Blues music is revered for its timelessness. The best blues–no matter how old sounds as fresh and visceral today as it did when first recorded. The high-energy electric blues trio GA-20 –guitarist Matt Stubbs, guitarist/vocalist Pat Faherty, and drummer Tim Carman –know this well. The band’s dynamic self-penned songs sound and feel as fresh and real as the old blues they love and perform, including songs by Otis Rush, J.B. Lenoir, Howlin ’Wolf, Junior Wells and especially their favorite, Hound Dog Taylor.Legendary six-fingered Chicago bluesman Theodore Roosevelt “Hound Dog” Taylor always knew how he wanted to be remembered, declaring, “When I die they’ll say, ‘he couldn’t play shit, but he sure made it sound good!’” His first full length recording in 1971 was also the first album on now world-famous Alligator Records, Hound Dog Taylor & The House Rockers. In fact, label president Bruce Iglauer founded Alligator for the sole purpose of recording and releasing that album. Now, Colemine Records–working in partnership with Alligator Records–will release GA-20’s new full-length album, Try It...You Might Like It! GA-20 Does Hound Dog Taylor, featuring 10 songs written or performed by the Chicago blues legend. From the fiery first single and album opener “She’s Gone” to the blistering “Sadie” to the all-time Hound Dog classic “Give Me Back My Wig”, GA-20 deliver one electrifying track after another. As a follow-up to their Billboard-chart-topping Lonely Soul LP, a full worldwide tour will accompany this release, surely to galvanize the blues scene around GA-20!

Gyasi does something unexpected with ""Songs From The Holler""-he trades his signature high-voltage rock n' roll for the humble sounds of home. Born and raised in the rugged hills of a West Virginia holler, Gyasi returns to his roots and the solitary mountains of his youth, celebrating the music he first encountered as a child by recording a vibrant folk-blues album. Nearly captured in the wild with just two microphones, the songs on ""Songs From The Holler"" feel authentic and heartfelt. The album blends familiar classics and forgotten gems with four original tracks, highlighting Gyasi's tasteful guitar work and his genuine connection to this music. ""Songs From The Holler"" is an artful oddity whose sounds will carry you back to a world long past.

JAMES HARMAN BAND - Bootlegged in San Luis Obispo Vet's Hall, 2000The much rumoured 'James Harman Band' performance at the SLO Vet's Hall in January 2000 finally sees the light of the day! James Harman - the revered Maestro of Californian Harmonica blues - was at his peak back then. Young Nathan James - an extraordinary guitar player, rich in finesse and feeling - was only 21, albeit his magic touch disguised his age. The rhythm section is tight, immaculate, delivering a powerful and agile beat throughout. This is superior stuff and in great sound quality too. 9 tracks, 70 minutes of timeless music from a leader and a band that made history in the blues field.

Few voices in Contemporary Blues carry the lived weight and luminous authenticity of Janiva Magness. Born in Detroit and forged by a childhood marked by hardship and loss, she found in music not just a calling but a lifeline. Over a career spanning more than three decades and 18 releases, she has built one of the most honest and enduring bodies of work in American roots music. Along the way she has earned multiple Blues Music Awards, a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album, and the B.B. King Entertainer of the Year award, one of the genre's highest individual honors. Live performance has always been the truest expression of who she is. Fans have long clamored for a recording that could capture what they experience in the room with her: that electricity, that give-and-take, the sense that something unrepeatable is unfolding in real time. For years, Magness held off, knowing the terms had to be right. That moment arrived with 'Truth in the Room - The Clearmountain Sessions'. Recorded at Berkeley Street Studios before an intimate gathering of 150 invited guests and engineered and mixed by the legendary Bob Clearmountain, the album captures not just the performance but the atmosphere, the warmth, and the irreplaceable chemistry between a great artist, her band, and an audience that is fully, joyfully present.

JP Soars has spent over two decades building his reputation the way roots music was meant to be built: onstage, night after night, delivering a high-energy, blend of roots music that moves effortlessly through blues, rock & roll, Latin grooves, country, and gypsy jazz-never confined by genre, always guided by feel.That musical vision comes fully into focus on Gypsy Blue Revue, a collaborative project with acclaimed violinist, vocalist, and songwriter Anne Harris (Keb Mo & Taj Mahal, Otis Taylor, Cracker): a blend of songwriting styles and instrumental chops, set to a backdrop of Southern soul, roadhouse blues and rock, and eclectic folk music, recorded "all in one room, playing together. We just wanted it to sound like we do live."
