I'm the Boss Card in Your Hand, 1937-1960, stands as the definitive Black Ace collection to date - not only does Arhoolie's CD reissue include the entirety of their original 1960 release, but it also appends previously unissued material from the same session and even tosses in a half-dozen tracks from his 1937 Decca label debut.

Thanks largely to its steadfast refusal to fit easily into any kind of regional genre pigeonhole, Ace's music possesses a beautifully timeless quality; and though he's a poignant vocalist, the real treat here is his slide guitar mastery, as instrumentals like "Ace's Guitar Blues" and "Bad Times Stomp" reveal a unique hybrid sound successfully bridging the gap between the Delta and Hawaiian styles. /Jason Ankeny, AllMusic

Phil Coyne & The Wayward Aces - Live At The Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society

“Live at the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society" captures Phil Coyne and The Wayward Aces’ intensity with fabulous fidelity. Showcasing their powerful dynamic range - the swing and drive of Will’s drums, in collusion with Oscar’s compelling and commanding guitar, aided and abetted by Phil’s brassy harp and raucous vocals - the album faithfully reproduces the live band experience, an unexpectedly full sound that belies their three-piece setup.

Spin the CD for a front-row ticket to the Wayward Aces’ MBAS concert. While more at home in whiskey-soaked bars with dancers on their feet than a seated, attentive audience, they were on their A-game fully immersed and connecting through the stories behind the songs. The concert was everything the Aces love about live performance: presence, power, and raw energy, capturing the heart and soul of Chicago blues with the swing of rockabilly and the drive of garage surf.

Personnel: Phil Coyne (vocals, harmonica); Oscar LaDell (guitar); Will Harris (drums).

In 1983, he met West Coast bluesman William Clarke and became a protégé of the late, legendary harmonica player, and lived with him in Los Angeles in 1985. In the 80’s and 90’s, Barry and his Minneapolis-based band, frequently served as a back-up band to famed Chicago bluesman, Otis "Big Smokey" Smothers, whenever he performed in Minnesota. Barry, also, has been active in promoting blues in the Twin Cities area that dates back to the late 1970's.

Over the years, he has brought to Twin Cities blues fans such artists as: Big Walter Horton, Sunnyland Slim, Eddie Taylor, Hubert Sumlin, William Clarke, Big Smokey Smothers among many others. In 2016, Barry released an album’s worth of material from 1992 where he backed Otis "Big Smokey" Smothers. This was Smothers last studio recording. The album "That’s Alright" was a wonderful surprise to the blues world and received high marks from blues critics and fans. Barry subsequently released two albums under his own name: "Talk Is Cheap" in 2016 and "Blow Your Cool" in 2018. Both albums were well received, and "Blow Your Cool" was selected as Best Album of 2018 by the Minnesota Blues Society.

In 2023, as a tribute to his mentor, William Clarke, Barry released the internationally acclaimed biography "Blowin' Like Hell, The William Clarke Story". Barry's book was inducted into the Minnesota Blues Hall of Fame in 2024 for Blues Art, Literature and Media. Barry's newest album, "Pure Blues" was released in August of 2026, and features many of Minnesota's finest blues musicians as well as internationally recognized artists, Igor Prado and Tad Robinson. The Paul Barry Blues Band, based in Minneapolis/St. Paul, specializes in Chicago and West Coast jump blues and plays in local clubs and festivals in and around the metro area and state of Minnesota.

6. Fly On The Wall (3:21)

The Boneshakers return with Pull Up the Roots: The Berlin & Hotel Sessions, an intimate recording that strips one of America's most electrifying blues and soul bands down to its essence. Marking their second release for Gulf Coast Records, the collection favours raw performance over polish, capturing the chemistry, spontaneity, and fearless musicianship that have defined the group for more than three decades. Fronted by the unmistakable voice of Jenny Langer and the soulful guitar work of Randy Jacobs, the EP embraces honest, acoustic arrangements where every note and breath remains beautifully exposed.

Produced by Jacobs, Langer, and John Wooler, the project reveals a band confident enough to let the songs speak for themselves. Recorded primarily at Kaleidoscope Studios in Berlin, the sessions continued wherever the road allowed, with additional performances captured in U.S. studios and hotel rooms between shows. This wandering spirit gives the EP a sense of movement and lived experience.

A remarkable ensemble of collaborators adds depth throughout, including Holly Montgomery, Arthur Thompson, Joe Sublett, Mark Pender, Jon Gilutin, and Oliver Leiber. Across six tracks - bold reinterpretations and originals - the band blends Detroit soul, New Orleans groove, blues, and rock & roll swagger. Pull Up the Roots celebrates authenticity, proving that great songs and genuine soul need no embellishment.

