​‘Connections’ is the newest CD from the legendary keyboardist Bruce Katz and his dynamic band. Recorded at famed Capricorn Studios in Macon, Georgia, this album includes ten new original tunes that explore the connections between Bruce’s many influences: Blues, New Orleans R&B, Jam Blues, Soul-Jazz, and Blues Rock. 

​The label VizzTone Records has again succeeded in adding an exciting artist to their label with J-Rad Cooley. His debut album contrasts with exciting blues, songs full of New Orleans  tunes and some rare ballads. What a debut album!

​In addition to the studio album 'Let's Get Lost', which was released in March 2021, there is also the registration 'Live At 6010'. Jon wanted to capture a recording that he embraces almost daily in his city of New Orleans. With eleven new songs we get acquainted with his sound. Jon Roniger And The Good For Nothin' Band embrace the rich sound of New Orleans in 'Live At 6010'.

Jon penned a lot of songs during the quarantine. When the coronavirus pandemic was at its peak, Jon Roniger played a live stream session every night from his home in New Orleans. The singer-songwriter wrote a lot of new music and released a brand new song every week during his nightly 'The Quarantine Sessions'. Over the course of more than 400 sessions, Jon took the time to pick out the songs he liked the most and had the most meaning to him. These 22 songs form the two albums 'Let's Get Lost' and 'Live at 6010'. The release 'Let's Get Lost' is a very divergent album that will appeal to a very wide audience. 

​With volume 13 we already made the switch from Texas to Louisiana and New Orleans. There is also much to discover musically in this region. The region is a melting pot of cultures and musical influences. The African-American music is mixed with French and Spanish influences, partly due to the presence of various population groups. This gives the music a festive, exuberant and danceable appearance. That appearance is also present on this album. The subtitle of this compilation ‘I Love To Rock ’n Roll’ clarifies what you are served.
It is a fact that Louisiana & New Orleans have a lot to offer. We are therefore curious about the following volumes compiled by Mark Armstrong. That ‘Southern Bred’ is an unmissable series is once again proven true.

​Lloyd Jones' repertoire is not limited to traditional blues and contemporary New Orleans funk. This release is inspired by the Delbert McClinton "Sandy Beaches" Cruise and brings some of Music City's coolest instrumentalists together. The fourteen songs were written by the duo Lloyd Jones and keyboardist / producer Kevin McKendree. Besides a tight rhythm section, Delbert McClinton and Teresa James are especially notable guests.  This is a true musical orgasm!

​Sam Joyner's blues and Rhythm & Blues are often framed with exciting New Orleans tunes. With the swinging track "Sam Joyner In Tha Hause" we are building another party, before we extinguish the lights with the slow blues "When You Need A Friend". The release 'When U Need A Friend' is an excellent album!

Blues Escape releases their new album on the West Coast Music label. All this resulted in a meeting four years ago between Johanna Lillvik and the blues band Hill Blue Unit in the Alingsas jazz club. The repertoire is diverse and rich in nuances, but always original and authentic South American music. Musical traditions from New Orleans are central to the sound.
Briljant. Hell Yeah… but we have a nostalgia for the Crescent City!

​Give me one good reason why this band is not better known, because I can’t come up with one. With well-chosen covers and extremely good original songs, Jersey Swamp Cats are the next big thing in jumpblues, rhythm & blues, New Orleans blues and rock & roll. What a fantastic release!

A piano player, a bass player and a drummer form the Danish L Wood Joy. For "Gumbo," the trio worked with a horn section. The 11 songs include rock & roll, New Orleans jazz, blues and boogie woogie. Despite the excellent performances of the musicians, the festive sound of New Orleans is missing. For their next album, the band better chooses instrumental songs or even better they start looking for a singer with a little more maturity.
