Blues, Blues, Hoodoo, Halloween includes music perfect for Halloween that isn’t actually about Halloween, although everything included here is definitely scary on one level or another. Consisting of vintage jazz and blues tracks issued between 1925 and 1961, there are plenty of songs here about devils and witches, including Tampa Red’s “Witchin’ Hour Blues,” Sippie Wallace’s “Devil Dance Blues,” and the Mississippi Sheiks’ “I Am the Devil,” among others. There’s also a classic version of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins doing his signature tune, “I Put a Spell on You,” this one done with the Leroy Kirkland Orchestra.

Black American music has long been associated with both Hoodoo, and in the Caribbean and parts of Louisiana, Voodoo. There are many references to the Hoodoo Man, or Hoodoo Lady, who would cast a spell for you, or supply you with a ‘Conjure Bag’, a ‘Mojo Hand’ or other charms to do the same. The ‘Black Cat Bone’, the ‘John The Conqueror Root’, or the Voodoo ‘Gris Gris. Sometimes to give you power over money, or other powers, but almost always to give you control of the opposite sex. Whichever term you use, Hoodoo or Voodoo, this CD is packed with a diverse selection of great performances from the stars, and journeymen of blues, R&B and jazz.

9. Ain't No Way (3:41)
10. Below The Bottom (3:09)

Minnesota based singer, songwriter and guitarist Mark Cameron has been active in live music for over thirty years. Mark began his performing career in the rich folk-rock scene of the early 1970s and brought this influence into several bands he founded during the 80s and 90s. Today his focus is centered on crafting original blues songs with strong melodies and memorable lyrics. The range of Mark’s material stretches the blues beyond safe limits with a focus on “foot stompin’, butt shakin’” music that is built for a live audience.

After five studio releases in the 1980s and 90s, Mark turned his focus to the blues with Life Of Illusion in 2009. The song “Boxcar Blues” became an instant classic and packs the dance floor at live performances every time. In 2011 Mark released the ambitious project Built To Bust which featured the hipster-swing classic “Do Lovin’ Right” and the Chicago-Blues romp “Tough All Over.” 2014’s One Way Ride To The Blues delivered a raucous blues anthem “Life Is Good When You’ve Got The Blues” and the gospel inspired classic “In This House.” The album Playing Rough (2016) was released in both digital and classic vinyl formats, as were later albums On A Roll (2019) and Nasty Business (2023). MCB is consistently a top finisher in blues competitions and was featured on the 2012 Minnesota Blues All-Stars album.

Known as a charismatic front man and soulful guitarist, Mark engages his audience directly in live performances and delivers his original compositions with a mix of sincerity, honesty and often a touch of humor. He is equally at home on acoustic or electrified instruments and retains writer/arranger credits on all of his recorded projects. Marks vocal range stretches from basement baritone to full-on growl, and his original lyrics draw the listener in and paint a picture of the many worlds within the blues. /Bluestown Music

