinction? Originally released in 1997 on their own Wang label, it was reissued in 2001 by Indigo.

Duncan Street's Baptized By The Blues is exactly what the doctor intended: “Make a powerful blues album with fundamental instrumentation and high emotional expression drawn from the swamps and take everything away.” I fear that these two gentlemen have succeeded quite well.For years, Dave Duncan has been an example for country and blues musicians who enjoyed playing with Dave. However, Dave also played with companion Delbert McClinton for many years, but also composed a number of solo albums. Now, as a duo with Stan Street, it is no wonder that this duo has delivered an excellent blues album under the name 'Duncan Street'.Stan Street is traditionally a folk musician and gallery owner. Street and Duncan saw each other playing on the street three years ago and saw potential in doing something together. If necessary, they play on every street corner, but they also do fun things on stage. In 2013 they played a few gigs and released a record “Baptized By The Blues”, which was recorded in three days in LaFayette in Louisiana.Dave Duncan has been a professional guitarist for over thirty-five years. He has worked as a pedal steel guitarist with cowboy and singer Johnny Western, as a rockabilly guitarist with pianist SE Willis, with Jack Pearson & The Nationals and with the Goose Creek Symphony. As a songwriter, Dave Duncan has written several songs for other musicians such as Curtis Salgado and country singers Lorrie Morgan & Buddy Jewell. Under his own name, he released three albums. Guests can be heard on these albums from former members such as The Allman Brothers, Delbert McClinton, Stevie Ray Vaughan's Band, The Nighhawks, Sea Level. Not a bad list... I think.You immediately hear the influences from the southern-styled blues that is played on this record. There's no doubt that the old Delta blues artists of the past played a role here, and that's especially evident during the kickoff of “Go Right Back to Bed.” But if you want to hear more of that old blues flavor, stop looking and play the only cover of the CD by Muddy Waters “I Be's Troubled”, which they have given their own style, but which has still remained nice and authentic . Dave Duncan wrote all the songs except Waters' song.As far as I'm concerned, this is a pure-bred delta blues record with a lot going for it. Nice harp, uptempo, sounds cheerful, swampy from the swamps with excellent singing and contains a summer hit par excellence: “Watermelon, Barbecue and Beer”. Have a great time with great late summer weather and atmosphere.This CD has covered almost all the basics with lyrics about food, beer, Blues history, Blues future, baptismal promises, love, past love, joy, sadness. This is a solid blues album by two masters of the blues genre and certainly belongs on the shelf of every true blues lover.Bringing those guys to the Netherlands, they can easily be the support act for Ralph De Jongh... just to show where and how we can interpret this music, to a certain extent.

JJ Blues Band was formed in Horsens in 1983 and the original crew spoke Søren Jensen on drums, Michael Pedersen on bass, Knud Gram and Jan Markfoged on guitars and Jens Juel (JJ), song and mouth harp. About 1985, Markfoged was replaced by Henning Olesen and with this crew, JJ Blues Band played many jobs - primarily in the local area, but also in some of the outdoor venues and in addition to the first Djurs Bluesland festival in 1988. JJBB made great emphasis on playing "the real thing" right from the start, and the inspiration and songs originated exclusively from black artists such as Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, James Cotton and others. In 1989, the original JJBB was solved and was immediately restored as "JJ & The Real Thing"

Danny (Danny LoCascio) is from Chicago, Illinois. He has lived in Vienna for over 10 years and performs in his band MEAN STREETS and now DANNY CHICAGO AND THE LUCKY BAND.The name “Danny Chicago” evolved from always being referred to as “Danny from Chicago” with his musical friends in Vienna because they have such a hard time pronouncing or remembering his last name.He writes and performs his own original songs in the style of Blues, Rock, Funk, Country, Ballads, Boogie Woogie and even Reggae. Some of his works refer to the Vienna scene such as So So Far from Chicago, Boogie Down the Gürtel, Riding Round the Ring, Sittin' on Mariahilfer, Blue Danube Blues and a very funny song called Why Won’t the Austrians Dance? The style is often light hearted and humorous and sometimes inspires audience participation