Personnel: Jenny Langer (vocals); Randy Jacobs (guitar); Holly Montgomery (bass, vocals); Arthur Thompson (percussion, vocals); Joe Sublett (saxophone); Mark Pender (harmonica); Jon Gilutin (keyboards); Oliver Leiber (acoustic guitar).

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Whatchu' Want For Christmas?

Album: Whatchu' Want For Christmas?

California's Big Bad Voodoo Daddy are an old-school swing-and-jump blues outfit who first came to prominence in the '90s as one of the main progenitors of the neo-swing revival. Along with similarly-inclined neo-swing acts like Squirrel Nut Zippers and the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy helped to revive big-band music and popularize swing dancing for the MTV generation and beyond. As with many of their neo-swing contemporaries, BBVD concentrated on the swinging days of the '40s and '50s, borrowing some of the Rat Pack lingo in addition to the zoot suits that cloaked each bandmate. Though heavily associated with the '90s swing movement, the band has thrived on touring and continued to mature, deepening their jazz influences.

Formed by lead singer/guitarist Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren in Los Angeles in 1989, the group built up a following with regular gigs on the local lounge circuit, playing to Gen-Xers enamored with the kitschy charm of the cocktail nation. This burgeoning lounge scene was captured in the hit 1996 indie comedy film Swingers, which featured a song by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy on the soundtrack as well as an onscreen cameo by the band. By the end of 1997, the band had self-released two albums - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and What'chu Want for Christmas - which were local hits and led to a major-label contract with Capitol Records.

In February 1998, Capitol released the group's major-label debut, Americana Deluxe (also known as Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, although the album was different from the band's self-released debut). This Beautiful Life followed one year later. By the time the band came together for a follow-up, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy had sold over three million albums, performed at Super Bowl XXXIII with Stevie Wonder and Gloria Estefan, and had their music used in over 60 film and TV trailers. The swing revival had considerably died down, however, thus returning Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to their original status as an underground band.

The group's fifth album, Save My Soul, appeared in 2003, five years after their Interscope debut. Inspired by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Save My Soul found the band expanding its sound to include elements of the Big Easy's jazz, swamp funk, and Cajun traditions. A live CD/DVD and holiday-themed album appeared in 2004. In 2009, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy released How Big Can You Get?: The Music of Cab Calloway, which found the band digging even deeper into a hardcore jazz and swing sound. The band stuck with the more swing- and jazz-oriented approach after signing with the Savoy Jazz label and releasing Rattle Them Bones in 2012. Their third collection of Christmas music, It Feels Like Christmas Time, appeared in the fall of 2013.

Over the next several years, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy stayed busy touring and making regular appearances at festivals around the world. In 2017, they celebrated their 25th anniversary in the music business with the release of their 11th studio album Louie Louie Louie. An homage to Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima, and Louis Jordan, the album featured reworkings of many the three jazz and blues legends' most well-known tunes. /Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic

Sooo, you think you know pat mAcdonald? I'm willing to bet not as well as you might presume. Well, click away, enter patworld and be prepared to be amazed, amused and to occasionally scratch your head and go WHAT ??? In the interstellar desert there is a milky way bone man navigating a highway that does not exist. He speaks with a searing harmonica, setting the guitar lines on fire like the yellow breaks separating the highway at dusk as they pass in a rhythm of 33 and a 3rd, boot heels on the floorboards of a haunted car. My "official" recording career began in 1980 with the first Pat MacDonald & The Essentials album, Lowdown, released on 12" vinyl by Mountain Railroad Records, a regional indie headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin. The closing song featured a cameo vocal by my girlfriend at the time, Barbara Kooyman, who also co-wrote the music. It was the album’s only co-written song, ironically titled "Makin’ It On My Own." A couple years later, with a growing musicality and greatly reduced surname, Barbara K joined The Essentials, playing fiddle and singing backup. In the next two years, we married, had a child, and recorded the EP, Essentialist Propaganda before splitting off to form the duo Timbuk3 and moving to Austin, Texas. Our live rhythm section consisted of homemade drum and bass tracks played on a boom box. That’s when my "official" recording career took off. Our debut, Greetings From Timbuk3, contained a crowd-pleasing carryover from The Essentials days called "The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades." It went to Billboard’s top 20 and our little duo became an "overnight" success. From 1987 through 1995, Timbuk3 made lots more albums but never followed up the hit. During that time, my main job (which I absolutely loved) was to keep cranking out songs to make albums to fulfill recording contracts. We might have sustained the initial success longer if we’d toured more, but we enjoyed home life and home recording, investing the recording advances into equipment for our backyard studio. And that follow-up hit was always just a hook-laden chorus away. But I wasn’t trying to write hits. And I wasn’t trying to write a hit when I wrote the hit. I was just trying to write songs. Well, I knew I could write songs, but now I was trying to write albums, and enjoying my work, my "official" recording career. After Timbuk3’s breakup I moved to Spain and was provided the means to produce several more "official" projects for the German label, Ulftone. Many European critics said they were my best, most cohesive work yet. Troubadour of Stomp, my first U.S. label release in ten years (and perhaps my last label release ever) (I’m hating labels at the moment) has been getting similar reactions. No longer judged on "hit potential," I’ve been accepted as an "album oriented" artist. My job and my passion is making albums and this raises a need for certain songs at certain times.

