Blues / Rock / Folk

Nicholas Barron is Chicago music. He sings like those blues cats that used to play on Maxwell Street. He performs and writes a mix of Acoustic Folk, Blues and Soul music ; spiritual, real, and deeply poetic. He plays guitar in a style that is truly his own; at once percussive and highly rhythmic with big beautiful chords and in funky tunings with his original one man band attack.

Acoustic Blues

From his previous recordings, you may be familiar with Tony as a brilliant, young banjo player with a gifted technique. Adding slide guitar and resophonic instruments to his musical collage, Tony has captured a clarity of style reminiscent of Ry Cooder. Melodic, spacious, dynamic and full of life, this recording will mark Tony as a leader and definitive player for the next generation. With special guests: Mike Marshall, Todd Phillips, Brain, Kelly Joe Phelps, Stuart Duncan and Aaron Johnston.

Acoustic Blues

American Gypsy, his most diverse album yet. He plays both electric and acoustic slide guitar, as well as his banjo, in music that runs from jazz-rock fusion in style to Celtic to rural blues. He also does some vocals, and proves himself to be a respectable and likable singer. The result is an album that is both entertaining and absorbing, with its intriguing mix of influences, often within a single tune, and his skill at putting a new spin on some old songs.

Acoustic Blues

Tony Furtado is a fantastic banjo and slide guitar player who has mastered traditional forms as well as helped take acoustic-based roots music into new realms. On his new disc Furtado blends electric instruments and percussion in his mostly acoustic mix, with stunning results.

Electric Blues

From the Artist,This is the CD I’ve had head in my head for a while. With You & Me, we are trying something different, trying to extend the boundaries of traditional blues. In essence, we wanted to do our part in helping to redefine the sound of modern blues music.

Electric Blues

New York guitar phenom walks tall in the blues tradition with this third album, jettisoning fiery riffs inspired by John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Elmore James, SRV, and Albert Collins into the future with furious playing, a hard-rock sensibility, and a grizzled voice that owes a debt to Gregg Allman.

Electric Blues

Joe Bonamassa's Had to Cry Today is a 11-song tour-de-force from a young bluesman that brings back memories of early Albert Collins and Johnny Winter. Had to Cry Today is Joe's follow-up to Blues Deluxe, this one features a mix of originals and covers that blaze the trail onward for Bonamassa.

Fusion / Blues

Well to the Bone is Scott Henderson's third solo outing and perhaps his best to date. Unlike the first two releases, "Dog Party" and "Tore Down House" which were heavily blues influenced, "Well to the Bone" is somewhat of an enigma and hard to categorize into any one genre. Nevertheless, the songs and guitar compositions are probably the best Henderson has ever penned.

Electric Blues

Henderson strengthens his case for why he is an extremely versatile guitarist. His exceptional playing is supported by drums, bass, harmonica, keyboards, sax, flute, trumpet and trombone as well as the vocals of the great Thelma Houston and the somewhat lesser known, Masta Edwards.

Electric Blues

Scott Henderson's playng on this cd represents a blend of blues and fusion that works seamlessly with the composition. Henderson steps outside of the framework of your basic I-IV-V blues progression and displays a harmonic vocabulary that you would have to search far and wide to equal.

Electric Blues

“From the Reach,” Sonny Landreth’s ninth album, is the first to be released on his own Landfall label. On it, the Louisiana-based slide guitar wizard does something unprecedented in his body of work, as he collaborates with five of the greatest guitar players on the planet – Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson and Vince Gill – for some jaw-dropping performances.

Electric Blues

"There are chords that chime, dance atop the beat, mutate in midair or huff like a harmonica. There are fast-picked overtones that arrive like a tuned hailstorm and gutsy nuances of distortion and feedback. The effects can be startling, but they're never gratuitous. They are the sounds of a musician who has deeply investigated his instrument without leaving his roots." —The New York Times

Electric Blues

In Step is a blues-rock album by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble released in 1989.
