The album begins with ''Beauty,'' and it is Wilko Johnson, loud and clear. This song is bound to connect with fans of earlier Wilko compositions like ''Slipping and Sliding,'' ''Going Home'' (with Roger Daltrey) and, most of all, ''Sneaking Suspicion.'' They could almost be the same chords with different vocal lines (but they are not exactly). In fact, if you play ''Sneaking Suspicion'' and then ''Beauty,'' the two songs are almost interchangeable – but maybe that is the point. This track is familiar as old slippers yet solid and rocky, the lyrics are crystal clear and the chopping guitar sings out the chords. ''Beauty'' is a great rock number with that feel-good factor we have come to expect from Wilko Johnson.

For The Price Sisters, and their new LP, Between the Lines, the familiar adage rings as truly as ever: the third time is, indeed, a charm - Rich in the bluegrass tradition, yet equally versed in country balladry, folk Americana, string bands, Gospel, and even indie blues-rock, the 15-song dazzler reflects a wealth of fresh ideas and precocious wisdom coursing through twin siblings, Leanna Price and Lauren Price Napier. With its arresting melodies intertwined in lush and dexterous harmonies, and supported by the finest of contemporary talent- not to mention some masterful special guests- this brilliant third effort from the duo not only revives and reflects the roots of the art form, but expands, with conscious reverence, upward and outward, budding with ambitious intent.

The Blues Band's new album "Few Short Lines" has been a number of years in the making, whilst they have been skillfully tweaking it to perfection. I haven't stopped listening to it since I bought it, at their recent Winchester gig and I've come to the conclusion that it is an absolute masterpiece!
