"Oyate Music and RavenHeart Entertainment is proud to present the debut release from one of the most acclaimed NEW Native American Blues-Rock bands today! BlueDog's new release "From All Directions" is chock-full o' some of the best influences of yesterday .....in the Blues-Rock arena! Great blues-rock artists like Stevie Ray (SRV), Lynrd Skynrd and the Allman Brothers influence the songwriting...... 
With searing Santana-ish guitar work provided by lead player Eric Buffalohead and the over-the-top vocal stylings of Joni Buffalohead, the songs on this incredible new recording are both memorable and fresh, and showcase both of these superb musicians talents. 
If you were to take the vocal raunch of Janis Joplin.... 
The angelic tones of Ella Fitzgerald...... 
And the soulful-ness of Aretha..... 
you begin to hear and feel some of what lead singer and lyricist Joni brings to this recording. 
Add to this the tones of Carlos Santana with the instrumental phrasing of Clapton and you begin to approach the talent of guitarist Eric.... 
A incredible package! 
Combined with the natural spirit of Native American music drawn from the influences Indigenous and XIT......this is band to watch!" ~ Grant Neil (2005)

The STAXS are a high-energy Blues/Soul/R‘n’B band featuring musicians who have collectively performed and recorded with some of the biggest names in the industry. Fronting the band on vocals is the fiery, gospel-style sound of Louise Marshall. The STAXS’ regular line-up is often augmented by well-known guest artists. With their exciting new arrangements of classic songs, The STAXS deliver an electric performance that is truly unforgettable/
The STAKS Band anyone? Well, there is a very good chance that they are the best band that you have never heard of..  Back around 1970 Joe Cocker pulled an incredible band together and went on to record one of my all time favourite albums, Mad Dogs & Englishmen. if you haven't heard that album, treat yourself and go and buy it.. I was warned about this prior to working with The STAKS band, that they are fast becoming the incarnation of Joe Cocker's band. Every single musician involved is absolutely 'Top Draw'. Admittedly, they are pretty much all stars in their own right and extremely well accomplished, brilliant musicians and singers. Almost all of them have contributed their outstanding musicianship to so many songs that we all know and love. There are quite a few people in The STAKS Band.  I was working with then this week, I counted about 18 people. This seems to change each time we meet due to various commitments and the band's requirements. They have had some incredible people who have joined them for live shows and recordings. Amongst them are, Steve Winwood, Jack Bruce, Beverly Knight, Madeline Bell, Paul Carrack, Steve Overland, Roachie, Sonja Jones and others. We have been in a recording studio for a few days whilst they are putting a few finishing touches to their new album. I am also off with them this weekend as they are performing at one of Britains most wonderful events, The Cornbury Music Festival. I have photographed them live a few times now and they are incredible.. if you get the chance to see them anywhere they are playing, do yourself a favour and make the effort. If you enjoy live music and real music, it doesn't get better than STAKS....

Russ Aldrich - lead guitar;
Stephen Minnich -  bass guitar, lead guitar;
Hymer Morgan - piano, Hammond b-3 organ;
Mike Cairo - drums.

“Jr. Johnny does it again with what he calls his best release to date. Vocally, he captures the mood of each of these originals, while his harmonica soars and pierces the blues, then reaches back and cuddles it. For harp lovers all over the world, this should be considered essential listening. Students of the instrument would be well-advised to pay attention to these tracks too. Excellent guitar production also graces this package thanks to the efforts of Peter Corrigan and Russ Aldrich. The rhythm section (featuring Steve Minnich on bass and Mike Cairo on drums) is rock solid and Hymer Morgan is simply incredible at the piano and B-3. It’s always good to find original blues that flourish in the present, yet are firmly rooted in the tradition that make the blues enduring and such a truly great American art form.” “Dancing With The Devil’ is singer and harp player Jr. Johnny’s piece of work. It includes twelve very personal songs with deep Sonny Boy Williamson influences, all them performed with the original very special way he has of approaching Sonny Boy songs and, in general, all blues he plays. In this  album Johnny is backed by Peter Corrigan on guitar, Russ Aldrich on guitar too. Steve Minnich on bass and solo guitar, Mike Cairo on drums and Hymer Morgan on keyboards. All together form a compact straight band perfect to let Jr. Johnny develop his cool bright ideas to produce a repertoire full of honest well done songs, which simply come from the deepest part of his heart. VERY GOOD”

