​A perfect marriage between synth-icon Harvey Jones and spoken word poet Peter Gallway.  Luminous Darkness takes you to an unknown world with intriguing poetry on cinematic soundscapes.

​What a hell of a compilation Bear Family presents here! 30 songs that include Texas Honky Tonk, shuffles, country, rockabilly and refined pop. Songs that Billy Walker recorded in the period 1949 - 1962. 'Whirlpool' is a must have for fans of American roots music. Enjoy!

​This dynamic front woman is once again accompanied on her latest album by a whole list of guest musicians. Now she proudly promotes "Black Crow Moan", another beautiful and highly recommended blues rock album.

​Great debut from L.A.-based singer-songwriter Brooke Benson.  Original and exciting with poetic lyrics.  When you hear the frame drums you know she wants to tell her story.  Just listen and enjoy.

​Beautiful compilation released by Bear Family. All the hits, supplemented with rare and hard to find recordings, can be found on this album. Stop looking for a decent compilation album from the great Dinah Washington. This' A Rockin 'Good Way' has it all!

​A splash of blues, a lot of rockabilly, a simple tune of country and a lot of swing, that is the sound of Rusty Ends ..! Brilliant and beautiful in its simplicity…

​Mariea has proven that she can deliver an interesting album on her harp. Recommended!

​In his solo debut album "Soul Service" Tony Holiday also turns out to be a powerful, soulful singer. And is also a songwriter of lucid and moving roots music songs. The record was produced by Grammy nominee Ori Naftaly (Southern Avenue, Stax Records) at Zebra Ranch, the Dickinson's studio in Independence, Mississippi. Holiday (vocals / harmonica) found his soulmates there in guitarist Landon Stone, bassist Max Kaplan and Danny Banks (John Nemeth band) on drums. "Soul Service" is a great and very divergent album! Highly recommended for every true blues lover!

Dave Greaves finally shows up with fine personal songs, a singer-songwriter to (re-)discover.

​Covid-19 is raging worldwide and is causing a pandemic with a huge number of victims. What we need is a good rock 'n' roll and blues based treatment. And this compilation released by Bear Family proves that it works.
‘30 Bop Pills For Your Recovery’ is the subtitle of this album and confirms once again that ‘Destination Health, Doc Feelgood's Rock Therapy’ is the ideal medicine to help you through the corona crisis. Definitely recommended!

​A lot of Gnawa musicians live and work in Brussels.  For the first time you can hear their traditional music in Maroccan Arabic.  

​Nice Brazil balances between joyful, quiet and meditative tracks. Recommended to those who love Brazilian music. 

​Let your feelings flow on the marvellous tunes of ‘Mielo’.  Harmonium and accordeon: a perfect combination.

​Renowned blues performers serve up 25 fantastic songs inspired by the Korean War on ‘Back To Korea Blues’. Songs that display heroism, melancholy, resignation and despair. ‘Back To Korea Blues’ not only contains monumental songs, but is also a poignant musical document.

​Can’t wait to hear and see them live at The Botanique in Brussels, energetic songs from start to end, from life to death. Super!

Both the Great Depression and World War II inspired blues artists in songwriting. This collector bundles no less than 25 songs on these themes by Sonny Boy Williamson, Blind Boy Fuller, Tampa Red, Brownie McGhee, Son House and Louis Jordan, to name just a few of the artists performing on this album. Artists who all are engraved in the brain of every real blues lover.

​You hate it or you love (for a while).  Borokov Borokov will always be remembered as 4 guys who let us dance on experimental, intelligent, ironic  bullshit.

​Poetic rubber-tramp songs, deep emotional with his gorgious voice.

​A nice soulful album from an unknown source!

​Melodic piano music with arrangements for cello, classical guitar, vocals, flute, violin etc. 

On the second volume in 'The Hank Williams Songbook', hillbilly artists present not only songs once sung by Hank himself, but also original songs inspired by the musical spirit of the great Williams, as well as some formidable tribute songs. Great album!

Fast rising alt-folk band Pavey Ark gives all reasons to close our eyes and think of….our own tiny problems and expectations.

​The writer of the booklet claims that the British Blues Boom was over by 1966: Cyril Davies was dead, Alexis Korner had switched to children’s TV and  the likes of Jeff Beck and The Rolling Stones had sold out. I hold an entirely different opinion, claiming that by 1966 the blues fun had only just begun. Actually, this is what the 3 cd box set by Cherry Red seems to prove: every record label wanted a blues group on their roster and some were rewarded with fame and fortune – something the first generation couldn’t have dreamt of, think TYA, Chicken Shack, Free, Fleetwood Mac   This selection features many acts that never made it (The Rats, Angel Pavement), or that we seem to have forgotten (Killing Floor, Duster Bennett). There’s a lot to be discovered here and we suggest you check out all those names that mean nothing to you. That’s what these box sets are for, after all.  Another fine sampler by the house of Cherry Red.  Meanwhile, you can listen to a generous selection on Radio 68 www.radio68.be on Sundays 17 & 24 and Tuesdays 19 and 26 May.

With once again delicious hillbilly and catchy rockabilly and rock 'n' roll of volume 5, the formidable series 'Hillbilly Boogie and Jive' unfortunately comes to an end.
Don't worry though, because you can be sure that compiler Mark Armstrong is already working on new series. We will keep you informed!

Experimental rock with nostalgic musical influences and digital platforms makes Combo Qazam an interesting progband. Ritmic rock, harmony vocals, and a lot of unpredictable changes.  Listen to their first single…a beauty!
