Johnny Winter: True to the Blues - The Johnny Winter Story
by John Kelman
With the release of From His Head to His Heart to His Hands earlier this year, Legacy Recordings proved it was possible to put together a career-spanning retrospective, even if the artist's discography--in this case, the late blues guitarist Mike Bloomfield--spanned several disconnected labels. Now, less than one month later, Legacy does it again with yet ...

by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.
Tedeschi Trucks Band Vogue Theater Vancouver, BC November 8, 2013 Jazz has always taken from the pop music of its day and culturalized it, intellectualized it, added some soul or swing and for those who are capable, added the personalized artistic X factor that is unique to that artist's ...
Tedeschi Trucks Band: Made Up Mind
by Doug Collette
Tedeschi Trucks Band's debut, Revelator (Sony Masterworks, 2010), was a marvel of modern blues-rock. Songs deeply rooted in genre tradition ultimately comprised a deeply felt personal statement by the dual leaders of the group, guitarist Derek Trucks and vocalist/guitarist Susan Tedeschi.The group's sophomore album, Made Up Mind, not surprisingly, radiates an even more mature ...
Tedeschi Trucks Band: Made Up Mind
by John Kelman

Skydog: The Duane Allman Retrospective
by C. Michael Bailey
If a musical note has a soul, Duane Allman could slide up to it and hold it beneath a Coricidin bottle in a tremolo seizure of sonic perfection until it screamed. Whether it is the whiplash introduction to “Don't Keep Me Wonderin'" or the most perfect electric blues performance recorded on “One Way Out," Allman had ...
Sacred Steel: Rev. Utah Smith, et al. and The Slide Brothers
by C. Michael Bailey
The “Sacred Steel" tradition born in the House of God Church some 80 years ago employed the pedal steel and lap steel guitars as the centerpiece of their message. The steel guitars, long an eloquent staple of country and western music are used to a much grittier effect in this largely African-American mode of worship.
Half Note Records: Live from the Blue Note
by Bob Kenselaar
Jeff Levenson has been at the helm of Half Note Records since 2002, just a few years after it got off the ground.

Jimmy Herring: Talkin' Blues, Bluegrass and More

While he might be modest and deferential on a personal level, his latest album is bold and expansive. It ...