Thom Enright. Know that name? Well, he’s a musician. Or more accurately, a musician’s musician. Three of Thom’s old bands — plus Thom himself, natch — will be inducted into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame tomorrow. Thom’s a certified big star in New England. Maybe he’s not a household name where you live, but if you think you’ve never heard him play, think again. He was a regular member (and MVP, some would argue) of numerous bands of historical significance: The Young Adults (finalists for Saturday Night Live’s house band gig), The Duke Robillard Band and The Pleasure Kings (“Duke’s Blues” hit #6 on Billboard’s blues chart; Count Basie called them “the hottest blues band I’ve ever heard”), Ken Lyon and the Tombstone Blues Band, Roomful of Blues, Shakey Legs (the first New England rock band to record for a major label, Paramount), and John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band (they made Eddie and the Cruisers a cult hit). Thom was also a first-call guitar and bass player who performed on many Grammy-winning and gold-selling albums for Sony, Columbia, and Rounder. Thom worked with Bo Diddley, James Cotton, Robert Cray, John Lee Hooker, Paul Butterfield, Ronnie Earl, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmy Vaughan, Big Joe Turner, John Hammond, Jimmy Thackery, and Dr. John.

Celebrated Blues artist Patrick Sweany returns with his much-anticipated new record Baby, It’s Late. Utilizing ace players from two of his Nashville side-projects (the 50s/60s era Blues combo Tiger Beats, and the Soul/Funk quartet Super Felon), Baby, It's Late is a pastiche of Sweany's wide-ranging influences and history, incorporating Classic Rock, Soul, Country and, of course, a massive dose of vintage Blues. Sweany produced the record himself - a first in his storied career.
Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover, or in this case, a musician by his promo shot. For example, take a good look at Patrick Sweany. Do you think he plays NME hyped new rave? Nope. He's an honest, hard workin', roots rockin' blues man from the rust belt." - I Rock Cleveland

 9. Got To Cut You Loose - 4:27
10. People Get Ready - 3:26

The former frontman for The Meters, this collection of 12 songs that carry much importance to Willie West were fleshed out in 2008, and are remastered here to enhance the timeless sounds. “I Got The Blues” begins the listen with West’s inimitably soulful voice alongside some bright brass and Donald Hyepockets Robinson’s fluid drums, and Sam Cooke’s “Somebody Have Mercy On Me” follows with Scotty Miller’s keyboards adding much to the rhythmic interpretation.Arriving in the middle, “Summertime” places plenty of funk ideas amid the powerful vocals of the Gerschwin original, while “Got To Cut You Loose”, an original, spotlights Thad Simmonds’s skilled saxophone prowess alongside West’s soaring pipes.The album gets quite emotional near the end, where “That’s Where It’s At” tugs on the heartstrings, and “Blues In The Night” exits with a stunning a cappella performance of the Johnny Mercer tune. Originally released in 2015 as Lafourche Crossing, this version is available on vinyl for the first time, and honors one of the best to ever do it in the area of the blues.

The group began in the mid '90s as Natural Causes, founded by guitarist Alan Grossinger. Next came Arthur Canady on lead vocals; then new millenium brought the addition of bassist Michael Cohen and saxophonist Rafik Cezanne. In 2000, the name was changed to Hard Bargain. Ron Duncan joined on drums and vocals a few years later making the band the most powerful soul band around. Eric Williams is trumpeter extraordinaire and manages horn chart duties.

Today, Hard Bargain is a soul powerhouse, described by industry fans as “the real deal," and one of NYC's finest R&B bands. Hard Bargain has been active on the New York music scene for over 11 years, performing at the Bitter End, Kenny's Castaways, Le Bar Bat, The Roxy, the famous Cotton Club, Stanhope House and many other venues throughout the NY-NJ area.

