Walter Trout Blues-rock icon Walter Trout is riding a creatively formidable wave and heading into 2024 with an album raucous, wild and poignant in Broken. The album features guest appearances from powerhouse singer Beth Hart, Twisted Sister's Dee Snider and Harmonica virtuoso Will Wilde.
All of us are broken. But no one is beyond repair. It's a philosophy that Walter Trout has lived by during seven volatile decades at the heart of America's society and blues-rock scene. Even now, with the world more fractured than ever – by politics, economics, social media and culture wars – the fabled US bluesman's latest album, Broken, chronicles the bitter schisms of modern life but refuses to succumb to them.

Alex Lopez Respecting the rich tradition of the blues and always paying homage to the original blues architects, expand the genre to bring it to new audiences and deliver it with the passion, power and pizazz that keeps fans coming back for more...
Alex and his band The Xpress (ALX) release their blues/rock tour de force with the hard hitting album "Looking for a Change" The album debuted TOP TEN on the Billboard charts. With this album, Alex goes back to his rock roots with a stripped-down muscular approach that blends classic rock with the blues in a way only ALX can. It's an album reminiscent of Led Zep, Cream or Free in their prime but with the melodic memorable songs for which Alex is well known.

Freddie Nystrom Freddie is a prolific gentleman. The editor is sitting with his new album in hand: it can be heard on Spotify, but it is actually also available on physical CD. Which is quickly pressed on the player and "Bluesman" starts scrolling. A song with Spencer Davis vibes - and hey, we hear a woman's voice alongside Fredrik! Incka Ullén, once in the William band, helps out by singing in the choir here and there. And another innovation: Bosse Hansson, perhaps best known as the Hammond organist in Mr Bo & The Voodooers, sits confidently at the keys. Also, as always, Gunnar Kungur tall. Rolf Svensson bass and Ulf Jansson drums. Producer Tomas Gabrielsson.
Next track: Twelve fast, Fredrik and Bosse sunbathe (they often do) and Incka drives again. Then a slow blues, "Min turn". Some of the songs have been recorded before, this is one of them. A little “As the years go by” feeling. Beautiful Bossesolo and then the next track: "When the wind blows cold". Cheeky riff opening into a heavy number. Yes, the entire song has a riff at the bottom. No pattern, slightly different shape and twists.
"Kärlek på burk" started so merrily fast that the brain came up with the word 'calypso'! The next one doesn't: a three-string guitar solo ushers in, well, late '60s rock of the heavy English model. Bosse is in his element, his Hammond is literally growling. He IS a rocker: never forget that Jon Lord is a great hero to him. Also, total guitar wreckage.
"Tribute to AC" is Bosse's next composition, an instrumental dedicated to Albert Collins. It shakes a lot, someone said. “Help me through the day,” we acknowledge. Classic rhythm and sassy guitar. "Double Message" is a beautiful classic-cut minor blues. Then a quick sequence of twelve "Exit" with the Editor's favorite text: "Tired of sitting, sitting in traffic / On the way to the factory from the office." Neither Freddie nor the Editor worked on the “Cadillac assembly line” or picked cotton, but we both know the anxiety in the office. Organ and guitar alternate, shift after shift, inspired by the office.
Freddie's lyrics are, to say the least, concise and direct, his thoughts and observations align. He rehearses, hammers out the lyrics, he doesn't need to bother Dylan. His signature half-whispering, half-hoarse voice. The guitar performance is varied, in intensity and timbre. A skilled guitarist: I could write “cheeky guitar solo” in every song, but that would be annoying. But you know enough!
They saved the best for the end of the dish. Not in originality, but in pure feeling, the Editor's sometimes slightly dull ears think. "You are my light". A dynamically played declaration of love: beautiful guitar solo, beautiful Hammond solo, yes, even a beautiful bass solo from Gunnar Kungur. A kiosk cup. The chord sequence borrowed from Luther Allison's "Serious," Fredrik said. “I’m as serious as a heart attack.” Freddie too, no doubt. And he's on his way. Maybe the money is coming to the office. But also for a stage near you.

