One of the most exciting Blues and Soul record releases for 2025 is, undoubtedly, the new album of the American Saxophone Maestro and singer-songwriter Terry Hanck, called Grease To Gravy, where this 80-years-old extraordinary artist pours his heart and soul in a record where Blues, R&B, Rock, Jazz, Soul and even Dub are linked all together by the artistry and the voice of an inspired artist as Hanck proves to be. You can find here below the link to the published review of Grease To Gravy on our website:

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:

He is and has been the King Midas of contemporary Blues/Rock worldwide for over three decades! The American singer-songwriter and Guitar Supremo Kenny Wayne Shepherd returns to the United Kingdom with his Band on his World Tour, with a very Special Guest joining him on stage, the one and only Blues living legend that is Bobby Rush. Bluebird Reviews had the privilege to be invited at Shepherd’s London show, where the American artist showed once again and clearly, in the sold-out Shepherd’s Bush Empire, why he is one of the most respected, talented and loved Blues-Rock artists in the world today. You can find the full review of the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band show in London 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. One of the most respected and talented American singer-songwriters, Hal Cannon , pays a wonderful homage to the music of the Wild West era through his brand new solo album called Cowboy Sutra, where the Utah based artist chisels an authentic sonic masterpiece that exudes so much passion and love for an important time capsule in American Music history. You can find the full review of Cowboy Sutra now published on our website at the link here below:

In the last 50 years, there have been not many music artists able to play Dub in a revolutionary, inventive and original style in United Kingdom and the world better than the British Bass Guitar Maestro Jah Wobble.

There are very few true rising Blues stars shining in the firmament of the genre worldwide and one of those, is most definitely the American Guitar Maestro and singer-songwriter D.K. Harrell .

Charming, disarmingly honest, beautiful and incredibly talent; we are talking, of course, about the Icelandic singer-songwriter Emiliana Torrini , who is going through one of the highest moments of her remarkable career as a music artist, thanks to the success of her latest album Miss Flower and the extraordinary docufilm just released in cinemas across Europe called The Extraordinary Miss Flower, inspired by Torrini's record and the fascinating life that the real Miss Flower, Geraldine, lived behind life's curtains. Bluebird Reviews had the privilege to talk with Emiliana Torrini about her new album and the wonderful docufilm just released in an exclusive interview now published at the link here below:

There is no doubt at all that, when any respectable Rock music lover is talking about Guitar Heroes, the name of Guitar Supremo Gary Moore, sooner or later, will jump out in conversation.
A master not only as a guitarist but also as a vocalist and a live performer, Moore is worldwidely loved and respected by generations of Rock, Hard/Rock, Blues/Rock and Metal fans and a performance that can sum up all his many talents can be heard on a newly released 2008 live performance called Live From Baloise Session, a record where all the class, the swagger and the brilliancy exuded at its highest. Our website had the privilege to review this stunning live album and the link to the review can be found at the link here below:

What is music without putting all your heart and soul into it? This must have been pretty much the train of thought that the highly talented Swedish Harp Prodigy Stina Hellberg Agback went through, when creating an amazing Jazz Free-Form quintet called Shinken Shobu, where, together with some of the most skilled musicians and masters of improvisation like Agback herself, released their debut album called Sou Makuri, a marvelous creative journey entirely written and led by that Harp Champion that is Stina Hellberg Agback. You can find the full review of this truly enthralling record at the link here below:
