This week's Black On Blues Track Of The Day is another Blues women special including 55 Rose Street (featuring Heather Gillis), Dena Taylor, Bridget Kelly Band, Christi Anna Perez, Diana Rein, F & G Band Feat Sandra Taylor, Fiona Boyes, Tracy K and Lisa Mann.

"The venue lended itself perfectly to the interaction between the band and the punters - with the mighty Bishop delighting his army of fans by pointing to them and occasionally high-fiving! The recently released new single 'Not For Sale' with it's reminiscent opening 'Lizzy' riff - re-enforced the undoubted quality of the forthcoming 'WTFC' before they went for another classic from 'SS' - La Mano De Lucifer - Bishop's haunting guitar intro leading us down the garden path to more on stage horseplay complemented by compulsory head-banging! The title track 'WTFC' showcased the tightness of the band - highlighting the extraordinary bass and drums of the brothers Figueroa. If there is a frontman with better vocals or stage presence than Yeagley - then I have yet to see him - simply hypnotic - weaving and rocking his mic stand back and forth - cue his harmonica intro on 'The Necromancer'."

Larry Miller has a new CD officially released in September simply titled ‘Larry Miller’. The CD contains 12 tracks with a running time of 70 minutes. There are 9 tracks taken from Larry's last 5 studio albums and all the tracks have been remixed and mastered by Neil Sadler at No Machine Studios. Larry chose these tracks as being some of his favourites. There are also 3 excellent, previously unreleased tracks. As far as Larry's recovery is concerned, he started playing guitar again a few months ago and is improving every week but it is taking a lot longer than expected to relearn his guitar skills. Consequently Larry is looking at a return sometime in 2017 but as yet it is difficult to predict when.

And talking of Ramblin' Man - Bob & Jules threw a few RM bands into the mix on their show on Saturday night including Tax The Heat, The Answer, Black Stone Cherry and Dirty Thrills (pictured). Today's 2015 WRC Award winning Rock On The Ridge Track Of The Day also includes Motley Crue, Royal Blood, Blacktop Mojo, Monster Truck, The Trews, Winchester Rebels, Jack Blades, Silence Lost and Radio Moscow, Mississippi MacDonald1, The Brew, and loads more

"Well, it was a wet one. First year I had tickets for all four days, but only made three out of four. Thursday: rained (Jan says a torrential storm) from 11.30am until 3pm. Waded to Jazz Fest at 2pm - got there to hear one last song from Sonny Landreth, settled in for Gary Clark Jr. and the skies cleared. Tedeschi Trucks, with Jimmy Vaughn and Billy Gibbons joining, with horns and back up singers - counted over 12 people on stage - was a 2016 Jazz Fest highlight. Caught the last few songs of Elvis Costello, including 'Pump It Up', to end the day. All in all a wet but good day."

Albany Down will release their third studio album 'The Outer Reach' on Friday 10th June. The London-based outfit played both BluesRockFest and our Xmas Bash last year and are a contemporary Rock band with influences ranging from classic acts like Led Zeppelin and Thunder to modern bands such as The Black Keys and Clutch. The band features Paul Muir on vocals, 2015 WRC Award winning guitarist Paul Turley, drummer Donna Peters and bassist Billy Dedman. The album was recorded at Modern World Studios and features 11 original songs, and was recorded by award-winning producer Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers, INME, Super Furry Animals). The guys begin their UK tour on Friday 6th May.

Well we asked the other day for both new member applications plus contributions to our website and you duly responded! First up a Facebook posting from Lee Liptrott - banging the drum for two up and coming gigs for his his modern and classic Rock Covers band 'The Banned'.

AC/DC (Vid Of The Day) says it has been forced to reschedule the 10 final dates on the U.S. leg of its 'Rock or Bust' World Tour, because lead singer Brian Johnson has been advised by doctors to stop touring immediately. The postponements were announced in a statement that said Johnson risked “total hearing loss” if he didn’t take a break. It did not give further details. The shows “likely will be made up later in the year, likely with a guest vocalist,” the statement said. With the WRC due to see them at the Olympic Park, London on Saturday 4th June - it brings back bad memories of last year's Foo Fighters cancellation as a result of Dave Grohl's broken leg. Doh!

Canadian roots-rockers The Bros. Landreth, recently nominated for International Artist Of The Year by Americana Music Association, continued their UK tour at The Garage, Highbury, last night, following the release of their 11 song debut album 'Let It Lie' on Slate Creek. The band's sound is anchored by the Bluesy wail of electric guitars, the swell of B3 organ, and the blood harmonies of brothers Joey and David Landreth. 'Let It Lie' has already won The Roots & Traditional Album Of The Year in 2015 and was recorded in a straw bale house in Southern Manitoba, during one of the coldest winters in recent memory! Working with producer Murray Pulver, The Bros. Landreth found warmth in the songs that Joey and David had written at home, brewing up an earthy, earnest sound that has since drawn comparisons to The Band, The Allman Brothers and Jackson Browne. Anyway, watch out over the coming days for more pics, a vid and a review of last night's gig.