10. Foolish Game (4:13)

After two years of radio silence, Gerrit Veldman has picked up the thread again. Seasoned and experienced with a long track record and a band that sounds and sounds rock solid, he presented his album, "Shifting Gears," on October 16th at Hedon in Zwolle. Blues-rocking Netherlands needs no further introduction, I think. And for those who want to know a little more: look up the albums of The Veldman Brothers or the Prodigal Sons and enjoy. If you start the album at the beginning—and why wouldn't you?—"Howlin'" immediately delivers a wonderfully satisfying punch to the ears. Everything the band has to offer comes out in a matter of seconds. The beautiful, somewhat husky voice, Roland Bakker swinging through on the keyboards, a rhythm tandem thundering like a locomotive, and then Gerrit himself soloing away as if his life depended on it. Yuck, that's a winner. And in the next track, "Help Me To Remember," the train thunders on at full blues-rock speed. Bakker solos, Veldman pumps through, and Tenny Tahamata on bass and Mathieu van Uden on drums keep hammering away, tight and steady. Van Uden provides the intro to "No Chains" and quickly wins over with the sharp guitar sound in this blues shuffle, while Bakker continues to work his magic on the keyboard. And then the place calmed down. A gorgeous ballad called "Another Day," beautifully sung and even more beautifully on his guitar, brings back memories of Gary Moore. In "Doin' Time," the tempo picks up again, a song that definitely won't leave you sitting still. Veldman is backed vocally by the rest of the band, who sing along to the chorus "Doin' Time" with complete abandon, after which the boss himself pulls out all the stops on his guitar. Bakker also delivers on the piano in this song. Then Stevie Ray Vaughan came along, disguised as Gerrit Veldman in "My Train," good morning! This rip-roaring track is one of the highlights of this rather impressive album. It becomes truly beautiful when Bakker and Veldman alternate soloing while the other two just keep hammering away on bass and drums. Roland Bakker takes the lead in the ballad "Believe Me," a beautifully subdued moment after all the violence in "My Train." The quiet is over when "No Doubt" begins, and Veldman pounds his guitar to the bone, likely needing a new bottleneck after this song. Bakker also goes all out on his Hammond, yet another autumn storm that we're facing. In "Unity," the storm has subsided, and Veldman conjures refined guitar playing from his six strings, which transitions into ripping solos towards the end and then concludes peacefully. And then, yes, then we arrive at "Foolish Game," the closing track that pulls out all the stops once again to bring the album to a swinging close, with a brief pause halfway through, after which Veldman and Bakker pick up the swinging thread again. There you have it, a rock-solid comeback from Gerrit Veldman and his excellent band.

Precious Little is an album by British blues musician Jeremy Spencer, who was a member of Fleetwood Mac from 1967 to 1971. Released on 18 July 2006, this is his fourth official solo album (his first since 1979) and was released on the Bluestown Records label in Norway, though Bluestown Records later licensed it to Blind Pig Records. The album was recorded over five days in 2005 in at the Juke Joint Studio during the Notodden Blues Festival on an analog 24-track machine. Local musicians were used to back Spencer on all tracks, because he believed that "they have retained the 'purity' of the old blues in their playing". Most of the tracks were self-penned, with the addition of covers of songs by Elmore James and Slim Rhodes. The album was produced by Kjetil Draugedalen and Gaute Fredriksen, and the executive producer was Jostein Forsberg. It was mixed at the Supermono Studio, Oslo, and was mastered by Audun Strype at Strype Audio, Oslo.

7. Silver & Gold (4:02)
8. Get Wild On (3:15)
9. I've Got A Dream (3:58)
10. Europa Express (4:27)

The name Blues Against the Machine immediately brings to mind the groundbreaking hard rock band Rage Against the Machine—a group that never shirked its political views and shook up the music world with a unique blend of heavy rock and rap influences. In that light, you could see Blues Against the Machine as a kind of reaction to the rise of artificial intelligence: a statement that real music is still made by real people—musicians who are masters of their instruments. Blues Against the Machine came about more or less by chance when six musicians from five different countries met at the European Blues Challenge. They began playing together from their own perspectives, and over time, they found the right chemistry and musical foundation to continue as a group. Their style is firmly rooted in old-school blues, with clear references to bands like Roomful of Blues and Sugar Ray Rayford. The band consists of:

– Portuguese guitarist Budda Guedes, – Norwegian guitarist Eric Slim Zahl, – Polish keyboardist Bart Szopin, – Spanish harmonica player Danny Del Toro, – Italian drummer Nik Taccori, and – Portuguese bassist Vasco Moura.

