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…!

​I don’t like using  superlatives, because it’s so personal.  But the album Heavy Gauge certainly  remains one of my favorite albums of the year. Recommended!

​Last year, Ally went to the Bessie Blue Studio in Stantonville, TN with producer Jim Gaines. Not an easy assignment given the known circumstances. Bassist Bobby Wallace and drummer Elijah Owings are, in addition to some notable guests, her regular soul mates. Ally Venable confirms her status as "The Hottest New Guitarist in Blues Music".

​Now they are promoting the new album 'Elmore James For President', which will be released on the Continental Record Services label. The line-up of Mama’s Boys will look slightly different in 2021. In addition to Johnny Mastro (vocals / blues harp) and guitarist Smokehouse Brown, the rhythm section now consists of drummer Jimmy Goodall, baritone guitarist John Fohl, percussionist Lisa Gee and saxophonist Tom Eisenhood. The album was already recorded in the summer of 2019 during a live session in Music Shed studio in New Orleans, LA. Johnny Mastro wrote ten of the thirteen tracks and only he is given to open very tight. Fat harptunes and those hypnotic guitar riffs and drum parts give offense to the title track.
Mud Fat New Orleans blues tunes, a rare ballad and some boogiewoogie.
Let’s boogie, all night long…!

A good thirteen minutes, neatly divided over four songs, that is our first encounter with the band Feverseed. Feverseed is a New York rock quartet founded in 2019 by singer-songwriter George Panagakos and bassist Chris Crosby. Both are multi-instrumentalists, have been writing and recording quite a few songs together for years. They have explored many musical genres, but the common thread of their melodic compositions is that exciting blues rock.

​Melodic blues and rock songs on Tim Woods third solo album.  For the intensive listener a wake-up call to mother nature.

​Inspired by the current and formerblues-rock pioneers, the band Beauwater was founded in 2008 in St. John's, Canada. And in that short span of time they have built up a versatile sound and fan base. Singer / guitarist Jonathon Reid, Greg Newhook (bass) and drummer Mike Maddox are now holding their third studio album 'Who Works For Who?' under the baptismal found. The basis remains solid blues rock, although the band aromatizes many songs with deep bluestunes. T The title track is an instant blast of a rock song. The dance is deployes…!

​The Vancouver-based rock band Terminal Station confirmed with their third full-length release. The winter blues have already disappeared! Hell yeah..!!
