Ruthie Foster – ‘Healing Time’
APPLE MUSIC
I could call this “Pop-Soul.” But Ruthie Foster tiptoes across several musical genres on this new album. She communicates through song better than most artists can ever dream of doing. And if it’s healing you want, Healing Time will deliver. [PREVIEW]
Mississippi MacDonald – “It Can’t Hurt Me”
YOUTUBE

Manlio Milazzi & JJ Appleton – ‘North Of The Sea’
APPLE MUSIC
This album plays and pops like a great live performance. Manlio Milazzi & JJ Appleton team up on an ear-catching set of eclectic tunes. It’s sweet Italian harmonica meets master NYC singer/songwriter — and it’s raw & juicy. [PREVIEW]
Robert Jon & The Wreck – “Pain No More”
YOUTUBE
These guys (Robert Jon & The Wreck) always make my ears buzz – in just the right way. Now that they’re signed up with Joe Bonamassa’s Keeping The Blues Alive record label, I expect 2023 will be a big year. [VIDEO]
Grandaddy Short Leg – ‘The Ballad Of Cain’
APPLE MUSIC
