Bishop’s 1959 Gibson ES-345 guitar, affectionately named “Red Dog,” is the stringing theme for Bishop’s latest record “Red Dog Speaks.” Having his album “The Blues Rolls On” nominated for a Grammy in 2008, Elvin continues his tradition of blues with style. Bishop chose to broaden his style for this new album. He samples his skills in Zydeco, Rock & Roll, R& B, and even Gospel. These many styles can be heard in songs like, “Doo -Wop Medley,” “His Eyes on the Sparrow,” and “Get Your Hand Out of My Pocket.” Like a faithful companion, “Red Dog” works with his “best friend” Bishop well on “Red Dog Speaks.”

 | Indigenous
Weaving history and art together through song is the basis for Indigenous’s new record, “The Acoustic Sessions.” The band’s 14th album shows the band’s dexterity. With samples of lyrical, percussive, and spiritual styles, the band’s native roots are a key source of inspiration for the band. A self- produced album, songs like “Now That You’re Gone,” “Leaving,” and “You got it,” have the passion today’s music seems to lack. With their signature blues sound mixed with a touch of rock, “The Acoustic Sessions” is another gift for fans of blues.

 | Smokin' Joe Kubek & Bnois King
Raising interest in Billboard and The Blue Revue, Smokin Joe Kubek and Bnois King team up for a respected project, “Have Blues Will Travel.” Instead of adding various genres in the mix, they decided to stick to original blues. The tracks “Shadow in the Dark” and “My Space or Yours?” have that familiar blues flavor, but they become unique with both Kubek and King’s secret ingredients. Even the artists themselves became proud of their work. “I've been listening to this album over and over again,” says Kubek on his website. “…I don't get tired of it. In fact, I've become a big fan of it, and I start thinking, ‘Man, I wish we had made this record.’”

 | Peter Parcek
After his freshman solo album in 2000 entitled “Evolution”, Peter Parcek is back with “The Mathematics of Love.” Adding a little bit of instrumental comedy with songs like, “Rollin’ With Zah” and combining it with his own flair, the end result is a record filled with soul and various styles, while maintain a classic blues sound.

![](images/releases/Magic_Slim-_"Raising_the_Bar".jpg) | Magic Slim- "Raising the Bar"
The 20 year collaboration between Magic Slim and his label (Blind Pig) is a milestone worth celebrating. It seems fitting to celebrate by releasing the new record, “Raising the Bar.” The title is spot-on, reflecting Slim’s performance personality. His mastery of blues performance makes him a tough competitor to outshine. On this album, the guitars sing along with Slim’s vocals. Highlights like, “4:59 A.M.,” “Part Time Love,” and “Mama Talk to Your Daughter,” demonstrate the Southern blues styles Slim is known for. 20 years with a record label is an achievement, and so is this great record.

 | Clovis People Vol. 3
Some people say they play the blues, some people pretend to play the blues, others fuse the blues with different musical styles and traditions.
Otis Taylor really plays the blues.
2009 found him releasing Pentatonic Wars and Love Songs,which explored the complexities of love. He has now returned with Clovis People Vol. 3, which is a very back to basics and stripped down album. He has created a sparse sound with a hypnotic style.
First, if you enjoy this album please note there are no volumes one and two despite the title. Second, The Clovis People no longer exist and their name was chosen long after they had passed away. Near Taylor’s home in Colorado archeologists discovered tools and pottery which belonged to an ancient people who inhabited the area 13,000 years ago. They were named Clovis because of the unique shaping of their tools and are considered to be among the oldest inhabitants of North America.
He gathered an eclectic group of musical supporters for the album. Foremost is rock/blues guitarist Gary Moore, with whom he has toured on three separate occasions. Moore does not dominate the songs but subtly fills in the blanks when needed. Pedal steel guitarist Chuck Campbell is on board as is his daughter Cassie Taylor who plays bass. Perhaps the most interesting musician is cornet player Ron Miles whose sound melds with the primitive rhythms of Taylor’s guitar.

 | Jonny Lang: Live at the Ryman
While still in his teens in the mid 1990s, Jonny Lang exploded onto the national scene with a combination of highly developed blues guitar chops and a powerful voice that rivaled some musicians more than twice his age. And that was just the beginning. Fifteen years and a half-dozen studio albums later, he has evolved into a seasoned musician and a road-savvy showman capable of delivering powerful live performances on his home soil and just about every other continent on the globe.
Live at the Ryman, Lang's first-ever live recording, offers a compelling glimpse of a young guitarist at the height of his creative powers, yet still open to exploring the depth and range of the blues and its relationship to R&B, soul, rock, gospel, funk and so may other emotionally riveting forms of music.
Release Date: April 20, 2010.

