A ‘tour de force’ from David Cousins on his new album  ‘The Ferryman’s Curse’.  Compare it with the highlights of Strawbs previous albums ‘Strawbs’ and ‘Dragonfly’.  Excellent progrock!

Beth Nielsen Chapman already earned her spurs as a songwriter with her songs she wrote for Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. Songs that she performs here for the first time by herself. Supplemented with some re-recorded songs from her previous albums and some new songs, 'Hearts Of Glass' is a beautiful album.

Keith Christmas’ latest album opens with wild, ecstatic vocals and wild, virtuoso guitar: the title track refers to the London music scene of the sixties, especially the new folk scene of which Christmas was a most active member. Still a student, he released his first album ‘Stimulus’ on RCA in 1969 and his guitar playing embellished  a searching David Bowie’s first LP. Fifty years on, and the expressive voice, the complex guitar work and the folk angle are still intact on all twelve self-written songs of this rich album. So is his commitment in songs about the refugees (‘Cross The Water) or populism (‘When The New Man Comes To Power’, ‘Welcome To The End Of The World’). His lyrics can be read on more than one level:  the ‘King Of The Ruined Castle’ could refer to recent developments in Syria, but equally to any dictator hanging on to his own despair. The worlds isn’t about politics alone though, and Christmas delivers a touching song about a dead friend (‘Talking to the Dead’). This wonderful beautiful album requires your close attention, both lyrically and musically.

Forget Jim McCarty-The Yardbirds-drummer and  switch to Jim McCarty the guitarist, composer and singer because it’s this Jim McCarty who has just released his third solo album. He wrote all twelve melodic, quiet, almost fragile songs in which he contemplates about nature, Life and life, Time,  destiny and the questions that must remain unanswered forever. The philosophical mood of this album is further enhanced by instruments such as the flugelhorn and the violin. A lovely antidote. Check out his official website

In contrast to what the groups name – a cocktail of only two identical ingredients – does suspect the music of Borokov Borokov is a hotpot of varying genres, like Hi-NRG, punk, global pop, hardcore, lounge music and performance art. 

No-nonsense, take no prisoners rock ’n roll with an attitude! Got to love it! What a debut!

​It is clear that the bandmembers and vocalists play and sing with fire, and bring back that old school soul feeling. Recommended!

​A remastered MQA/Hybrid SACD of the best jazz album from Norway ever. A unique opportunity to buy it.

​This album proves that soul and big band jazz can go hand in hand! 

​Two albums by the former organist of Procol Harum, now digitally together on one album. The former is pop, while the latter bears more an eighties sound. 

​This album is a melting pot of different musical styles: folk, rock, pop etc. Difficult to categorize. 

If you search creativity in music, don’t look further.  Voluptas Mors can trigger your mind and feet at the same time.  Use your imagination and go for it!

Billie died in 2011 but her music and her legacy lives on.

This album is more than just a rockabilly album. The collaboration between Carlos Slap and Charlie Hightone has produced a smooth sounding album that is bathed in a club atmosphere of rockabilly, hillbilly with sometimes a touch of gypsy jazz.

Reverend Shawn Amos delivers a gospel, soul and blues album with a collection of 21 century freedom songs in the spirit of Bukka White, Dr Martin Luther King and The Staple Singers. Recorded in the Fame Studios at Muscle Shoals and The Royal studios in Memphis with the help of The Hi-rhythm section this album yearns for a peaceful world and talks about understanding. Great album!

Carolyn Gaines has been working behind the scenes in the blues cirque for years. But now she surprises us in a positive way with a pretty debut album.  Her deep voice inflections work wonderfully in the Chicago blues. Brilliant ..!

The sessions for Seven Day Blues may be considered a “throw back,” or “old school,” approach by some, but the skill and expert care taken by Atkinson to record Johnny Tucker and his music, captured the true essence of a real blues man in his element, for all eternity.
The release ‘Seven Day Blues’ is already one of the best albums in 2018!

Nice mix of covers and original songs. This Spanish band produces wonderful rockabilly and rock & roll, as it sounded at the time in the Sun studio. And pay particular attention to the formidable guitar work of the lead guitarist. It's party time!

Johnny Fink is no longer a kept secret. Actually we would like to see this band live on one of our Flemish stages. There is certainly a market for Fink's strong musicality. Hell Yeay, we like this sound! 

Aisha Khan brings with 13 original songs an impressive tribute to rhythm & blues, blues, jazz and even rock & roll from half of the last century. Superb album!

Just like the last year released 'Here, vol. 1 ', ‘vol. 2’ offers again beautifully elaborated live registrations, in which the stunning voice of Dayna Kurtz, supplemented by the subtle, functional guitar and mandolin parts by Robert Maché, once again provide goose bumps. Highly recommended!

A passionate tribute to the Argentinian musical export product par excellence!

This cd was already released in June 2017. When you are interested in today’s funk and soul scene with a vintage sound, you have to check out this album. Mostly instrumental but three tracks with fantastic vocals from Kylie Auldist, Emmi and Stella Angelico, this album grooves and makes you move!

Not easy to find musical textures in this ocean of repetitive minimalistic sounds.  But once you feel the purpose, another world opens before your eyes.