Luke LUKE, the band of singer/songwriter Lukas Schüßler, who has been a winner of the German Rock and Pop Prize since 2019 and this year received the Culture Prize for Music from the Saarbrücken regional association, shows with its new album that these honors are justified.
In the songwriting, accents from blues, rock and soul merge with each other and wrap the blues genre in a modern guise.
The song "Whenever I Fall Asleep", which takes the listener with a piano intro, shows where Schüßler's musical roots lie: a touch of Americana, successful guitar background and soul influence. The focus is on his clear, rough voice with an often soulful touch, such as in the song "Into Deep". The instrumental, grooving basis of the song is also strong here, into which he first melts a subtle, short guitar solo, before concluding the piece with a slightly longer solo, which gives the opportunity live to transition into a jam part .
Lukas Schüßler also shows the musical diversity in the dreamy "Memory Lane", with a folky touch, very soulful vocals and beautiful short interludes on the acoustic guitar.
With "Strange Boy In Town" LUKE has created an album that is just fun to listen to. With his songwriting he appeals to fans of the more quiet blues, soul and folk and gives himself the opportunity for longer improvisations with the arrangement of the pieces live. Anyone who can should enjoy the songs live. The album definitely helps with the waiting time, as it makes you want more.

Smokehouse Porter The king & Queen Of "TheGutbucket Blues" Smokehouse And Mamie Porter Smokehouse Porter was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the home of such greats as Slim Harpo, Lightening slim, Arthur Guitar kelly, Silas Hogan and many more. His first encounter with the blues that he can remember was at about 9 years old when he heard a friend of the family playing guitar and singing the blues. He was so impressed that he knew that the blues would always be apart of him. In the late seventies and early eighties Smokehouse hooked up with Baton Rouge legendary blues man, W.W. Woolfolk. Woolfolk in earlier years was the drummer for another Baton Rouge legend Lightening Slim. Playing with Woolfolk exposed Smokehouse to other icons such as Raful Neal, Silas Hogan, Henry Gray, Clarence Edwards, Mose "Whispering" Smith, Rocking Tabby Thomas and Arthur "Guitar" Kelly who later became like a surrogate father and mentor to him. Through his association with Arthur "Guitar" Kelly and Silas Hogan he learned what he refers to as the "Gutbucket Blues", and the "Gutbucket Blues" is blues that hits you deep down in the gut. It's blues with a feeling, blues that tell a story, it's a combination of Swamp and Mississippi Delta Blues. In the mid eighties Smokehouse was on the scene doing his own thang referring back to all the things that he had learned from his mentors. With his deep hoarse voice he redefined the term "Gutbucket Blues". Playing gigs in and around the Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama area he became known as the King of the Gutbucket Blues. In the late eighties Smokehouse joined forces with Ms. Mamie formerly known as Mamie Bennett also of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Like many other Jazz and Blues artist, Mamie began her singing career in a southern Baptist church at the tender age of 10. Mamie's father was a blues harmonica player who enjoyed listening to Howling Wolf and Muddy Waters. His interest in the blues greatly influenced her.

We moved from there to a small town southeast of Dallas called Crandall, where we would live for the remainder of my raising. I still live there to this day. I’ve always loved that town, and always will. Growing up, my Dad had his own construction company and worked out of town a lot. Being his only son, I was his helper and would travel with him every time it was possible for me to go. On the side, he was a hunting guide and a wildlife photographer, so we were on the road most weekends, summers and holidays as well.
All that time on the road would lead me to hear a lot of different music, Stevie Ray Vaughan, to Hank Williams Sr. To Otis Redding to Led Zeppelin… a bottomless cassette case of music that I wouldn’t have heard from my generations pop radio. I remember one day my Dad was about to put a tape in, he stopped and said, “hey son, you should really listen to this.” What came next would shape the next 24 years of my life. When he pressed play… the intro to Texas flood Instantly grabbed my soul. As a six-year-old kid I didn’t know what I was hearing but that was the first time Music made me feel something. I knew right then I wanted to do that, what ever “that” was… I wanted it too.
My parents bought me a VHS of Stevie Ray Vaughan live at Austin city limits. I would go on to wear that tape out. While other kids were watching cartoons and Disney movies, I watched that tape religiously. The day came that I would want a guitar so for my 11th birthday my parents bought me a red squire Stratocaster the same color of the guitar Stevie was playing on “pride and joy” in the video, it had to be that one.
I would play for hours in my bedroom, when I began to notice that my playing was getting better, I also noticed it made me feel better when I played my guitar. By the time I was 17 I knew I wanted to play for a living. Around that time I was getting into more red dirt country, and even joined a few bands playing lead. I never once thought about singing.. cause it scared me to death. But I joined up with a few older fellas and started a band called “Colton & the 45s” we got together just to jam some old blues and ended up starting my first band. We didn’t have a singer so they forced me to sing.
During this time I started to fall into drugs and drinking and everything that goes with it. I guess I had to feel the blues to play it. Eventually the drugs cause me to distance my self from everyone and the band broke up. I continued playing guitar and started writing songs but didn’t put anything out there. I got clean and started make my way around, I got married to my first wife and joined a band called “The Bigbys”. I played lead guitar for them for a good bit, but things just didn’t work out. After that with divorce on the table, I picked up my guitar and told my self I’m not gonna quit.. I’m gonna keep playing and singing till I make it, or till I can’t play no more. So I put my name out there as a solo artist and became a singer/songwriter, trying to mesh together a blend of all the music I love into something everyone can feel. I’m so lucky to have the family and friends I do to keep pushing me. I have a wife who literally thinks I’m the best singer and guitar player ever. And two beautiful daughters who give me so much to write about. And in the end, I want them to see that it’s ok to follow your dreams with your whole heart. So that’s where I am right now… following my dreams.

