The Black Fuel |
|
| |
Heavy Hermits: Coming straight out of Troy, NY, the Black Fuel is a working class power trio, bestubbled and maligned purveyors of the sort of primal, double ugly rock sorely missing from today's music mainstream. Recluses, apes and maggots one and all, these three tone-junkies have remained a mostly secret tryst, rehearsing sporadically in a cavernous warehouse in Clifton Park

Nora Jean Bruso (nee Wallace) was born to sing the blues. Like so many blues greats she hails from the Delta of Mississippi, and was born and raised in Greenwood, a town in the heart of this blues rich region. From birth her father, Bobby Lee Wallace, a professional blues singer and sharecropper, and her Uncle, Henry "Son" Wallace, a blues singer and guitar player, infused the blues in her soul. Contributing to her musical education as well was her mother, Ida Lee Wallace, a gospel singer, and her grandmother, Mary, who ran a juke house.

Eric Linell |

When Eric Lindell first hit the national music scene with his 2006 Alligator Records debut Change In The Weather, critics and fans alike celebrated the arrival of a roots rocker with dozens of unforgettable original songs. As he toured the U.S., his fan base grew, and before long clubs and festivals were filled with happy, dancing people singing the words to every song. Now he’s back with Low On Cash, Rich In Love, a collection filled with solid grooves, insightful lyrics and one emotionally rich song after another.

Sonny Landreth |
|
| |
When it comes to Sonny Landreth, even Eric Clapton is a fan. "He’s probably the most underestimated musician on the plant and also probably one of the most advanced," he says. Landreth performed this past July at Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas. Just last year, Landreth also received another long overdue nod with a Grammy Award nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Recording for his seventh album, The Road We’re On, released on Sugar Hill Records.Grant Street, Landreth’s latest effort for Sugar Hill, finds the slide guitar master on his first live recording and back at his old haunt in Lafayette, Louisiana. "Making this album was a homecoming," Landreth says. Read more at,

Cephas and Wiggins |
|
| |
Cephas & Wiggins are leading exponents of the Piedmont Blues – specifically the Piedmont-style guitar, featuring alternating thumb and finger, with the thumb creating a steady, loping bass as the melody is simultaneously picked out on the treble strings. The two met in 1977 at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C., where Cephas was playing in the band of pianist Big Chief Ellis and Wiggins was accompanying gospel singer-guitarist Flora Melton. Along with pianist Wilber “Big Chief” Ellis and bassist James Bellamy, John and Phil formed the Barrelhouse Rockers. A year after Ellis’ death, the duo of Cephas & Wiggins was born.
