Rich Mahan Album: Hot Chicken Wisdom Label: Snortin' Horse Genre(s): Roots Rock Posted By: Joe Ross
Jul 17, 2019
Review
Nashville-based singer/songwriter/guitarist Rich Mahan’s sophomore release is an energetic, crowd-pleasing disc with kick-up-your-heels grit. He serves up eight originals and three new arrangements of favorites (“Loose Lucy,“ “To Love Somebody” and “Open Up Your Heart”) in his shows. Mahan’s country rock vibe has bar-hopping swagger as he sings about drinking, smoking and loving. While Mahan is an accomplished enough singer and picker, his real strength is wily and witty songwriting. “Tick on My Taint” has a hook that would be well received by a group of imbibed folks partying around the campfire. Original songs like “Daydrinking,” “I Smoke Pot,” “Hot Chicken & an Ice Cold 40,” “Stoned as a Roman Slave,” and “Coffee in the Morning” present plenty of
Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers Album: Pay The Price Label: Azuretone Genre(s): Contemporary BluesBlues Rock Posted By: Robert Silverstein

Review
There’s every reason to get the blues after hearing Pay The Price, the 2019 CD by Ray Fuller And The Bluesrockers. The 14-track, 48-minute CD features mostly original tracks from Ray, who adds in some spellbinding blues-rock riffs on his electric guitar. Also playing on the album are Tutu Jumper (drums), Doc Malone (harmonica) and Manny Manuel (bass). Tracks covered include classics by Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, John Lee Hooker, Hank Ballard, Louisiana Red and more. On the scene since starting his band way back in 1974, Ray Fuller is hardly a newcomer to the American blues-rock scene, having opened shows for legends like Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy and other legends. You can really hear the depth of experience on all the memorable, powerhouse tracks on Pay The Price. Blues-rock fans will gladly ‘pay the price’ and then enjoy the blues-rock sounds on
Si Kahn and the Looping Brothers Album: It's A Dog Life Label: Strictly Country Genre(s): Alternative Folk Posted By: Joe Ross
Jul 14, 2019
Review
For 40 years, Si Kahn has been writing, performing and recording folk and bluegrass music. I first became familiar with the prolific artist and activist in the late 1980s and his releases on the Flying Fish label. All 13 songs on this album are originals, with ten previously unrecorded. Kahn’s writing is clear, coherent and expressive. Songs like “Government on Horseback,” “It’s a Dog’s Life,” and “Rats in a Maze” are witty, sarcastic and insightful. His music encourages people to assemble, collaborate and make a difference. Recorded in Germany, the project pairs Si Kahn with the Looping Brothers (a takeoff on the Louvin Brothers), a European band with a 23 year history that includes Ulli Sieker (mandolin, fiddle), Matthias Malcher (guitar, banjo) and Ralf Strottman (bass). Guest Nicke Widen plays Dobro on two songs. Of

Mark Doyle Album: Watching the Detectives: Guitar Noir III Label: Free Will Genre(s): Surf Posted By: Robert Silverstein
Jul 13, 2019
Review
Guitar fans in the know have been hip to Upstate NY guitarist Mark Doyle, and specifically his rock-based Guitar Noir series of albums. Released in the summer of 2019 is Watching The Detectives: Guitar Noir III, the third installment of Mark’s acclaimed guitar-noir series. For this third Guitar Noir album, Mark mixes up a fine batch of cover songs and new originals and the results are sonically stunning. The 1960s and the early ‘70s was clearly a great time to be into movie and TV soundtrack music and Mark chooses a pair, including the themes from television shows “Get Smart” and “The Untouchables”, merged with an early track by Elvis Costello called “Watching The Detectives”, to start things off on the opening “Detectives Medley” track. Theme songs from “Kojak” and “Man From U.N.C.L.E.” rub shoulders
Incendio Album: Summoning The Muse Label: Self-Release Genre(s): Crossover Jazz Posted By: Robert Silverstein
Jul 13, 2019
Review
One of the finest Contemporary instrumental, flamenco-flavored, guitar-based instrumental groups on the planet, Incendio returns in 2019 with their latest CD masterpiece appropriately entitled Summoning The Muse. A number of guest artists add in a range of instruments—from horns and percussion to accordion, Hammond B3, strings and even ‘virtual’ orchestration. Looking for a way to make their new album different or perhaps to move the sound a step forward compared to their earlier albums, Incendio co-founder / guitarist / composer Jim Stubblefield explains, “With Summoning the Muse, I’d like to think we’ve moved away from our rumba roots and into a broader contemporary instrumental sound that includes acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, violin, etc. In fact, I think there is only one rumba out of 12 songs on the new album." Featuring a
