So it has been a while since a new folk artist caught my attention, but that ended last week. I was reviewing the Roots Music Report and the album at No. 21 Tilt--Whirl by Drew Nelson caught my attention. So I went to MOG to check it out, they didn't have Tilt-A-Whirl, but they did have…

So here are some of my favorites blues albums of 2010! Most of these albums were released in 2010 but not all of them!



Buddy Guy - Living Proof - the first song says it all he's 74 years young and getting better with age!!



Walter Trout -… Continue

Kudos to Red Beet Records for producing two of my favorite albums of 2010. First there was Peter Cooper's The Lloyd Green Album and released almost simultaneously Eric Brace and Peter Cooper's album Master… Continue

So a while back I wrote about Steel Wheel's bicycle tour in support of their self titled debut album. Recently, it came to my attention that their fellow label mate on Shut Eye Records Emma Hill has a new tour planned taking advantage of a one-fee, unlimited Jet Blue… Continue

So I went to Rhapsody to check them out. Rhapsody didn't have have the new album but did have… Continue

So Wednesday when I was looking for some new blues and downloaded the Kilborn Alley Blues Band I also downloaded another album on the same label Blue Bella Records, Privileged by Nick Moss. Well I've listened to this album many times over the last three days and each time I listen to it I like it more and more and it's quickly catching up the Kilborn Alley as a new favorite. Before listening to… Continue

So tonight, I was thinking about how to write today's post about a new group (to me) The Kilborn Alley Blues Band and the album that I listened to first this Blues Wednesday Better Off Now and I thought, what do I like in a blues band. Well, you need a good strong guitar see Stevie Ray, Corey… Continue

Ok, so a while back I discovered that I liked Jam Bands! I had always shied away from that music because I never really liked Phish (actually didn't listen a lot - they started in 1983 and they mostly played during my lost years of music) and wasn't that big on the Dead.

I tend to like the blues based bands like Gov't Mule, Hill Country Revue and the North Mississippi All Stars.… Continue

Ok so, Eric Bibb is another of those artists who music I don't have in my library simply because, say it with me now! there's too much music - too little time! Generally. I don't listen to a lot of acoustic blues no Keb' Mo' or Reverend Gary Davis in my library, there is however, Mississippi John Hurt, Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry and one of my favorite Bill Morrissey album's is Songs of… Continue
