Records history we have two recordings on The Roots Music Report Blues Charts. Debbie Davies' After The Fall has been on the charts for two months and is currently no. 5. Debbie's latest is shaping up to be one the most successful of her impressive career. Rick Holmstrom's first release in 5 years, the all-original Cruel Sunrise, has been on the charts for three weeks and sits at the no. 9 position. You can check out the this weeks chart right here. Since the release of After The Fall on July 17 Debbie Davies has toured the U.K., the Midwest and the West coast. The 10 time Blues Music Award nominee has received fantastic reviews and has been interviewed on XM/Sirius B.B. Kings Bluesville and The Guitar Show with Andy Ellis. More good news is on the way. Look for her upcoming Canadian tour later this month. Check out these great reviews! "After the Fall" (M.C. Records) is an 11-track LP of slashing hooks and cathartic riffs that echo the hardships Davies endured and her efforts to overcome them. The Connecticut Post Searing, pulsating riffs and house-rockin' performances with clever lyrics and gut-check emotion are featured on "After the Fall," The Toledo Blade This might be one of the best blues releases this year. Blues Blast Magazine Cruel Sunrise is Rick Holmstrom's first solo recording in five years and features Mavis Staples on two tracks.  Rick and his band have been recording and touring with Mavis Staples for the last five years. He received a Grammy in 2010 for his work on Mavis'  "You Are Not Alone," produced by Jeff Tweedy (of Wilco). Rick has a bunch of solo dates in the LA area and continues leading Mavis Staples band. Rick Holmstrom is just too talented and restrained to release anything less than professionally crafted. All Music Guide Each track is blissfully inventive. Holmstrom creates a blues that is effortless to vibe to. Where Y'At This is real forward thinking white boy blues that charts the future but can be enjoyed in the here and now. Well done.