The debut album contains ten songs: seven composed by Budda Guedes, two by Danny Del Toro, and one by Eric Slim Zahl. The result is a colorful yet tight ensemble, superbly played—which is not surprising considering the band members' musical backgrounds. The album is a lively mix of blues, jump style, and West Coast boogie. "Hold On to Stay Strong" opens energetically with an up-tempo blues stylistically reminiscent of Monster Mike Welch. "I Ain't Got No Money" is an irresistible West Coast swing shuffle full of playfulness and groove. With "I Am the One to Blame," the tempo slows slightly, leading up to one of the album's highlights: the captivating slow blues "It Is Causing Me Pain." Then, "I Need Love" brings a touch of rock 'n' roll, with keyboardist Bart Szopin and harmonica player Danny Del Toro giving it their all. "I Hate That You Are on My Mind All the Time" is a gritty, raw blues slither in which the band members complement each other beautifully. "Silver and Gold" opens with a rhythm reminiscent of the sound of railroad work—a hypnotic groove, sung by Eric Slim Zahl and beautifully rounded out by Szopin's piano playing. The opening of "Get Wild On" evokes Jimi Hendrix, but develops into a funky number with a powerful guitar riff. "I've Got a Dream" is a different kettle of fish and feels like a pure tearjerker, while "Europa Express" closes the album with an impressive harmonica performance by Danny Del Toro. Blues Against the Machine brings together six experienced European musicians who, each from their own cultural background, offer a fresh yet respectful approach to the blues. With reverence for the old masters, but also with the compelling feeling that collaboration and humanity still form the core of true music.

Dana Gillespie:
After 45 years in music and over 60 albums Dana Gillespie is well qualified to sing the blues. A career that combined radio, theatre, film and sport (she was once British junior water-skiing champion) with music, Dana has been in the public eye since recording her first album at the age of 15. Her music has evolved from folk in the 60s through 70s Bowie-esque glam-rock to the raunchy in-your-face blues she performs today.

Dana Gillespie has been dedicated to the blues from an early age: "I discovered the blues when I went to the American Folk Blues Festival in 1962 and also to see the Yardbirds at the Marquee Club. I was in my early teens and hadn't heard anything like it before - blues wasn't easily available in the UK back then". Bessie Smith especially inspired her because of her combination of sly, funny and bawdy lyrics. "Blues was my first musical love because it's earthy, spiritual and honest."

Mojo Blues Band:
Mojo Blues Band is centered around Erik Trauner, representing a music community of musicians who are passionate for the blues, and they have made the exotic language of the blues to their own. Comparitive to a second hand mother language with all their dialects are the traditional Chicago Blues just as well as swinging R&B and rolling boogie woogie.

The band attempts to create a homogeneous sound. Not the endless soloing of the individual musician, but the question/answering dialogue between the instruments, have priority. A concert with the Mojo Blues Band is always a dynamic suspenseful, hot to cold tub of feelings, with humor in between.

A searing blend of Southern Gothic blues, gospel fire, and soul-drenched storytelling, Ain’t Got Time To Die is a cinematic and deeply emotive journey through love, loss, redemption, and resilience. Rooted in the raw beauty of his island home and infused with the spirit of the American South, Cole’s latest work transcends genre - equal parts sermon and storm. Within its brooding intensity and emotional depth, the album showcases Cole’s commanding vocal presence, gritty guitar work, and a sound that is at once timeless and fiercely original. “This album is about survival - spiritual, emotional, creative. It’s the blues as I’ve lived it”, says Cole.

Produced with a live, analogue sensibility that captures the fire of Cole’s stage performances, Ain’t Got Time To Die marks a new chapter for an artist long respected as one of New Zealand’s most unique and passionate voices in blues and soul music. Produced and mixed by Eddie Rayner (Split Enz, Crowded House) and native NZ engineer Nick Abbott, the record breaks dirt for Solomon and sets the tone for compelling solo work.

Personnel: Solomon Cole (vocals, guitar); Aaron Carpenter (harmonica); Nikki Ngatai, Meredith Wilkie (backing vocals).

8. Trust In Love And Fate (5:05)
9. Worrying You Off My Mind (3:17)
10. Rest In Peace (2:29)

Dave Keyes has put more than 40 years into his two-fisted blues and boogie keyboard work, plus his singing and songwriting, working with countless rock and blues legends, and still finding time for his own illustrious career. The culmination of all that is “Two Trains,” his eighth album, and a superb musical statement about his journey through American roots music.

