Often albums containing previously unreleased material, for any artist, may result in a mixed bag kind of record, leaving some fans slightly disgruntled or disappointed.
Fortunately, that is not the case at all for the Finnish Blues and Blues-Rock collective called Micke Björklöf & Blue Strip, who has released a highly enthralling album of never heard before songs called, aptly, Outtakes, a record that brilliantly encompasses the artistic growth of this extraordinary Scandinavian quintet. You can find the full review of Outtakes on our Website at the link here below:

It's not always true that music artists start to slow down a little when they reach a certain age range. The perfect demonstration of what aforementioned stated comes from one of the greatest American Blues-Rock artists of the last half a century, the Guitar Supremo and singer-songwriter Walter Trout who, at the respectable age of 74 nails one of the greatest albums of his career to date. Trout’s new album, due to be released on 5th September, is called Sign Of The Times and displays an artist at his highest as a songwriter, singer and guitar player. You can find the full review of Sign Of The Times on our website at the link here below:

There are very few artists, in the last century, that have been able to transform music and allow it to grow as much as the American composer Terry Riley has been able to. Considered rightly as one of the 3 fathers of Minimalism, together with Philip Glass and Steve Reich, Riley's music has and still is a perpetual font of inspiration for millions of artists around the world, so much so that, to celebrate Riley’s 90th birthday, Sony has decided to release a boxset called The Columbia Recordings, containing all 4 records that the American composer recorded with Columbia, including the memorable 1968's pivotal In C album.
You can find the link to the published review on our website of this extraordinary boxset here below:

Imagine 1 part of New York Contemporary Jazz, 1 part Andean folkloric music, 1 part Afro percussive Beat and a very tasty sonic cocktail will be served to you. The very tasty cocktail in question comes from a multi-ehnnic, exciting collective called Gabriel Alegría Afro-Peruvian Sextet, which celebrates the 20th anniversary of their music career through a new album called El Muki, a record that marries tradition with improvisation on a high level of musicianship, while fusing sonically the soundscape of different countries and cultures in an inspired manner. You can find the full review of El Muki on our website at the link here below:

Every respectable Blues music lover must have, at some point, heard of the late great American singer-songwriter and Grammy Awards winner Koko Taylor and her enormous artistic talent. This exceptional Blues Queen had a long-standing working relationship with the giant American record label Alligator Records since 1975 right through the artist's passing, back in 2009. The illustrious record label, to celebrate the memory of an artist universally recognised as one of the best Blues Queen of the last 50+ years, has now released a greatest hits of some of Koko Taylor's best recordings, grouped together in an album called Crown Jewels, a record that pays beautifully respect in full to an artist that has been the Blues voice of two generations. You can find the full review of this monumental album at the link here below:

It is so overwhelming to see that, in these days and age, there are still artists that preserve the history of their countries and their lands through the power of music.