Miko Marks - Hell or High Water

7. Reaper Blues (3:53)
8. Hell or High Water (3:21)
9. Bound to Roam (2:58)
10. Freedom (2:56)

These experiences form the backdrop for an album that is not exclusively about difficult times. Marks specifically aims to show that, despite pain and uncertainty, there remains room for recovery, connection, and new possibilities. For the production, she once again collaborated with Justin Phipps—her regular musical partner, with whom she also co-wrote the songs. Together, they opted for a distinctly blues-oriented approach, without losing sight of gospel and soul influences. From ‘Death Rolls Like Thunder’ to ‘Freedom’ The first single, "Death Rolls Like Thunder," demonstrates that Marks looks beyond her own life. The song references the Battle of the Little Bighorn, using this historical event as a narrative about resistance, freedom, and the strength of people defending their right to exist. The title track, "Hell or High Water," is more closely tied to her personal history. The song explores how to keep going when life loses its familiar shape, and the strength Marks finds in memories, family, and the generations that came before her. "It’s Alright"—which saw the premiere of an official music video on October 29—also aligns with this theme. The song emerged during a period when Marks had to learn to trust in her own future once again. With song titles like "Ain’t Nobody Gonna Bring Me Down," "Reaper Blues," and the concluding track "Freedom," it becomes clear just how much the album centers on perseverance, change, and the quest for freedom. A voice with a story Miko Marks is one of those artists who naturally blurs the lines between American roots genres. Given her musical background in country and gospel, her shift toward the blues is not so much a change in direction as it is a return to one of her primary roots. With *Hell or High Water*, she presents an album in which personal experiences and broader social themes converge. For fans of powerful blues vocals, soulful roots music, and stories that carry real meaning, this is a release worth discovering.

Don't miss it. Beautiful album in my opinion

11. Key To The Highway (5:31)

These veteran players channel their sound from an era in American music that began about the time Little Walter first “electrified” his harmonica with a cheap dispatchers mic and tube amp, and ended about the time B.B. King recorded “Thrill is Gone”. While they mine their material from sources as diverse as Hank Williams and Nat King Cole (also from Montgomery), the sound never strays far from the blues.

A dynamic blues, jazz, and soul singer/harmonica player, John stretches the traditional boundaries of blues harmonica over all these genres. The result is a unique blend of American music that's both uptown and lowdown. John is a member of the Alabama Blues Hall of Fame and is an instructor for the Alabama Blues Project. He is also an accomplished visual artist and his artwork is available at many of his shows.

Personnel: John Bull (vocals, harmonica); Sheffield Walker (guitar); Dr. Phillip Terrell (bass); Harold Robinson (drums).

It is important to note that along with this aspect to his songwriting there is also a very joyful, playful and, at times, humorous side to his heartfelt music.

Here again Brandon also pays musical homage, as he did on his previous 2025 Canadian Blues Music award winning album “Walkin’ With The Blues”, to some of the seminal blues influences from his own personal musical journey. These influences include Ronnie Earl, Anson Funderburg, Sam Myers, T-Bone Walker and B.B. King. He has studied and absorbed a variety of guitar and vocal styles from these blues legends. Brandon’s guitar and vocal accolades are well earned. He speaks through his guitar in the stylistic musical language of great blues artists, all the while retaining his own soulful identity. His aim on this album is not only to pay homage to these influences but to capture some of the deep soul that their music has imparted to him.