“For me this album is about coming home to my roots and paying tribute to all the styles that have influenced me since I was a kid,” Keyes says. “Blues, boogie, country blues, urban blues, gospel and some funky stuff. From Ray Charles to Leon Russell and everyone in between. I’m not a purist, but I respect my roots, and I stand on the shoulders of those that have gotten me here.”

Keyes gets first-rate assistance here from Bernard Purdie and Frank Pagano on drums, John Putnam on guitar and pedal steel, Jeff Anderson and Mike Merritt on bass, Rob Paparozzi on harmonica, Hasan Bakr on percussion, Chris Bergson on slide guitar, Alexis P. Suter and Vicki Bell on background vocals. The late acoustic guitarist Woody Mann plays and sings Big Bill Broonzy’s “Worrying You Off My Mind.” Keyes and songwriting partner Mark Sameth contribute eight of the ten sparkling tracks on the session.

The shuffling toughness of the opener, “Blues Ain’t Looking for You,” sets the tone for what’s in store, with a stinging guitar and sharp harp adding to its power. Keyes romps through “Boogie Till The Cows Come Home” with ferocious abandon before launching the swampy philosophy of the title track. “I’m Alright” is soaked with gospel enthusiasm and glorious call and response. The soulful gem, “Long Way From Right, Right Now,” arrives with its mournful harp counterpoint to Keyes elegant piano. The complex social commentary of “What Just Happened” gives way to the simple rhythms of the piano instrumental, “Boogie For Patty,” with Keyes’ powerful left hand underlying the melodic boogie-woogie.

“Trust in Love and Fate” shines with optimism, and then Woody Mann shares vocal and guitar with Keyes, both shining on the old-time country blues of Broonzy’s “Worrying You Off My Mind.” The closer is the tender ballad, “Rest In Peace,” an eloquent tribute to his late wife, Pat Cannon. Keyes says these songs “are topical, both on a personal level and on a world level. There is something here that everyone can relate to: love, loss, joy and pain and how we deal with it all.” Dave Keyes has given us a fine sampler of music from his heart on “Two Trains.” It’s enjoyable on many levels, but the essence of his music is that it’s thoroughly enjoyable. /Jim White, Blues Roadhouse

After a pair of solo albums in the 1970s, he continued to tour as a musician, but did not release another album until 2006. Releasing further solo albums in 2012 and 2014, Spencer has also recorded as part of the folk trio Steetley.

Teves uses vintage guitars and amplifiers for a unique sound. He produced the album himself and asked his friend Jon Atkinson to join on harp and guitar. The rhythm section are Mike Chiricuzio (bass) and Marty Dodson (drums). If you like Big Jon Atkinson's music, you like this one for sure.

Aaron Burton is yet another of those Texan pickers who seems to creep in under the radar, lodging himself in the mind and memory. With around half a dozen albums already to his credit, he brings more than a touch of Down South, low-down and dirty acoustic blues to the mix. Obviously touched by Texan influences, including Sam Lightnin’ Hopkins, Burton nevertheless manages to slip sideways into the slipstream and stamp his own character on the material and the fine fretwork with evident ease.

His droll, drawling vocal delivery matches his picking style perfectly, and he always squeezes some unexpected humor into the lyrical mix. Burton is one of those guys who is clearly comfortable with the music, and has an excellent grasp of the essentials of good ole’ traditional, southern blues. /Iain Patience

10. Bad Condition (4:23)
11. My Home Is In The Delta (3:11)

Walking the Blues is arguably the finest record Otis Spann ever cut, boasting 11 cuts of astounding blues piano. On several numbers, Spann is supported by guitarist Robert Jr. Lockwood and their interaction is sympathetic, warm, and utterly inviting. Spann relies on originals here, from "Half Ain't Been Told" to "Walking the Blues," but he also throws in a few standards ("Goin' Down Slow," "My Home Is in the Delta") that help draw a fuller portrait of his musicianship. Most importantly, however, is the fact that Walking the Blues simply sounds great - it's some of the finest blues piano you'll ever hear. /Thom Owens, AllMusic

Originally released back in 1980, at a time when traditional country artists seemed to be struggling to understand where their sound would fit in with the newly polished production of the time, his eight-song collection The Real Thang was only released on vinyl and met with mixed reviews when it came out. Listening to it now, it's odd to think that the album's blend of White's signature swamp rock sound and smooth late 70s disco was so cruelly overlooked, because it feels totally in step with a lot of other things that were happening in country in the early 1980s.

