Produced by the late Willie Mitchell. Since forming Hi-Records he had been dreaming of recording Solomon Burke. Finally, in 2008, with a 35-year-delay his dream came true. But Mitchell died in January 2010 before the project was...
Lavishly illustrated 8-plated digipak w/ a 32-page booklet. Blues and roots, reduced to the essentials. Lyrics, whispered with a breath. Almost complete acoustic back-up, sparse sounds. Dark and moody. Exciting.
Promising 20-year-old guitar player and vocalist from England's North East. He sounds like a blend of Walter Trout and Stevie Ray Vaughan. His voice needs a few more years to mature. MITCH LADDIE - gtr/voc, RHIAN WILINSON - bass, LEE...

He recorded his debut album at age seventeen. 'Open Road' led to rave reviews by critics and fans, alike. Oli's a great player with his own style, a mature sounding vocalist and a talented songwriter. He doesn't copy nobody. Mike Vernon,...
Young Dutch guitarist, singer and composer.He likes the blues, and he loves Prince, soul and hip hop. He also admires The Police or John Mayer. Good production, original material.
His fans, me included, have waited a long time for his first solo album. Moeller got well-known and respected as the guitar player in Kim Wilson's band. Johnny plays the blues with his razor-sharp trademark tone. He's also known for his...
He's the leading boogie woogie player, worldwide. To record his latest album he went to London where he was joined by two stellar players from the UK. A perfect set of recordings. Comes with a 32page booklet with liner notes in German...
One of the most successful Dutch blues bands of all times with a great set of new recordings. Re-makes of classic blues songs, a treat I usually can not stand. But these guys (and especially vocalist Tineke) got the class and the nerv to...
Great new, 'young' band from Canada. This trio features the talents of Tony D., one of the most-respected bluesmen in his country. The drummer has been drumming forever, and Steve Mariner first came to my attention as the 16-year-old in...

Songs dealing with the dark sides of life. Perfectly transformed into blues by a stellar crew of players. In every sense, Janiva is one of today's most attractive blues performers. She's not a songwriter, though. But she has a deep...
Follow-up to his self-produced 2007 debut. Matt now is under the roof of Nick Moss's Chicago-based Blue Bella label. Another great set of 'soul-drenched roots and blues guitar instrumentals'. These days, Matt is working with Charlie...
Third album from one of Europe's most original creole music bands. They started as Cajun and zydeco cover band. Today, they are mixing a variety of different musical sources and styles to their music. Highly recommended. CYRIL YETERIAN...
Germany's most-experienced and well-travelled blues band. Founded in the late 1970s by leader Toscho T., the band performs a set of mostly original songs. Cool, laidback feel on this excellent recording. Recommended. TODOR TODOROVIC -...
Ali's last recordings, made in London. A great album, posthumously released. Beautiful songs from their Mali home. No blues in a narrower sense; but there is a certain relationship in American blues and African tradition. ALI FARKA TOURé...
