Chuck Berry - Live From Blueberry Hill (2021)

                                                                   Chuck Berry
 ST. LOUIS’ BLUEBERRY Hill was a special place for rock & roll innovator Chuck Berry. Not only did he perform his final show there in 2014, the musician played myriad shows at the restaurant and club in his lifetime. Now, the new live album Live From Blueberry Hill is slated for a December 17th release, featuring performances Berry recorded between July 2005 and January 2006.

The album cut “Carol/Little Queenie” drops Monday ahead of the project’s release to coincide with what would have been the late singer’s 95th birthday

Live From Blueberry Hill features 10 tracks recorded with Berry’s Blueberry Hill Band. The handpicked group of performers included his daughter and son Ingrid Berry and Charles Berry Jr. on harmonica and guitar, respectively, as well as bassist Jimmy Marsala, drummer Keith Robinson, and pianist Robert Lohr.

The finalized set list varies from covers (T-Bone Walker’s “Mean Old World”) to Berry’s biggest hits, including “Roll Over Beethoven,” “Sweet Little Sixteen,” and “Johnny B. Goode.”

Berry returned to St. Louis for what would become years of performances at Blueberry Hill in an attempt to get back to his roots. Blueberry Hill owner Joe Edwards recalls the exchange: “You know, Joe, I’d like to play a place the size of the ones I played when I first started out.” The selection of the venue was an obvious choice.

Live From Blueberry Hill marks the first release from Berry since 2017’s Oh Yeah! Live in Detroit, which came out shortly after his death.

B.B. King - Easy Listening Blues (1962)

                                                                      B.B. King
 "Easy Listening Blues" is a bit of an oxymoron, especially in the hands of B.B. King, who might be smooth and urbane in some respects, but who's rarely recorded music that could be categorized as easy listening. That's the title that Crown used, however, for this all-instrumental 1962 collection. Just prior to leaving Modern for ABC, King did a lot of recording that Modern milked for sides to put out after he'd left the company, and some think these tracks were laid down in late 1961 as part of Modern's demand. Since a big part of the pleasure of listening to B.B. King is hearing his voice, and hearing the songs he wrote and interpreted, an all-instrumental album -- no matter how competently done -- is almost bound to sound like something's missing. And although this is a competent record, it's got to rank as one of his less essential efforts, the ten numbers often sounding like warm-up tunes or background generic blues club filler, hastily ground out to meet a quota. That doesn't mean that it's worthless -- the tunes are pleasant if unimaginative, and King plays with his usual authority, making occasional nods toward the rock & roll twist craze in cuts like "Night Long" and "Hully Gully Twist" (aka "Hully Gully").

Jimi Hendrix - Live At The Oakland Coliseum (1998)

                                                                    Jimi Hendrix
 The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live At The Oakland Coliseum is a raw, two-track monophonic audience recording of the Experience at the height of their creative powers.

Spread over two discs, The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Live In Oakland presents the group’s April 27, 1969 concert at the Oakland Coliseum. The Experience’s spirited Oakland performance was capped off with an eighteen minute, extended jam of “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”. Joining the group onstage for this final number was Jefferson Airplane bassist [and Electric Ladyland contributor] Jack Casady.

The concert was recorded by Ken Koga using a single microphone onto a portable Sony reel to reel deck. The concert was not professionally recorded, so Ken’s amatuer tapes represent the only known documentation of this inspired performance. The monophonic sound is unobtrusive and clear, but far from industry [as well as Jimi’s own] standards.

Fans of the Experience will recognize the set list, as songs such as “Fire”, “Purple Haze”, and “Spanish Castle Magic” were staples of the 1969 US tour repertoire, but there are many intriguing elements marbled throughout the eighty-five minute performance. Highlights include Jimi’s spontaneous reworking of “Hey Joe”, complete with passages about the `soldiers in Vietnam’. Jimi’s two blues workouts, “Red House” and “Hear My Train A Comin'” are particularly strong, as is a raucous, extended rendition of “Foxey Lady”. The evening came to a close with a rousing finale, as Casady climbed onstage to join the group for “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”.