45 years on and it fits perfectly on any playlist of whatever Kenny and Dolly were up to at the time, Glen Campbell's 80s weird country masterpiece Its The World Gone Crazy, Merle Haggard's 'That's the Way Love Goes' or Waylon Jennings' seminal Music Man.

It's Waylon who rides shotgun as The Real Thang is taken once more around the block with White’s estate, helmed by his son, Jody White, announcing a grand unearthing of the album with a deeper dive into what made the era so intriguing, kicking off with the release of the album's first previously unreleased bonus cut, 'Cowboy Singer' co-written with Waylon Jennings.

“The original album included 8 songs from this wildly experimental time in Tony Joe's career,” says Jody. “As I began to explore a re-release of this lost album, I discovered that TJW had written and recorded many more songs during this period of exploration, but most of them had never seen the light of day. They were kept locked away in his large stash of studio reel-to-reels, and nobody was able to listen... until now.”
The new version of The Real Thang has 18 songs. The first half is a showcase of White’s singing and songwriting as a country artist and includes several songs he wrote and sang with Waylon Jennings during their time together in the ‘70s. The back half finds White moving into more of the “swamp funk” jam sessions, which became instrumental in his live shows.

Al Walker aka Wailin Walker is a singer-songwriter-guitarist from Vancouver, British Columbia whose music borrows from the sounds of 50s and 60s rock with a dash of blues thrown into the mix. He most definitely knows his way around his guitar as he offers employs various tones, as well as wearing his influences on his sleeve. Mister Walker is also in possession of an effective nicely rough-hewn voice. The two bass players occasionally contribute lead vocals as well. The remainder of the band-drums, keyboards and horns are up to the task. As no liner notes are supplied, all songs appear to be written by Walker’s own hand.

He surely has an affinity for early rockers like Little Richard and Chuck Berry, but by infusing their sound into his, not by imitation. The Richard vibe makes an appearance in “She Can Rock” with its’ musical structure very similar to “Good Golly Miss Molly” and “Long Tall Sally”. His pleasing voice is used to good effect along with his blazing guitar. Chuck Berry’s ghost rear its’ head on “All Fired Up”.

His admiration for early 60s guitar instrumentals come in to play as well. The Ventures tone is put to good use on the instrumental “Freedom Rock” with its’ “Secret Agent Vibe”. Link Wray spars with Jerry Cook’s wailin'(no pun intended) sax on “Mambo Wray”. The Ventures meet blues-rock on the exuberant “Devil’s Ride”.

“Cherry Red” is a hard arena rock rocker with brief uncredited harmonica. “Tired Of Begging” is a bit tamer rocker featuring slide guitar and boogie-woogie piano. They show more versatility by doing the 50s-ish rocker “Hold Me Baby”. They rockabilly it up on the authentic sounding “The Stuff I Use”. These guys can really do it all, witness the charging boogie blues-rock of “Smarten Up”. The slow blues-rock guitar instrumental “Napkins Noir” conjures up some of the great smoldering classics of the seventies. The simmering guitar rides atop an organ cushion.

Their influences help them create something refreshingly new. Al is very much a guitar wiz as he masters many styles. Al and the other two vocalists are on the mark, but unfortunately there are no liner notes to tell who is doing what, but it is all good. If you like music that is well played you have come to the right place. /Greg "Bluesdog" Szalony, Blues Blast Magazine

15. Tired Of Being Alone (Feat. Jimmy Dotson) (1:52)
16. West Texas Blues (Feat. Lowell Fulson) (1:50)

The history of blues music will eventually place Bob Corritore in the position he truly deserves. In the meantime, Bob continues his work of elevating the blues to the status of contemporary music. Perhaps Bob is the most generous, the most ubiquitous, the most respectful, and the most deeply committed musician to the universality of a genre that goes far beyond its musical conceptualization. Roots music, African American music, owes its existence to the commitment of its performers, to the shared responsibility of the great family that has embraced and sustained it.

