Bman's Blues Report

I was going through some of my old reviews and wondered what happened to Ursula as I have seen anything from her in a long time. I really loved this release. Well, I found out that Ursula is now in a good way and needs our help. HELP IF YOU CAN I just received the newest release (October 15, 2013), My Streets , from Ursula Ricks and it's super! Opening with Tobacco Road , a laid back R&B track with great bones. Harp master Kim Wilson adds some nice riffs blending and nicely complimenting Ricks rich voice. Sweet Tenderness has a really nice flow nicely showcasing Ricks' amazing feel for her music. Backed by strings and Christal Rheams and Caleb Green, this track has a solid radio sound. Mary Jane has an infectious groove and Ricks plants herself firmly in the back beat. Full key work from Kevin Anker and unusually rhythm guitar work from Johnny Moeller add to the interest of this track. Title track, My Street , has a really interesting rhythm led by Robb Stupka o...

Brigitte Purdy returns to center stage with her latest studio release, Mother of the Crossroads , a record that effortlessly bridges the gap between classic soul and hard-hitting blues-rock. Produced alongside multi-instrumentalist Dave Osti via Dirtshack Records , the project introduces listeners to a raw, deeply blues landscape shaped by Purdy's roots as a powerhouse vocalist and seasoned live performer. Backed by vintage keyboard textures, driving rhythm sections, and sharp instrumentation, this introductory chapter sets a strong foundation for an album that honors classic roots traditions while firmly establishing Purdy’s own voice in the contemporary scene.   > 🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM   Add this Record to Your Collection Available in Digital Formats. 🛒 Buy Album on Amazon Store As an Amazon Associate, Bman earns from qualifying purchases.

Jane Getter Premonition is the killer progressive-fusion vehicle steered by NYC guitar ace and singer-composer Jane Getter . It’s basically where heavy prog-rock grit crashes headfirst into razor-sharp jazz fusion—zero filler, all teeth. Flanked by an elite crew of monster players like keyboardist Adam Holzman and guitarist Alex Skolnick, Getter has built a reputation for shredding right through traditional genre borders. They’re back at it with Transmogrify , a record that leans hard into raw sonic mutations and heavy, shape-shifting grooves.   > 🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM   Add this Record to Your Collection Available in Digital Formats. 🛒 Buy Album on Amazon Store As an Amazon Associate, Bman earns from qualifying purchases.

Tas Cru calls himself a "blues eclectic," mostly because he refuses to get boxed into just one style. Based out of Central New York, he’s a seasoned singer, songwriter, and guitarist who has spent years building a reputation as a great storyteller. He infuses his music with plenty of roots rock and a sharp sense of wit, and he’s incredibly versatile on stage—just as comfortable doing a solo acoustic set with a cigar-box guitar and a harmonica as he is fronting a full six-piece band. He's got a massive catalog of original music under his belt and a lifetime of touring experience, giving him a laid-back, authentic vibe that makes him a standout in the blues scene.   > 🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM   Add this Record to Your Collection Available in Digital Formats. 🛒 Buy Album on Amazon Store As an Amazon Associate, Bman earns from qualifying purchases.
