- Lynne Jackaman Notting Hill Review 4/3/19
"One song - ‘Beautiful Loss’ - is a lovely tribute to lost friend Adam Green and is performed with just Lynne and Jamie - as are several songs tonight - but the majority of the set is full on and Funky with brass section Johnny O’Neill & Nick Etwell parping away giving extra welly away at the back. If you’re curious to hear these songs, Lynne has released an ‘Unplugged’ set performed at London’s Palladium last year on a support slot with just Jamie on acoustic. Sadly it’s poorly recorded - it sounds like an audience bootleg - but at least it gives an outing to some of the songs while the album is in gestation. But I have the feeling that 2019 is the year that Lynne will at last come back with a huge bang with an album that will get her a LOT of attention."

- Reese Wynans Sweet Release 4/3/19
Produced by Joe Bonamassa, Stevie Ray Vaughan bandmate Reese Wynans released his first solo album 'Reese Wynans and Friends - Sweet Release' (Track Of The Day) last Friday on Provogue Records. Since the late 60's, Reese has played with everybody from Duane Allman to Boz Scaggs to Jerry Jeff Walker to Carole King, before his famous stint in Stevie Ray Vaughan's band Double Trouble. Since 2015 he has been an integral part of Joe Bonamassa's band, playing to worldwide audiences. On 'Sweet Release', Reese is joined by his Double Trouble bandmates Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton, guitarists Joe Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Doyle Bramhall II and many others, to pay tribute to songs from his recording career with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bluesmen like Otis Rush and Tampa Red. Highly recommended for fans of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble!

- Let Me Be The One 3/3/19
"Following on, and now playing to a full house are Myke Gray. For those unfamiliar, the namesake guitarist was an integral part of nineties rockers Skin. His current incarnation is a vehicle for the Joe Satriani lookalike to play like a Joe Satriani soundalike. For this festival however, the instrumentalist has had the inspired idea of recruiting Kim Jennett, from Voodoo Blood, for vocals. What a powerful little powerhouse she is. With only a week or so to learn a back catalogue of Skin tracks, she - and the band - really kicked it in. Classics like 'Take Me Down To The River', 'Look But Don't Touch' and 'Shine Your Light' were belted out with the force of a West Wales weather forecast. Great band, great set, easily the find of the day." That was our take on Myke Gray at Hard Rock Hell last November and today's Video Of The Day is the second single of Kim Jennett's upcoming album - written and produced by Myke.

- Marsden Scores At Chelsea 2/3/19
In the early 70's Bernie Marsden was the original guitarist for UFO before becoming a member of Paice, Ashton & Lord in 1977 with members of Deep Purple. After PAL split up, Bernie joined David Coverdale in the newly formed Whitesnake, helping to establish the band as one of the most successful live Rock bands in Europe and Japan. Marsden co-wrote many of the band's hits including 'Fool For Your Loving', 'Here I Go Again' and 'Lovehunter" before leaving Whitesnake to form Alaska. Bernie Marsden was also a member of Cozy Powell's Hammer, Babe Ruth & Wild Turkey. Over the years, Bernie has worked with Joe Bonamassa, Jack Bruce, Walter Trout, Ian Gillan and many more. Anyway, we were lucky enough to catch 2018 WRC Best Blues Rock performance award winner Bernie at London's Under The Bridge last night, and with more photos to come, check out today's Video Of The Day.
- Ariel Posen Borderline Review 2/3/19
"Disappearing briefly before returning for an encore, Posen dedicates his final song to his wife who, when talking him into moving to Ireland, opened him up to a whole new range of music. Including John Martyn who has had a huge influence on his music and songwriting. So how better to end a great night of music than with his cover of 'Angeline'. With an Irish lilt and slow almost ethereal slide guitar, it was a ten minute master class of tone." Read the whole of Mother's Ariel Posen (pictured and Track Of The Day) + Katy Hurt, Borderline, London, gig review from last Sunday here, plus check out Bruce Biege's final Photo Gallery here.

- Bernie Under The Bridge Tonight 1/3/19
"We were blessed to be in the presence of the great man at the iconic 100 Club during London Blues Week. With ex-Whitesnake mucker Neil Murray on bass and a guest appearance by Danny Bryant - it was a memorable journey covering all of Marsden's legendary music from Whitesnake's 'Here I Go Again' to 'Shine's 'Latino' to Bobby Bland's 'Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City'."
