...como Nick Waterhouse con su retrosoul con sensaciones vigorosas de R&B, soul, jazz, rockabilly y rock and roll. “Not my circus, not my monkey” es el nombre del nuevo disco de The Hitman Blues Band, agrupación liderada por el guitarrista Russell “Hitman” Alexander, cuya sección de vientos le da al blues un aire al sonido clásico del sello Stax de Memphis. O el tremendo guitarrista Scott O'neal y su banda desde el Norte de Arizona. Harvey Brindell es otro guitarrista y organista que sobresale en su instrumental Short Flight donde muestra una buena cantidad de recursos. I'm Ready, un clásico de Willie Dixon y Muddy Waters, es la primera versión que el Reverend Shawn Amos publica de su disco de versiones de blues, que saldrá en mayo y se llamará The Cause of It All. Riley Downing, guitarrista de la banda de country-soul de New Orleans, The Deslondes, lanza su primer álbum en solitario con el título de Start it Over y un sonido potente. Y vuelve Robert Finley con su tercer disco después de un hiato de muchos años por problemas de salud, esta vez producido por Dan Auerbach. Acabamos con el legendario guitarrista británico Mick Clarke y su disco Relentless Boogie Pt.1, publicado en su sello Rockfold Records. ¡Qué buena sesión de la madre de todas las músicas!⦁ Trevor B.
