All The Witches: Lightning At The Door [CD]

Rollicking, raw and teeming with palpable punk energy one minute, laid back and burning with the tranquil beauty of a southern sunset the next, Luther Dickinson's new solo album, Rock 'n Roll Blues, will be released March 18. Luther is best known as the lead guitarist and vocalist for boogie and blues-rock innovators North Mississippi Allstars and has recorded with an amazing array of musicians throughout his impressive career including Robert Plant, Levon Helm, Beck, Ry Cooder, Mavis Staples, Patty Griffin, John Hiatt, Lucero, Jon Spencer among others. Since he first made his recording debut at 14 playing guitar on The Replacement's Pleased To Meet Me he has become widely known both as a talented go-to musician and producer with five Grammy nominations to prove it.<br/> <br/>More in line with his South Memphis String Band records or his two Grammy-nominated solo albums than with the North Mississippi Allstars, Rock 'n Roll Blues as Luther puts it is "folk music with juke-joint drums and lots of harmonies." Essentially an autobiography set to music, the 10-track LP traces Luther's journey from excitable teen growing up in rural Mississippi to tour-van vet and showcases his acutely observant songwriting and superb guitar playing.

Thompson Richard: Ship to shore 2024 [Digipack / CD]

Legendariska Los Lobos är på något sätt det ultimata Los Angeles-bandet. Under snart femtio år tid har Los Lobos inte bara speglat LAs musikaliska eklektiska musikscen. De har i högsta grad bidragit till att skapa den. Med osviklig känsla, en aldrig sinande nyfíkenhet och gediget musikaliskt kunnande har de utforskat och integrerat rock 'n' roll och rhythm & blues, surf och soul, mariachi och norteña, punk och country i sitt sound. De har aldrig fastnat, aldrig stått stilla, alltid utvecklats och hela tiden haft ett alldeles eget uttryck.<br/> <br/>Los Lobos album "Native Sons" är en ömsint hyllning till hemstaden Los Angeles. Titelspåret är plattans enda nyskrivna låt, övriga låtar är favoritlåtar av LA-baserade artister som Buffalo Springfield, The Blasters, Beach Boys och Jackson Browne.

Hiatt själv placerar "The Eclipse Sessions" vid sidan om två av sina bästa album - 1987 år "Bring the Family" (med Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe och Jim Keltner) och "Crossing Muddy Waters" från 2000. "The three albums are very connected in my mind", säger Hiatt. "They all have a vibe to them that was unexpected. I didn't know where I was going when I started out on any of them. And each one wound up being a pleasant surprise."
