The Curse Of KK Hammond has the Devil Kin’s Blues a wonderful album filled with woodland promise and seriously delicious resonator guitar tones and vocals.
ED Brayshaw's creativity playing on Random Repeat a wonderful guitar-centric, but not at the expense of the song, album by a player of serious talent. ED Brayshaw has a touch and feel on the fretboard that many could learn from
Jimmy Regal & The Royals Ain't Done Yet. There’s a lot going on in these 5 numbers! Listening to these varied tracks ensures the E.P. is filed under B for brilliant.

Joseph Velos lands with The Velozians This is a very enjoyable album with many different highlights to investigate: sure, it isn’t blues or rock, but there is plenty to relish, whatever your genre preference.
The real Lady A is Satisfyin’ a great listen if you like soul first and blues second: there is no doubt Lady A has serious talent and if soul is your thing, you’ll love this.
Malcolm Holcombe gets up to Tricks Of The Trade a great listen for the country music lover but still carrying exceptional insight into the realities of life for many in the US. An impeccable band and grizzled vocals communicate the sentiments with genuine passion
Two escapees from our crowded desk - great listening 3 doodle paw delights from Patty Tuite Consider This and Miss Lady Blue - Moe Betta Blues
Mississippi MacDonald Do Right, Say Right is a great listen. An album of new blues seamlessly transferred into new blues. There is plenty of skilful guitar backed by an exceedingly good band, topped by a blues voice that belies MM’s age and origins.
Adventures In Pepperland is not to be sneezed at a great listen that may not be my usual fare, but it has a vibrancy and bounce that is nigh on irresistible and you can’t help but be drawn in and join in…great fun.
