Korner Alexis: R&B from the Marquee 1962 [CD]

Bonamassa Joe: Radio City Music Hall 2015 [CD + Blu-ray]

50 år i bluesens tjänst, och inget tecken av avmattning här inte! Hans nutida band hyser måhända inte Peter Green eller Eric Clapton, men Rocky Athas, Greg Rzab och Jay Davenport är inte å leka me' de heller. En makalös platta!

Landreth Sonny: Bound by the blues 2015 [Digipack / CD]

Finska bluesgiganterna o Wentus Blues band, med Robban Hagnas i front, ger oss en liveplatta utäver det vanliga. Bandet är förstärkt med en av de vassaste saxmännen vi sett någonsin - Dick Heckstall-Smith.<br/><br/>Digipack.

On "Tears Of The World," guitarist Knut Reiersrud and his band find themselves in the company of the 72-year old vocalist Mighty Sam McClain, originally from Louisiana. Together, they have dedicated themselves to the music of the deep south and have given impressive proof that, when it comes to playing hard-driven R&B, soul or blues, it's not where you come from that's important.In the context of the regular flow of new releases on the ACT label, "Tears Of The World" is patently a stylistic outlier; and yet this detour is not all that surprising, given label founder Siggi Loch's passion for the blues. In Loch's autobiography he describes the experience of what he remembers as the "wildest night" of his life - until then, at least. It was in 1962, and he was at one of the first American Folk Blues Fest.