Little Bobby - Showbiz (2014) reposted

                                                                       Little Bobby
 Nobody ever said that playing the blues was easy.
However, it’s the goal of blues musicians to make it appear that way, hiding countless hours of hard work behind seemingly-effortless performances. Not everyone can pull it off and be well-known in
Out of eight total tracks, the only cover is “I’d Rather Go Blind” by Etta James. The others are a mixture of blues, rock and soul. Sometimes the instrumentation doesn’t quite mesh, and Little Bobby’s vocals are rather raw and often buried in the mix.  What makes him and his band tick? They give their all, musically and lyrically, but their unfocused style could benefit from fine-tuning.
2005 was his debut CD, Before the Storm, followed by 2007’s Down, Dirty and Mean, 2008’s I’ve Got a Woman, and a live DVD in 2009 called A Night at the Empire. He’s performed at concerts throughout the U.S. and Europe, including the RAWA Blues Festival in Katiwice, Poland and the Chicago Blues Festival. The Chicago Sun-Times rated Little Bobby and Nora Jean Bruso the number-one band to see. The site reads: “In 2011 the two put together the CD ‘Good Blues’, [which] Little Bobby not only played on but wrote and produced. The album not only appeared on the blues charts but helped push Nora Jean to her 7th BMA nomination for ‘Best Traditional Female Blues Performer.”
Little Bobby’s first instrument was the drums. He got his first set from his aunt and uncle. His passion soon changed and he was turned on by the sound of the guitar. His first influences were the blues style of Jimmy Page and [Jimi] Hendrix. He met another Indian brother, who one day told Bobby, “You have a blues voice.”  Already being self-taught, the improvising style of the blues seemed like a natural fit. After getting a cheap recorder he laid down his first blues cut “Hey There Storm” and got his first radio spin on “The Riverside Blues Show.” From there Little Bobby was hooked on the blues.
In the liner notes to the album, Little Bobby says, “…I hope there will be a song on this CD that will help you through tough times or inspires you in your life.” Bobby, who played most of the instruments himself, also thanks saxophonist Maury Finney, drummer Michael “Taco” Valasquez, and second sax player Jimmy Wallace.
In “Showbiz,” at least as it relates to the blues, many are called but few are chosen. Houle has what it takes to make it big! Let’s hope he keeps on truckin’.

 Hi guys, I'm fine! I lost my job during the pandemic and now I'm in another one that is very tiring and also leaves me with less free time. I was also a little discouraged with other episodes that happened to me, but I believe the discouragement will soon pass. I am very grateful for everyone's concern. A big hug for everyone!!

Little Bobby - God Made Me Blue (2022)

                                                                     Little Bobby
 Little Bobby's music interest is a family affair. From his father to his Grandfather "Minnesota Music Hall Of Fame" to all his cousins that all play something. Its no surprise that Little Bobby is one himself.

Little Bobby's first instrument was the drums. He got his first set from his aunt and uncle. His passion soon changed and he was turned on by the sound of the guitar. His first influences were the blues style of Jimmy Page and Jimmy Hendrix. Of course there is going to be diversity in this story. Little Bobby was some what of a wild child partying drugs and the life. Little Bobby ended up serving time in prison on two different occasions. That's were the story of the blues begins.

While doing time, Bobby met another Indian brother, who one day told Bobby, "You have a blues voice". Already being self taught the improvising style of the blues seemed like a natural fit. Upon his release from prison Little Bobby started a band called The Storm. After getting a cheap recorder he laid down his first blues cut "Hey There Storm" and got his first radio spin on "the Riverside Blues Show" From there Little Bobby was hooked on the blues.

 English blue-eyed '60s soul meets trippy delta blues on the fourth album from the devastating Swedish outfit. Emil's scintillating guitar work evokes Albert King or Roy Buchanan, the rhythm section is instinctive and magnificent, and to top things off, the organ affects the celestial notes of Brian Auger.