Erick Hovey The opener on the Blues Farm CD, “Ball and Chain,” has a slow, moody, funky backdrop with some terrific understated guitar work. “Know Who You Are” is more upbeat, almost blues/rock with Hovey’s ragged but right guitar, and features some tasty harmonica from Andy Blumenthal and keyboards from Tom Gary. “Soda Pop Girl” is a gentle swinger about a girl who drives our protagonist around town while he drinks, and “Patchouli” is highlighted by Hovey’s stinging guitar fills.Other highlights include the atmospheric “Runnin’ With A Full Moon,” the jazzy workout, “Fight That Monkey,” “Missing Part,” and the guitar-driven shuffle, “I’m Through.” Hovey’s a fine guitarist and his vocals are solid and suit the material well, and he gets excellent support from Blumenthal (harmonica), Gary (keys), Jeff Foreman (drums), Dan Lodden (bass), and Heather Kelly (vocals). This is a pretty solid set of Midwest blues that will please most blues fans.Graham Clarke / Blues Bytes / MS, USA

Billy Hector Band With over thirty five years of performing under his belt, Billy Hector is regarded as one of the best songwriters and performers on the scene, recognized by critics and fans as one of the "hottest guitarists you'll ever see". He has been called "a state treasure" and is recognized as a "Living Legend" by the Asbury Park Music Awards and recipient of their Top Guitarist Award as well as The Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Foundation's Lifetime Achievement Award. In this tradition of excellence and true to it's title, Traveler, Billy Hector's sixteenth independent release takes the listener for a welcome trip across a varied range of the opulent roots/rock landscape, driven by Hector's signature style of solid songwriting and guitar brilliance. "Polly Anne", the driving and straight ahead guitar-forward opener about a nomadic girl's search for order in her life warms you up for the title cut of this release. Hector fans will remember the original "Traveler" from Undertow, his ninth release in 2002. Though nicely paced, this version adds an eerie and more melancholy tone to an already somber song as Hector's vocals intersperse with reverb-filled and richly woven guitar lines. Next up, the twang in "Never Let You Down" engages you before diving into the rhythm surf guitar back-note of "Candy" and then Hector "speaks his mind" in "Last Train". Was that a little nod to T-Rex in there? You be the judge. Want some clean tasty slide work in the front seat with you? "Midnight Buddha" delivers it in spades before Hector wheels you into the Santo and Johnny-like guitar prettiness of "Wild Heart" featuring the sultry vocals of Suzan Lastovica. Then it's on to the sheer foot tapping hookiness of "Overloaded" before passing through "Midnight in Her Eyes" which starts out with a Clapton-like guitar structure before Hector brings it to a close with a mesmerizing and dreamy piece of guitar work. And finally, in the "Bonus Round" of the album, Hector brings you to a satisfying finish far from where you started with the wonderfully weighty and deliciously sexy backnote of "Play So Rough". Except at this point, you realize that you're NOT satisfied...Traveler may have finished but you're fully drawn in and you want more! All thirteen tracks on the CD were recorded by Troy Topinka at Monmouth Academy of Musical Arts and mixed by Suzan Lastovica at Bustahump Acres. All songs were written by Billy Hector and Suzan Lastovica. Stylish and hooky for sure but as always, well-crafted and purposeful. Three decades into it and stronger than ever, the collective experience and skillfulness of Billy Hector and Suzan Lastovica yet again deliver everything you need and nothing you don't.
