Blue Deal – ‘Holy Ground’
APPLE MUSIC
Almost missed this one. Blue Deal’s debut album. This is mouthwatering Blues Rock – Southern Black Forest Blues Rock that is. Well put together too. I’m gonna need to keep this German band on my radar. (Definitely worth a listen.) [PREVIEW]
Jimmy Hall – “Risin’ Up”
YOUTUBE
One thing’s for sure, Jimmy Hall knows how to work his way through a great tune. Here’s one he wrote (with Joe Bonamassa and Tom Hambridge) for his brand new album Ready Now. [VIDEO]
The Blues Rock Show With Matt Stubbs Of GA-20
YOUTUBE
Here’s Matt Stubbs being interviewed on the road, from his van. That *really* illustrates the life of a working Blues musician. He still manages to share some interesting tidbits about his life and work though. [PODCAST]
Anthony Gomes – ‘High Voltage Blues’
APPLE MUSIC
Anthony Gomes’ new album is perfectly named. It’s a rocked-up set of old & new material. And every song’s a thunderbolt. He does a heavy lean into the Rock side of Blues-Rock. (And it sounds good!) [PREVIEW]
The Terraplanes Blues Band – “Stepping Stones”
YOUTUBE
Black & white, behind-the-scenes footage of The Terraplanes Blues Band working in the recording studio. Not really a performance video. More like a look at the *glamorous* recording life of these UK Blues Rockers. [VIDEO]
Troy Redfern – ‘The Wings Of Salvation’
APPLE MUSIC
2-3 albums a year. That’s the pace Troy Redfern is on. How does he write so much? Don’t much care, as long as the albums are as good as this one. (And this one might be his best.) [PREVIEW]
Malaya Blue – “Bring Me Your Sin”
YOUTUBE
This is the first single from Malaya Blue’s October album (Blue Credentials). It’s definitely a little on the hot and steamy side. And I love the fact that she’s singing just to me. (It is just me right?) [VIDEO]
Jimmy Hall – ‘Ready Now’
APPLE MUSIC
Jimmy Hall’s had a lot of musical success (Wet Willie, Jeff Beck). But where in the past the spotlight was shared, this time it’s *all* Jimmy. His solo album snaps, crackles, and pops in all the right places. (48 minutes of smile-time.) [PREVIEW]

DISCOGS

I’m one part Blues Fan and one part Digital Native (with a dash of Curmudgeon.) I’m also the publisher of AlltheWayBlue.com. If you love the Blues, I have a feeling we’ll get along just fine - cheers!
