Joe Louis Walker Hellfire (Alligator)
Alligator Records finally snagged one of the great guitarists of any genre over the last 20 years. Joe Louis Walker grew up in the 1960's just blocks from the famed "Fillmore West" in San Fransisco, where he heard the greatest jazz, blues, and rock musicians of the time, often on the same bill. Walker is also a fantastic songwriter and singer, and his debut on Alligator Records doesn't disappoint.
Sharrie Williams Out Of The Dark (Electro-Fi) The acid test of a performers talent is watching them in a live setting. We've been a fan of Sharrie's recordings for a few years, but after watching her perform at Buddy Guys Legends last year at the Blues Blast Music Awards, we can say for certain that Sharrie Williams is the real deal. And one of the sweetest people you'd ever want to meet.
Carolyn Wonderland Peace Meal (Bismeaux)
This summer, we here in Central Illinois got a full dose of the power and talent of Carolyn Wonderland, as she headlined the GLT Summer Concert in downtown Bloomington. Often touted as a cross between Janis Joplin and Stevie Ray Vaughan, neither comparison is fair, as Wonderland has her own sound and voice. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to hear the power in her voice and guitar playing to understand where the comparisons come from.
Nick Moss Here I Am (Blue Bella) Nick Moss continues his foray into blues/rock that began with the release of Priveliged two years ago. You can hear that his music is based in his beloved Chicago blues, but even more than on Priveliged, Moss and his new band bravely veer into musical territory his contempories are unable or unwilling to explore.
Maria Muldaur Steady Love (Stony Plain)
Many people still only know of Maria Muldaur from her radio songs of the 1970's. But Muldaur has been making great music since then, and her latest CD is one of the best in recent years. Steady Love is a New Orleans gumbo of blues, gospel and jazz that'll stir your soul and have you asking why Muldaur hasn't been heard on more radio stations in this country.
Kilborn Alley Four (Blue Bella) Champaign/Urbana IL based Kilborn Alley latest, Four, is infused with an even more soulful sound than past releases, playing to the strengths of the band, and leader/lead singer Andy Duncanson.
Matthew Curry If I Don't Got You (independent)
There are a lot of young "gunslingers" out there, but few are creating their own sound. 16 year old Matthew Curry has that special "it" that's difficult to define, but when seen in person, easy to recognize. Curry has certainly listened to his share of Stevie Ray, Albert Collins, Luther Allison, Muddy Waters and Joe Bonamassa, but with the release of his debut CD "If I Don't Got You, " you can hear that this gifted teen is forging his own path.
