JW-Jones Blues Band: My Kind Of Evil

Read "My Kind Of Evil" reviewed by Jim Santella


Blues and boogie never went out of style. Bands such as that of J.W. Jones continue to explore the kind of hip-shakin’ excitement that long ago brought Elvis into our lives. Their original program combines early rock & roll with contemporary blues and swing, with a lot of earth-shakin’ goin’ on. His fat guitar ...

John and the Sisters: John and the Sisters

Read "John and the Sisters" reviewed by Jim Santella

James Cohen: High Side Of Lowdown

Read "High Side Of Lowdown" reviewed by Jim Santella


Lowdown Blues means the same thing in any language. The acoustic music of nineteenth century gypsies expresses the same message. So do soulful ballads from many distant lands. An operatic moan or a folk lament can accomplish the same goals that came to us through pioneers such as Robert Johnson or W.C. Handy. Django Reinhardt knew ...
