​‘Waiting For The Daylight’ illustrates a new chapter in Erja’s musical and artistic trajectory. The album was proudly produced by Lyytinen herself. Subsequently, Erja simultaneously explored sounds on the periphery of the blues-rock genre. She fearlessly pushed herself and the band further than previously before.
 

​Onstage, Tim “Too Slim” Langford leaps into action, backed up by Zach Kasik on bass and Jeff “Shakey” Fowlkes on the drums. ‘Brace Yourself’ is the new live album by blues rockers Too Slim And The Taildraggers. It's a sizzling, energetic live set, recorded at Ohme Gardens in Wenatchee WA. It shows this album the true strength and versatility of the band. They create many influences in these original compositions and the songs show a mixture of classic rock, blues rock and Americana. All also have a lot of songs with a clear hint to that early electric blues and blues rock. It is high time to unleash Too Slim and The Taildraggers on our European audience. What a live performance! And now.. Replay, please! 

Blues-based tunes with original twists, intensive playing and evocative vocals makes this debut worth listening….recommended!

​Preach to my Soul, Mackenzie’s third studio album, pushes the boundaries with his talent, passion, and an incredible team behind the album. Spencer Mackenzie has developed his own sound, a vintage sound, a style that resonates and also has the phrasing of a seasoned musician. And this despite his young age. Great! 

​Chris Antonik has recorded his most divergent record. This is how modern blues should sound! The release ‘Morningstar’ is the fourth studio album by Canadian blues rock guitarist, singer-songwriter and multi Maple Blues Award nominee Chris Antonik. With some special guests like Jarekus Singleton , Multiple Maple Blues Award winner Paul Deslauriers and Mike Mattison (Tedeschi Trucks Band, Derek Trucks Band), Chris went into the studio. The album 'Morningstar' is an upbeat mix of incendiary blues rock songs, which welcome a poignant songwriting and sonic landscapes. Antonik's guitar sound nails itself with some unbridled cruelty and the necessary passion.

​Emanuel Casablanca, the former Gibson USA artist, masterfully shows his prowess as a guitarist on this release. With a lots of guest artist, and a solid and consistent backing beatlaid down by the rhythm section, this album achieves many new heights. 

​Dennis Johnson has known as a world class slide guitar player, Johnson delivers an album of blues rockers, roots standouts mixed with gospel and country elements, and a slide guitar infused emotional instrumental. ‘Revelation’ is much more of a blues rock record. Check it out! 

Rik Meijer has made a statement with his self-titled debut album. Musically the offer varies from soul, ballads to blues and blues rock. Handsome and highly recommended release…!

​While Sass Jordan is celebrated as a multi-platinum selling premiere rock singer, her 2020 album, Rebel Moon Blues, demonstrated that she sings the blues with as much power and authenticity as she personified in the rock world. Following up on the rave reviews garnered by Rebel Moon Blues, Sass continues to mine her talent as a blues singer with 8 new tracks on Bitches Blues, on Stony Plain Records.

​Dana Fuchs is one of the most admired blues-rock stars in the world today. Her latest effort ‘Borrowed Time’, finds her revisiting her southern rock roots with a deliciously dangerous collection of her incredible songs and lyrics. The record 'Borrowed Time', which is again released on the Ruf Records label, is the successor to the successful 'Love Lives On' from 2018. Dana's producer Bobby Harlow (Detroit Cobras, Samantha Fish) managed to capture the intensity, necessity, power, reticence and passion of Dana's live show on this studio album in its rawest form. That is also Fuch's most rocking and musical offering in her career. Great! 

Soulful second album from singer-songwriter Peter Rogan, backed up with great Nashville names.   ​

​Zito now has many Blues Music Award awards in his trophy cabinet, is co-owner of the Gulf Coast Records label and has now made a statement with 'Blues From The Southside' with this live album. It was recorded on November 26, 2021 at the Old Rock House in St. Louis, Missouri, and produced by vocalist/guitarist Mike Zito. The album 'Blues From The Southside' is a first musical testament for Mike Zito. Highly recommended!

​The release 'Devil May Care' is the twentieth album for the seasoned blues rocker Tinsley Ellis. Since his Alligator debut 'Georgia Blue' in 1988, Tinsley has developed his own personal sound and style. Contrary to some blues rockers, he doesn't rely on string violence and a lot of unnecessary musical streaks. His songs tell lifelike stories and his guitar solos are created to fit those original lyrics. He has been on the route for almost four decades! Tinsley is a master of that overwhelming guitar sound. Phrases and pauses, nothing is strange to him. 'Devil May Care' is packed with memorable original songs and intense and emotional guitar tunes. Tinsley combines all this with his raw and straight-from-the-shoulder vocals. 'Devil May Care' will be released on January 21, 2022. Highly recommended release....!

