Larry's blues are as real as you can get. He was born in Coldwater, Mississippi in 1951, lived briefly in Memphis before coming to Chicago in 1956, where he grew up on the West Side and listened to Big Bill Hill's pioneering blues radio show. He started playing bass, then guitar with a group of high school buddies that included Tony Llorens, later the producer of several Albert King album; in fact, everybody in the group wound up working with Albert at one time or another.
Larry is the compete package-a great guitarist, a soulful blues singer and a creative songwriter. Larry's resumé reads like a who's who of the blues. He has played in support of Albert King, Albert Collins, John Lee Hooker, Taj Mahal, Johnny Winter, Koko Taylor, Little Milton , Son Seals Otis Rush, Jimmy Johnson, Lonnie Brooks, Jimmy Witherspoon, Sugar Blue, Kim Wilson and Champion Jack Dupree just to name a few.
Larry had also played on over two dozen albums including the great Albert King album San Francesco '83 and Lou Rawls' experimental Shades of Blue. He's on A.C. Reed's iconoclastic Fed Up With This Music. He's on four Collins albums, two of them recorded live in Switzerland and Japan. He's on three albums with Johnny Littlejohn and two with Jimmy Johnson, He's featured on Past, Present & Future (Earwig Records) by his brother Aron Burton, the well known blues singer and bass player. He was also co-leader of the Burton Brothers Blues Band when they cut their album released in Europe on the B&B Label. Larry is also spotlighted on the Icehouse Records release, Slide Guitar Blues, along with Johnny Winter, Sonny Landreth and Elmore James. He has played on five albums that were nominated for Grammy Awards. Is that qualified or what? Naturally, all the other blues artist would have been happy if Larry had continued to back them up with his outstanding rhythm work-he plays full, precise chords that are fingered so cleanly and played so tenderly, you can hear every note-and his fully developed, fiery solos. But his ability to front a band blossomed on one of his European tours and led to the release of his own first album Hustler's Paradise on the Brambus Label. It is chock full of scorching guitar and features all original songs by Larry Burton. They explore the nuances of the man/woman relationship that is the source of so much of the world's blues-and the medicine for it too. But they weren't playing the blues at those sock hops and "Las Vegas Nights," they were playing the latest hits by James Brown, Wilson Pickett or Sam and Dave-not to mention the Rascals, The Beatles and especially Jimi Hendrix, who remains one of Larry's favorites. It was in 1967 that his brother Willie, who played saxophone, introduced Larry to the local club scene, and it's been a steady diet of blues ever since.

This is Jennifer Lyn & The Groove Revival’s second full album following an EP Nothing Holding me Down in 2021, followed by a second EP, Gypsy Soul, and a debut album, Astro Gypsy in 2022, which reached #4 on the Billboard Blues Chart. The group has garnered seven Independent Music Award nominations and a nomination for an International Songwriting Award.
Retrograde is defined as looking backwards. Here the title signifies that the band is looking to the sounds of the past and applying them to sounds of the future. Jennifer’s guitar and vocals are supported by guitarist Richard Torrance, drummer Jim Anderson, bassist Nolyn Falcon and Barb Jiskra on piano and keyboards. The ten original songs on the album were written by Jennfer Lyn and Richard Torrance.
They open the album with a proclamation that “We carry with us dreams that never die. We’ll ignite a little spark in the dark. “Light The Fire” “in your heart”. She then says she is “Searching for Solid Ground”, as “I’m lost in the in the whispers of my own mind. I’m tired of walking around half-blind. I’m caught in a whirlwind of fear and doubt. I can’t shake the feeling times running out” as a guitar interlude fires up with a soft organ backing. With Barb’s honky-tonk piano and Richard’s slide guitar lead, Jennifer determines, “It ain’t the world’s gone wrong, You’re Just a “Sucker for the Pain”.
A crying guitar drives a soulful ballad with Jennifer making the plaintive plea “Will you be the “Refuge” for my soul” “if the walls start falling down and there’s no one around and I’m standing at your door”. Jim’s drums drive her wanton desires as she declares “There are things that you do that make me want to / I want to “Do Bad Things to You”. “Soul Saver” is a soulful blues song featuring Barb’s organ and Richard’s easy guitar as she tells him “I was lost in the darkness. Searching through my sadness and misery. Then you took my hand, smiled and said come along with me”.
But she then dismisses him and advises “Your “Baggage” won’t fit in my suitcase”. as she expounds “I got your message last night. I didn’t call you back. I didn’t want to fight. It’s the same old story with the same old news. Whining and moaning just singing the blues”. She concludes that story by declaring her desired independence with “I don’t care if he’s coming back, I got his “’59 Cadillac”. “Breaking Chains” features a guitar interplay between Richard and Jennifer and a further declaration of her independence as she tells him “I’m done with gritting my teeth instead of speaking my mind. You’re just a little sucker puncher. Yeah, you reap what you sow. And everybody knows the times are changing”.
A smooth love song ends the album with Richard’s tremolo guitar flowing along as she says she would “Do It All Again” even though she cites “I’m just the dreamer who got nothing in return. Standing in the ashes where our love burned.”
Blues history is refined for a modern sound with Jennifer’s solid, soulful vocals and the backing of a talented band.

