![]() ![]() Gov’t Mule: Revolution Come… Revolution Go And that message is positivity.” – Jeremy Schantzġ1. A good album might not have one but every great album does and Shane Henry’s Light In The Dark is a great album because of its message. “Part of a great album is something subtle that happens in between the drum beats and the bass bops something that’s under the lyrics and wrapped up in the guitar rhythms. ![]() Rise Up is an exciting album that will surely speak to a wide variety of listeners.” – Alexandra Veltri The hints of genre crossing that display great versatility and musicianship amongst the group tease all of the possibilities for future albums. “Rufus Black gets off to a great start with their debut album. The end result is an album filled with wonderful music from a truly talented artist. ![]() There is more guitar and blues here than some of Lang’s previous efforts, which should make long time fans happy, but we also see Lang continue to expand on his songwriting. “Overall, Signs is an album that brings out the best of Jonny Lang in different styles. ![]() If you’re into bluesy garage rock look no further, Jon Lantic delivers in spades.” – Pete Francis Jon Lantic is a well rounded debut from a multi-talented artist. With artists like Dan Patlansky at the forefront of blues rock in South Africa, it seems Lantic is another South African act to watch closely. That appears to be the case with Jon Lantic. “Sometimes it feels like great artists just fall out of the sky to us at Blues Rock Review. Mollie Marriott is a musician in her own right, and a powerful one at that.” – Alexandra Veltri One listen to Truth Is A Wolf could clear up any preconceived notions, and surely remove her from parental shadows. “Marriott is a singer with vocal ability that could have landed her singing anything from R&B to Musical Theatre to who knows, even Opera, based on sheer skill level and range alone, and yet a genre other than rock would surely not convey the kind of emotion and connectability that she gets across in this first album. Listeners are certainly in for a treat with Belle of the West, and although there shouldn’t be any pressure, with the rate Fish is turning these albums out, one can only hope for a new one sometime soon.” – Alexandra Veltri “This album has moments of familiarity and warmth found in a Fleetwood Mac album, and even the mystical hazy elements of the 1968 album Nancy & Lee, all while honoring the theme of blues rock. Dream Train is a nostalgic and satisfying foray into the classic southern blues style with enough catchy tunes, slick riffs, and head-bobbing rhythms.” – Mark Hunstein In fact, when Dream Train sounds good, it highlights exactly what we all like about blues, rock, and the intertwining therein. “ Dream Train never sounds bad during its 13-track setlist. This is a very exciting album, not only for Pam Taylor, but for any music lover searching for some authentic roots.” – Alexandra Veltri Each song reads this way, as if it were written by a person who loves doing this, but also doesn’t take herself too seriously. Songs like “Squeeze Me” and “Mountain” have fun, movable melodies, with lyrics, that though certainly serious and true, have an element of humor to them. Pam Taylor really seems to be having a great time. “The entire album is incredibly refreshing. Five years later, they’ve gained so much more experience with touring, navigating record label deals and writing music that speaks to who they are and the message they want to share with the world–and it has all benefited their music.” – Meghan Roos “The Shakedown are no longer the kids they were when they made Wild Child. Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown: Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown Thousands of our readers voted, the staff of Blues Rock Review voted, and together we are proud to release the top 20 albums of 2017.Ģ0.
