When grunge was mainstream, a blonde teenager from Louisiana upended the music industry by charting top 10 singles on the rock charts with his blues rock debut album Ledbetter Heights.Kenny Wayne Shepherd released Ledbetter Heights 30 years ago and he has been redefining the genre ever since. “This is the album that put me on the map," Shepherd says. "My goal has always been to make music that is unfiltered and straight from the heart and Ledbetter Heights is an album I’m very proud of."Thirty years later Shepherd is releasing a re-recorded version of that debut album, Ledbetter Heights: The 30th Anniversary Sessions.With the maturity of a seasoned musician and producer, as well as vocals featuring his longtime singer Noah Hunt, the 30th Anniversary Sessions are sure to please both old and new fans. "Revisiting this album put me back in touch with the wonder and excitement of those days. I didn’t know what lay ahead at the time,” he reflects, “But I’m very grateful for what came from it.

Kevin Burt has been plying his trade as an electrifying bluesman for more than a quarter of a century, in the process "dispelling the myth that true blues has no roots in Iowa." Burt delivers soul blues with conviction; he sings and plays guitar and harmonica. This is real front-porch soul. His voice draws you in, rich and smooth and emotive. Master musician Mike Zito produced the project which was recorded at Marz Studios in Nederland, Texas. Burt wrote nine of the album's ten tracks; it makes perfect sense that the other track is Bill Withers' "Better Off Dead;" Burt's voice hews closely to the late singers'.

The Leopard Hounds band presents a unique change of pace, playing their jumped-up indie blues that ties them into their NEW ORLEANS ""Bywater"" neighborhood. This four piece group, with flashy guitar solos and pulsating drum patterns gets the locals dancing and their mojos working. Sometimes, when the hour is late and the booze is going freely to your head the HOUNDS sound like the ghosts of old bluesmen arguing with the devil over the last bottle of whiskey.

Recording This Album-was a sheer joy as all the musicians here go back decades to different cross-configurations and bands. I recorded the 2023 CD ""True Believer"" prior with Watson, Welsh, Roy and Wes. I'd recorded two Golden State Lone Star records in 2013 and 2015 that included Wes, Anson and Charlie. The Anson/ Junior combo made perfect sense as a continuation of a unique pairing of two guitars, as did Baty/ Funderburgh combo. Kid Andersen's Greaseland Studio was the site of all of these recordings since 2008 with spectacular results. I hope you enjoy it.

AMERICAN BLUES POP ROCK ROOTS MUSICIAN " "I was so happy to hear the latest new music from Matthew Curry. I've always really admired Mathew's music, ever since he, and his band began playing shows with us, maybe 6, or 7 years ago. The audience loved his well crafted songs, soaring guitar solos, and soulful singing. We were part of that audience. He is the real deal. His most recent album, 'Open Road', is further proof that Matthew Is continuing to hone his formidable chops. Mathew rips it up on the title track, which reminds me of a Delaney & Bonnie style Eric Clapton tune, and I say this with admiration, since that is one of my favorite Clapton eras. 'On My Way', is just great rointuneck 'n roll, in sort of a Skynyrd vein. 'I Think Of You', a beautiful ballad of lost love, and hope. Then there is some extreme angst in 'Workin' It Out'. A really interesting production, and once again, some killer guitar playing, and amazing vocals. Every song on the album has something special that sets it apart, and makes this a complete package. I've listened to all the songs several times, and I continue to hear things I hadn't noticed before. There's so much great music on this recording. I can't recommend it enough. Check it out, I know you'll feel the same!"- Pat Simmons (The Doobie Brothers)

Mick has been turning out blues records for several years and with each one he's learned a little more about what to do and what not to do. During that time his life has also presented him with many challenges - and opportunities. Drawing on that, Mick has come up with this one, flavored with personal tragedy and triumph, with dashes of humor and pain - that's kind of what Mick does! The album title, Blue To The Bone, is what Blues Blast Magazine said about him. For this album Mick assembled his favorite team of musicians, beginning with producer and guitarist Jeff Jensen, teamed with a solid group of Memphis based musicians: James Cunningham, Bill Ruffino, Rick Steff, Tom Lonardo, Carl Casperson, Eric Hughes, Marc Franklin and Kirk Smothers. Joining them was harmonica ace Bob Corritore on a very special song. The album opens with "This Getting Old is Getting Old," Mick's song about the misery of aging, followed by "Bourbon and You," which deals with missing a lover. Mick's love of blues poured itself into the next song, "All it Takes is Blues.' "For Better or For Worse" is Mick's song that follows up on his most played song (literally millions of streams) "Baby's Got Another Lover," which Mick wrote about his wife's addiction to alcohol, this new song covers the final few months of her life - it isn't intended to make you smile. With "Something to Look Forward To" Mick returns to the subject of aging and continues with that theme in the song "I'd Like To Be Recycled. The humor of this tune is followed by the humor of Mick's versions of an obscure country song "If My Nose Was Running Money" Mick re-imagined his previously released song "Mr. Right" as well as the classic Merle Travis song "16 Tons." The album closes with Mick's "Please Don't Write That Song," which kind of speaks for itself!

The BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND Leans into R&BFervor on the Brassy Keep on Moving: AlbumFeatures a Horn Section with David Sanbornand Prioritizes the Art of the GrooveHear the 1969 Record in Audiophile Soundfor the First Time on Disc: Strictly Limited to2,000 Numbered Copies, Mobile Fidelity'sHybrid SACD Plays with Dynamic Livelinessand Revealing ClarityAnd then there was one. Paul Butterfield stands as the lastremaining original member of his namesake collective on Keep onMoving. It's hard to imagine it being any other way. Picking up whereit left off on In My Own Dream, the BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND whollyembraces R&B fervor - and indirectly dares any horn-accompaniedensemble of the era to match it's energy, pulse, tightness, and flair.While going all-in on soul with a crack support cast on this 1969 set,Butterfield would pull the plug on the band just two years later. Thegroup's pursuit of funky, bluesy paths carved by rolling bass lines,stacked horns, buttoned-up rhythms, and harmonica blasts almostmakes that decision unthinkable.Sourced from the original analog master tapes and housed in amini-LP-style gatefold package, Mobile Fidelity's hybrid SACDmakes Keep on Moving available in audiophile quality. Open andbalanced, it underlines the dynamic liveliness and organic feel ofJerry Ragovoy's production. As well as the palpable chemistry ofthe sessions recorded at his then-brand-new Hit Factory studioin New York. The prominence and positioning of the horn section- comprised of a young David Sanborn, Gene Dinwiddie, TrevorLawrence, Keith Johnson, and Steve Madaio - particularly benefitfrom the newfound transparency and presence. This reissue's clarityalso exposes key details, accents, and textures germane to themusic. Keep on moving, indeed. UPC: 821797230964Label: Mobile FidelityRelease Date: 6.26.26Format: CD
