Fine effort from the Atlanta, Georgia-based combo feat. Patrick Vining, a fine old-style singer. David B. plays a mean guitar, rough, wild, and dirty. If you dig Duke Robillard, you will love those guys. A good one. PATRICK VINING 'voc,...
16-year-old guitar player and vocalist, half Britisch, half Norwegian. This young man sounds like a pretty talented guitar player. But he's too young to sing the blues.
French band covering a lot of ground, from (almost) acoustic renditions of traditional style blues, to easy going electric tunes, sometimes with a nod to country and hillbilly music. NICO BACKTON ' gtrs/voc, RICHIE FARET ' hca, CHRIS...
British bluesrock at its best. This set of originals is reminding me of Chris Rea and his contemporaries. MICKY MOODY ' gtr/kbds/bass/voc, OLLIE PARFITT ' kbds, NEIL MURRAY ' bass, MICKY MOODY JR. ' drums.
Rock-solid and swinging r&b combo, devoted to the music of the '40s and '50s. Great playing. Recommended, not only for dancing. -Digipak. JOE SPINACI - voc/gtr, JOHAN LIEDBERG - ten, MATTIAS CARLSON - ten/bar, MATTIAS NILSON - pno,...

Punk-fueled powerhouse trio from San Jose, CA. They play blues the old-fashioned way: no bass player! What you'll hear is hardcore high-energy, greasy blues based on hypnotic rhythms and grooves. All original material. Highly recommended...
Forty years after his '2.6 years of rock stardom' as he refers to the period The Blues Project made it's mark on American music, founder, guitarist and vocalist Danny Kalb re-appears on the NYC music scene with this CD release. He was a...
Another beautiful set of recordings, produced by Duke Robillard. Bryan Lee sounds relaxed and happy. He has one of the most significant voices in today's blues world, soulful and full of emotions. As a guitar player, he ranks amongst the...
Re-issue of an album that was recorded at a time when Rory was rather frustrated with the perspectives of his life. RORY GALLAGHER - gtr/voc/hca, BOB ANDREWS - kbds, GERRY McAVOY - bass, BRENDAN O'NEILL - drums, plus horns.
