"Landreth's 30th birthday dedication to fan Adam before 'Hell At Home' (another track that got the unplugged treatment on 'Recorded Live in Lafayette'), emphasised the fact that the 229 was not completely full of silver sliders tonight, as Sonny's strong Zydeco influences came to the fore, proving there was indeed still rythym down by the bayou. "Now we've got that one out of our system - here's one for all the ladies in the house!" enticed Landreth. Sonny's right-hand technique, which involves tapping, slapping, and picking strings, using all of the fingers on his right hand was never more evident than on these two final instrumentals in his set, namely 'Brave New Girl' which morphed into 'Native Stepson'." Today read AJ's complete Sonny Landreth/Soul Immigrants gig review from Sunday night at London's 229 The Venue here, plus check out our Photo Gallery here and today's Video Of The Day.

For almost three decades J.B.O. (Track Of The Day) have withstood genre trends like Grunge, Pagan Metal, Metalcore, Nu Metal or whatever else they are called. Nowadays they are as successful as ever – even in places which many wouldn’t expect. J.B.O. work perfectly at big Metal festivals as well as in local scene bars, beer tents or at a Spring-Break-Event - their comedy Metal is still absolutely unique. Their recently released album 'Deutsche Vita', J.B.O.'s 12th studio record, is a collection of funny cover versions of German Pop songs which influenced the band during their career. It is their unusual and unique mixture of Hard Rock music and a weird-ingenious-humour, that has brought J.B.O. cult status. Consisting of Vito C. (vocals/guitar), Hannes "G.Laber" Holzmann (vocals/guitar), Ralph Bach (bass) and Wolfram Kellner (drums), J.B.O. are currently on tour in Germany with support from Rammelhof.

Brighton Folk-Punk band Levellers have recently released the video for their newly reworked and acoustic version of ‘Liberty Song’, taken from their new album, 'We The Collective', which is out now via On The Fiddle Recordings and is today's Track Of The Day. The new album, which coincides with the band’s 30th anniversary, was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and produced by John Leckie. It features a string section and new acoustic arrangements for eight of their previous singles including ‘Hope Street’ and ‘One Way’. The band will also head out on a full Acoustic Tour starting in June where they will be playing their new arrangements with guest musicians.

The buzz has been spreading about City Of Thieves ever since they made their initial debut in 2015. No frills, no messin', no gimmicks – just Heavy Rock in its purest form that will send you straight to the front of the stage with no nonsense sledgehammer riffs, hooks and melodies. Working with acclaimed artist/producer Toby Jepson (Little Angels, The Answer, The Virginmarys), band members Jamie Lailey - vocals/bass, Ben Austwick - guitar and Will Richards - drums, knew from the outset that City Of Thieves wanted to take Rock by the scruff of its neck and give it a good shake. With Jepson at the helm, Mike Fraser on mixing duties and mastering by Simon Francis (Kodaline, Kaiser Chiefs, Primal Scream), the group’s long anticipated debut album, entitled ‘Beast Reality’, due to be released on Friday 12th October, is in the best of hands. Indeed their debut single 'Buzzed Up City' is today's Video Of The Day and the guys will be playing London's The Big Red on Wednesday 30th May. We'll see you down the front!

The career of acclaimed Blues-Soul artist Dana Fuchs began in her late teens when she ignited Manhattan’s Blues-Rock circuit with her burnt-honey vocal and bruisingly honest songwriting. With a voice acclaimed by Classic Rock magazine in a Blues album of the month review as “juke-joint dirty and illicit, evoking Joplin, Jagger and a fag butt bobbing in a glass of bourbon”, a trio of soul-drenched studio releases signalled her talent, while in between records she starred in the Broadway musical ‘Love, Janis’ and made her big screen debut as Sexy Sadie in the film ’Across The Universe’, which was centred on songs by The Beatles. Dana now returns with ‘Love Lives On’, her fourth album out on Friday 18th May on Get Along Records/Membran and one on which she fights back from personal tragedy with a sound inspired by the siren call of American Soul. ‘Love Lives On’ features a crack-squad studio band that includes original Hi Records organist Charles Hodges, Stax titan Steve Potts on drums, keys ace Glenn Patscha and bassist Jack Daley.

Today's Blues On The Radio Track Of The Day is an hour filled with music from Mud Morganfield, The Cinelli Brothers, Mike Zito, The Achievers, King King (pictured), Matyas Pribojszki, Big Daddy Wilson, Eric Corne, Beth Hart, Paul Cox & The Proof, Richard Koechli & Blues Roots Company, Poplar Jake and Benjamin Bassford.

"How are you folks doing?" Sonny politely enquired as his three-piece band were warmly welcomed on to the 229 stage by a packed and expectant crowd. Indeed, anyone expecting Slydeco unplugged were totally blown away with the hard rockin' riff of opening instrumental 'Z Rider' - Landreth immediately caressing his guitar in a way which proceeded to mesmerise us all for the rest of his set. "Well that was fun" added Landreth, before they tore into the classic 'Walking The Blues', not only an opportunity for Robert Johnson to meet ZZ Top, but also for a cool Blues vocal by Sonny plus some great stick work from his flat capped drummer. Landreth's amazing guitar solo on the slow Blues of another classic - Elmore James' 'It Hurts Me Too' - had everyone scratching their heads on how on earth did bass guitarist Dave Ramsden manage to keep up with that, before, in contrast, Sonny then promised to "Whip us up into a frenzy" with 'Milky Way Home' - another rockin' instrumental that smacked of Satriani."

Dubbed as “the UK’s next brightest Metal hope” (Metal Hammer) and Planet Rock’s 'Best New Band 2017' award winners, The Raven Age recently announced the addition of former Wild Lies vocalist Matt James who takes over frontman duties as the band continue their path to global stardom. The first taste of the new line up, completed by guitarists George Harris and Tony Maue, bassist Matt Cox and drummer Jai Patel, comes with the brand new single ‘Surrogate’ (today's Video Of The Day). To kick things off, the band have joined Savage Messiah on their UK tour, which continues this week in Newcastle and Birmingham before concluding at London's The Underworld this Thursday 19th April.

Glenn Hughes, the former bassist and singer of Deep Purple, known to millions as the ‘Voice of Rock’, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and the current front man for rock super group Black Country Communion, will be performing Deep Purple only material with his “Glenn Hughes Performs Classic Deep Purple Live ”for the first time ever in Ireland this September ahead of his nationwide UK tour in October. The two dates in Belfast (29th - £30) and Dublin (30th - £35) promise to be a dynamic, turn-back-the-clocks, two-hour live extravaganza homage to his tenure in MK 3 and MK 4 incarnations of Deep Purple - one of music history’s most seminal and influential Rock and Roll groups.

Virtuoso slide guitarist Sonny Landreth played a rare concert at London's 229 The Venue in Great Portland Street last night, hot on the heels of his 'Recorded Live in Lafayette', a 16-song album and his first live album in over 12 years. Landreth has collaborated with the very top names in guitar over the years: Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Eric Johnson, Derek Trucks – the list goes on. The noted slideman cut his musical teeth in The Red Hot Louisiana Band of zydeco king Clifton Chenier, and Landreth has since recorded and toured with artists ranging from John Mayall to John Hiatt. With great support from The Soul Immigrants and with a review and photo gallery to come - check out today's Video Of The Day.
