Nick Moss & the Flip Tops: Sadie Mae

"Sadie Mae makes it apparent that Nick Moss has reached new heights and become a serious musical force to be reckoned with. Moss' formidable command of the timeless 1950s Chicago sounds-and all its musical twists and turns since then-captivates the listener via his top-shelf guitar work, vocals showing a new level of effectiveness and expressiveness, and a program heavy on personal songwriting about topics ranging from his own family to one of Chicago's most notorious ghetto scenesters." - Noted producer & journalist Dick Shurman

Willie Phoenix: Quick n' Dirty

This artist represents the new breed of blues musicians that has the current music scene buzzing over their cutting edge blues sound. A fusion of blues, rock and soul influences, Phoenix is a dynamic and versatile talent, who is a seasoned and accomplished singer, guitarist, songwriter and performer. For traditional blues fans, he represents the real thing - a modern day bluesman who, as a teenager, jammed with Muddy Waters and was inspired by his godfather Sonny Boy Williamson 2. For the college crowd, Phoenix is a high energy, intense performer who, quite frankly, wears this rowdy audience out!

Little Charlie & The Nightcats: Nine Lives

Sacramento-based blues, swing and jump masters Little Charlie & The Nightcats have much in common with their feline counterparts. They take great (musical) leaps and always land on their feet, they’re constantly on the prowl (gigging all over the world), and, with all of the various styles of music they play, they seem to have many lives. Their new CD, NINE LIVES, is the ninth album of their remarkable career

Great harp, singing, songs, and a great band to boot, featuring Junior Watson on guitar. If you like REAL blues, and miss William Clarke, you owe it to yourself to check this guy out. Not a clunker on this Cd. Can't wait for his next one. Amazon.com review

Ronnie Earl & Duke Robillard: The Duke Meets the Earl

Duke Robillard and Ronnie Earl are among blues guitar's hottest pistols, but their first studio union is no showdown. Although Robillard is steeped in all aspects of technique and Earl is a pure "soul" player, their styles overlap in the Texas and Chicago schools, which grant both giants plenty of space for elegant and biting single-note solos, daredevil string-bending, and chugging rhythms
