- The Shape Of Blues To Come 10/6/18
The Apocalypse Blues Revue is back with their sophomore album, 'The Shape Of Blues To Come' which is due for release on Friday 20th July on Provogue Records. 'The Shape Of Blues To Come' is that rarest of beasts, a second album that is not just better than their first, but one that defines what the band is at this point, and one that points directly to where the band is going. This is not just a side project, this is a band that exists separately from guitarist Tom Rombola and drummer Shannon Larkin's huge success with Godsmack, this is a band that will be making music for years to come. Anyway, watch and listen to 'Hell To Pay' - the new song from 'A Shape Of Blues To Come' which is today's Track Of The Day.
- When I'm Lost In Music I Am Found 10/6/18
"6 Years’ is probably the most commercial song on here and has a nice rhythm to it, and whilst not destined for massive radio airplay, it’s easily the most memorable track and the one that could see Joe reaching a wider audience. The meandering instrumental ‘Science Museum’ follows and is pleasant enough followed by both ‘Speed Of Darkness’ and ‘The Beginning Is Near’ which keep the momentum going, the first sounds intentionally messy but interesting none the less, the latter with its slightly fuzzy guitar and is yet another track from Joe with a multitude of layers, which again captures the grey matter’s attention." Read Phil C's complete take on Joe Head's 'When I'm Lost In Music I Am Found' here.
- Stone Free Countdown - Richie Kotzen 10/6/18
"Finishing of the set, Kotzen is back on the Telecaster for a funky finale with Wilson slapping the bass like a new born baby on 'Help Me'. Even in his weakened state, Kotzen is back for an encore on keyboards with 'This Is Life' before switching to the trustee Strat for a final flurry of what we came to see – six string perfection. With a final wave to the audience he virtually falls off stage looking like an extra from The Walking Dead." That was part of our take on Richie Kotzen's Islington Assembly Hall gig last September and as part of our Stone Free Festival countdown, Richie - who is headlining the Indigo at The O2 at 4pm on Sunday 17th June - is today's Video Of The Day.
- Daddy's Little Girl 9/6/18
Our friends at Deep Blue Sea have just completed mixing a new live album - which was also filmed - so there's going to be quite a few new clips flying around and consequently a nice new shiny YouTube channel for them. Anyway, don't only check out today's Video Of The Day of 'Daddy's Girl' but also visit their new site - and like their videos and follow them? You know it makes sense!
- Stone Free Countdown - Jared James Nichols 9/6/18
"As expected, JJN's beast of a trio, duly delivered more hair, energy in abundance and white teeth, but more importantly, 70's Power Rock at its ultimate best. JJN mixed it up - airing amongst others the first three tracks from 'Black Magic' namely his single 'Last Chance', the Hendrix influenced riff of 'The Gun' and 'Don't Be Scared', before he teased "London don't be shy", an open invite for us all to head bang to his classic 'Baby Can You Feel It?', plus he nailed his 70's influences to the mast as he signed off a storming set with a cover of Mountain's 'Mississippi Queen'. Now this was real Rock 'n' Roll - and not only a great voice but also validation of the equation that a Les Paul = Blues Power." That was part of our Jared James Nichols gig review at Islington Assembly Hall in February this year and as part of our Stone Free Festival countdown, JJN, who is appearing at Indigo at The O2 at 12.50pm on Sunday 17th June, is today's Track Of The Day.

- Stone Free Countdown - Joanne Shaw Taylor 8/6/18
"There are few finer sights than an unleashed JST with a Les Paul. Easy tiger, remember where you are. The Les Paul remains too for 'Jump That Train' from the 'Diamonds In The Dirt' album, whose, title track follows thereafter. With a proper heavy Blues riff it has a funky lilt to it which Italian icon Casanova provides his own lesson in love. The excellent sound quality again shows itself as the Gibson provides a beautiful melodic chime to counter the almost soft husky vocals. And with the sultry 'Tried Tested And True' to follow we really are getting the full (royal) family of tracks. All interspersed with regular sips of honey and lemon to keep the voice going. It sounds fine to me." That was part of our take on Joanne Shaw Taylor's Royal Festival Hall gig last November and as part of our Stone Free Festival countdown, Joanne - who is on stage at 5.45 at the O2 Arena on Sunday 17th June - is today's Video Of The Day.