Corritore embodies an intrinsic value within the blues. As a harmonica player, he is already a hero to all those involved, as a reference point, he is an irreplaceable activist working to preserve and harmonize a collective legacy. Born in Chicago in 1956, he first played on Maxwell Street in the early '70s and soon after moved to Phoenix, where he led the scene by performing and recording tirelessly. From those private sessions, Bob has brought to light true gems in his collection "From The Vaults", documents of an era in which legendary artists shared sessions with Corritore that we’ve gradually discovered over recent years.

His latest unearthed treasure is "Early Blues Sessions", sixteen tracks recorded between 1984 and 2007 with legends like Little Milton, Jimmy Rogers, Robert Lockwood Jr. and Lowell Fulson among many others. From here, we can only thank Bob Corritore not only for his music, but also for his unwavering commitment, his loyalty to the blues, his educational efforts, and his unshakable sense of responsibility in showing future generations how this music has kept its soul alive and contributed to the evolution of 20th-century popular culture.

11. Sara (2:50)
12. Thinking About You (2:54)

Néstor Pardo formed his first band in 2004 when he was only nineteen years. He led it as a singer, guitarist and composer until 2009. Formation Rock-a-billy, they released 2 albums and took their show around Spain and Europe, being headliners in several festivals in Holland or Germany. The charism of Néstor on stage he stands out from the first day and as proof of this he is photographed by Antonio Alay for the book "Rockin' Spain", a photography book about the Spanish Rock & Roll scene.

In 2008 he emigrated to Madrid to finish their studies at the School of Creative Music, graduating as a professional guitarist in music Modern. In the following years, which he dedicated exclusively to his studies, receives classes from Diego Araoz on Manouche guitar and a masterclass with Stochelo Rosenberg (The Rosenberg Trio).

While living in Madrid, he filed friendship with musician Roi Fontoira (The Phantom Keys / The Limboos). Tired of the prejudices and closed-mindedness of the Rockabilly scene and watching music as a synonym for freedom, he leaves The Loveless Cousins and forms the R&B and Swing band with Roi The Allnight Workers, with whom he fine-tunes his compositional ability, recording always homegrown songs except for a couple of covers on their first album. With The Allnight Workers he recorded two albums at Lightning Studios Recordings of Berlin which is published by the label Grabaciones De Impacto. They toured all over Europe and their prestige was increases with each new step, being included in several festivals, both from Jazz as Rock & Roll. The Allnight Workers become the European band of Lala Brooks (The Crystals).

In 2012 Néstor returned to his hometown and began to play as a musician of session for different formations (Northwest Pickers, The Hot Chocolates, Dixie Lovers, The Honky Tonkin Boozers, Rockers Go To Hell....).

In 2013 he decided to start a solo career playing his own music, leaving behind all the formations and thus beginning a new stage, in which the musician escapes from any label or prejudice. It was here that Pardo was born, who soon saw his first album, eleven tracks published of his own composition and a celebrated version of Harry Nilson's Everybody's Talking. Recorded with only its guitar and his voice, he begins to tour solo and work full time in the project..

After a couple of months, he called Miguel Martínez and Adrián Seijas as a band of accompaniment (double bass and drums, respectively). With this training presents the album throughout a good part of the country with excellent acceptance and selling out the 700 copies without any promotion or press support.

We arrive in October 2014. Néstor enters the studio again, this time with his band, to record what will be his second album. Twelve tracks of their own composition recorded live at Santa Cruz Recordings Studios and that will be released in January 2015 on the New H-Records label under the title of Let It Stay (2015). Pretty soon you'll have them playing very close to your home!

