Given Hooker’s unpredictable timing and piss-poor track record recording with bands, this 1965 one-off session for the jazz label Impulse! would be a recipe for disaster. But with Panama Francis on drums, Milt Hinton on bass, and Barry Galbraith on second guitar, the result is some of the best John Lee Hooker material with a band that you’re likely to come across.

Blues rocking slide guitarist Eric Sardinas is a bona fide road dog. He’s been playing shows all over the world for decades. Perhaps because of that traveling he hasn’t released a record since 2014’s raucous Boomerang. Midnight Junction, released by earMUsic, is a wooly collection of originals and a lone cover.

Tall Tale Tunes is the latest instalment in an ongoing series of guitar instrumental masterpieces from Richard Bennett. This project like its predecessors, is a study in the art of touch, tone, taste and timing. The compositions are exquisitely crafted scores with melodies that carry the listener on dreamy flights of fantasy, up and don the fretboards of various guitars that can only be made to sound the way they do in the hands of Richard Bennett.

The story of the Allman Brothers Band is one of triumph, tragedy, redemption, dissolution, and more redemption. During the early ’70s, they were arguably the most influential rock group in America, thanks in no small part to At Fillmore East (a high-water mark for concert albums), that redefined the scope of rock’s musical boundaries. Duane Allman and Dickey Betts pioneered the twin-lead guitar sound so prevalent during the decade that continued well into the 21st century.

In 1990, Eric Clapton performed 18 nights at one of his favorite venues – the famous Royal Albert Hall in London. During the 18 run of shows Clapton performed with three different line-ups: a rock band, a blues band, and an orchestra. Eric returned to the same venue in 1991 with the same three line-ups and played a further 24 shows. The huge undertaking of rehearsing for performances of three distinctly different genres was made even more challenging by the line-up for the rock shows varying from 4, 9 or 13 band members. Clapton has always played with superlative musicians, and these shows were no exception.

Following his death in 2019, Dr. John’s estate has been very careful about posthumous releases. Things Happen That Way appeared in 2022; recorded during his final months, it wonderfully reflected a very intimate portrait of Mac Rebennack playing covers, standards, and originals. The Montreux Years compiles stellar Dr. John performances at the revered jazz festival between 1986 and 2012. His Night Tripper persona was retired, and from the beginning of the 1980s, he focused on releasing records that drew directly on the NOLA piano tradition.

No need for a clock or a calendar; Steve Strauss ticks in much more expansive dimensions. Roughly 10 years after his success with “Just Like Love” the singer & composer presents his album: “Sea of Dreams.” Why did it take so long? Because Steve Strauss lives in two worlds. Parallel to his passion for guitar and writing music this man from New York State is a social worker in his home town Continue reading “Steve Strauss – Sea Of Dreams (2014) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”
