Delmark Records – ‘Delmark 70th Anniversary Blues Anthology’
APPLE MUSIC
This one’s from the vaults at Delmark Records. This album is a showcase for 10 Delmark artists. Each song is a classic and each artist was an enormously influential Blues musician. They’re presented here at the height of their talents. They all brought a special power to their music that many musicians today can only mimic. If you’re a true “Blues believer,” you’ll enjoy these vintage performances. [PREVIEW]

YOUTUBE
This is exciting! Kenny Wayne Shepherd has a new album dropping this Fall (‘Dirt On My Diamonds Volume 1′). It’s all new material and according to Kenny, “nothing was off-limits.” Well, if this video is any indication, this album will be one for the ol’ favorites library. [VIDEO]
“25 Best Blues Guitarists Of All Time”
ULTIMATE-GUITAR
This is an “argument-starter” if there ever was one. The folks over at Ultimate Guitar asked the question last week. Their readers listened. Then, out of the melee of responses that followed, the editors compiled this list. Some pretty deserving players are listed. But as usual, it’s the ones that didn’t make the list that cause the biggest commotion. [ARTICLE]
John Németh & The Blue Dreamers – “My Baby’s Gone”
YOUTUBE
It’s good to see that John Németh is back on the road. Gigging up a storm like he should be. This recently released video, of his 2022 Fallout Shelter show, is a reminder of just how much he can rock things up on stage. Now John, if you could just do a show a little closer to Los Angeles. (Asking for a friend.) [VIDEO]
The Boneshakers – ‘One Foot In The Groove’ (Deluxe Edition)
APPLE MUSIC
When you’ve already got a mouth-wateringly good album, and you want to lux it up, what do you do? Well, you add 5 more tracks to it of course. (1 new tune & 4 acoustic callbacks.) That’s what The Boneshakers did. And with Jenny Langer’s superbly soulful vocals leading the way, they pulled it off in grand style. (What a great voice!) [PREVIEW]
Chloe Kay And The Crusade – “Liar”
YOUTUBE
Let’s put this one in the “up-and-comers” column. Chloe Kay And The Crusade is an Aussie band, making waves down under for only a couple of years now. No album yet, just singles and videos. But they’ve got a sound and Chloe sounds like she can sing anything. Watch this space. [VIDEO]
