Reese Wynans – Let Loose

Reese Wynans – Let Loose

by | Apr 8, 2019

With his very own Sweet Release album being released on Provogue/Mascot Label Group, produced by Joe Bonamassa no less, it seems a good time to meet up with the veteran keyboard ace. It’s a bitterly cold morning in London, so I stop off to buy Reese a woolly hat for his stay and over tea we talk about his record…

Reese Wynans & Friends -Sweet Release

by | Apr 5, 2019

Keys man of choice for many great artists, Wynans in conversation seems softly chuffed with having his own album out. On it he mixes styles, tempo’s and instrumentation and to be frank listening to it you might not assume it was a keys player’s oeuvre..which is my way of saying you will likely just enjoy the tunes and performances.

Eric Gales – The Bookends

Eric Gales – The Bookends

by | Feb 6, 2019

A release from the loose cannon Eric Gales always turns out to be intriguing. I reckon this is because he will listen to Holst, Howlin’ Wolf, Herbie Hancock..to Blues, bluegrass, Brahms and Billie Holiday – and that could be one of my record shelves.

Robben Ford – Purple House

Robben Ford – Purple House

by | Feb 3, 2019

This is a creative bloke who challenges himself all the time BUT with deep roots in blues and jazz stylings.

No wonder he has a following.

I have seen guitarist Kirk perform a couple of times with Joe Bonamassa and my overall impression was one of robust style, accent on rhythmic patterns with very generic solo’ing.

Doyle Bramhall II – Tea, Tones And Tunes

With a new album coming out on Mascot and titled Shades it seems a good time to catch up again with the artist as he flies in from sunny California to overcast Shoreditch for press sessions. Pete and fellow guitarist Colin Howell grab a beverage and join Doyle at his hotel this morning to talk about the new record:

Sheryl Crow – Be Myself

Sheryl Crow – Be Myself

by | May 4, 2017

An artist who never strays far from rock and roots music and selects musical cohorts who will act as catalyst figures in arranging and recording. And that’s not as a cold business decision – or she would have Chris Martin or Sheeran in – but a brave challenge to herself to take chances and keep things fresh.

Doyle Bramhall II – Rich Man

Doyle Bramhall II – Rich Man

by | Apr 14, 2017

So far, every one of Mr Bramhall’s album releases have been full of fine songs, spirited singing, lively arrangements and in their best moments, stuttering smokestack-belching howling and spitting chunks of guitar-playing.
