​A loving tribute, with tracks that might have been taken from the Great American Songbook. 

​A manifestation of a creative and talented mind. 

​Atomicat Records now bundles on ’Kustom Kulture Klassics’ 28 rockabilly and rock & roll songs that have a connection with pistons, V8 engines and the accompanying power and speed.
This album will get your adrenaline pumping as the scent of burnt rubber tickles your nostrils, after which the hot rod devil will relentlessly make you press the ‘repeat’ button again, again and again. Hell ya, what an album!

​A lot of tribute to important musical New Orleans habitues are hailed here. From smooth jazz to swinging compositions. Handsome !

​The Hoodoo Tones have not stood still for the past two years, that is clear. Not only did they provide 12 new, breathtaking songs, but they also went through an evolution that should not be underestimated. Rockabilly and rock-n-roll still provide a solid foundation, but adding blues, country and even a pinch of garage gradually give The Hoodoo Tones more and more an awesome own sound.

​Broke Fuse is actually a one man band, but on this album the contribution of 11  friends, gives the voice of Jay Moonah an extra emotional dimension.  Beautiful!

Spirit is one of many American underground bands that never really made it this side of the Ocean, even though their fourth album ‘Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus’ (1970) was highly praised and both drummer Ed Cassidy and guitarist Randy California ranked among the finest players in their field. The group soon split, but Cassidy and California formed a new Spirit and toured Europe at the end of the seventies. This Cherry Red re-mastered reissue presents the entire gig played at The Rainbow Theatre on 29 November 1978, including six encores totalling half an hour. The double disc also boasts the multi track mix with overdubs released as a single album at the time.
To appreciate the music of Spirit,  one must really like American underground music – meaning that prowess and skill are rated higher than song-writing and showmanship. The gig actually starts with a … jam. This is a band that thinks nothing of a fifteen-minute show case on drums or expanded guitar solos. That’s all very well in a live setting, but less convincing as a living room experience. To me, Spirit are at their best when performing real songs, such as ‘I Got A Line On You’ (no. 25 in the singles charts in 1969), ‘Nature’s Way’ or ‘Animal Zoo’. The six encores totalling half an hour are not to my taste as I see no reason why a band with such potential should be content with yet another indistinctive rendition of ‘Hey Joe’ and ‘All Along The Watchtower’. Also, something is not quite right with the sound balance.
Spirit and American underground fans will want this re-release that includes a nice booklet – a trademark of Cherry Red Records. On Wednesday 02 September Radio 68  will play choice tracks from this 2cd.

​The Chordettes achieved their greatest success in the turbulent 1950s, when wild rock & roll was at its peak. In America they managed to score 16 hits between 1954 and 1961. Hits including several singles that sold millions. Just think of 'Mr. Sandman 'or' Lollipop '.
Released by Jasmine, this compilation brings together all the hits of The Chordettes. Hits that are supplemented with B sides and tracks from their albums.

​Now Will Johns is performing under his own name, drawing inspiration from his roots, while clearly putting his own unique stamp on his sound. The release "Hooks & Lines" dates back to 2012, and is the descendent of the album "Count On Me". The opener "I Believe" is like kicking an open door for the band. What a great musicality. The gospel hand clapping is supported by inflammatory Hammond organ, sax and equally good guitar riffs. Handsome…!

The doo-wop that Lee Andrews and The Hearts performed contrasted with the repertoire that most doo-wop groups brought in the fifties. Lee Andrews's doo-wop was more sophisticated and polished. On this album you will hear 28 such, mostly quiet songs.

​His music combines New Orleans style R&B, with Philly and Memphis Soul and Texas Swing into a churning gumbo sound that traces its roots to the Acadiana region of southern Louisiana and southeast Texas affectionately called Swamp Pop.

​I found myself in the seventh heaven, a place where Irish Coffee convinced me that classic (blues)rock is still alive and kicking.  Definitely one of the best rockalbums of the last few years.

Instrumental fusion album with the collaboration of the famous touch guitar player Markus Reuter and drummer Gary Husband.  Really impressive  in a few compositions.  Loved ‘Babe’ (Grannies)!

​Houston-based Evelyn Rubio plays a mix of blues, R&B and rock. Her new release was released on the SeaSpeed Productions label and was produced by Larry Fulcher. While firmly rooted in Rubio's favorite genre of the blues, the songs branch out into other areas as well. Songs like 'One More Last Time' and 'Just Like a Drug' cover a lot of sonic background. A lot of song material are searing rockers, sultry ballads and exciting groovy songs.

‘Baby Sittin’ Boogie’ may have been his biggest success, but it should be noted that the songs brought together here, which are a mix of rock and roll and pop, are well worth it. Buzz also more or less give an own direction to the covers he recorded. Nice retro album!

​New Yorker Blues Hall of Fame "Dave Fields is back in business. And how! Dave thinks he's a blues rocker, but he's so much more. Dave Field's keeps getting better and better. His sixth studio record is a testament to his continued growth as an artist. Great stuff..!

​If you want to experience this magical journey, buy this nice CD. You can also meditate on it.

​Recommended to those who want to meditate on the vastness of space, and the nuclear fusion inside stars. 

​This debut album brings a wide variety of jazz musical styles!

​Hip hop music for people who love night clubs and like a VIP treatment. 

​The minimalist line-up gives just that extra musical space for Al’s vocals and cornet arrangements. An album with a late night, after-hours groove that is comfortably between blues and jazz.

​Coco O’Connor has so much potential.  Opener ‘Honey Bee’ proves her exceptional singing talent.  High differentiated vocals and detailed fingerpicking guitar will evoke emotions.

​This EP with 4 versions of the track ‘When I Get Ya’ sounds rather nice to me. 

​This album is for me a nice introduction to this contemporary jazz band. 

​The release ‘Things That I Used To Do’ is a beautiful record, wich has been finally been cleaned up..! This all is great Chicago blues, some New Orleans piano blues tunes and a few emotional ballads that should not be missing in the collection of any true blues lover. Briljant…!