This 8-tune set possesses the Right Amount of Funky This is Tim’s 6th LP since 2011 & he mixes it up jubilantly with blues, soul, roots rock & reggae. Each song has its message or story rather than just tunes to “create a groove.” The songs do have their own way of maintaining liveliness & intensity. The Ohio-born & Nashville-based Gartland has been listening to the blues since he was 13 & he’s quite proficient.
This 8-tune set possesses the Right Amount of Funky produced by Andy Peake & Tim & recorded in Nashville, TN. What’s interesting for the uninitiated is how Tim utilizes his deeply dipped, experienced, bruised blues vocal. It reeks of sincerity through each number. He sounds like an old blues master.

What’s interesting for the uninitiated is how Tim utilizes his deeply dipped, experienced, bruised blues vocal. It reeks of sincerity through each number. He sounds like an old blues master. Has a B.B. King influenced guitarist & slinky sexy female vocalists supporting “Waste A Worry,” a well-cooked blues. So, these blues aren’t so much The Paul Butterfield Blues Band or Canned Heat. It’s far closer in spirit on “Right Amount of Funky,” to the deep growl perfection of the late John Lee Hooker with a touch of John Baldry. Gartland’s harmonica is warmer than Butterfield & the guitars are surprisingly melodic for a blues song. It all works well & never falls victim to pop sensibility. The entire band chugs along nicely through each song & never sounds like a jam session. They play with enough finesse not to slide into overachiever land. There’s no Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny Winter, or Mike Bloomfield flashiness. The concentrated effort is more in the spirit of traditional blues. The interplay between musicians & the imaginative playing is captivating. There’s some bluesy insouciance — there are no political overtones, big messages, or lessons. It’s life as it is. “Walk Away” is sung with the vocal-slurry not unlike a Mick Jagger & the female vocalizing as rich as the Raelettes with Ray Charles. This is a good, cool tune. Sung & played with depth & would put a respective smile on the faces of veteran bluesman like Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson I or II, Furry Lewis, Hooker or T. Bone Walker. Yeah, these guys would like it.

This legendary guitarist and songwriter has toured the world performing songs from his many recordings. After appearing before an audience of nearly 10,000 in Switzerland and enthusiastic crowds all over Europe, his release (Blues Family) recorded in Croatia and Germany with vocalist/songwriter LZ Love has garnered rave reviews and international, airplay.Now, the album RED’S ROADHOUSE is attracting music industry attention and creating fans all over the globe.
Lightning Red began his R&B musical training early…at age three. Every Saturday night in 1952, while his parents danced, he’d sit directly in front of the saxophone sections of Count Basie, Jimmy Dorsey, Duke Ellington and many of the big bands touring the military base circuit. Marveling at him, iconic musicians would bring Red on stage between shows to noodle on their drums or bang on the piano.
Then at age five he studied the piano, had an electric guitar by thirteen, and his band was winning talent contests within a few years time.
Toward the end of his teens, Red became a protégé of Luther Allison in Chicago, where he soaked up the sounds of Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Mike Bloomfield, B.B. King, Johnny Winter and the local blues legends. Touring throughout North America followed, and in 1977 Austin, Texas became his home and touring base. While performing at the Armadillo World Headquarters during the latter 70s, Omar and the Howlers, W.C. Clark and "little" Charlie Sexton were brought onstage and introduced their music to the community. Red also in the front row hearing the music of newcomers The Fabulous T-Birds (Jimmie Vaughan, Kim Wilson) at Antone's Club and met a struggling guitarslinger named "Little" Stevie Ray Vaughan. His performances include the Whangarei Blues Festival in New Zealand, the Perth Blues Club in Australia, two years at the Great British R&B Festival, The Monterey Bay Blues Festival, the Bayfront Blues Festival, many House of Blues dates in Cambridge, repeat performances at Chicago B.L.U.E.S. in New York, the Rapperswil Blues’n’Jazz Festival near Zurich, and Blues Alive! Cuijk in Holland. He has toured the US & UK repeatedly, as well as Scandinavia, Ireland, Australia, Canada, France, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Croatia and Denmark.

