​This is a wonderful soulful debut album, that I will play often. Thank you, Dhenibe!

​This duo balances on a thin line between soulful pop and folk. 

​One of the best americana albums I ever heard: original, moody, and groovy, endless beautiful and timeless.

​Beautiful collector with the hits of the 'singing fisherman' Johnny Horton. Rockabilly, hillbilly, country & western and honky-tonk, you will find it all on this handsome compilation. Recommended!

​Happy funky songs with a lot of humor will definitely ring a bell to all fans of Joost The Vanished Dutchman.  Very accessible album as a teaser for new listeners, but the advanced listener will prefer earlier work.

​Just like on the previously released editions, this album also contains some nice recordings in the blues, rhythm & blues and soul genres, played in The London Clubs in the sixties.

​Izo left a strong impression on me. I hope she gets more known, because with that kind of voice, she deserves it. 

​Dr. Rubberfunk has nicely surprised me with this new album! I like it!

Dramatic  songs about a few historical disasters but with hope for love.  Wonderful poetic lyrics and a classical musical setting that quietens. Beautiful in apparent simplicity.

​In the early 1960s, several singers who were still in their teens recorded 45 tours. Initially they were covers of American songs, but later they managed to develop their own repertoire. It was also the start of the careers of Helen Shapiro and Dusty Springfield.

​The Jasmine label highlights in the first volume of this series, as the title already indicates ‘R&B Answers, Copycats & Follow-Ups’. A nice approach, because if we take a closer look at the rhythm & blues, doo-wop, rock 'n-roll and pop from the last century, there are many songs that meet the requested selection. The nice thing about this album is that when you hear a song, you inevitably look for the link it has with well-known work. A fun activity in this era of corona!

A bunch of americana songs from the States, with a few jazz trials as ‘the wrong way’.  Fortunately ‘Living Rock’ schows Rebecca’s way.

​Also on this newcomer in the series "The Original Sound Of UK Club Land", the Jasmine label puts the spots on the songs that could be found on the turntables of the London clubs in the 1960s. On ‘Stirring Up Some R & B’ the emphasis is on upbeat rhythm & blues. The album is very varied and some rare recordings ended up on this compilation.

​As you can see, Robert doesn’t confine himself to one genre, but explorers different directions. And the result sounds good!

​Highly recommended to those who adore the Berlin school, or simply love ambient and chill-out!

​A combination of ethno, rock, folk and jazz, enriched with the Balkan culture makes this new album from Korjen a must-have for any lover of world music.

​Eddie Bo, born on September 30, 1930 and deceased on March 18, 2009, may have recorded a lot of catchy New Orleans blues and rhythm & blues, yet he is one of the most underrated artists in the genre. Just listen to the 43 often piano-driven New Orleans blues and rhythm & blues songs that you get served on this doubler. Recommended!

​I said it before: Fernando Perdomo is one of the best guitar players new generation.  Dramatic, emotional and atmospheric compositions will tell his own story. Ingenious and addictive.

​In their home country America, The Lennon Sisters have been part of the entertainment circuit since the 1950s. Originally, the sisters Diane aka Dee Dee, Peggy, Kathy and Janet formed the group. The girls were still young when they made their debut. Dee Dee was 16, Peggy 14, Kathy 12, and Janet was only 9. In their decades-long career, The Lennon Sisters turned out to be a quality vocal group, as can be heard on this album.

​This is an album that certainly will be appreciated by fans of acoustic guitar! 

​This concept album weaves a sonic bed of absolute clarity. 

​“If ain’t got that thing, if it ain’t got that swing” is what fits the debut album of Dennis Van Aarssen, the winner of ‘The Voice of Holland’ in 2019. I want more!

​Emotional Tatar music based on lovely poetry, composed with an open mind and a  ‘out-of-the box’ – spirit. 

​One of the most underrated guitarists and arrangers is undoubtedly this René Hall. And yet he had a not to be underestimated contribution to several classic pop, rock and rhythm & blues recordings between 1950 and 1970.
The Jasmine label focuses on this collector more on the obscure recordings than on the most famous of Hall. The latter are easy to find, which is not the case for the songs bundled here. The 29 mostly instrumental songs on this album show a Hall that could hold its own in both rhythm & blues and early rock 'n' roll. Quality that the filmmakers also appreciated, such as Jacques Tati who chose Hall's Allied recording ‘My Uncle’ as the theme for his film classic ‘Mon Oncle’. The film won an Oscar in 1958 in the category ‘Best Foreign Language Film’.

​Great prog album where the unpredictable continues to challenge.  Strongly recommended.