​Award-winning Canadian blues guitarist and bandleader Colin James has his 20th release in the stores with the album 'Open Road'. He has been in the business for more than thirty years and has a trophy cabinet that really bulges with many awards. The release 'Open Road' is yet another collaboration with his longtime creative partner Dave Meszaros as producer. The resulting record was mixed at Abbey Road Studios in London and bends into his Americana, roots and blues territory. Highly recommend release..! 

​Hughes Taylor hails from Macon, Georgia. He was drawn to the blues almost immediately when he first picked up a guitar. Hughes is therefore an experienced guitarist with a beautiful voice. Tayor has developed his signature style with that fiery blues rock. He has already grown again as a musician, songwriter and producer. The songs were pinned together during the pandemic and recorded at the legendary Capricorn Sound Studios. Musically it is a mixture of blues, blues-rock and Southern rock. There is enough diversity in the release 'Modern Nostalgia' to keep it all interesting. 

​The release 'Time Clocks' shows Joe Bonamassa's musical evolution. Who likes to resist and defy the laws of the music industry. It's another masterpiece from a blues rock artist who is deeply rooted in the blues scene.

Jan Jaspers (vocals, guitar), drummer Gert Servaes, Patrick Louis (vocals, guitar) and harmonica virtuoso Fabian 'The Lord' Bennardo form the basis for that exciting sound. The third release 'Love Me Some' is packed with twelve delicious and honest songs. The bonus tracks 'Howl' and 'Mine All Mine were even mixed in the studio by Jim Diamond, known for his work with The White Stripes. Boogie Beasts open in their appropriate blues style. The rough swampy harp and slide guitar, pounding bass lines and drum punches make this all so recognizable. And that is the identity of this band. Highly recommended release !

​The release "Flathead" is an album full of covers, but thankfully Seth Lee Jones gives a unique twist to the songs. Handsome, clever and so also highly recommended..!

​This album is a tribute to Chambers mentor, and friend, the late great Hubert Sumlin. With a penchant for blues rock, Sean also idolized some blues masters such as Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf and of course Hubert Sumlin. With these mentors in his mind, he founded his first band around the age of nineteen. Sean Chambers is an exemplary and highly talented guitarist who also is infused with a great voice. Highly recommended album…!

​In March 2019 Krissy released his latest studio album 'Monster in Me'. Until now on the label Ruff Records 'Pizza Man Blues' is presented. This includes nine songs all written during and about the worldly Lockdown, and how it all touched him personally. Krissy opens like a busy rocker with the heavy 'Mayday'. But also songs like 'The Man Said No' , the great observation in 'Anti-Social Media' , the transcendent 'Hairdryin' Drummer Man' and also that sublime version of 'Grateful' Unplugged, with the glorious vocal talent of Layla Zoe and Felix Peikli is a great song. Krissy Matthews gives the listener a rhetoric of his personal musical expression.

​The second album ‘Drowning In Blue’  blends hardrock and blues but forgets to surprise the listener. So If you want to learn more about Until The Sun, start with their debut Blackheart.
But if you are a blues addict, go straight for ‘Drowning in Blue’.  

​Strong album from the 79 years old ‘bard’ Roger Chapman. Almost six decades of being a rocksinger results in releasing one of his best albums.  Strongly recommended!

Raw but also gentle guitar-lead bluesrock album from the unknown talented Londoner Scott McKeon.  Time to look further than your bloody nose. This can turn into a legendary album.

​The Covid 19 pandemic, unfortunately we still cannot get out of it. And also Popa Chubby, like so many of us, is almost completely bored. Although a musician is always inspired to write a lot of songs. Popa used his time useful, wrote many songs together and recorded eleven unadulterated blues rock tracks. The result is the release "Tinfoil Hat",  an album that he dedicates in memory of all of Covid’s victims. The songs where recorded at his Chubbyland studio in Hudson Valley. As a multi-instrumentalist, Popa plays all the instruments by himself. He immediately denounces the policy that Trump pursued during the lockdown in the title track.
The tone has been set, the musical path has been paved. Popa Chubby is diverging like never before. Superb release...!

​As a production manager, Jamie found none other than Phil Andrews. The company went to the NAM Studio in Holt, Wilshire and recorded ten imperfect blues rock songs. It has become an exciting mixture of instrumentals and vocal numbers. But luckily, guitar wizard Jamie doesn't get into that, all too often narrow-minded and one-sided blues rock corner. No, this album is so much more. Variation is one of the strong points of culmination. The blues rocker "Aces And Eights" may open the dance. It would immediately guide the release. Handsome…!