Contemporary Blues with female power vocals and guitar oriented originals.

"La banda toca material original que tiene sus raíces en el blues, pero también se extiende en una variedad de sonidos y grooves asociados con el funk, el rock, el jazz y el latín. Sin duda al grupo le gusta mantener el sonido diverso e interesante. Los miembros de la banda aprendieron su oficio en años de actuar con diferentes bandas y músicos de sesión en los Estados Unidos y Europa. En el corazón de la banda está su sólida sección rítmica con Jamie Dalton (batería) y Mark Sobus (bajo). Estos dos combinados sentaron las bases para el extraordinario trabajo de guitarra de Jake Dreier y las voces y letras conmovedoras de Juliette Michaele. La 'guinda' del pastel es entregada por las chuletas de órgano y piano de buen gusto de Steve Lindeman. "La música tiene que mover tu cuerpo y tu alma".

Midnight Rhythm Combo is a disgustingly talented, tight and professional blues combo with jazz overtones and organ. Their female vocalist hovers between silk and husk. They’re a band who could play a Las Vegas casino, demand a rider of a five-star hotel + linened dinner and a guarantee of $1000 and not be laughed at. They could play a double two-hour set with a 15-minute intermission. They could make clubs sign contracts and fax them back. And, well, that’s all I really have to say about that.

These are two reviews :-)

I can say that I liked the album! It's a pity that there is only one, but I would have been happy to see them Live!

For a sebring musician it took inspiration, writing, recording and mixing to serve up his recipe for the blues. A self-produced compact disc titled 'free to fly away' showcases the talents of Tim Barfield, who has been playing lead guitar and singing for 33 years. His wife debra, suggested that he record and produce the project himself because he was already gaining experience with the recording process by making back up tracks for his solo act. Barfield explained how he began playing guitar: my brother johnny, started taking lessons and getting good at it and since i was the younger kid i was always competitive with him. His early influnces included: jimmy hendrix, the allman bros. And b.b.king. Barifeld also learned a lot about playing guitar when he lived in the country music capital, Nashville. Armed with a background in rock, southern rock,blues and country, barfield has developed his own guitar style, which is powerful yet melodic. At the microphone his voice reveals a straight forward comfortable baritone, which suits a variety of musical styles. The words and music come from setting down with his guitar with pencil and paper and 'just seeing what comes,' barfield said. Sometimes i get something good, sometimes i never finish, it's just off and on.' the 48 year old paints houses during the day and on weekends plays lead guitar and sings with the backstage pass band. ' it was a real challange he said about making an album on compact disc . 'it's just a whole different world.'
I am glad to introduce you to something new. I also knew nothing about this musician.

Robbie Smith is a true performer in every sense of the word, having toured all over the world with Candye Kane and the Swinging Armadillos. He has played with Blues Bands, Swing Bands, Big Bands, Jazz Ensembles, and Top 40s Groups. His trumpet playing has an exquisite quality and unique style, which will leave you wanting more! Taking inspiration from the most prominent of trumpet influences, such as Chet Baker, Clifford Brown, and Maynard Ferguson, blended with the stylistic influences of Louis Prima, Louis Jordan and Wynonie Harris. A Southern California native, Robbie currently makes his home in Long Beach and gigs steadily in the San Diego area. You can find Robbie playing with such bands as Blue Largo, Big Band Express, The Fabulous Ultratones, Jonny Viau and the Blues Allstars, The Modern Jazz Majestics, 2000 Lbs of Blues and more. Robbie considers himself a trumpet player who sings, not a singer who plays trumpet. His sound is pure, simple and perfectly executed! By Teri Conrad - Entertainment Reviewer.

"Red Hot Blues Sisters is an American blues outfit from Seattle, centred on Suze Sims and Teri Anne Wilson.
I was privileged to see this band at a local annual celebration in Mountlake Terrace Washington, during the Summer of 2011. I was amazed by the energy the band generated and can see why Suze received a vocalist award. She was still breathing hard and her skin was moist from working out on a warm Summer night, when I got her and Teri Anne to autograph this CD. This is a really, really good CD. I loved watching and listening to them incorporate a trumpet and trombone into the Soul full Blues they were pumping out. Actually, as a RN I'm concerned about Suze's voice pushing the envelope while belting out the Blues. The general caution would be "Don't try this yourself, she's a trained professional". The band is great, the gals are great...wish they had more CD's available"~https://www.amazon.com/Red-Blue-Hot-Blues-Sisters/dp/B001GQXV3A .
