​Extremely inventive and original progrock from Illinois.  Art in music.  Strongly recommended.

​Little Victor aka The 'Mojo' Man collected 28 all searing rock 'n roll songs from both famous and obscure artists from the fifties and early sixties. Like always 'just killers, no fillers'! This is the real rock & roll stuff. A must have for real rock & rollers!

Energetic and powerful album with the skilled voice of Bernie Shaw and  the outstanding guitar of Dale Collins. All credits go to this marvellous Canadian composer!

Sometimes it’s hard to find…the good times.  Glenn Jones gives us hope, like only a true country man can accomplish.

​An album with a mixture of Chicago blues and New Orleans funk. 

​This is the first album that I hear from Sarah Elgeti, and it’s a nice introduction!

Worth spending your money on ‘Heavenly Bodies’.  Different styles and moods in this expanded compilation. A real teaser for ‘Earthworks Complete’, the Deluxe box released in 2019.  

​After almost twenty years of silence, Reniet Vrieze brought the band The Pilgrims back to life. Three years ago they did a small concert tour and had a fifth studio album with "PunkSoulRock’ NRoll”. Now there is the release "6IX", which is registered in the Zaandijk RAW Studio. The album includes fourteen new songs, and two Otis Redding bonus cover songs.

​It’s very clear that Anthony is a talented singer, so it’s high time that the music business takes notice of him!

​This debut album proves that The Jazz Defenders have listened carefully to their forerunners, and do it over with verve. 

On volume 6 in the fantastic series 'Southern Bred', compiler Mark Armstrong focuses on the Texan artists. Excellent rhythm & blues from the heydays of the genre.

​His guitar and lyrics are always central into every song. The sound focuses on the essence, and there is no more to captivate in this ten songs.

​Rott'n Dan and the Lightnin' Willy are an acoustic duo focusing on Pre War, Piedmont and Country Blues. In doing so they are paying homage to the greats such as Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Robert Johnson, Blind Boy Fuller and Mississippi John Hurt, to name a few.
Briljant!

​Although I don’t think that cultural movements, like British pop music of the sixties, can be cut into calendar slices, the compiler of this 3CD collection claims that the first signs of psychedelia in British pop music are to be found as early as 1966. To prove his point, no less than 84 titles are collected here, with a 52-page booklet to further illustrate the thesis:  British proto-psych begins in 1966 and affected everyone, from the very famous (Kinks, Yardbirds, Who) to the less famous who went with the flow (The Mindbenders) and the stars-to-be who would mostly find success with a different genre (David Bowie, Marc Bolan, The Bee Gees, Rod Stewart).  More interestingly, I think, are the groups that really helped shape the experiment and we must give a surplus of credit to The Creation here. The icing on the cake? Very simply all the groups that really went for it and ended up nowhere in terms of fame and success. Cherry Red’s collection even features some sides that were never released at the time. Try these: Tony Colton, The Favourite  Sons, Lindsay Mauïr’s Untamed, The Spectres, The Luvin’ Kind, The Tomcats…  If you prefer your beat with a gentle helping of experimental sounds, don’t hesitate. You can listen to a generous selection of this beautiful set in My Generation on www.radio68.be on Sunday 25 and Tuesday 27 February. 

​The four-time winner of the San Diego Music Award (including 2019 Artist of the Year) and the nominated Blues Music Award 2019 are now promoting their new record "Stand Up!". It is the follow-up of "A Woman Rules The World" from 2018 and "Soul Tonic", with release dates 2012. Her high octane voice is again easily guided by many guest musicians.
“Stand Up! “is a highly recommended release..!

​This Chicago guitarist is a genius in playing the roots genres. He portrays blues, jazz, country, Western swing and rockabilly in a brilliant way. On this album he gives 16 songs from The Beatles an instrumental facelift. Joel played all the guitarparts that were put together in a wonderful way. This album is a must for 'guitar aficionados'.

​Electronic collages as a source of inspiration for other musicians. 

​Sid spent a decade making music as a guitarist in the USA with a variety of musicians from Nigeria, Liberia, (then) Zaire, South Africa, Cameroon, Zambia and Zimbabwe. His love for African music resurfaces on this album with star percussionist Valerie Naranjo playing the Dagomba Gyil (a member of the xylophone instrument family) as well as congas and a variety of percussion. Also appearing is an ensemble playing the Yoruba/Lucumi Bata drums featuring Richard Huntley, David J D’Ambrosio and Jimmy Greenfield. It’s unlikely that either sound has appeared on this type of recording frequently if at all before now.

​The "Freestyle" release is the first of three EPs from the "Legacy Collection". It contains never before released (cover) songs from the rich history of this lively artist as a singer-songwriter.

Outstanding musical performances of a dozen legendary seventies musicians in a contemporary rockopera. A musical trip around the human societies of the world.

With this concept Johnson returns to his roots, blues based on Southern rock. Together with Frank Bauer (saxophone), Tony Anthonis (bass), Benet Schaeffer (drums), Rick Steff (keys), Pete Matthews (backing vocals) and percussionist Tony Antonelli, Johnson went to the High / Low Recording studio in Memphis. The result is eleven original, almost personal, songs, and a great cover version. Johnson closes with the boogie rocker "Preacher’s Daughter", it could be his "signature song". Jeremiah Johnson confirms again!

​The flagship compilation of Tramp Records is a feast for lovers of old school soul!

​A very nice album, with Brazilectro songs, Brazilian music with a modern electro twist. 

​A nice album with 7 covers and 4 original pieces from Doug MacDonald. 

​Accessible and soulful jazz, nice to listen to!