 | Sue Foley & Peter Karp
The source of inspiration for the newest record “He Said, She Said” by Sue Foley and Peter Karp is rare. The two artists corresponded through mail, which started out casual then turned into something more. With the later letters becoming more poignant, the Canadian Juno Winner (Foley) and American Singer/Songwriter realized the letters were a resource for new music. Tracks like “Baby Don’t Go” and “Regret” give depth and emotion to the record. Winning praise from The Blue Revue, the letters of inspiration prove to be more than just words.

 | Johnny Moeller
Johnny Moeller's guitar playing is full of voodoo and lighting. The floating bent notes, delicately singing phrases, bursts of staccato picking, and ringing piano-like chords that he sculpts into vibrant solos bring all the beauty, power, and mystery of the blues to life on his new album Bloo Ga Loo." Moeller, who leads his own bands and is a member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, is the latest in a long line of six-string wizards to hail from Austin. Although his playing is influenced by legendary Lone Star staters like Alber Collins, Lightnin' Hopkins and the Vaughan Brothers, "I've never really tried to emulate anybody else," he explains. "I have my own thing, which is blues based, and then I like to mix in everything else I love: soul, jazz, funk and rock 'n' roll."

 | Delta Moon
2010 "You'll never get to heaven on a hellbound train," singer Tom Gray croaks in this CD's opening number, whose rather obvious message blossoms into a pungent cautionary tale. Delta Moon churns out a thick blend of Chicago slide-guitar blues and Southern soul-rock, and Mark Johnson plays a mean slide guitar, but it's the pair's focused songwriting that makes this disc a keeper.
The music on "Hellbound Train" is as emotional as it is economical and tough, with time-worn themes – stories about jailbirds, drifters, and dashed hopes – couched in powerful and poetic imagery.
Release Date: April 6, 2010

 | Seasick Steve
On "Man From Another Time," his American debut album for Rykodisc, Seasick Steve combines this gritty sort of lyrical authenticity with an organic sound where things are left as simple as humanly possible. Steve is basically a one-man show here, captured on one gloriously analog recording.Accompanied only by Swedish drummer Dan Magnusson, Steve wraps his vagabond tales of working in apple fields ("Wenatchee") and spending time in a Spokane slammer ("Never Go West"), around a funky sort of country-blues that owes as equally to Mississippi Fred McDowell and Gram Parsons as it does to ZZ Top and Jack White. Release Date: March 30, 2010.

 | Joe Bonamassa
Just awarded the Breakthrough Artist of the Year Award at the UK's prestigious Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards, blues-rock guitar hero and singer-songwriter Joe Bonamassa is set to release his tenth full-length solo album, "Black Rock." This album was recorded at, and named for, Black Rock Studios in Santorini, Greece. With this album, we wanted to explore a world feeling, and this was the inspiration behind going to record in Greece and using some of the best Greek musicians to add a little flavor to a couple of the tracks. But it s by no means a world album. We wanted Joe s usual youthful and energetic tones to play alongside the worldly vibes of the Greek bouzouki and clarino, said producer Kevin Shirley. Bonamassa says, “It was the kind of record Kevin and I wanted to make.” Release Date: March 23, 2010.

After seven critically-acclaimed traditional blues releases. Nick Moss is taking a fresh approach and heading in an exciting new direction on "Privileged." As Blogcritic Josh Hathaway writes in the liner notes, 'Privileged represents a change in direction but not inspiration.

 | Mathew Stubbs
Matthew Stubbs is a poet. But this 2009 Blues Audience Magazine Award Winner for 'Outstanding Guitarist' and '2009 Boston Music Award Nominee for 'Best Blues Act' uses a guitar instead of a pen. So notes Dennis Brennan in his reflections on the new Blue Bella release, "Medford & Main." 'Matt's thing on this recording is soul and blues-based guitar instrumentals. Like all the greats-Booker T. & the MGs, Freddie King and Stuff-the music connects with this listener in a primal way. I want to dance. I want to sing, and I want to make up my own words.' As a bandleader and composer, Stubbs has earned himself a reputation for his ability to write tremendously catchy music.