Brandon’s band on this album comprises several of the fine musicians who perform with him live in his British Columbia concert appearances. The musical chemistry between Brandon and his band - The Saints of Swing - is soulful, palpable and infectious. Everything simply flows and feels “right” - a beautiful matchup of musical instincts and talents. The Saints of Swing are all “A-List” blues players from Vancouver and each is a master of his chosen instrument. /Dan Casavant

Personnel: Brandon Isaak (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Rob Becker (bass); Chris Nordquist (drums, percussion); Darryl Havers (piano, keyboards, organ); Jerry Cook, Paul Wainwright (saxophone); Marty Shepard (trumpet); Nadine States (backing vocals).

3. FU Blues (4:31)
4. Mow Many More Years (5:14)
5. Blackjack (3:43)
6. Sweet Little Riff (3:52)

Blues lovers strap yourself in for the tone and fury of mid 50’s Chicago blues with Phil Coyne and The Wayward Aces debut EP "Sound and Fury". Recorded on one track tape at Quasar studios in the heart of Melbourne "Sound and Fury" is a tribute to the energy and vitality of the early 50’s Chicago with its raw sounds bursting out of the instruments and sending VU meters into a frenzy. Romping through six tracks, including four originals, the band is captured channeling the timing, tone and feel of some of Chicago's greats. Influences you'll hear include Little Walter, Howling Wolf, Otis Rush, Billy Boy Arnold and Muddy Waters.

All the originals were penned by Phil Coyne the blues harp blaster, singer and songwriter at the front and centre. Recorded in glorious mono - most tracks are a single take, no overdubs, no corrections - high stakes with all foibles and fancies baked in. It’s electric Chicago blues at its stripped back best as the three piece concentrate on tone, timing, passion and potency. Not suitable for polite society, this is loud, brash juke joint dancing blues.

Personnel: Phil Coyne (vocals, harmonica); Morgan Klose (guitar); Will Harris (drums).

Tab Benoit - Blues Masters Live

8. Crawfishin' (4:55)
9. Mardi Gras Medley (9:40)
10. Cherry Tree Blues (8:11)
11. Bayou Boogie (5:56)

Blues Masters Live captures Tab Benoit at a defining moment in his early rise, performing with the fire, soul, and unmistakable Louisiana grit that had already set him apart. Recorded October 19, 2002, inside Blue Heaven Studios - a converted Gothic church in Salina, Kansas - the session closed the fifth annual Blues Masters at the Crossroads concert series. At just 34, Benoit found himself sharing a bill with the Louisiana legends who shaped him, carrying the swamp-drenched tone and emotional intensity he first honed as a teenage prodigy at Tabby Thomas’s Blues Box in Baton Rouge.

The Blues Masters series was the creation of Chad Kassem, a fellow Louisiana native and founder of Acoustic Sounds. Kassem had long championed Benoit and ensured the 2002 performance was captured with the same meticulous care that defines Acoustic Sounds’ audiophile recordings. Yet the tapes remained unreleased for nearly twenty-four years - an extraordinary snapshot of Benoit’s early prime preserved in the vault until Acoustic Sounds’ 40th anniversary prompted the opening of its historic Blues Masters archive. Kassem knew exactly where to begin. What unfolds on Blues Masters Live shows why. Introduced by Gabriel “Guitar Gable” Perrodin - veteran of Excello Records’ legendary 1950s house band - Benoit, bassist Carl Dufrene Jr., and drummer Darryl White deliver a set that distills everything essential about Benoit’s artistry. His playing is fearless yet deeply rooted, blending Delta tradition, bayou humidity, and soul-heavy phrasing into a voice entirely his own.

It’s a raw, electrifying portrait of a musician already in full command of his identity. Released by Whiskey Bayou Records and APO, Blues Masters Live arrives at a meaningful point in Benoit’s modern story. After stepping away from recording for more than a decade, Benoit returned in 2024 with I Hear Thunder, reclaiming control of his music and landing at No. 1 on Billboard’s Blues Albums chart. With thirteen Billboard chart appearances, multiple Blues Music Awards, and collaborations with icons from Dr. John to Willie Nelson, Benoit remains one of the defining guitar voices of contemporary blues. This long-hidden performance finally completes the story - an explosive night from 2002 that the world can now hear at last. /Amazon

12. Luther's Lament (Feat. Luther Tucker) (11:59)

After leaving Ukiah, CA, and moving south to San Francisco to form the Charles Ford Band (named for their father) in the late '60s with harmonica player Gary Smith, brothers Pat (drums) and Robben (guitar) were enlisted by Charlie Musselwhite and were pivotal members of one of the best aggregations the harpist ever led. Leaving Musselwhite after recording Arhoolie's Takin' My Time, they recruited bassist Stan Poplin and younger brother Mark, then age 17, on harmonica and played under the name the Real Charles Ford Band.

