Marcus Bonfanti -- Shake The Walls (Jigsaw)

With his 2010 album, What Good Am I To You, listed in Classic Rock’s top 50 albums of the year, the follow up could have been difficult. The opener, Alley Cat, dispels the fears immediately with its great riff and deep, velvet vocals. That voice is the constant despite some genre switches – Country Blues (Jezebel), classic…See More

Dave Arcari & The Hellsinki Hellraisers – Whisky In My Blood (Buzz Records).

 If you’ve heard of Dave Arcari before then you’ll think you know what you’re in for. However, not everything is as it would appear. Known for his raucous, abrasive style and loved for it on the festival scene, Arcari has mellowed slightly in parts of this album. The Arcari of old is to be found on Heat Is Rising, where it’s…See More

Albany Down -- Not Over Yet (AD Recordings)

Not Over Yet is the follow up to their 2011 debut South Of The City. The Blues are represented on the strong opener, Back Again, the contemporary Travelling Blues and the epic You Ain’t Coming Home. Straight out rockers such as Take The Town, You’d Better Run and The Working Man pepper the album. Throw in Middle Eastern themes…See More

Carrie Rodriguez -- Give Me All You Got (Ninth Street Opus)

Carrie Rodriguez – Give Me All You Got (Ninth Street Opus).Rodriguez’s sound is rooted in Americana (Country/Pop of Devil In Mind and Whiskey Runs Thicker Than Blood) and Jackson Browne and The Eagles influences abound (the Country ballads Sad Joy and Cut Me Now, the latter a triumph). She uses her fiddle to great effect…See More

Lisa Biales -- Singing In My Soul (Big Song Music)

 Lisa’s eighth album on Big Song showcases her diverse musical tastes. There’s Gospel with the triumphant eponymous title track. Country Blues are represented by Let The Mermaids Flirt With Me, which just falls short of David Johanssen’s version. You Got To Know How is a bar-room Blues of high order whereas I Only Have Eyes For…See More

Paul Rose -- Double Life (Mita Records)

 Rose has built his fan-base over the years but this, his 12th album, may well be the one to bring him widespread attention. A mix of classics like Honey Hush, If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don’t Want To Be Right) and Stormy Monday would seem commonplace. However, the treatment of these standards and Rose’s superb guitar playing…See More

Devon Allman -- Turquoise (Ruf Records).

 Being the son of a Rock legend doesn’t guarantee you success but Devon Allman has enough talent to make it on his own. Fresh from his collaboration with Cyril Neville and others in Royal Southern Brotherhood, Allman releases his debut solo album for Ruf Records. With a crossover between Country (When I Left Home and Don’t Set Me Free), Soul (Into The Darkness) and Rock (Homesick, Strategy and Tom Petty’s Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around)Allman delivers an album that you can use to rock out to or…See More
