J.P. Soars & The Red Hots - Live In The Netherlands

Blues guitar slinger, singer and songwriter JP Soars and his Red Hots band documented their first European tour with the sizzling new CD “Live from the Netherland.” It’s a rich collection of varied originals peppered with choice covers such as Soars’ awesomely nasty rendition of Johnny Guitar Watson’s “Gangster of Love.”

Matty T.Wall - Blue Skies (2016)

Hailing from Perth, Australia, Matty T. Wall proves his band is indeed a musical force to be reckoned with. With blues and rock at the forefront of his ten track debut album, Blue Skies, Wall interestingly gravitates towards jazz and grunge as well, masterfully concocting his own creative and unique blend of sound. Backed by drummer Jasper Miller and bassist Stephen Walker, both also from Perth, Wall could not ask for a better rhythm section suited for his music. They really make his songs shine.

Wall revs the listener up with hot Texas style electric-blues in the album opener “Burnin’ Up Burnin’ Down”. An energetic cover of Keb Mo’s “Am I Wrong” sweetly follows. Wall delivers the goods on Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Chile”. This nearly twelve minute long jam is a soulful and psychedelic treat. The guitar solo is simply amazing. The track “Scorcher” certainly lives up to its name. Here, Wall goes full-on rockabilly, turning his dial to eleven, doling out fast and furious guitar licks. Miller’s performance on drums is simply outstanding. The melodic title track “Blue Skies” is a wonderful listen too.

The 24th Street Wailers - Wicked (2014)

The 24th Wailers Straight: One fabulous drummer with the great lead vocals. The killer rhythm section, that greasy saxophone, that tasty guitar…

Century upgrade of jumpin’ jivin’ juke joint blues. This time around, the lively Canadians take their music to the great state of Texas for recording purposes. Because Texas understands hot. And it understands fun.

Big Walter Horton - Big Walter Horton With Carey Bell (1973)

The teacher/pupil angle might be a bit unwieldy here - Bell was already a formidable harpist in his own right by 1972, when Horton made this album - but there's no denying that a stylistic bond existed between the two. A highly showcase for the often recalcitrant harp master, and only his second domestic set as a leader.

Matt's musical influences at that time were the Rolling Stones which he listened to over and over. This peaked an interest in the blues and R&B/soul.

Matt Guitar Murphy - Way Down South (1990)

The dazzling guitarist has recorded very sparingly as a leader over the course of his long career, preferring the relative anonymity of sideman duties behind Memphis Slim, James Cotton, and the Blues Brothers. But he acquits himself most competently here, mixing blues, funk, R&B, and a little jazz into his sparkling fretwork. His brother Floyd Murphy, a Memphis blues guitar legend himself, is on hand for a family reunion.

Joe Rusi - A Tout le Monde From (2017)

Digging the horns, awesome piano chops, and of course the guitar licks. Really embodies the gentle and relaxed atmosphere of The Big Easy. Well done guys...well done.

Duane Allman - An Anthology Vol. 2 (1974)

The session work with other players here isn't quite as good as the material on the first anthology, but An Anthology, Vol. 2 does feature a live cut by Delaney & Bonnie, plus a pair of what were then previously unissued Allman Brothers Band live tracks (among them "Midnight Rider" from the Fillmore East in June 1971). There's another good Duane Allman solo number and a good Hour Glass track ("Been Gone Too Long"), more session work with Aretha Franklin and King Curtis, Ronnie Hawkins ("Matchbox"), Wilson Pickett ("Born to Be Wild"), Johnny Jenkins, Boz Scaggs, Sam Samudio, and Otis Rush. The annotation here isn't as thorough as it was on the first volume, but anyone who owns the first double-CD set will almost certainly have to own this one as well, and for a mid-priced set there's a lot of very good music.

Cedric Lamar - Kingdoms and Tall Grass (2015)

For true lover’s of music, the power of the whole thing hits us all at different times in our lives. For singer/songwriter Cedric Lamar it was while touring around the country as an actor that he discovered his deep passion an unknown talent for songwriting, and decided to plant his roots down in NYC and see how far this new path could take him. As a self-taught singer and guitarist, he would often sit in his room trying to capture the sound that was in his head. Although reminiscent of many different styles, the songs don’t seem to fit into the box of any one genre.
