Blues Revolution

When was the last time you heard a blues-rock record that paid tribute to the Ramones and Lemmy alongside Howlin' Wolf and Chuck Berry? On their new album "Blues Revolution", Cirkus Prütz want to disarm the world with the combined support of blues and love. With their roots in blues, hard rock and punk, the band is not afraid to break the rules. No one tells them what they should or shouldn't do.

Guitar players are blessed with hundreds of truly gifted masters to study and emulate, but there's only a handful whose voice on the instrument is so innovative, so distinctive, and so signature that it only takes a few notes to recognize its source – please join us in welcoming Robben Ford to the TrueFire family.

On Revolution In Your Heart, Eric Lindell weaves timeless, infectious tales of family, friends and love on twelve new original songs that combine sunshiny melodies and thick, greasy grooves. Lindell does all the singing and performs all instruments except the drums, making the performances exceptionally heartfelt and engaging.

Ace Records’4-CD box set Make It Your Sound, Make It Your Scene: Vanguard Records and the 1960s Musical Revolution is a comprehensive chronicle of the Vanguard sound and style, taking in not only folk, but blues, gospel, country and even rock. (The label’s jazz and classical forays, alas, shall have to wait until another day.) As such, it’s a hugely impressive monument to a decade-plus of recordings that influenced a generation of blues-rock and psychedelic performers as the 1960s made way for the 1970s. But it’s even more of a revelation, for good or ill, that the universal themes reflected in these artists’ works still resonate today. This set isn’t for casual, background listening, but instead offers a serious (and seriously entertaining) glimpse back at a heady time for American culture…

From the moment they were founded, Mojo Man made some serious waves.

Tongue Tied Twin is a far traveled outlaw one man band who plays dirty blues and wild garage rock'n'roll with loads of infectious positive energy. Famous for distorted bottleneck slide guitar riffs played on handmade guitars, accompanied by stomping kickdrum, battered hi-hat and distorted vocals along with some wailing blues harp, Tongue Tied Twin will blow your mind. This one man alone is delivering the power and noisy presence of a full band, and he's doing so with a big smile on his face. Tongue Tied Twin built many of his instruments himself, such as cigar box guitars, canjos, an electrified suitcase kickdrum, a primitive loop-station megaphone among other things.

Hot Tuna is an American blues rock band formed in 1969 by former Jefferson Airplane members Jorma Kaukonen (guitarist/vocals) and Jack Casady (bassist). Although it has always been a fluid aggregation, with musicians coming and going over the years, the band's center has always been Kaukonen and Casady's ongoing collaboration.
