Jeremiah Johnson – ‘Hi-Fi Drive By’
ATWB
This is one squared-away album! Jeremiah Johnson’s made a ten-tune record that hits every spot that needs hitting. I love his guitar work and the horns, backups, & songwriting – it’s all there. I think he crushed it. (Definitely worth a listen.) [MY REVIEW]
The California Honeydrops – “Soft Spot”
YOUTUBE
This video is part recording session and part “taste of New Orleans.” It’s the title track from The California HoneyDrops’ latest album. And a peek into that full-band sound they do so well. (I can almost see the French Quarter now.) [VIDEO]

Dave Keyes – “That’s What the Blues Are For”
APPLE MUSIC
Dave Keyes is a keyboard player with more chops than an executive chef. And just in case you were wondering “what are the Blues (good) for?,” he’s got an answer for you too. (Hint, heartache and crying have something to do with it.) [VIDEO]
Joe Bonamassa – ‘Road To Redemption’
APPLE MUSIC
What’s this? Why it’s Joe Bonamassa sneakin’ in an album. It’s actually 6 songs from his 2018 Redemption album. 3 original tracks and 3 bonus tracks. Reworked a bit, remixed I think, and definitely sounding real good. (The man never stops working!) [PREVIEW]
Supersonic Blues Machine – “Do It Again” (feat. Ana Popovic)
YOUTUBE
A little Blues-Rock anthem here from Supersonic Blues Machine. It’s about, “the happiness and blessing of being able to do what [they] love,” – music of course! (It’s all served up with a little tasty help from Ana Popović.) [VIDEO]
