This song makes everything that happened on the Tedeschi Trucks Band's Grammy-winning Revelator debut in 2011, not to mention last year's concert recording Everybody's Talkin', seem like a good-fun preamble. There's a refinement about this advance track from Make Up My Mind, due on August 20, 2013 from Sony, a taut sensibility that only comes from shared musical histories, shared [...]
Arriving like a perfect combination of everything that the late Ray Manzarek brought to the Doors - this free-form, jazz-inflected sense of freedom - and the gnarled dangers of Roy Rogers' slide blues, "Just Like Sherlock Holmes" is a fine valedictory. Check out Rogers, midway through, as he bursts forth with a furious moment of improvisation, edging almost into math [...]
Booker T.'s "Father Son Blues" - which, yes, features his talented offspring Ted Jones - opens with a grease-popping organ lick before recapturing a groove familiar to anyone who ever soaked up a Stax Records side back in the day. Not that there aren't new things to dig into. In fact, if you listen hard enough, you almost hear a [...]
We heard from The Last Monroes a while back with the release of Live From The Barn, a great introduction to what they’re all about. The Wicklow duo (of Simon Quinn and Konrad Sheane) are back with a new video for 'Underneath the Streetlight', directed by Shane Doyle. 'Underneath the Streetlight' is a supercharged blast of heavy blues riffage, a serious [...]
Review: Lady Lamb The Beekeper / Torres I will open this by stating that prior to seeing Aly Spaltro perform live at Pub Rock on Friday, June 14, I wasn’t too exposed to her. So perhaps it’s a little unfair to say that I was absolutely swooned by this girl. While I’ll admit that her recorded persona is already commanding and cinematic, to experience Lady Lamb is to see her live. It almost seemed like you’re just hanging out with your friend, drinking a beer, and listening to her jam. [...]
Poo poo pe doo! Embody the sexiness of miss Monroe by wearing the Marylin dress! The Marylin is cut in a seducing yet subtle way and will give you the allure of an actress and the voluptuousness of a gentlewoman. This splendid backless dress is fastened with two golden press stud buttons. Her lightness makes it a perfect cocktail apparel [...]
An easy atmosphere of camaraderie, a lived-in sense of community, surrounds this homey reunion, as Delbert McClinton and Glen Clark amble up, sit a spell, and share a few songs. You can almost hear the rocking chair creaking below them on the front porch. They open with a tough-old-bird blues called "Been Around a Long Time," trading lyrics like scraggly [...]
Kickstart your weekend with a sleazy, adrenalin fuelled shot of The Floors, who are releasing a new single of bluesy, sonic mayhem, Built From Bones, on limited 7” vinyl. The b-side is taken from last year's debut album Dead Beat - the wonderful delta blues bump 'n' grind of Pick Up Your Bones. Naturally, with two songs mentioning bones, the tour to support this little gem is called... The Bones Tour . Have a listen. Follow @madmackerel
Photo by G. Quinn Sullivan and Geoffrey Dicker If you want to restore your faith in humanity, get to know the music of Quinn Sullivan . His music sounds like he's an old blues man, but sounds can be deceiving. Quinn Sullivan is a mere 14 years old! WOW! He appeared on TV at age 8 as a guitar prodigy and has just gotten better and better ever since. His story is truly inspirational and just goes to show that not everyone in the younger [...]
Another week, another batch of the finest sounds to fill your weekend with. Enjoy... No Age | C'mon Stimmung Here it is then, the first single to be released from No Age's brand new album An Object , which is set for release on August 19th. Brash, noisy, sloppy and in-your-face? Yup. Fucking brilliant? Absolutely. August. Now. Please. Thanks. * Solar Year | Seeing The Same [...]
Arriving in official form so many years later, the fabled late-1960s The Basement Tapes project was almost destined to disappoint. Too much mythology had come to surround their Bob Dylan collaborations by 1975. Some wondered about the timing, accusing Robbie Robertson of masterminding the belated release as a money grab - being as the Band hadn't released a stand-alone album [...]

Black Joe Lewis have announced details of their brand new full-length LP, Electric Slave , to be released on August 27 on Vagrant Records . The first taste is the excellently named Skulldiggin , which grips from the off with a blistering, distorted blues riff of righteous fury and a gruff vocal of just the right amount of hellfire and brimstone zeal to match. Welcome back boys! Follow @madmackerel
A friend had been pushing me to listen to this band for some time but based on the name I assumed it was some shitty scream-metal-rock band he's into. After finally giving this track a shot, I was sold. The guys voice is awesome, the lyrics are quality and this song in particular is quite [...] Like this?

1960s hard rock innovators rock hard live in 2008 Few knew what to make of Blue Cheer when they released Vincebus Eruptum in 1968 and their outrageously electric cover of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues" climbed into the Top 20. Amidst a music scene that had grown louder and harder in the aftermath of the Summer of Love, Blue Cheer was harder and louder than anything around them. They took rock music to 12, pasting together the hardest, loudest bits you might have heard from The Who or Jimi [...]
Wide-ranging set of CSN&Y covers This double-album tribute to the music of CSN&Y was released in 2012 as a fundraiser for the Equestrian Therapy Co-Op in Simi Valley, CA. The twenty-seven artists range from high-profile names (Judy Collins, Elliott Murphy) to cult favorites (Steve Wynn, The Coal Porters, Willie Nile, Cindy Lee Berryhill) and a number of newer and less globally-famous acts, including Stephen Stills' daughter, Jennifer. Each takes a personal approach to a song from the various catalogs associated with CSN&Y, together, solo, and in earlier group incarnations, such as Sugarcane [...]
Mocht u ‘m nog niet kennen: Ignatz is Bram Devens, België’s voornaamste bluesheld sinds halverwege het vorige decennium, toen zijn debuut verscheen bij het KRAAK label. Sindsdien lijkt er op het eerste gehoor weinig veranderd te zijn in zijn muziek, dat vooral naam maakte met donkerte en korrelige opnamekwaliteit. Uit de nog te lezen tekst hieronder valt echter op te maken dat er heus wel wat meer te vertellen valt over Can I Go Home Now? , Ignatz’ vijfde of misschien wel zevende plaat, en de eerste op het Finse Fonal Records . [...]
KT Tunstall è tornata. Il nuovo album, Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon esce oggi, 10 Giugno, in Europa e Inghilterra e segna un interessante punto a favore per la carriera della cantautrice scozzese: 12 canzoni (più una bonus track se lo si scarica da iTunes) che raccontano in chiave intimistica e personale, con una nota di fragilità emotiva, due momenti chiave dello scorso anno nella vita della cantante, la morte del padre malato e la fine del matrimonio col batterista Luke Bullen. Il disco è trainato dal primo estratto [...]