Delaney & Bonnie with The Allmans Brothers & King Curtis - The Classic Studio Session 1971 the Classic Broadcast (2022)

                                                                     Delaney & Bonnie
 An outstanding 1971 studio concert broadcast, featuring Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, hot off the road with Eric Clapton and George Harrison, live at A&R Recording Studios in New York City - this time with friends Duane & Gregg Allman and King Curtis. The show begins acoustically (listen to D&B & Duane on Come on in My Kitchen ) then gets rowdy and electric for the second half. There s a lot of chatter too which is endlessly fascinating and while the electric set has some minor sonic issues, the historic significance of this recording is rich the 18 minute Only You Know And I Know, featuring smokin leads by King Curtis & Gregg Allman is a pure joy to behold. Speaking of historic significance, it should be remembered that both Clapton & Harrison escaped the restrictions of their respective bands to hit the road with the Bramletts, and Clapton raided D&B s Friends to form Derek & The Dominos (while the Stones snagged Bobby Keys and Jim Price who debuted on D&B s Accept No Substitute). Delaney Bramlett, who passed away in 2008 at 69, also produced and co-wrote one of Clapton s best solo albums, 1970 s Eric Clapton.

Clay McClinton - Age Like Wine (2022)

                                                                     Clay McClinton
 Clay McClinton’s music is woven together with rawhide and hemp, barbwire and willow reed. He blends country, blues and Tex-Mex to create his own unique sound. With five CDs under his belt, and 15 years of touring, Clay has honed a songwriting style that succeeds in being both deeply personal yet universal.

Few artists have pursued their careers with the clarity and conscious exploration that mark Clay’s self-designed path. He grew up in Fort Worth, TX and began learning guitar and harmonica from his father. At 16, he began to pursue music as a career more seriously and as soon as he graduated he moved to Austin. That would be the first of a series of conscious steps towards his self-development as a musician and songwriter. While in Austin, he absorbed the creative atmosphere and began writing. Clay was never interested in having a cover band. From the beginning he wanted to develop his repertoire of originals before taking to the stage full time.

His next move was a skip across the pond for a trek around Europe. He and 2 musician friends spent four months playing music on the streets and in hostels.

When he returned to the states, Clay decided on a move to Flagstaff, AZ. He began playing in two distinctively different bands where all the players performed predominately their own music. The Blues Project drew on Texas stomp and southern blues for their sound, while Second Harvest was an acoustic blues/bluegrass/folk band. Clay immersed himself in playing live, performing five or six nights a week. After a couple of years in Flagstaff, Clay added The Clay McClinton Band to the mix, in which he and his Telecaster took center stage.

Clay’s relocation to Nashville in 2003 was another conscious move. This time it was to hone his writing and production skills in a town known for the songwriting community and top of the line studios. This is where he created his first and second CDs, formed a tight four-piece band and began touring from coast to coast. They lived on the road for the better part of four years.

In 2008, Clay decided to come full circle and return to Austin. He continues to write, record and perform with no end in sight.

It was during these sessions with Mr. Ulmer that he adopted the name “Blues Kid”. The great blues legend was a mentor to the young blues artist. They encouraged him and helped to form him into the artist that we all know today. His sound and passion are what distinguish him from other artists. His eclectic musical taste also plays a part in the quality sound that he gives into his own songs and music. His musical style is influenced by great blues men & women. Ra’Shad is an artist who remains humble and kind while keeping the blues tradition alive.

Poor Man's Change - Poor Man's Change (2021)

