Kim Simmonds And Savoy Brown - Goin' To The Delta (2014)

                                                 Kim Simmonds And Savoy Brown
No matter the title of this Ruf Records outing, Kim Simmonds, founder, guitarist, and eternal frontman for Savoy Brown, is going straight for its Chicago mojo to deliver this set of scorching electric blues. Aided and abetted by his now longstanding road band -- comprising bassist Pat DeSalvo and drummer Garnet Grimm -- Simmonds' Savoy Brown comes full circle from its 1965 roots as a British band won over to the loud, gritty sounds coming across the ocean from Chess Records. Opener "Laura Lee," is in the classic Windy City tradition, as inspired by Hound Dog Taylor's house rockin' style as they are Muddy Waters', while "Just a Dream" recalls the moody, slow burning attack of Son Seals. The instrumental boogie "Cobra" is like Slim Harpo-cum-ZZ Top in its hipshaking groove. The guitar vamp on "Nothin Like the Blues" recalls but isn't beholden to -- Ted Nugent's on "Stranglehold," but the Nuge "borrowed" part of the same riff from Bo Diddley. "Backstreet Woman" owes more than a little to Buddy Guy with its funky eight notes and breakbeats by Grimm in the turnarounds. The title track is pure Willie Dixon rave-up, while "I Miss Your Love" showcases Simmonds playing some mean slide. The roiling stinging guitar attack on closer "Goin' Back" recalls Jimmy "Fast Fingers" Dawkins riding atop a positively infectious bassline by DeSalvo. Simmonds is in fine singing voice, and as aggressive as this set is, he economizes his solos exceptionally, with maximum flash and minimum time. The only problem here is the same-old, same-old -- Simmonds' lyrics are positively embarrassing. But then, his and Savoy Brown's fans don't pay to hear songwriting. Goin to the Delta is a solid, straight-up set preferable even to the acclaimed Voodoo Moon.

Nina Attal - Yellow 6-17 (2011)

                                                                    Nina Attal
As a teenager, while most people of her age only listen to pop from reality shows, Nina Attal feeds on Blues, Soul and Funk milk; her idols are first the founding fathers BB King, Albert Collins, Albert King, Etta James, but soon she also discovers Sharon Jones, Prince, Larry Graham and Lenny Kravitz to name a few. Nina wrote her first song at the age of 8, played the guitar since she was 12 and performed on stage at 14. She decides to make music her profession at 17 and in just two years, this young artist of 19 years, has seduced his audience by browsing the French and international scenes. Songwriter, singer and musician, she presents today Yellow 6/17, her first album. After a very noticed EP, Urgency, released in May 2010 and a hundred concerts including the prestigious International Jazz Festival of Montreal, Jazz in St Germain, Nina Attal and his alter ego Philippe Devin, 21, also a guitarist, wrote and composed this first four-handed album. Yellow 6/17 mixes all the influences of American black music: Soul, Funk, Rhythm'n'Blues, all tinged with Pop melody. An ambitious alchemy that gives his music a unique style. With an incredible talent for the Live, like the artists she worships, Nina Attal likes to do the show. Singer but also guitarist, Nina Attal is above all a demanding musician and overflowing with an energy that raises her to the level of the greatest artists.

Saverio Maccne - Look Twice (2018)

Among melodies of seventies songs and typical patterns of Blues, the growing attraction for that instrument called guitar was an inevitable fact for a boy named Saverio Maccne, who at that time was only 10 years old. Born in the City of Buenos Aires in the month of February of 1980, he began his musical career at a very young age with no more than 13 years old and was already giving his first public concert in the primary school where he had studied. That same year I also play for the first time in a pub with other musician friends of the same age. In the following 2 years I develop as a self-taught person, different techniques of inprovisation that I execute before the amazement of many, given by their young age, in different bars of Buenos Aires. At age 16 he entered the Juan Pedro Esnaola Classic Music Conservatory, where he learned the rich musical language and the compression of sounds. At age 19 and after spending 3 years in the conservatory, he decided to travel to the northern provinces of Argentina to learn about the different styles of National folklore and their respective customs. After almost 2 years he returned to Buenos Aires where he settled in the Porteño neighborhood of San Telmo. Alli evolved in a remarkable way in the instrument both in improvization and in the harmonic plane. For 10 years I play varied musical genres such as Jazz, Blues, Rock, Bossa Nova, Reggae, Funk, Hard Rock, Soul, etc. Since 2010, he currently lives between Argentina and Europe, traveling mostly through the countries of the north of the old continent, where he shows his talent in local festivals and pubs performing songs from his albums and also covers of the great guitarists of the history of the Rock'n 'Roll & Blues.

Freddie King - Texas Cannonball (1972)

Freddie King’s second album for Shelter Records, Texas Cannonball, which followed his also Getting Ready (1971). Released in 1972, Texas Cannonball was one of the highlights of King’s career, which continued its progression towards a new style, introducing its explosive blues sound to wider audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. Leon Russell’s Shelter Records was without a doubt the perfect springboard for Freddie’s hard driving style of blues. This prolific collaboration definitely put Freddie into the mainstream of the white blues/rock explosion. The album includes brilliant covers of songs by Howlin’ Wolf, Lowell Fulson, Leon Russell, Isaac Hayes, Bill Withers and Elmore James. Among the backing musicians are many names who played with Eric Clapton in the 1970s (Clapton stated many times that Freddie King was among his chief influences). The personnel includes Leon Russell on piano, Carl Radle and Donald “Duck” Dunn (from Booker T & The MG´s) on bass, Jim Gordon, Chuck Blackwell and Al Jackson on drums, Don Preston on guitar, and John Gallie on organ.

David Gerald - N2U (2018)

                                                                       David Gerald

Gerald performed in many local blues, R&B, and rock bands cutting his guitar and vocal chops live and in person. Finding it hard to keep a band together, Gerald learned to play guitar, bass, keys, and drums. Using two antiquated cassette recorders he would overdub each part individually until the song was complete. "The end result sounded horrible, and the songs would not end up in the same key they started in. But it got my songs recorded," says Gerald. This was the beginning of his songwriting, most of which were pop and rock tunes during the 80's. Around the age of 24, he began experimenting with computers to write and compose music. As he began to explore the music of blues guitar heavyweights like Albert King, ZZ Hill, B.B. King, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, his sound evolved and expanded to where it is today.

Gerald is now playing nationally with his own band. Year round, he performs at clubs and festivals across the United States. Some notable appearances include: Riverdays Festival (formerly known as the International Freedom Festival) in Detroit, MI; Chrysler Arts, Beats and Eats in Royal Oak, MI; Springing The Blues Festival in Jacksonville, FL, among many others.Gerald is now playing nationally with his own band.

Gerald's long awaited new album, N2U, was released in April 2018. Videos from two of the album's ten tracks of Blues infused Rock N Soul had begun to leak out across the internet prior to the release, creating a groundswell of excitement in anticipation. "This album has been a long time coming," Gerald comments. "I put together these songs for myself, my friends and supporters. It's all about new thoughts, new experiences and deeply felt emotions. I hope everyone who listens can find something that touches them. Something they can relate to."
