The twelve tracks are an exciting and compelling development of their down, dirty and traditionally peppered blues music. A dobro, lap steel and an intimate drum set, that is all that this  duo needs to keep our attention to the lesson. It is an inspiring and improvising journey through the deep south of The States. Once seated on a front porch, they also invited some friends.
The release ‘I Wanna Go With You’ is the most authentically and organically blues-based record’s in the band’s near 25-year career

​When we think of New Orleans R & B, our thoughts immediately go towards Allen Toussaint and Mac Rebennack aka Dr. John. But Johnny Adams and Lee Dorsey also provided a nice piece of New Orleans sound with their recordings between 1959 and 1962.

​Why does everybody wonder if  white men can sing the blues and doesn’t anyone wonder if white men can sing SOUL? Well, probably because Mitch Ryder and his Detroit Wheels supplied the answer as early a as the mid-sixties. Mitch Ryder’s ruthless voice, which at times reminds me of James Brown’s vocals at their roughest and toughest, treats soul songs is if they were rock’n’roll – mixing the odd blues traditional along the way. The result is a thunderous medley of ‘CC Rider’ and Little Richard’s ‘Jenny Jenny’, plus an unparalleled reading of ‘Little Latin  Lupe Lu’. Next, he goes wilder still, releasing ‘Breakout’ – that same voice now aptly underlined by sneering riffs and a horn section keeping soul time. The template is used again on the third album, ‘Sock It To Me’.  When all was good, former manager Bob Crewe thought it fit to release a ‘greatest hits’ album, remixing and restyling a number of songs from previous albums! The record executives then thought it was time for a softer approach so as to make Ryder acceptable as a solo star! Forget it. Cherry Red collected all five LPs onto 3 cds, adding some material that appears on cd for the first time – 65 tracks in all. Plus a detailed booklet in case your memory is running low. Splendid. And don’t you even dare ask that question again! 

​A new album for lovers of acoustic guitar. 

​This new album contains a varied palette of gospel, Afrobeat, soul and funk. Real soul is yet dead!

​Missy Sippy is turning five years and is going tonger than ever..! The blues and roots club Missy Sippy, in the heart of Ghent, blows out five candles.
A reason to celebrate, a reason to party. On March 6, exactly five years after the opening, the Missy Sippy All Stars presented this album live in Missy Sippy. No less than twenty blues musicians registered what you can experience live overthere. The result is simply stunning and radiates only international class!

​Now everybody can take part of and enjoy DBA.  Progrock with a touch of pop: a sensational collection of live songs.  Music made without pressure and so with a lot of love.

​So now there is the seventh release "Your Baby Left Me". The swinging opening song "Best Friend's Grave" was chosen as "Coolest Blues Song of 2019" by Detroit's Big City Blues Magazine. The tone is set immediately for the rest of the full album. That never-ending generous instrumentation is present in almost all songs. Impressive vocals, including The Backtrack Angels with backing vocals, crackling guitar riffs, pounding drum parts, artful bluesharp and Bruce Katz's piano and Hammond B3 organ arrangements provide the necessary swung. The release "Your Baby Has Left" was produced by George A. Harris and contains eight original songs and the fantastic "Natural Born Lover", a Jimmy Reed cover. A collection of authentic and original swing blues. Replay please..!

​After The Animals spilled some of the rawest blues all over the charts between 1964 and 1966, Eric Burdon disbanded the group, went to America, embraced the counterculture and put a new group together: Eric Burdon & The Animals leaves no doubt as to who is in charge, even if Zoot Money, Andy Summers, Vic Briggs, Danny McCulloch, John Weider and Barry Jenkins all are top musicians. Anyway, the band released a string of beautiful singles mirroring the new direction (think ‘San Franciscan Night’) and put out four albums for MGM in just two years. The albums are a testament to the themes of the new culture (love, brotherhood, nature, astrology), but also of the musical experimentation that goes hand in hand with the search for alternatives. There are a few original covers (e.g. ‘Paint it Black’), but also spoken word (‘Poem By The Sea’) and the nineteen minutes’ collage that is ‘New York 1963 – America 1968’. The band had its weaker moments (the cover of ‘To Love Somebody’ is not truly convincing), but all in all Burdon & The Animals did a brilliant job. Cherry Red brought together all four albums (‘Winds Of Change’ in both mono and stereo), plus ten bonuses drawn from the band’s single releases. The entire set is re-mastered from the original tapes. Naturally, Cherry Red also provides a nice booklet.  
On Monday 16 and Wednesday 18 March, Radio 68 www.radio68.be will broadcast choice tracks from this release.

​In 2018 the band released their EP 'Road to Memphis'. Since then they have been growing steadily, writing many songs, touring almost continuously and have an extensive worldwide fan base. The record "The Devil May Care" contains ten original roots and blues songs that were written together by the dynamic duo of Jeni Grouws (vocals) and guitarist Chris Avey. The release "The Devil May Care" diverges like never before.

​Casey penned nine songs together and produced the release together with Laura Chavez. With her powerful voice timbre, she finds backing with guitarist Laura Chavez, drummer Evan Caleb Yearsley (son of Thomas Yearsley), bassist Marcos C and the horn section with Jonny Viau and Steven Ebner. The album diverges with a some blues/rock songs and deep emotional ballads.

​This solo piano album is a thought provoking testament to life, because you never know what tomorrow brings. 

​Melodic solo piano, that can either be used as background music, or to relax with. 

​A remarkable joyful album, that bundles the best from Brazil and LA!

​This new, interesting album with electrojazz proves that Four80East has still a lot going for them!

​On his first album as a leader, Paul Shaw has composed inventive tracks!

​This album proves that jazz is still alive and well in Puerto Rico, in a fresh and new way. 

​'Mumbles Blues' his first recording for the Chess label, already shows a great rhythm & blues artist. In 1961, Bobby Lewis scored his biggest hit with 'Tossin' And Turnin '', of which more than 3 million copies were sold. Unfortunately, he then slowly slid back to the live circuit. Unjustified as it appears from this album, which is full of sublime rhythm & blues.

​Her self-titled album from 2016 was an instant hit. Now Mary Jo has her second album ‘Front Porch’ in the store shelves. In addition to a tight backing band, she managed to reach two guitar wizzard with Tom Holland and Albert Castiglia

​Allen Finney take a step down into some great roots music, a mix of blues, folk and a bit of country & roots music. With a blend of artists, his unique vocal expression, harmonica and guitar tunes Allen recorded eleven original great songs. Allen Finney has another excellent record to promote. Who brings this blues troubadour to our club and festival stages…

​After the previous ‘Thistle & Thorn’ album I taught it would be difficult to improve.  But, how wrong could I be.  Lovely enchanting songs on his new birth ‘The Embers’. Strongly  Recommended!

​A wonderful pack to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Shakatak, with a live registration on two audio discs, and on one dvd. A must have!

​This new EP is filled with famous covers, all in a soulful smooth jazz jacket. Highly recommended!

​He spices his texts with many political topics. Slim's slide guitar, harmonica and powerful rough vocals are a judicature for many songs. His trademark! "Traveling Man" is a handsome –live- anthology of his musical oeuvre.
