The full album is Chicago blues of a high level. And a better farewell than with  Otis Spann's ‘Spann’s Boogie’ we could not imagine. Bring urgently this project to the Benelux countries. The album 'Friday Night' is a killer!

Indeed, a fresh and inspiring perspective on world Music.

A new EP with 6 tracks that range in style from hard rock to pop. Nice disc.

This beautiful Music fits wonderfully to practice yoga, meditation, Reiki and massage.

For this album, the lead singer of Depeche Mode, Dave Gahan worked for the second time with the production duo Soulsavers. Gahan replaced the electronics of Depeche Mode by handcrafted instruments and created a dark sound with elements of blues and gospel. From now on Gahan stands on his own two feet and that is awesome!

The Los Angeles based Chris Laterzo is strongly influenced by Neil Young and you can hear it clearly in some of his songs. On the other hand you also can hear influences of the sound of the sixties, such as The Byrds. Chris defines his music as American cowboy music, and that's a very good description. Just a pity that the running time is only a good half hour

With their exiting bluesrock are the Brothers a fresh sound for this blue world.

A blend of fine acoustic, folk, jazzy and prog rock elements.

An expanded edition of the debut album of this British proto prog band.

The roots country, country rock, folk rock and Americana songs of The Turnpike Troubadours  are so wonderful that words are not enough. If you like good old country in a modern jacket, then hurry to get a copy of this album. You won’t regret it!

American inspired rock music on three albums from this British band, now compiled on 2 CD’s, with some bonus tracks.

A comeback from a strong songwriter and producer. He’s back into R&B and dance!

Kris is currently the number one artist in Canada on ReverbNation and that’s not bad. His music should be picked up by all commercial radiostations all over the world. What he presents here is simply beautiful. His music deserves all kind of promotion everywhere on this globe. A man who knows how to compose great terrific songs. Top!!

The 70-year-old Kinky Friedman makes with this album his first studio album since 32 years. He was previously known for his sharp satirical lyrics, but this album sounds a lot more emotional. He chose songs of his idols like Cash, Zevon, Waits, Haggar and a few original ones. Friedman’s unique hoarse voice, with the acoustic guitar as the main accompaniment, give the songs about grief, loss and regret extra shine.

This anthology brings 19 tracks by British singer Jenny Darren, who brings mostly rock and ballads. Recommended for fans of retro rock music. 

On a first listen 'Squelch' is a successful country album. But there's more. The lyrics are often politically charged or criticize the establishment. Jason Boland found the perfect way to bring them together with the melodious country. ‘Squelch’ is a revelation!

Latin vibes and lounge, chillout and house.

A lively voice, heavenly pedal steel, creative acoustic guitar and profound lyrics  form a charming alternative country album. And do not forget to pay attention to the often unexpected and strange intros. Are these perhaps the "Crazy Things"?. Well done Duane!

The somewhat hoarse voice of Deeann Dominy sounds a bit like Janis Joplin. With six original blue-eyed soul, country rock and americana songs and one cover, Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s ‘Can’t No Grave Hold My Body Down’, Deeann proves that she is not just a singer. She ‘s a natural talent in the hands of the great Anson Funderburgh, who did a great job as producer and guitar player on this album.

Rod McKuen is best known for his hit "Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes. This album is a compilation of Rods recordings from the 50s and early 60s. With minimal musical accompaniment McKuen recites or sings his poetic lyrics. With the long winter evenings in front, this album is the perfect soundtrack for an evening of homely cosiness. And don’t forget the wine!

Wild River’s Wilfried Arens has released a new album, this time under the Over The Ocean moniker. Eight new songs, with lyrics that are inspired by the poems of Nicholas Gordon. Arens is accompanied by Walter Dedrie on saxophone, David Roberts on vocals and his Wild River partner in crime Serge Sorber. Arens is the man behind the keys (and, dare I say it, the chords?). Roberts is blessed with a golden voice that’s a mix between Bruce Dickinson and Steve Perry. The highlight, however, is the instrumental track called ‘Moonlight Dancing’, that reminded me of ‘The Eve of the War’ from ‘Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds’. ‘Roswell 1947’ is an instrumental ditty too (save for a few spoken word passages), and it’s a cracker as well. What does Over The Ocean have in store for the future? We wait with bated breath.

The album 'I Feel Go By "is more than a worthy and strong successor to the award-winning ‘Electric Blues’.

Many music lovers find this album one of his better albums. However, I found it a bit lacking in diversity. Fortunately he was able to make this album with talented musicians like Rick Wakeman, Dave Swarbrick, Tim Renwick and Roger Taylor. Each of them have contributed here on their own way.

When listening to this beautiful album I already felt a little bit of what we could expect on 'The Year of The Cat'. 'Modern Times' is another fine example of craftsmanship ... and not just from him.
Thanks Esoteric Recordings we can again enjoy of one of the many overlooked gems in the British contemporary music history.  Awesome moments to cherish forever...