Heavily influenced by the original Butterfield Blues Band and the Chess catalog, the quartet was famous for their live jazz explorations - often jamming for 30 minutes or more on a John Coltrane and George Benson tune - and hear-a-pin-drop dynamics (with Mark abandoning mike and amp to play acoustically into the room or Robben turning the volume all the way off on his fat-body Gibson L-5). Muddy Waters sat in with and praised the young band, and Chess Records even came courting, but the brothers split on New Year's Eve, 1971, recording their sole LP posthumously, as it were.

Robben went on to major cult status via session work and sporadic solo releases, and after lengthy hiatuses Mark and Pat continue to gig around the Bay Area and Europe. Pat founded his own Blue Rock'it label, on which albums like The Ford Blues Band, Hot Shots and 1999 were released. The band's influence in Northern California is still enormous, particularly among guitar players who continue to ape licks Robben forgot two decades ago. /Biography by Dan Forte, AllMusic

11. Cold Cold Feeling (3:14)

When Swedish blues singer-songwriter Erika Baier and American guitar virtuoso Kirk Fletcher share a stage, something rare happens: voice and guitar seem to breathe as one. Their partnership is a meeting of two lifelong blues journeys - different roads leading to the same destination, carried by the timeless power of the music.

For Erika, it began in a small town in southern Sweden, digging into her father's record collection and feeling the spark when she witnessed blues greats live at a local festival. That fire led her to form Erika Baier and the Buzz in 2014, win the Scandinavian Blues Contest with 12 original songs, and release her debut single "For Granted" (2016) followed by her acclaimed first album "How 'Bout That" (2018). With a string of soulful singles since, Erika has carved out her place as a contemporary blues artist with a voice described by Fletcher as "unique and at the same time deeply rooted in the tradition". Whether delivering the raw grit of "Cold Cold Feeling" or the uplifting warmth of "Change for the Better", her voice carries an honesty that captivates audiences.

Kirk Fletcher's path began across the ocean in Bellflower, California, where he learned guitar in his father's Compton church and absorbed the deep roots of gospel and blues. From there, his career blossomed: touring with Kim Wilson's Blues Revue, recording on the Grammy-nominated "Smokin' Joint", joining The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and sharing stages with legends like Joe Bonamassa, Cyndi Lauper, and Charlie Musselwhite. His solo work, including "Hold On", "My Blues Pathway", Heartache by the Pound" and "Keep on Pushing" has earned Billboard chart success and international acclaim, with Guitar World praising his "sweetness and authenticity that screams class".

Their connection was sealed at the Gothenburg Blues Festival 2022, where mutual respect grew into friendship and, eventually, collaboration. In 2024, Erika invited Kirk to play on her single "Complicate". By 2025, Kirk had invited Erika to join him as a special guest on the Joe Bonamassa Blues Cruise - where their chemistry electrified audiences and proved that history was being made in real time. Today, Kirk Fletcher & Erika Baier stand as kindred spirits in the blues.

Walk On In is the most ambitious project yet from Chicago blues icon Willie Buck and instrumental powerhouse The Secret 4. Spanning 15 massive tracks across a historic double album, this release cements a legendary postwar blues legacy into the modern era.

Willie Buck isn't just a musician; he is living history. After moving to Chicago from Mississippi in 1953, he snuck into a South Side club to watch Muddy Waters perform - a single night that forged the timeless, driving sound he has carried for over six decades. Now a 2004 Chicago Blues Hall of Fame inductee, Buck delivers his raw, commanding vocal energy atop the razor-sharp pocket grooves of The Secret 4 and the blistering, soul-infused saxophone work of Anthony Bruno.

Walk On In seamlessly bridges the gap between classic West and South Side traditions and modern groove. The album features electrifying, reimagined takes on timeless blues standards alongside deep-cut favorites, including hard-hitting renditions of "Big Boss Man", "Can't Be Satisfied", "King Bee", and "Smoke Stack Lightning". From the foot-stomping rhythm of "Willies Boogie" to the gritty instrumental swing of "Chitlins Con Carne", every song captures the smoke, sweat, and undeniable magic of a late-night Chicago blues room.

Personnel: Willie Buck (vocals); Gene Kilty (guitar); Earl "Pool Ball" Carter (bass); Ricky Dubra (drums); Lance Loiselle (keyboards); Anthony Bruno (saxophone).
