Review: Taj Mahal en Keb’ Mo’ – Room On The Porch
‘Room On The Porch’ is een zeer goed mainstream getint -en dus prima beluisterbaar- album is, dat het succes van ‘TajMo’ minstens zal evenaren en mogelijk zal overtreffen.

Review: Matt Schofield Trio – Many Moons Vol. 1
De originele bezetting is weer bijeen en het Matt Schofield Trio laat er geen gras over groeien. Meer dan blues, want onder meer jazz-achtige muzikale uitstapjes worden niet geschuwd.
Concertverslag: Seasick Steve
Het bleef nog lang gezellig in en buiten de Boogie Barn. Ik hoorde alleen maar lovende woorden over dit optreden en die kan ik alleen maar beamen!
Review: Joanne Shaw Taylor – Black & Gold
Overall, I would say that ‘Black & Gold’ is a true musical treat, wonderfully performed, immaculately produced, proving that Taylor is among the leading musicians in this genre! Play it LOUD and Black & Gold even gets 25% better for sure!

It is a bittersweet, soulful ballad inspired by a real heartbreak.

Review: Gary Moore Live – From Baloise Session
‘Live From Baloise Session’ is a wonderful guitar album and highlights everything that made Gary Moore the blues “master;” a spectacular late-period live performance by this deathless guitar picker for sure!!
Review: Flavium – Plays Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac
Alle songs zijn herkenbaar, maar klinken door een ander arrangement toch weer anders dan het origineel. Dus geen klakkeloos kopiëren maar echt een eigen versie van deze klassieke songs.
New Release: Gary Brooker – Live At Rockpalast 1983
This Rockpalast appearance by Gary Brooker on February 18, 1983 in Hamburg’s Markthalle is unique because – it’s hard to believe – the singer, keyboardist and pianist from Procol Harum actually only gave a single solo concert with songs from his two solo albums in his long career.

Review: Mostly Autumn – Seawater
‘Seawater’, inmiddels hun 15e studioplaat, komt toch wel binnen in de top 5 van beste langspelers van de groep !
New Release: Dyer Davis – Kiss The Ring
Dyer Davis, an American singer-songwriter and guitarist is best known for his electrifying performances and a sound deeply rooted in Southern blues rock.
New Release: Reed Turchi – World On Fire
The result is a timeless recording that lands somewhere between Muddy Waters’ Folk Singer and Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, a work of devastating beauty that feels at once intensely personal and profoundly relevant.
Review: Stigma – Second Chance
So, overall, Stigma’s first full studio album is diverse and sometimes even interesting.
New Release: Rodney Crowell – Airline Highway
Full of deep empathy, sober insights, and lively guitar licks, Rodney Crowell’s new album takes its title from a seemingly mundane stretch of four-lane blacktop that runs deep into Louisiana.
Review: Yngwie Malmsteen – Tokyo Live
Op dit dubbelalbum en dvd is het absoluut genieten van zijn vakmanschap.
Review: Charlie Musselwhite – Look Out Highway
There is a lot to be enjoyed on this superb, diverse blues album. Charlie Musselwhite will have to extend his mantelpiece, as he will undoubtedly have another award coming up.
Single I Robert Jon & The Wreck – Dark Angel
“Dark Angel” tells the story of a mysterious woman in Savannah, Georgia—equal parts memory, mirage, and muse.
New Release: Styx – Circling From Above
For the new album ‘Circling From Above,’ their 3rd since 2017 and their 18th studio album is a masterclass in songwriting and their timeless ability to fuse prog-rock technicality with sing a long anthems.
Review: Little Feat – Strike Up The Band
Well did they strike up the band? Yes they tried but there’s a long distance love for the genius of Lowell George.