                                                                  Poor Man's Change
 Those who’ve known Orange County as a bastion for wild, beer-soaked parties, biker bars and roughneck swagger need an introduction to OC-based band Poor Man’s Change. Beyond the classic sounds forged by working man’s rock-n-roll, this band born in a land of big city bustle, sunshine and sandy beaches brings offers raw and remarkable take on what it means to be a Southern Rock/Country band in 2017. Building on their resume of sold out local shows and national tours for the past three years, the four piece led Robert “Red” Page have become one of the most active bands in OC’s music scene, releasing three albums beginning with their debut Firewater in 2014, Southwestern in 2015 (released on Hourglass Records) and their latest effort Wild Kingdom released independently in November of 2016. Influenced by the outsider country ethos of artists like Sturgill Simpson, the band’s sound stays true to the eclectic, concrete cowboys who produce it, sporting gritty soulful vocals, driving bass, guitar licks that compel the hips and drum beats that draw music fans of all walks of life onto the dance floor. The release of Wild Kingdom sees the bands taking enjoying their status as an independent band by incorporating elements outside of the typical country or Southern rock sound. Where the debut five-song record felt more like an appetizer, Wild Kingdom fleshes out their sun burned mesh of outlaw rock and backyard party anthems seamlessly. The album’s lead single “Good Life” dabbles in hip-hop country, melding elements ranging from electronic beats to lap steel guitar in a way that just feels natural. As their name began to take off in 2015 they built their local following to a point where the ability to sell out venues like the Wayfarer in Costa Mesa, Slidebar Rock N Roll Kitchen in Fullerton or the House of Blues in Anaheim became standard practice. The four-piece, hailing from the city of Orange is comprised of Page and bassist Andrew “Birdshot” Ballenger, guitarist Drew “The Chief" Michaels and drummer Cory “Soul Train” Anderson. In the last year, the band branched out of their local scene to visit South By Southwest and tour multiple parts of Texas as well as Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico. Following another successful run at SXSW this year, the band are ready to roll out to country and and rock festivals all across the US.

After Tea - Joint House Blues - 1970 (2012)

                                                                      After Tea
 This was the third outing from these Dutch soulful r’n’b ambassadors, and dates from 1970. It’s fair to say too that the bulk of what’s on offer here is mainly rooted in a much harder blues-based rock and full-on progressive style sound than any of their previous efforts. The title cut, while a little on the plodding side for my tastes, still does a pretty decent r’n’b boogie chug, coming over at times sort of like, well the mighty Cuby+Blizzards, or a more coasting Q65 readily come to mind but only as mere reference points, while the likes of ‘You’ve Got To Move Me’ will perhaps grip you the most, even after just one or two listens, due to its tough use of Hammond organ and wild, wailing wah-wah guitar.

For sheer wilful audaciousness, and also the set’s heaviest and indeed downright scariest moments, however, you need to check out the lengthy ‘Trial’ / ‘Punishment’ / ‘The End’ suite which will undoubtedly test the patience and endurance of, at least most casual listeners.
Pursue to the end if you can though, as the reward comes in the shape of some extraordinary guitar and drum action, respectively. This newly expanded edition includes a bunch of the gr oup’s single releases too, spanning from the late 60sand on into the early 70s, of which a different, grittier produced version (or perhaps just an edit) of the title track appears. One of the highlights for me in this section has to be the driving ‘Sunshine Eyes’ which, along with the
afore-mentioned ‘…Move Me’, could almost be the work of a different band altogether, although definitely not the Tee-Set, I hasten to add, even though both groups would shared some members now and then.

Seth Walker Band - Meet Me In The Middle (2000)

                                                                 Seth Walker Band
 Seth Walker (born 1972) is an American electric blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Walker's musical genres include Americana, blues and jazz. 

Gotta Get Back was released on September 2, 2016, and debuted at number 6 in the US on the Billboard Top Blues Album. His 2009 album, Leap of Faith, also charted on the Billboard Top Blues Album chart, peaking at number 2. 

Delbert McClinton remarked "the first time I heard Seth Walker at a small club in Nashville I was impressed like I haven't been impressed in 30 years, with performance, presence, and great songs." 

Walker was born and grew up in Altamahaw Ossippee, North Carolina, United States, with classically trained musical parents. He learned to play the cello at the age of three, and gravitated towards the blues in his teenage years,  finding inspiration in the work of B.B. King, Snooks Eaglin, Ray Charles and T-Bone Walker. Walker attended East Carolina University where he studied art. His first public performance occurred in Greenville, North Carolina.

