Bman's Blues Report

I just received the newest release, Sing Me Another Song , from John Lyons . Opening with Another Wave , a solid pop track, Lyons demonstrates his capabilities as a writer and singer with a catchy hook and nice vocal harmonies. Joined by Matthew Savnik on keys, Simon Britschgi on drums, Gabriel Spahni on bass and vocals and Simon Winiger on bass. She'll Tell You No Lies is a cool blues ballad with a nice melody. Lyons adds touches of guitar masterfully blended into the material of the music, Savnik maintaining the fullness of the track. Believe is a very strong radio style track with a particularly strong hook. Vocal blending and acoustic guitars over the simplicity of drums and keys allows the brightness of Lyons vocals to shine through.

M I C H A E L  K I W A N U K A Third Man Records is delighted to present Michael Kiwanuka's contribution to the TMR Blue Series catalog. Kiwanuka, a 25 year-old UK native of Ugandan heritage, was raised in north London where he split his time between session work and local gigs. Along the way, having found footing as a solo artist, he was signed to Communion Records, then Polydor, and has since performed throughout Europe and North America, while touring in direct support of Adele. He made his way through Nashville this past summer with just enough pause and aplomb to commit these morsels to tape. The A-side, "You've Got Nothing to Lose," is an original composition, featuring The Buzzards' Dominic Davis on upright bass, Cory Younts on piano, and joined also by fellow balladeer Lillie Mae Rische on fiddle. Their contributions transform his work into a stone-cold groove with almos...

DAMON FOWLER'S "SOUNDS OF HOME" TOPS CHART! Sounds of Home , the latest CD from roots guitar guru Damon Fowler, is #1 this week on the Roots Music Report's Blues Chart!  The album debuted on the Billboard Blues chart shortly after its release and now it's the most played album on blues radio in the country.  It's also been getting critical acclaim, as evidenced by these quotes: The covers are well-chosen, but Fowler's originals and nimble guitar work are the reasons to visit." - USA Today "A blend of sacred steel, backwater blues and howling, greasy swamp rock, Fowler's music is a primal, atavistic sound that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. This one will pin your ears back and track swamp fonk all over the place." - No Depression "Where the swamp meets the cotton field; Sounds of Home signifies Damon Fowler's progression into the ranks of the Americana elite." - Livi...
