Your Blues News For 2022-11-07

The Commoners – ‘Find A Better Way’
APPLE MUSIC

This Canadian band is totally mis-named. Because The Commoners are anything but common. With a standout lead singer (Chris Medhurst), songs and musicianship to match, this band kills. This is a great Rootsy-Rock album. (Definitely worth a listen.) [PREVIEW]

Joe Bonamassa – “Known Unknowns”
YOUTUBE

Got some production values on this one folks. And you’d expect nothing less from Joe Bonamassa. It’s the great ending song from his Time Clocks album. (A little spooky, but we love Joe.) [VIDEO]

Taj Mahal: “All You’ve Gotta Do Is Step Out Of The Boxes They Try To Put The Blues In”
LOUDERSOUND

The Industry: “Mr Mahal, will you please get in the box?” Taj Mahal: No thank you, it doesn’t fit me.” So ever since the beginning, Mr. Mahal has been breaking his own musical trail. And he’s got some stories to tell. [ARTICLE]

Postcard - Buddy Guy Spotlight - Who Is Buddy Guy
Buddy Guy was born in Louisiana to a sharecropper’s life. He fell in love with the guitar at an early age and by his late teens, was performing with local bands. In the mid-1950’s he made the move to Chicago for the fame and fortune of a Blues career. Well, things worked out – and he’s still going strong, some 60 years later. [READ MORE]

T-Bone Walker – ‘Stormy Monday Blues’ (Reissue)
APPLE MUSIC

I’m not sure how many albums have been released with this title (lots!), but this new reissue from Sun Records (celebrating their 70th anniversary) is a great selection of T-Bone Walker’s work – the pioneer of the electric guitar. (A nice collector’s album.) [PREVIEW]

Ross Harding – “Black Sun Blues”
YOUTUBE

The Blues is everywhere. Want proof? Here’s South African Ross Harding with an angry, raw number that hits you like a fist punch to the chest. The black-and-white photography and dark lighting complete the mood. [VIDEO]

Matt O’Ree Band – ‘Hand In Glove’
APPLE MUSIC

Going by the credits, the songwriting on this album was a band collaboration. And the Matt O’Ree Band sounds completely engaged here. It’s definitely the Rock side of Blues Rock with strong-on-strong guitar work and some terrific vocals from Eryn O’Ree. [PREVIEW]

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!
