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.

Mark Hummel Mark Hummel's James Cotton-inspired tone and his ear for penning a solid tune come to the fore on his second disc on the Tone-Cool imprint. With Junior Watson's all-over-the-map style of guitar aboard on the majority of tracks here, the guest shots include Charles Brown (a fine reading of Duke Ellington's "In a Sentimental Mood"), David Maxwell on two tracks, and duets with Brenda Boykin on "Tain't What You Say" and "Now or Never." To say this album is stylistically diverse would be stating it mildly. The musical glue that holds it all together is Hummel's awesome talent on the harmonica and a band that never ceases to surprise with each genre switch of the track. Be it jazz, soul, or straight-ahead blues, Hummel and company deliver the goods on this one.

Trouble No More Trouble No More is an established name on the Dutch blues stages. Since its founding in 1990, the band has been performing on stages with an energetic live show. From pubs and the well-known blues cafés to appealing festivals. Sometimes on large stages, sometimes with the drum kit next to the billiards, but always contagiously enthusiastic. Trouble No More brings swinging rhythm & blues, with Chicago, Texas and West Coast influences. Varied, but always recognizable. Solid as a rock, yet always open to the atmosphere of the moment. With versatile guitar work and raw voice, Onno Blok sets the tone for the band's unique style. Supported by the tight rhythm section of Arie Schilling (bass and vocals) and Paul van Berkel (drums and vocals) and with dynamic keyboard work by Ton Beukelman (Hammond), every Trouble No More performance is a musical party. If possible, the band is supplemented with Job Groot on tenor sax.

George Washingmachine My Mum had a Bessie Smith 45 disc in her collection of predominately classical records.
I remember putting this on and hearing Bessie sing the blues like no one else can with Eddie Lang doing something incredible on the guitar. This was very different to Segovia and John Williams. Mum also had some Fats Waller & Django Reinhardt records. These musical sounds were transformative.
The Beatles were a huge phenomenon during my childhood, but by the mid 70’s my ears were tuning in to Frank Zappa, The Grateful Dead and a bunch of Americana Blues recordings.
