This Savoy Brown record is so refreshing!  The Title track VooDoo Moon is a wonderful soulful blues number. This is a must get for all Savoy Brown fans and any Blues fans looking for a record to get excited about! Kim Simmonds is always tastful in his playing. One word sums up my thoughts on this record WOW!

Tribute to his heroes is a pretty dman good one!

Wonderful new album from a guy whos sounds really comfortable with his lot!

The swan song of aging vocal artists is sometimes pretty thin and often disappointing. Not so this outing by the inimitable Etta James. The vocal register is lower. The pace is slower. But she's still belting out classic jazz and R&B songs to that funky groove that makes you want to rub up against someone. I could wear out a turntable listening to Misty Blue as I did when I was a teenager. Cigarettes and Coffee is paen to the great Otis Redding, but with a vibe that is all Etta. Of 11 tracks on The Dreamer, there's not a weak cut in the bunch.

Fronted by Blues Travellers John Popperwell on vocals and harmonica, DT are in a soulful/bluesy mood on this album. Some fin vocal performances from JP.

 



Features Doyle Bramhall II as co producer and guitarist plus Sheryl Crow , Allen Toussaint , Wynton Marsalis , JJ Cale, and New Orleans trumpeter Troy Andrews (got a great album of his own folks!)......a sleeper of an album which gets better the more you listen to it....don't expect roaring lead guitar breaks though as that is not where Eric is these days!

I bought the first Honeytribe CD and thought it was great so I bought the second one. It too is a great CD. Excellent musicianship and production. Well I had the pleasure of seeing Honeytribe in concert this past weekend and all I can say is these 2 CD's do not do the band justice. They were so heavy and intense I couldn't believe it. From the opening song right through to the encore they were smokin' hot and just blew the audience away. Buy the CD's because they are good and you will love them but you have to see Honeytribe live to really appreciate the music. Devon Allman is a very creative and talented blues rock guitarist and he has a very powerful voice. The rhythm section was one of the tightest and innovative I have ever seen........... www.amazon.com

as contemporary Americana gets,

like Charlie Patton, Doc Boggs and
Bukka White, calling upon banjo,
fingerpicked guitar, harmonica and
a rigidly primitive recording sound.

Grammy Award and Handy Award Nominee, John Primer's history is the real deal! John's life started in Camden Mississippi on his grandmother's sharecropper land, dreaming of a better life and working in the fields. His biggest dream in life was to someday play his guitar with his idol Muddy Waters. John ended up doing that and much, much more! John should be credited for helping Muddy Waters bring the Blues to Chicago and for taking it into the 21st Century. John has been that perfect liaison, filling the gap between the older traditional style and the younger Chicago Blues style. John went from field songs and gospels, into traditional Blues, then R&B and Soul then finally pioneering the infamous Chicago Blues style we know today. All Original is a dream come true for John. 12 all original songs recorded for his very own record label, Blues House Productions, is another first. Cataloging his own music, writing, producing, teaching young musicians and sharing his experiences with the world is now his focus and life mission. All Original starts out fast with "Add A Little Touch", shaking you up and getting you ready for a for a full Blues Experience. "Going Back To Mississippi" pays tribute to his home and let's you into his heart. "I Called My Baby" is a slide guitar lovers dream! "Everyday Brings By A Change" is one of John's favorites and represents how he looks at life. "All Original" ends with "Love In My Heart For You" a traditional acoustic duet with just John and Harmonica Hinds.(Amazon)

UK Bluesman whose work goes
from strength to strength. This album shows his versatility. Excellent. 

One of the greatest hitmakers of the postwar R&B era, Amos Milburn wrote and recorded uproarious odes to sex, booze and all-night partying. It was rock 'n' roll in all but name. Amos rocked the house for the Los Angeles-based Aladdin label right from the beginning. At his debut session in 1946, he waxed a piledriving 'Down The Road Apiece', and he kept the late '40s R&B hit parade jumping with 'Chicken Shack Boogie', 'Roomin' House Boogie' and 'Sax Shack Boogie'. They're all here on 'Amos Rocks,' along with his odes to the bottle, like 'Bad, Bad Whiskey', 'Let Me Go Home Whiskey', and 'One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer' Plus, there's Amos' torrid '56 remake of 'Chicken Shack Boogie' cut in New Orleans with Lee Allen on sax and Earl Palmer driving the drumbeat. Long before Fats Domino or any of his fellow revolutionaries came anywhere near a studio, Amos Milburn rocked! (amazon.com)

Little Black Rose- Maria Forde (2009)

 With his stellar reputation as a contemporary jazz guitarist firmly established, Jeff Golub's "Blues For You" brings everything full circle. Produced by John Porter (Los Lonely Boys, Ryan Adams, buddy Guy), the album brilliantly maintains Jeff's jazz identity, while traveling to territory that any fan of blues-rock will find a real pleasure to visit. Making the trip with Jeff are no less than four classic rock vocalists: Billy Squier, Marc Cohn, John Waite and Peter Wolf. (amazon.com)

 

This stunning live recording captures legendary guitarist Robben Ford at his very best, perfectly displaying his unique style; one that combines, yet transcends, his roots in jazz, fusion, blues, soul and rock, distilling the past into the moment,and always with an eye on the future. "I wanted to capture that experience of playing live. "I find it has a lot more impact than a studio recording. Music is a living, breathing thing. Real art is timeless. It doesn't have a beginning and an end. It's all about the present moment," Ford says. Soul on Ten was Recorded Live at The Independent in San Francisco,CA throughout the month of April 2009. The album includes Robben Ford's classics, as well as three brand new Robben Ford compositions.

Died too early in 2009...this album shows what a great
artist he was.

How the hell they left this out from original movie beats me!
Wonderful stuff.
