This week's Route 66 Track Of The Day has rockin' tracks from The Stones, Elton John and Juliette and the Licks. Host Rory Auskerry also celebrates birthdays for Supertramp and Reef, plus remembers Rock legend Jeff Healey (pictured).

"Despite teething problems with both the Borderline's sound and lighting - Sari and the guys soldiered on - with Sari resting her voice as Innes led the band into a classic cover of Freddie King's instrumental 'The Stumble' which cooly set us up for another Blues standard - T-Bone Walker's 'Call It Stormy Monday' - with Olinder's delightful opening keys, Innes' jaw-dropping fretwork and Sari's sultry vocal - this was the stand-out for me on the night and showed the class of this band - not forgetting the literal 'Engine Room' of Jefferies and O'Rourke. Two new tracks (for me) sandwiched 'AFON's, the mellow and groovy, 'Oklohoma', with its mean fusional outro jam with Anders' keys, another Sibun guitar solo and of course Schorr's excellent lyrical diction. The former 'Don't You Call My Name' and the latter 'American Boy' both kept the Blues Police and momentum in check." Read the whole of AJ's Sari Schorr & The Engine Room/Ash Wilson Borderline gig review here from last Monday plus check out some new pics from John Bull in our photo gallery here.

Monster Truck pulled up at The Electric Ballroom in Camden last night and virtually blew its roof off. The Canadian rockers finished off the UK leg of their European headlining tour with support from The Picturebooks. And we were lucky enough to meet the guys before the gig to present them with our 2016 WRC Award for Best Support Band - something which they will revert to when they support Deep Purple no less on their European tour beginning in May. Anyway with more pics and a review to come - check out today's Vid Of The Day.

We were lucky to enough to witness a cracking night of Blues Rock at the nicely refurbished Borderline in London on Monday night - now missing its infamous pillar in the middle of its main standing area. As expected, 2016 WRC Best Blues Rock performance winners Sari Schorr & The Engine Room rocked the new joint - although a major bonus of the evening was support band Ash Wilson - who took his recent debut album 'Broken Machine' to another level with his superb live set. With John Bull's pics and a review to come - check out our intial photo gallery here.

"Kicking off the night were fellow-Canadian southern rock band Monster Truck. who brought a very 70’s swagger to the stage along with a lot of noise to boot!! AJ told me they were good and he wasn't wrong!! These guys are coming off the release of their second album ‘Sittin' Heavy’ from the start of the year, and made it clear in their short set that they are one to keep an eye on." That was part of Wrinkly The Silver's review of Monster Truck supporting Nickelback at the O2 Arena last October - and not only are we off to see them again tonight at London's Electric Ballroom, but there is also another WRC contingent in Camden tonight to see Devilskin (Vid Of The Day) at The Underworld!

"And it was not only St. Patrick's Day, but it also just happened to be Scott Gorham's birthday - with not just one, but two choruses of 'Happy Birthday' afforded to the legend from the BSR faithful. 'Heavy Fire's 'Dancing With The Wrong Girl' saw more of those sweet jousting chords, whilst their Celtic riffs were complemented by Gaelic chants of "Tar a Ti" in the lyrics of 'Soldierstown' from 'TKI'. The slower 'Hey Judas' from 'AHBL' was followed by 'When The Night Comes In' - Jimmy Degrasso's pounding opening drumbeat accompanied by mass hand clapping, giving way to Gorham's guitar solo in this fast and furious track from 'HF'. 'Cold War Love' - also from 'HF' slowed things down nicely before literally 'All Hell Breaks Loose' with the classy title track from their very first album - with Gorham's guitar again in overdrive. And given the occasion - you could have been forgiven for listening out intently during every BSR intro for THAT Lizzy classic. Muted cries of 'Jailbreak' subsided until exactly half way through proceedings when, cue pyrotechnics, 'The Boys Are Back In Town' was ecstatically received - to be sure! Well it was St. Paddy's Day after all!" Read the whole of AJ's Black Star Riders/Backyard Babies/Gun Forum gig review from last Friday night here plus check out our photo gallery here.
