My new favorite album (this week).

Kenny Wayne Shepherd is at the top of his game with his new album.

Great tunes…silky-smooth production…razor-sharp guitar.

(Definitely worth a listen.)

A tribute album here from ​Kaliopi & The Blues Messengers​.

Homage to the pioneering Blueswomen, Memphis Minnie.

Nice job!

Shows off the richness of material that came from the true Blues trailblazers.

As good now as ever.

Ghost Hounds​ has a new deluxe version of their ‘First Last Time’ album.

A happening trend in the album-verse.

3 additional acoustic tracks make this one deluxe.

The album’s terrific and the new cuts are great.

​Foghat​...

...Wow.

Just the name brings back memories of getting my eardrums busted up at The Whiskey.

I love that this new album presses all the right Blues-Rock buttons.

It’s a worthy addition to this legendary band’s catalog.

(Me likey.)

Some backstage secret decoder ring info from ​Kenny Wayne Shepherd​.

About one of the singles from his upcoming album ('Dirt On My Diamonds, Vol. 1').

I’d love it if more artists did this.

It’s great to hear these stories in their own words.

More please.

​Mark Joseph’s​ new album is fabulous from the get-go.

A great mix of originals and covers.

Bluesy as hell.

Best backing vocals I’ve heard this year too.

Samantha Fish​ & ​Jesse Dayton​ recorded this video at The Texas Music Cafe.

It’s one of Sam’s originals.

Always a joy to see these two perform together.

They’re very musically simpatico.

(Plus, they color-coordinate so well too.)

TD Lind’s been flying under the radar for a bit…now he’s back as ​TD Lind & The Aviators​.

His latest is a double set recorded live at The Grape in Ventura, CA.

Great sonics. You’d think you had a ringside table.

Here’s some young-gun Blues Rock from the ​Chase Walker Band​.

Chase is only 25 but he’s already built a resume that stretches back 10 years.

There’s a whisper/tease of a new album too.

Robin Trower​ got together with ​Sari Shorr​ to make a blazing duet of an album.

If you’re a fan of either you’ll enjoy this record.

This musical combination though … well, it soars.

Eric B. Turner’s​ been entertaining folks for a while now.

But this album is a coming out party of sorts.

The man has the vocal and emotional range to sing anything.

And this album is people’s exhibit #1 .

You take a musical risk when you tackle Bill Wither’s “Ain’t No Sunshine.”

But when you’ve got ​Matt Andersen’s​ (matt_andersen) vocal firepower, the odds are in your favor.

Matt pours everything into this live performance.

And I mean everything!

Robert Finley’s​ (therobertfinley) partnership with Dan Auerbach & Easy Eye Sound has been very fruitful.

Their latest collaboration is another hit I think.

The Black Moods​ (TheBlackMoods) dropped a great cover of The Door’s “Roadhouse Blues.”

The tune always rocks but they added some spiritual connectivity from Robby Krieger.

And a touch of rock-spice from Diamante to double up.

The classics always travel well.

Few bands can crank out hit-after-hit like ​Robert Jon & The Wreck​ (Rjandthewreck).

These guys are sonic sorcerers.

This new tune asks: “How long can we hold onto this musical life?”

I’m hoping for a good long time.

(Damn these fellas are good.)

Everything from Harp to Hammond.

It's a Studio record with a great live feel.

Terrific guest vocals keep everything fresh too.

Here’s the 3rd single from ​Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s​) upcoming album.

It’s some easy-listening from the Blues-Rocker.

The album looks like a genre-blender - classic Kenny rockers and heartfelt originals.

I gotta space all saved up for it.

My new favorite album (this week)

It's the new one from Blues Traveler.

The band tackles some classic R&B and Soul tunes.

With enough guest stars to fill a tour bus.

Smooth and tasty.

More proof of the Blues global reach.

I present to you, Cambodian Bluesman (by way of Switzerland) ​... Bonnie B.​

He wields a mean harmonica and has some first-rate albums.

This new one has a light touch but a deep feel.

​Bobby Rush​ is coming at you in this video with a song that’s sooo “Bobby Rush,” only Bobby Rush could do it.

The man works in double entendre like a renaissance master worked in oils or clay.

My new favorite album (this week).

The original ‘Blues Deluxe’ taught ​Joe Bonamassa​ to, “always trust your gut and bet on yourself.”

That bet paid off big-time.

Vol. 2 is insanely satisfying.

Passionate and intense, that’s ​Danny Bryant’s new album.

Husky vocals and wonderfully understated guitar work.

The whole album smolders with his emotion.

It’s a Blues-Rock confession.

It feels … courageous.

Let’s do some genre-bending with ​Wreckless Strangers.

A six-song EP that covers a lot of musical territory.

Each tune could be a radio single.

(remember those?)

Polished and easy on the ears.

Just in case it wasn’t obvious, the Lovell sisters (AKA ​Larkin Poe​) are once again demonstrating that they are two superb musicians.

This is an acoustic take on one of their album hits.

Jason’s harmonica work is wickedly good (gold-standard stuff).
