The time has come for Thorbjørn Risager’s fifth CD. Ever since the debut, this great Danish vocalist and his equally outstanding band is delivering new albums with about a year’s interval, full of new compositions. How they find time for this – especially the composing – in spite of their intense touring, is a bit of a mystery. As usual, nearly all the songs are written by Thorbjørn and/or the band. The only exception is a brilliant version of the classical « Baby Please Don’t Go ».
Sue Foley and Peter Karp’s He Said She Said started as a simple email and letter correspondence that took on a life of its own. The letters turned into songs and the songs coalesced into a show that chronicles an evolving relationship between two enormously talented writers and performers.

“He Said She Said » is a unique, daring idea beautifully executed by two talented, inspired artists unafraid to express themselves in songs of love, hope, longing, emptiness and frustration.”

Magic Slim is the greatest living proponent of the intense, electrified, Mississippi-to-Chicago blues style that spawned much of the music played by modern blues artists and rockers. light years away from the generic blues that became the norm when the genre turned into a globalized commodity two decades ago, Magic Slim belongs to the exclusive category of the last of the Mohicans who refused to forgot their traditions and renounce their roughly urbanized Mississippian roots.
With the release of his newest CD, Raising The Bar, Magic Slim and his label Blind Pig (often represented by Dixiefrog in Europe) are celebrating their twenty year collaboration. The album proposes an outstanding collection of older and newer songs culled from Slim's vast repertoire. Bluesweb Price :

For his 10th album, Different Views, blues rocker David Gogo definitely had some unique sights to inspire him during the recording process. Instead of the usual confines of your typical recording studio, the bulk of the album was recorded at his home - overlooking the 160-acre Christmas tree farm and forest that make up the Gogo family compound.
The album is produced by Russell Broom (Jann Arden, Sam Roberts, The Dudes, Wil) with guests Shaun Verrault (Wide Mouth Mason), roots diva Carolyn Mark, and jazz great Phil Dwyer popping in at various times. With the drums set up in the foyer and guitar amps in the laundry room, the Gogo house was filled with music and good food. At times, Gogo wasn’t sure if he was a musician or a caterer! The fact that the clock wasn’t ticking, along with Gogo’s vast collection of vinyl albums, vintage guitars and pop culture memorabilia at their fingertips encouraged a stimulating creative environment. This combination has added variety and spice unlike previous Gogo efforts without losing focus of what he’s all about. Bluesweb Price :

Born four years ago of the reunion in North Carolina of three young African-American players (the oldest member of the trio just turned thirty), the Carolina Chocolate Drops are rapidly growing into some-what of a phenomenon on the American blues circuit these days. Armed with 5-string banjos, fiddles, guitars, jugs, kazoos, spoons and various other percussive “instruments,” the CCD revisit the jug-band and Black string-band music of the ‘20s and ‘30s with the zest of the most energetic hip-hoppers and the acumen of old-time music pioneers. Although they remain faithful to the tradition, they have an atypical way of articulating their own artistic feelings. Here is « Genuine Negro Jig » their new album produced by Joe Henry (Solomon Burke, Ani Di Franco, Betty Lavette, Elvis Costello…). Bluesweb Price :

This Antwerp based three-piece is quoted as the hardest rocking band in the Low Countries and their shows show leave the audience stunned, if not flabbergasted.”What Grabs Ya?” the 3rd Triggerfinger album was recorded recently in the Red Tape studios in Aarschot (B) and produced by Jo Francken. This album boasts - once again - a dose of good old testosterone,
and for the first time, the band’s sound on the album, comes satisfyingly close to the overwhelming live sound they produce. Bluesweb Price :

After one of my concerts during a UK tour, a fan approached me as I was signing CDs and said: “If you’d like to see and play the National guitar that belonged to the famous Delta bluesman, Bukka White, I could meet you at your hotel tomorrow morning.” So, I thanked him and arranged to meet him at my hotel the next morning at ten… As a songwriter, singer and guitarist, I’ve always been waiting to make an entire album that belongs to the recorded tradition of the blues songster. The arrival of Booker’s guitar was the sign I’d been waiting on for years.

Originating from Nantes (France), Malted Milk moves within the sheerest Afro-American musical tradition, brilliantly combining blues and funky soul. The band has become one of the major figures of the French blues scene. This notoriety goes far beyond the French border, since the band has also performed abroad on many occasions to back headliners such as Big Joe Turner or to participate in the finals of the Memphis International Blues Challenge in 2007.
“Guitar Gabriel - The beginning of the Music Maker Story” presents a selection made from among the recordings of Guitar Gabe which Tim Duffy, director of the Music Maker Relief Foundation, possesses. His meeting with this artist in 1991 determined the creation of the Foundation and of the label. Almost all of these titles are yet unpublished. This CD is embellished with a DVD of 75 minutes which tells the history of the Foundation, and a very long
incredible text about the end of the life of this extraordinary bluesman with a flamboyant and excentric personality.