Otis Spann - Otis Spann Is The Blues

9. I Got Rambling On My Mind #2 (4:06)
10. Worried Life Blues (4:21)

Although Spann made a name for himself in Chicago by the mid 1940s, it wasn’t until 1960 that he got the opportunity to record an album of his own. Otis Spann Is The Blues is not only the first solo album ever recorded by Otis Spann, it is also the first album ever recorded for the fledgling New York City based Candid Records label. Produced by Candid co-founder, famed music critic and social activist, Nat Hentoff, the album captures not one, but two legends at the peak of their powers - Otis Spann and Robert Lockwood Jr.

Lockwood, Muddy Waters’ guitar player, was an obvious choice to accompany Spann at these sessions in August of 1960. It’s worth noting that Lockwood had been a longtime collaborator of Sonny Boy Williamson, and was the step-son and only student of then virtually unknown blues musician Robert Johnson. (Columbia Records would release Robert Johnson King Of The Delta Blues Singers the following year and change the course of music history forever.)

Stripped down to just the two musicians, this magnificently performed and produced set showcases Spann’s voice as well as piano. With only Lockwood's guitar behind him, Spann stretches out with his pulsing two-handed rhythmic attack, and brings the barrelhouse piano style of his youth in line with the modern Chicago style he embodied. These sessions also produced additional material that ended up on Candid’s Otis Spann album, Walkin’ The Blues, released posthumously in 1972.

After a 10-year search, the band has truly found its place. No complicated stuff, just a pumping, no-nonsense boogie that leans towards a dirty, voodoo garage sound but always has the blues at its core. In 2021, they released their third album, BFL#3. The album was met with great enthusiasm and quickly opened doors to numerous venues and festivals, both at home and abroad. /Bluestown Music

In international competition, countries generally define themselves by the brands associated with that country that enjoy a high global reputation. Austria is not blessed with too many such brands, especially when it comes to popular contemporary music. But, as always, exceptions prove the rule. What Kruder & Dorfmeister were and are to downbeat, Joe Zawinul to jazz, or Falco to pop, the Mojo Blues Band is undoubtedly to the blues. No other Austrian group enjoys the same status in the world of twelve-bar music as the Viennese band led by mastermind Erik Trauner. In 1977, an unparalleled success story began in legendary jazzland, brimming with integrity and authenticity, but also with cross-genre hits. In this sense, the Mojo Blues Band is exquisite, living proof of the attitude of the grand master of post-war blues, Luther Allison, who once stated that the blues is "not a matter of race, color, or origin." Because, of course, the cradle of the MBB was not in the Mississippi Delta, but in the center of our home capital. This requires all the more tenacity, assertiveness, and talent if you want to succeed on the international stage. Some say a little bit of craziness is also part of it. There might be some truth to all of this when you start out in Vienna's 8th district and ultimately inspire one of the great legends of Chicago blues, Tail Dragger, to enthusiastically exclaim: "They're the blackest white boys I've ever seen!" Erik Trauner has pursued his path over the decades unswervingly, purposefully, and consistently, blending Chicago blues, R&B, and country blues, and selecting his members so that the current lineup of the Mojo Blues Band is always the best of its time. There is no pandering to this, just an unwavering love for the blues and its roots. If Erik Trauner and the Mojo Blues Band were a film, the title could only be "The Untouchables." It's a good thing Austria has such a brand!

The album features:
5 full-band tracks with gritty grooves and expressive interplay.
4 minimalist arrangements focusing on the raw chemistry between guitar and harmonica.

Adding a surprising twist, the album also includes a cover of Led Zeppelin’s classic “The Ocean”, reimagined through a blues lens.

A mix of soulful roots music with heartfelt grooves, deep blues, and a few unexpected turns.

