​Put five fine musicians together, give them a few years to adjust and great things will happen. Glitterpaard’s debut drips with melancholy and inventive accents.  Another dimension is entered!

With volume 5 'Dungaree Cutie' we come to the last release in the 'Atomicat Rockers' series. In the previous 4 volumes we already got a very nice picture of the music that unleashed a revolution in the the music scene in the middle of the last century. This line is also continued on volume 5 and the 28 tracks catapult you back to the fifties and early sixties.
'Dungaree Cutie' closes the 'Atomic Rockers' series with class with famous and lesser known artists. The 28 tracks contain rock 'n' roll and rockabilly of the very best kind. Too bad this is the end of this formidable miniseries. But the Atomicat label certainly has a lot in store for the future, we have no doubts about that. To be continued!

​Since the release of his debut album in 2013, Mark Pontin has built a solid reputation in the English blues/rock scene. He is a multiple acclaimed guitarist who is brimming with talent. And he shows that on his latest release 'Kaleidoscope'. The songs are a melting pot of electrified and different modern blues and rock songs. Great! 

​The label VizzTone Records has again succeeded in adding an exciting artist to their label with J-Rad Cooley. His debut album contrasts with exciting blues, songs full of New Orleans  tunes and some rare ballads. What a debut album!

​New Flemish songs from the talented Eva De Roovere, songwriter-singer-producer.  Once again very atmospheric and cheerful popsongs.

​In 2004, Diunna Greenleaf promoted her debut album 'Crazy But Live In Houston', which was followed by 'Cotton Field To Coffee House' in 2007 and 'Trying To Hold On' from 2011. So, we have waited more than ten years for the album ' I Ain't Playin'. The dynamic and talented singer Greenleaf has an amazing voice, one that is bursting with soul, expression and a lot of affection. Diunna opens with "Never Trust A Man", a song by one of her mentors, The Queen Of The Blues, Koko Taylor. Beautiful cover versions are interspersed with four original songs. And they are bursting with soul, blues, funk and gospel inspired tunes!  Diunna, please don't wait ten years for a successor to this wonderful relrease...

​The renowned label VizzTone Records is proud to present The Nighthawks from Washington DC. These legendary "The Best Bar Band In The World" are real road warriors. At the end of 2021, The Nighthawks celebrated their golden anniversary. Led by founding member Mark Wenner, the band has been touring around the world since 1972. On this historic anniversary album, founder/vocalist and harp master Mark Wenner is still at the helm, while drummer Mark Stutso, guitarist Don Hovey and bassist Paul Pisciotta all share vocals and songwriting. The legendary blues & roots band The Nighthawks are back with a stunner of a release. The eclectic sound is close to perfection. The band again switches very easily from blues, rock over soul, Americana and excelling rock 'n' roll.

​Apparently the lockdown has inspired a lot of artists, because Mickelson also wrote a lot of songs together in these difficult times. In his previous record, he gave a sneer at Trumph. Now gun violence, the heavily divided changes to Covid-19 and the social aspects of daily life are the subjects. He therefore has a clear opinion on many subjects and does not shy away from the controversial. Not only does Mickelson diverge lyrically, but also musically he takes a hit. Banjo-influenced songs, electrified rock songs and an acoustic closing note form the basis for the release. And so the turnaround is provisional for Scott Mickelson. 'Known To Unknown' is another excellent record. The nine songs contain all the musical ingredients needed to reach a wide audience. Highly recommended! 

​Melancholic ambient popsongs that can’t confirm the expectations. Except the single ‘Highly Overrated’ which convinced me of the band’s potential.

​As bandleader and composer has Pierre Lacocque never really doubted on his own musical vision. The release ‘Madeleine’ is a wonderful blend of Chicago blues, swing and boogie tunes. Together with this exciting vocals and brilliant rhythm section, Mississippi Heat are the ideal band for your club concerts or big festivals. Pierre Lacocque exhales deep into the title track and frolicates like a young foal with his mouth music. His steaming blues harp is of course the common thread through all tracks. Highly recommended release ! 

​On the eve of her 75th birthday and 57 years in show business, Trudy Lynn will release her 18th album, ‘Golden Girl’. In eleven original classic R&B, soul, blues tracks, Trudy collaborated with Grammy-nominated producer, songwriter Terry Wilson. They recruited an All-Stars rhythm section that included guitarists Anson Funderburgh and Yates McKendree, drummer Brannen Temple, acclaimed Kevin McKendree on keys, the horn section of Darrel Leonard and Mario Calire and Terry Wilson on bass lines. Special guest Teresa James adds her Texan vocal flair to the album and longtime friend Steve Krase accompanies his signature blues harmonica. The blues legacy of The Lone Star State is masterfully advanced in this collection of musical gold.

​Rare Groove Spectrum Vol. 2 is another solid collection of re-works and re-imaginings taking in a broad range of classic tracks, traversing jazz funk.

​Modern folk with contemporary influences creates an energetic sound. Not to be missed!