The father of nu bluez confirms his standing as a genius and a precursor with this new release, the fourth chapter of an unprecedented odyssey through the poetic meanderings of the blue note. Mo has taken refuge on the moon this time; in his own iconoclastic way, he's sending us musical dispatches dealing with the often sad, sometimes happy, state of our world. The blues équivalent of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, no less! Bluesweb Price :

Fellow Belgian singer Arno (who already made a noted appearance on their previous set) has repeatedly commended the work of this powerhouse trio from Belgium. The ETBB's members (Boogie Snake Dirty, Wolf and Devil d'Inferno), inspired by the best of Bo Diddley, the Cramps, André Williams and Skip James, proudly assume on this set the delirious and fierce blues music that has become their trademark.
Who would have thought the Man from the North was a highly sensitive soul ?
This is the major revelation from the Norwegian bluesman¹s 10th album. Throughout Fretwork, Bjørn Berge reveals a hidden side of his artistic personality that is both intimate and mature. Whereas his guitar remains as quick and forceful as ever, this highly personal set (most of the songs here bear his signature) provides his fans with a fine mix of folk ballads and strong blues tunes. Fretwork was produced by Bjørn Berge and Kjetil Ulland, with additional help from two Berge compatriots, Oyvind Staveland (violin and alto) and Vidar Johnsen (vocals). The combination of Bjørn¹s playing and Oyvin¹s violin gives some of the compositions on this album an atmospheric feel that will alter lastingly our perception of the Viking guitarist.

Nico Wayne Toussaint is a unique french blues artist. Here is his new album « Blues entre les dents », a personal creation largely inspired by blues music, as usually but, for the first time, with more french lyrics than english lyrics. Nico Wayne Toussaint is one of the rare artists to have created, starting from Chicago blues, a completely personal vocal and performance style. His current musical universe goes way beyond his earlier influences.
“This project is a true trip back in time for me. Many of the tunes in this CD go back to my earliest day as the leader of Roomful of Blues. It was this music that inspired me to add horns to the band and try and reproduce the authentic sound of the early Rhythm and Blues of the mid to late 1940s and 50s. Musicians and singers like Louis Jordan, T-Bone Walker, Big Joe Turner, Roy Milton and Charles Brown were at the forefront of a new music that fused the blues with the rhythm and horn sound of the swing era with the infectious beat of boogie woogie. It is this decade, 1945 to 1955 that made such an impression on me as a young man and inspired me to form the horn driven version of Roomful of Blues in the early 1970s. A group that is still touring and recording today after 40 some years! I have been fortunate to have a wealth of great players over the years in my bands and on my recordings. Some Duke Robillard Band alumni and some Roomful alumni also. So this CD is really a reunion of sorts between players and tunes.”

Featuring : Neal Pattman, Dr Burt, John Dee Holeman & Boo Hanks.
What can an old man do but sing the blues? asks Dr. Burt in the song that gave this album its name. The question has its merits, and the four artists presented on this CD confirm that unrequited love, poverty and injustice have lost none of their edge with time. All beneficiaries of the Life Maintenance and Emergency Relief programs set up by Tim Duffy’s Foundation, Pattman, Holeman, Hanks and Burt show that the blues can describe old people’s ailments as effectively as they expressed young people’s frustrations during the Depression.
Some are dead, some are gone. Bob Still sings his songs. He’s unique. This kind of Britany coast pirate, rocks and rolls terribly fast! The well respected singer burns the whole house down with his usual desperados. "Time To Blast" comes straight to your heart and blows your mind. Bob is a sailor and sea is small for such a hurricane. The guy never played nothing but Rock, and without any compromise.

Himself from the Métis nation -a distinct culture of his mixed Cree aboriginal and European ancestry- Wayne Lavallee is beholden to the spirit of his Métis ancestors, a spirit that embraces freedom, and a fierce self-determination that is not dictated by government and boundaries.
Lavallee roams from Indian chants to blues to rock to reggae with a sense of artistic freedom that transcends classification, leaving you with the distinct sensation that you’ve just crossed paths with an unusual singer-songwriter, and a major one at that.
Yet what makes Lavallee so atypical is his outstanding ability to express his communion with the essence of nature in a progressive manner. Based on his haunting melodic approach, the 2006 winner of the “Best Aboriginal Songwriter” award of the Canadian Folk Music Society creates a contemporary take on Native mysticism without reneging his own political agenda.
Clearly, Lavallee’s music is that of a survivor. That he is able to turn it into a tool for global fraternity is proof that the old fighting spirit of his ancestors is still very much alive. His sheer poetic force is a lesson in artistry we are much to be thankful for.
Albert Cummings is a masterful guitarist of the highest order whose stinging, incisive guitar work has been winning legions of new fans. His "unbridled ferocity and deep soulfulness, matched only by his terrifying technique and tone" (Guitar One) are on full display throughout his latest release « Feel So Good-Live ». Music Connection called it "one of the best live albums recorded in a long time," while AllMusic said "it sounds like it was one hell of a party that night." At the controls is Jim Gaines who produced the last two Cummings CDs, not to mention albums by Carlos Santana, Buddy Guy, Steve Miller and Tommy Castro among many others. Bluesweb Price :

Eric is at the top of his game on stage, giving performances often met with standing ovations, and all blues lovers concur in saying that an Eric Bibb concert is a truly unique experience. France’s FIP Radio recorded two of these magical moments, on March 13 and December 2, 2008, so Eric’s fans could share the freshness and spontaneity of his music in the form of this double Digipak CD.

For the second performance (CD2), he is backed by his regular drummer and Amar Sundy on electric guitar. CD2 is enhanced by a 20-minute video taped live that night, with additional interview excerpts. This “Live at FIP” double set is bound to become a milestone in Bibb’s career. It shows the full extent of his artistry as he glides gracefully over a repertoire made of his strongest material from the last fifteen years.
A blues odyssey under the stars of the African desert! Sadaka (Sahraoui for “sharing”) is Amar’s fifth album. With blues still running through his veins, he revisits his African roots in a rich rhythmic and vocal context, filled with bendir drums and female voices - Special guests : Eric BIBB, PURA FE’, Joe Louis WALKER, Khalil CHAHINE, Lisa DOBY, Sylvin MARC and Mokhtar SAMBA.