In his early twenties Walker moved to Austin, Texas, and began to develop his skills as a singer, songwriter and guitarist. His first album, When It Pours It Rains was released in 1998. Meet Me in the Middle (2000) was similarly credited to the Seth Walker Band. His 2002 album release was entitled Restless. On the Outside (2005) followed with a credit to Seth Walker and the Differentials. Walker’s self-titled release, Seth Walker, appeared in 2006 and  received critical acclaim from periodicals including No Depression, Blues Revue and Maverick UK. 

It was after that release that Walker met the Grammy Award-winning Gary Nicholson, with whom he developed a songwriting partnership. This alliance led to his most successful release to date, Leap of Faith (2009), which was produced by Nicholson. Walker stated "this album was made during a time in my life when I was caught up in some shadows. The idea of a leap of faith actually does reflect where I was at personally and making this record was the light for me." The album contained tracks written by Walker alone, Walker and Nicholson, plus work by other songwriters including Nick Lowe and Percy Mayfield. 

Walker performed at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in September 2011, and has toured supporting both Raul Malo and The Wood Brothers. The song "Back in Your Arms Again", jointly penned by Malo, Nicholson, and Walker, was recorded for The Mavericks' 2013 album, In Time, and released by them as a single. 

Walker lived for fifteen years in Austin, before he relocated again in 2009 to Nashville, Tennessee, where he recorded Time Can Change (2012). After touring, Walker moved to New Orleans to record his 2014 album Sky Still Blue which was produced by Oliver Wood of The Wood Brothers. His album released September 2016 entitled Gotta Get Back was produced by Jano Rix of The Wood Brothers. Of Gotta Get Back AllMusic noted that "Walker explains in the liner notes that he looked back to his early childhood for what got him excited about music in the first place for the album, and that family played an important part". 

His 2019 recording, Are You Open?, was chosen as a 'Favorite Blues Album' by AllMusic.

The Lenny Paul Band - Ready Already (2018)

                                                            The Lenny Paul Band
 Lenny Paul got his start at an early age, having grown up in a musical family. His mother would sing opera tunes around the house while his father and brother played the accordion. Family gatherings would often include singing while his uncles played guitar and clarinet. After spending some time with the accordion and saxophone, Lenny got his hands on an electric bass when he was 12. Maintaining a diet of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Motown, R&B, and various other genres, Lenny continued learning his primary instrument, and began working in various bands playing all types of music. However once he heard “the Blues” he knew he had found his place.

Performing more often than not as a sideman in bands, Lenny ventured into the guitar world 10 years ago so that could become the frontman that he is inside. From there he developed The Lenny Paul Band, a project he maintains currently in Northeast Ohio.

Throughout the years, Lenny has been fortunate enough to call many places his home: Ohio, Philadelphia, and Houston. All three places have lead to him connecting to super talented blues musicians, such as:  Jonn Del Toro Richardson, Sean Carney, Shaun Booker, Sonny Boy Terry, Diunna Greenleaf, Bob Margolin, RJ Misho, Anson Funderburgh, Rich Del Grosso, and many more.
(His time with Sonny Boy Terry included placing in the semi-finals at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, in 2010.)

When living in Philadephlia, Lenny joined his first Zydeco band, Zydeco-A-Go-Go, in which he played for 4 years. Moving to Houston, he continued to play blues and Zydeco, including with Raa Raa Carter & the Zydeco All-Stars.

Lenny recorded extensively as a sideman for various blues and R&B albums, and a has Zydeco record with Zydeco-A-Go-Go. His most recently released frontman work features The Lenny Paul Band with the CD, “Ready Already”. This record consists of nine original songs, written by Lenny. Other CDs include "Brotherhood", with John Markovic and "Meet You In Philly" featuring Sonny Boy Terry from Houston, Texas.

Lenny continues to tour extensively both in the U.S., Central America and Europe. The countries in which he has toured include: Canada, Costa Rica, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria and most recently a 30-day tour of Poland, Czech Republic, Austria and Slovakia.