A multi-faceted artist in the most classic sense, his songwriting, singing, and guitar playing beautifully reveal Nagy’s personalized music refreshingly and honestly infused with elements of soul, r&b, rock, and gospel. So unique and impressive was his debut release, Walk That Fine Thin Line, that it earned Nagy a prestigious Best New Artist debut nomination from the Blues Foundation in Memphis, as well as favorable reviews from hard-to-please critics at top media outlets like Down Beat, All About jazz, Blues Revue, Chicago Tribune, Detroit Free Press, Living Blues, Hittin’ The Note, Elmore Magazine and more. DJs throughout North America, Europe, and Australia responded enthusiastically to Nagy’s music, which debuted on the National Living Blues Radio charts at #14 and peaked at #3 on XM satellite radio -- no small achievement.

Nagy raised his own bar several notches with the dynamic follow-up, Fell Toward None. Ken Bays of Rollingstone.com called the release one of the best of 2011. Nagy also received high praise from such notables as Bruce Iglauer of Alligator Records, Sing Out Magazine, About.com, and much more. The record further carved out his place in the upper echelon of contemporary blues inspired artists, and charted at #3 on XM radio (again, no small achievement).

On the heels of his impressive sophomore record, Nagy was given the honor of performing at B.B. King’s Blues Club in Memphis the following year for the Blues Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony (with icons the likes of Buddy Guy and Allen Toussaint present) as his star continued to rise.

Nagy's third release, Stranded, an eclectic blend of original blues, soul, and r&b released in Feb 2015, received four stars from Soul Bag, DownBeat, as well as high praise from Vintage Guitar, Blues in Britain and more. Stranded also spent 14 weeks at Number One and seven consecutive months in the Top Ten on the Root Music Soul/R&B charts. In high rotation on XM/Sirius and spinning on hundreds of stations around the globe, Stranded most recently made DownBeat's Best of 2015 and was listed the #2 album of the year for Root Music Report's Soul and R&B charts. Stranded is a recording that continues to win Greg Nagy international attention and acclaim.

Greg was a performing, writing, producing, and recording member of the acclaimed Michigan Band Root Doctor for five years. Their album Change Ours Way was nominated for a BMA (Blues Music Awards in Memphis TN) in the Soul Blues Category and charted in the Top Ten for Living Blues Radio Charts in 2007. Greg has also recorded a duet with Georgia Music Hall Of Famer E.g. Kight on her BMA nominated release entitled Bad Times (produced by Paul Hornsby). Most recently he recorded guitar and vocals for the Grammy winning artist Bobby Murray. On this release, Greg sings the title track which is a song about Bobby's former boss of 23 years, the great Etta James. Love Letters From Detroit won a DMA (Detroit Music Award) in 2022. He also has recorded vocals on a track with Ronnie Earl and Nick Taborias on Nick's soon to be released album. Greg has been touring with the Larry McCray Band and performing with his own shows for the past three years.

As of Nov 1st 2024, Nagy is back out on his own and has released his forth solo cd entitled The Real You which is already receiving critical acclaim and significant airplay: (Living Blues Charts, Top Ten International Blues Albums, Number Two Roots Music Report for Contemporary Blues Albums, and Top Ten Canadian Blues Albums Charts). The Real You is also playing on Sirius XM. He is a unique, soulful, compelling, and powerful performer whose records have garnered the praise of industry heavies and his live shows are not to be missed!

Good Time Charlie (GTC) will release album no. 13 – "boomin'". A vital release in the tracks of the debut album "Comin' Down With The Blues" (1995). Here it is time for a reunion with the original cast in great form and brand new songs that speak straight to the heart.

With their first album, GTC helped create something new in the Norwegian context. The album was praised by critics and has since gained status as a milestone among Norwegian blues releases.

GTC was founded in 1982 and is considered a pioneer band in Norway for authentic rhythm and blues, for which they have also garnered national and international recognition. GTC has been the backing band for blues legends such as Lowell Fulson, Hubert Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins and Jimmy Dawkins, among others.

The band developed its own authentic sound early on and has the ability to innovate. This has resulted in a powerful musical melting pot inspired by New Orleans Rhythm and Blues, West Coast Cool Blues, Boogie Woogie and Rockin' Soul.
With 12 critically acclaimed albums and several nominations for the Spellemannprisen, the band has left a clear mark.
