"Through out the set Lynne's vocals transcended time and space, soaring to the highest reaches of the vocal register with complete control, then dipping down low and gravely with a vibrant wailing intensity only really heard from the true legendary greats of Soul music. There is definitely magic in them vocal chords! A very special evening of high quality songs and an unforgettable musical experience. Overall a very impressive body of work from Jackaman. Lynne is definitely one the country's finest Soul/Rock singers and deserves all the success she can get." That was part of our take on Lynne Jackaman (Track Of The Day and pictured) at Putney's Half Moon last March and Lynne returns to the Smoke tonight at Notting Hill Arts Club.

"Ah, and now, the Les Paul is back on and the time has come for what has quickly become the absolute highlight of the Kris Barras Band set - it’s the sublime 'Watching Over Me'. As soon as the sombre piano intro starts the place erupts into cheers. Anybody would think from this reaction that’s it’s a cherished oldie but no - it’s the LAST track on Kris’s LAST album from LAST year! Kris tells the story of how, inspired by his dad, he started playing guitars at nine. We lost him, he says, a short time ago to cancer and this is for him. The guitar intro starts and there’s no hiding the inspiration for THIS one - the late, great and lamented Gary Moore. You can tell the proper Kris fans love this one too, the phones are out and if they could the lighters would be out too. They’re right, it’s the song of the night and it’s the solo of the night. You can imagine Kris’s dad having a beer (or possibly a Guinness?) with Gary upstairs and saying “that’s my boy down there!” Even grumpy old Gary would give a grin."

Ariel Posen of Brothers Landreth fame, released his much anticipated debut album, 'How Long' last month and is currently undertaking his first major headline tour of the UK this month including London's Borderline last Sunday night. 'How Long' showcases not only the Canadian's chops as an instrumentalist, but also his talents as a diverse songwriter, too. The record casts a wide net, moving from rootsy Blues to R&B to Melodic Rock & Roll. A co-writer and producer for artists of all genres, Posen shows the full range of his talents on all 10 tracks, however, 'How Long' is not a guitar record, although there's certainly plenty of guitar to be heard. Instead, it's a song record, filled with hooks, autobiographical lyrics and Posen's compelling voice. With a review to come, check out our Photo Gallery from the gig here including support Katy Hurt (pictured).

On the menu on today's Blues On The Radio Track Of The Day we have prime tracks from The Lachy Doley Group, Katie Bradley & Ritchie Lane, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, ThirtyTwo20, The Kris Barras Band, Gary Clark Jr, Broken Levee, The Beki Brindle Band, The Hitman Blues Band and, of course, ahead of their sold out show tonight at The Tuesday Night Music Club, The Comrades Club, Coulsdon CR5 2N, there's something new and tasty from Mike Ross and a couple of delicacies from Ariel Posen (pictured).

Grammy Award winning Jazz Rock band Steely Dan stop off at Wembley Arena tonight as part of their UK arena tour. With over 40 million albums sold worldwide, Donald Fagen will be joined by special guest Steve Winwood. Their critically acclaimed album ‘Can’t Buy A Thrill’ was named 145 in Rolling Stone’s 500 albums of all time, ‘Aja’ became a platinum selling album and ‘Two Against Nature’ saw Steely Dan win an impressive total of four Grammy’s including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. We last saw composer, legendary vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, multiple Grammy winner, BMI icon and Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductee Winwood at British Summer Time in Hyde Park last July (Track Of The Day and pictured), and he has sold over 50 million records in the course of his five-decade career.

"Finally, full Hard Rockin' order was restored with their glorious closing headbanger and second single off of 'AIT' 'Not Your Enemy' - with its riff to die for and some final stack climbing. Demanding that we "Give It Up For The Support Bands", they left the stage to rapturous applause before taking the obligatory photo of the jubilant crowd. A set stuffed with recognisable riffs and singable lyrics - there was not a filler in sight. These guys never fail to deliver. All in all, not only a brilliant night of Rock from three young dynamic bands, but just as importantly, performed also to a young demographic who thankfully don't operate solely in the world called 'The Brits'. Sod Blue Oyster Cult - so pleased to witness tonight that Rock music is in such safe hands."

The last time we saw Ariel Posen was with The Brothers Landreth at The Borderline way back in September 2015 (pictured and Track Of The Day). Posen released his much anticipated debut album, 'How Long' last month and is currently undertaking his first major headline tour of the UK this month including returning to London's Borderline tonight. 'How Long' showcases not only the Canadian's chops as an instrumentalist, but also his talents as a diverse songwriter, too. The record casts a wide net, moving from rootsy Blues to R&B to Melodic Rock & Roll. A co-writer and producer for artists of all genres, Posen shows the full range of his talents on all 10 tracks, however, 'How Long' is not a guitar record, although there's certainly plenty of guitar to be heard. Instead, it's a song record, filled with hooks, autobiographical lyrics and Posen's compelling voice.
