​The release 'Cow Country', a quirky mixture of blues, country, bluegrass and Americana. Jack is supported by guitarist Herman “Bluesman” Frank and seasoned musicians Johannes Blanksma on drums and Rob Taekema on bass. Opening with a song like 'Ain't Waitin' is like kicking in an open door for Jack. His rough voice nails itself like an ideality to his intended sound. Jack Bottleneck has achieved his next highlight with the album 'Cow Country'. Great!

​The release ‘Gone, Long Gone’ is just the first of three new albums that Steve created during the lockdown.  The next two will come to light over three month intervals throughout 2022.  His subtle vocals in the title track are supported by fine guitar, pedal steel and a virtual string quartet with Ben Plotnick and Kaitlyn Raitz from Nashville. It shows how underrated Dawson as a singer really is. Jeremy Holmes keeps it all together with his bass lines, the drumming is split between Gary Craig and Jay Bellerose. Steve opens with the soul track 'Dimes', to continue his way with 'King Bennie Had His Shit Toghter', which is colored with upright bass, barrelhouse piano and a lot of bottleneck. With 'Bad Omen' we go to the deep Delta, and the pedal steel inspired 'Kulaniapia Waltz' rightly gives us a lot of goose bumps. Great stuff!

​A singer-songwriter as living example for other musicians how to write, to perform and to touch (your mind).

​Keep Roland Roberts in mind. This guy will succeed with lovely poetic folksongs. Strong debut!

​Jesper Theis was once a teacher in Aalborg, until he followed his heart, quit his job and started a musically professionally career. Inspired by blues, folk, gospel and the track ‘Coco Blues’.
A blues traditional by Reverend Gary Davis, which drove him straight to the Delta and which he also recorded on his debut album "Narrow Line", on the Straight Shooter Line label. Now Jesper Theis is promoting his new record "The Tide Will Turn Again". Jesper retains his love for that pre-war blues style, which he sometimes mixed with that handsome roots and country blues structure. What a wonderfully rough voice Jesper has. Steeped in Old Smokey and White Dog Moonshine, he squeezes through his original song material. Country blues, some ballads, and even a Cajun song... ‘The Tide Will Turn Again’, well that is a release that every true blues lover should have in his record collection…!

​We will never know where this journey will end. But the release "Where The Roads Leads" diverges just enough to keep all this exciting. Mark Viator and Susan Maxey have released a string of quality albums over the years. Their latest record 'Where The Road Leads' is full of heartfelt songs inspired by Texas twang and Cajun.

​That we can still enjoy these kinds of records in 2020, hallelujah ..! Erin Harpe goes back to her roots in Piedmont for this intimate acoustic country blues album. This self-produced album was recorded in her home studio in June 2020 while she was in quarantine with husband / bassist / audio engineer Jim Countryman.

​For his brand new album "Everything Can Change", Adam present again an mix of original songs and some covers. Together with drummer Marc-André Drouin and bassist Richard Deschenes, he moved into the AudioBec studio. The beautifully constructed and acoustic "It's Your Song" is a mixture between blues and country, just like "Fair Verona Blues" is an exciting Delta blues song.
Handsome release…!

​Natural talent, combined with endless hours of practice, allowed Federico to evolve rapidly and present his record "Walking The Blues". A seven track album that includes his creative songwriting as well as his great guitar playing. Featuring guest artists such as Alexis Baro, Anthony Brancati, Joey Landreth, Matt Schofield, Alison Young and others, “Walkin The Blues” proves to be an explosive mix of blues, rock, jazz and country music.

​Andrew Alli, now thirty-three, is from Richmond, VA, the same area as his mentor, the Piedmont harp master, Phil Wiggins. He started his music career at 21 after being inspired by a street musician who played the harmonica. Alli's debut record was recorded at Jon Atkinson's' Bigtone Studio and features nine original tracks and three classic covers of Little Walter (One More Change), Walter Horton's "Walters Sun" and "Good Things" by George Smith. Andrew is a true sensation that has developed its own unique playing style. The blues heritage is therefore more than respected.

​Reverend Freakchild seems to be a reincarnation of a very old blues artist who is crossing the crossroads. On his 12th album "The Bodhisattva Blues" he inspired us with beautiful Psychedelic Country Blues.

​Rott'n Dan and the Lightnin' Willy are an acoustic duo focusing on Pre War, Piedmont and Country Blues. In doing so they are paying homage to the greats such as Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Robert Johnson, Blind Boy Fuller and Mississippi John Hurt, to name a few.
Briljant!

​Kathryn Damaris Hobgood and David Eugene Ray met each other in 2001 during a songwriters evening in their hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana. Both write songs that go in the direction of blues, Americana, folk rock and country blues. They wrote the album "I Dream of Water" with the perspective and reflection on their experiences from their beloved Louisiana. And that is also their music, their sound ..Great !

​The release ‘Outskirts Of Love’ marks a milestone in Sue Decker’’s capacity for crafting soundscapes, that tell each song’s unique story. From solo country blues to evocative ballads to full band soul arrangements, Outskirts features contributions from Bill Johnson, Damian Graham, Paul Black, Adam Dobres, and Kelly Fawcett.

Beautiful country blues and catchy boogies that Doctor Ross recorded as 'one man band' in the period 1951-1962

The twelve tracks on Steve's eighth album are almost timeless stories from the first half of the twentieth century. The acoustic guitar arrangements and fingerpicking ’guitar styles are beautifully constructed highlights. 

Adam Holt, from Baldwin County, Alabama, is proud to promote his new album ‘Kind Of Blues’. And the title is significant, it is indeed a true reflection of differentiated blues styles.
It is great a mixture of blues, country, rock and some Americana tunes. Highly recommended..!

Wouter Verhelst and Ilse Van Dooren are a duo who share the passion for blues, country blues, roots music and swinging rock and roll. Acoustic guitars, blues harp, vintage footstamping, percussion and exciting vocals are the basis for their fourteen original songs. The rhythms surprise almost pleasantly in every song. Great stuff..!

It’s never too late to show your talent, to leave your message, to entertain the world. Dave Rosewood can touch you!

With a sound that is raw, expressive, and strange, Lonesome Shack's music is part hill country blues, part urban folk rock, and owes as much to Alan Wilson's Canned Heat as it does to Junior Kimbrough. The trio is led by Ben Todd, a finger picking guitarist who has spent time living in a shack in the NM desert where he learned how to play old blues and banjo tunes from vintage recordings. Desert Dreams sounds like rock city meets backwoods boogie, desert blues meets jungle grooves.

​With 16 songs by Guy Clark, Steve Earle and the Dukes bring a sublime tribute to this legend, who died too early.

Three Rivers is the fourth album of the Canadian singer-songwriter Jordan Officer.  For his inspiration he went to Clarksdale Mississippi and found the real melancholic spirit he was looking for.

With traditionals accompanied by a personal arrangement, covers of songs from Mississippi John Hurt and Blind Blake, John Oates and The Good Road Band bring a fine tribute to the music from the Mississippi Delta before World War II.

Nikole Potulsky stirs the raw emotion of the blues, the call to action of folk, the storytelling of country music with the longing for salvation of gospel.

We keep absolutely a mature feeling about this album. John Cee Stannard knows how to play the country blues.
