Live From Birmingham: The Sonics, Otis Gibbs, George Huxley & John Altman

Read "Live From Birmingham: The Sonics, Otis Gibbs, George Huxley & John Altman" reviewed by Martin Longley

by Martin Longley

Take Five with Aaron Akins

Read "Take Five with Aaron Akins" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff

Aaron Akins' music is something out of the ordinary. After all, a voice strongly reminiscent of Nat “King" Cole wrapped up in a sophisticated urban beat is not something heard every day. Stir the ingredients, jazz it up a little, and Aaron Akins might be it. Produced by Darryl Swann (Macy Gray), the singer's second studio album ...

by Doug Collette

The two CD 'Deluxe Edition' of Jeff Beck Performing This Week Live at Ronnie Scott's is a title to be treasured even though it doesn't contain any unreleased content from the previously issued CD and DVD/Blu-Ray pieces.

Read "Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski

Several decades after his tragic and premature death, Jimi Hendrix looms even more larger and deeper than ever.
