The Nick Moss Band feat. Dennis Gruenling - The High Cost Of Low Living (2018)

The High Cost Of Low Living’ is no recycling of old songs. Moss wrote eight memorable new originals and Gruenling wrote two, all deeply rooted in the blues tradition with a touch of old school rock ‘n’ roll. Produced by guitarist Kid Andersen and Moss and recorded at Rancho de Rhythm in Elgin, Illinois, the album is a joyous sonic blast of pure blues power.

Jody Williams -You Left Me In The Dark (2004)

In the mid-1950s, Williams was one of the most sought-after session guitarists in Chicago, but he was little known outside the music industry, since his name rarely appeared on discs. His acclaimed comeback in 2000 led to a resurgence of interest in his early work and a reappraisal as one of the great blues guitarists.

The Groundhogs - Scratching The Surface (1968) [Bonus Tracks]

The Groundhogs' debut album is a long way from the "classic" sound of the better-known Thank Christ for the Bomb/Split/Who Will Save the World? trilogy. Indeed, the mellow classic blues through which the band pursues its nine tracks offer the unsuspecting listener little more than a direct blast from the peak of the British blues boom past. Early Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack, and Savoy Brown all haunted precisely the same corridors as Scratching the Surface, with only the occasional burst of fuzzed Tony McPhee guitar to distinguish the sonics from the rest of the pack. That said, Scratching the Surface ranks among the finest albums to emerge out of that entire period, a moody shuffle that includes an epic recounting of the Chicago classic "Still a Fool" and which matches five solid McPhee originals with a pair of blistering contributions from outgoing harmonica whiz Steve Rye. In fact, his "Early in the Morning" and "You Don't Love Me" might well be the album's best numbers, a discrepancy that puts one in mind of another of the blues boom's hottest acts, Jethro Tull, and just how much they changed once a founding member (Mick Abrahams) departed. Again, if you arrive at Scratching the Surface in search of a fresh "Cherry Red" or "Status People," you'll probably be disappointed. But if you want to hear the blues sluicing straight out of the Southern England Delta, there are precious few better introductions.

The Mark Gamblin Band - Down to the Station (2011)

Down to the Station’ is one of those live studio recordings where a band is captured in their best environment. The 15 songs are all written by band leader and guitarist Mark Gamblin and show a clear affinity for the blues, with the guitar mixing well with Keyboards and Saxophone, particularly on the rock funk ‘Talking the Blues’ where the sound gremlins don’t peak as much as they have been. This would be an excellent live set and album opener, as opposed to the piano and guitar duet, ‘Four Small Steps’ which   opens the album. Support comes from Chris Jayne on rhythm guitar, Andy Lee on Keyboards, Sam Pitt on Drums, Lloyd Arrow and Steve  Fenimore on Bass and the Saxophone of Rob Richardson.

Beefeaters - Meet You There (1969)

 Beefeater was a Danish band born in the sixties whose initial training was formed by Erling Madsen on guitar, Morten Kjaerumgard on keyboards, Keith Volkersen on bass and Max Bhuthzhi on drums
 
In 1966 enters Peter Thorup replacing Erling Madsen. The following year they released their first album "Beefeaters" with which they achieved some local success and the possibility of opening concerts in their country for people like Hendrix, Mayall, Pink Floyd or Alexis Corner. This last one establishes a great friendship with Thorup until the point of collaborating in the second disc of the band, "Meet You There" (1969) and even later it would leave the formation to embark with Alexis in diverse projects. The group continued its journey until 1971.

Sam Lay Blues Band - Rush Hour Blues (1996)

Veteran Chicago drummer Sam Lay is a famous behind-the-scenes blues and rock character--he played with the great Howlin' Wolf in the '60s, backed Bob Dylan when he "went electric" at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival and was an early member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. He isn't famous for singing, however, and that's the main problem with the latest of his many collaborations with guitarist Fred James. The band's rhythm section is as strong as you'd expect, with Lay and acoustic bassist Bob Kommersmith locking into confident, slightly laid-back grooves on "Baby How Long" and the closing instrumental "Midnight Drag." But despite Lay's deep, funny charisma on "I Like Women" and "I Got Two Women," he was better at backing the Wolf than he is replacing him.

Pinetop Perkins - Pinetop's Boogie Woogie (1992)

The maze of new and recent discs by this veteran Chicago piano man can be daunting, but rest assured that this is one of his best to date. Many of the songs are Perkins standbys -- "Kidney Stew," "Caldonia," and of course, "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie" -- but the backing here is so stellar (sidemen include harpists James Cotton and Kim Wilson, guitarists Matt Murphy, Jimmy Rogers, Hubert Sumlin, and Duke Robillard, and several driving rhythm sections) -- that the project rises above most of Perkins's output.

Blue Larry Blue - Big Blue World (2000)

The tones in that first Harmony-Stella guitar have carried Larry Sandlin from jamming with the records of his youth to sharing the stage with the likes of Preston Shannon and the Gamble Brothers Band on Beale Street. 

Larry’s influences include The Allman Brothers, Steve Miller, and The Band, but it was the song styles of Willie Dixon and Muddy Waters that helped create “Blue Larry Blue.”

BluesPower - Spare Parts (2002)

At the Heart of BluesPower are members Scot Clark (Guitar-Vocals) Erwin Kreiner (Bass-Vocals) & James "Chubbs" Heimbuch (Drums-Vocals), all original members since they formed back in October of 1994. Their music can best be described as "High-Energy Blues", but with the capability to switch to 'Low Down' Blues, Jazz, Country, or Rock 'n' Roll at the drop of a hat.
