FEATURED NEW RELEASES
The Trevor B. Power Band	Going To Washington	Are We Ever Free	Farm 189 Records	2024	New Jersey roots music maestro Trevor B. Power's latest release Are We Ever Free is a collection of eleven new original tracks and he pulls no punches on the shuffle “Going To Washington;” a great single release for this election year.	✓
Bobby Hurricane Spencer and Jeff Dale	The Hurricane	The Hurricane Dale Thang	Indie	2024	Bobby had a massive stroke in 2019 followed by several more medical complications the following year that hospitalized him again. He began the long hard climb to get his playing and singing chops back and the band finished recording the Hurricane Dale Thang album just months ago. This project is a testament to the healing power of music and the power of love and friendship.	✓
Gary Myrick	Gloria	The Sum of All My Sins	Sound of Vinyl Records	2024	Gary Myrick, Grammy nominated guitarist, singer/songwriter, and session musician, was born in Dallas, Tex. As a teenage guitarist and vocalist, he performed in Dallas and neighboring Fort Worth, eventually building a significant enough reputation to replace Stevie Ray Vaughan in the Austin band Krackerjack. He has recorded ten solo albums, performed on Late Night with David Letterman and worked on soundtracks in film and television.	✓

Little Georgie and The Shuffling Hungarians	Slow Drivin Man	The Compendium Of Unruly Caterwauling	Queen Bee Brand World Media Group	2024	I first met these “Merry Miscreant Makers of Musical Mayhem” way back in the early days of the web before it became the mess we thread our way through today and am so glad to see that this 17-piece rock and soul orchestra is still a creative force to be reckoned with. On the surface a lurid R n’ B grinder suited for a steamy backseat session on a hot summer night, SLOW DRIVIN’ MAN, the fifth song in an ongoing series of cascading singles, is designed for discerning listeners not always seeking immediate gratification but yet see the value in practicing impulse control.	✓
Stefan Hillesheim Band	Seduced By The Blues	Live at Rosa's Lounge	Stella Blue Music	2024	Stefan Hillesheim is a German native who moved to Los Angeles, California at age 27 to attend Musicians Institute(GIT) where he was awarded “Most Improved Student" of the Year 2015. In 2022 Stefan relocated to Chicago in pursuit of his love for the Blues and is known for his slide playing.	✓
Doug Duffey And BADD	Rock It All Night	Ain't Goin' Back	Fort Sumner Music LLC	2024	Doug Duffey started professionally at age 14 in New Orleans and has been enshrined in the National Blues and Louisiana Halls of Fame, and the Northeast Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. His band, BADD takes its name from the initials of band members' first names: Ben Ford on bass, Adam Ryland on drums, Dan Sumner on guitars, & Doug Duffey on vocals and keyboards.	✓
R.I.P. JOHN MAYALL (November 29, 1933 - July 22, 2024
	Talk Time ID				John Mayall, often referred to the “godfather of the British blues,” whose bands of the late ’60s and early ‘70s featured some of the most notable rock instrumentalists of the era, died Monday July 22 at his home in California. He was 90. For championing the blues, Mayall was awarded Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 2005. In 2016, he was inducted into the Blues Music Hall of Fame, and more recognition came this year with his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, alongside his British blues forebear, Alexis Korner. In addition to his own prodigious output he's best known as the finishing school for elite blues/rock guitarists Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor and many others.
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers	Hideaway	Exclusive Live Rarities	Eagle Records	1966	With Eric Clapton, John McVie, Hughie Flint. Clapton said in the documentary, “He chose me for the way I play; he didn’t tell me what to play” and that was true for 6-stringers in subsequent lineups.
John Mayall's Bluesbreakers	The Stumble	Live In 1967 - Volume Three	Forty Below Records	1967	Feat. the original Fleetwood Mac lineup: Peter Green, John McVie & Mick Fleetwood. Thanks to dedicated fan Tom Huissen who took his one channel reel-to-reel tape recorder into various London clubs in 1967, these historical performances were captured for all time. Unheard for almost ﬁfty years, John Mayall recently obtained these tapes and began restoring them with the technical assistance of Eric Corne of Forty Below Records.
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers	Blues For The Lost Days feat. Buddy Whittington	Silver Tones - Best Of	Silvertone Records	1998	Buddy Whittington was a Bluesbreaker for 15 years. “Most of the time, John would give you about enough rope to hang yourself’.

John Mayall	I'm A Sucker For Love	Wake Up Call	Silvertone Records	1993	This song reunites Coco Montoya with another mentor Albert Collins. "I played at a jam session where John heard me. Clapton was a hero to me, and I tried to emulate him. I thought that was the job. John took me aside and said, ‘Look, where’s that guy I saw at the jam session? You’re trying to sound like Eric. You’re not Eric. Don’t forget the first law of the blues: interpretation.’
John Mayall	Nobody Told Me feat. Carolyn Wonderland	Nobody Told Me	Forty Below Records	2019	Carolyn Wonderland came onboard in 2018 and played John’s last show in 2022.
John Mayall	Distant Lonesome Train feat. Carolyn Wonderland	Nobody Told Me	Forty Below Records	2019	I chose this tune for Carolyn's lapsteel. “It was such a musical education, as well as how to be a bandleader. He gave me board tapes of about 80 songs from different eras, and every night would be a different set; he never wanted it to be the same. And that was the same with the songs. When it came time for your solo, he’d push you until there was some spark. It’s frightening, jumping off the high dive, but it was so freeing, and he was right there behind you, ready. He made everybody reach inside to find out what your inner voice is. It’s like the graduate school of the blues that you never want to graduate from.”