Since then, the group has played north and south of the Mason-Dixon, and continues wowing audiences in the Northeast. The debut CD has sold in 20 countries and across the U.S., and is still available at CD Baby and iTunes. Hard Bargain’s release, “More Than You Bargained For,” includes new originals by the group as well as Grammy nominees Jon & Sally Tiven, who have written and produced for Robert Cray, B.B.

"The Moochers started up in 1994 when the songwriting team of Mat Walklate (vocal, harp) and Andy Pyatt (guitar) met up in Manchester UK. The new CD Play The Game is our third album and the first to contain all our own material. Our previous albums have received excellent reviews all over the world and the band has tourd extensively in the UK, Ireland and Europe. We think that Play The Game is the best thing we've ever done and so, it seems do the people we've sent it to so far! The album came out in October 2005 and already it's had loads of airplay and positive reviews. Andy is a truly great guitar player-inventive, soulful, intelligent and true to the blues. Together with Mat's rich voice, expressive harp and superb lyrics The Moochers have created fourteen brand new songs that carry the true spirit of the blues forward into the 21st century! There's a full range of different feels and grooves on the album, a full range of emotions expressed and an irresistible beat provided by Bo Kirton on bass and Chris Wharton on drums. If you like original, contemporary blues with a firm grounding in the blues tradition and real heart and soul then The Moochers are a band you need to hear!" ~ 2005

Willie West is one of the original Soul and Blues men. He was born Millard Leon West on December 8, 1941 in Raceland, Louisiana, a stone's throw from New Orleans. He started singing at 15 when he and his cousins formed a band they called The Sharks. He was known for his high energy performances and wide vocal range. The band became very popular in the local clubs and venues. Willie wrote and recorded his first vinyl 45 in 1959 called, "Did You Have Fun" for Dorothy Lee's Rustone label. His mother had to sign the contract for him as he was just 17. The song became a regional hit and made the Billboard charts.
He moved to New Orleans in 1960, where he lived until Hurricane Katrina. Besides his successful solo career, he has fronted many notable New Orleans bands including The Meters, Electric Soul Train, Oliver and the Rockets, the Gladiators with David Batiste and Uptown Rulers with Aaron and Charles Neville and Bobby Love. Allen Toussaint became his producer and he cut a string of excellent singles for his labels. Willie learned about arranging and producing by observing Allen at work. Some of these early recordings were done at Cosimo Matassa's studios in New Orleans. Willie also sang the Toussaint-penned title track for the Warner Brother's motion picture "Black Samson", and then released two singles on Warner Brothers.
Willie was blessed to perform with and/or open for Otis Redding, Aaron Neville, Lee Dorsey, King Floyd, Lightning Hopkins, Joe Tex, James Brown, Ike and Tina Turner, Bobby Blue Bland, Little Milton, ZZ Hill, Big Joe Turner, CP Love, Irma Thomas, Ernie K Doe, Eddie Floyd, Solomon Burke, Mary Wells, Guitar Watson, Johnny Nash, Barbara Lynn, Earl King, Smiley Lewis, Etta James, Greg Allman, Jimmy Buffet, Dr. John, Jimmy Reed and Johnny Adams. Many of his early gigs were booked by Percy Stovall's New Orleans Booking Agency, which represented him.
He has had the pleasure of meeting many music luminaries including Jimi Hendrix, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Guitar Slim, Paul McCartney and so many others. Willie and Leo Nocentelli of the Meters wrote a song for Albert King. In 2012 Willie released the CD "Can't Help Myself" on CDS Records, which he produced with Carl Marshall.
In 2014 "Lost Soul" came out on CD and vinyl from Jukka Sarapaa and his Timmion Records label out of Helsinki, Finland. The High Society Brothers Band backed this project. And his latest release on CD is "Lafourche Crossing", on Loud Folk Records, which he produced and arranged with John Wright. He performs his first duet with his daughter YaDonna West, a dynamic vocalist and performance artist herself. Currently he is collaborating on the West Trainz Project with Erik West-Millette from Montreal. Willie West is still writing, recording and performing regularly, at home and abroad, although he does not do the splits on stage anymore.
