During the ’80 and ‘90, the only blues band visitors to New Orleans would hear was Bryan Lee’s Jump Street Five Band at the Old Absinthe House on Bourbon Street. Blues veteran Bryan Lee, blind since childhood, became a true New Orleans blues institution and kept on delivering his own fiery brand of bluespower long after the Old Absinthe House was gone. This was a gig that went a long way to establish New Orleans as a blues town despite the fact that Lee’s style never really departed from his mid-west demeanor, making him the most Chicago-sounding band on the strip.

Born in 1943 on March 16, Two Rivers, Wisconsin, Lee lost his eyesight at the age of eight. His avid interest in early rock and blues was fostered through the 1950s with late night listening sessions via the Nashville-based radio station WLAC-AM, where he first encountered the sounds of the three Kings, Elmore James, T-Bone Walker and other influential bluesmen. By his late teens, he was playing rhythm guitar in a regional band called The Glaciers that covered Elvis Presley, Little Richard and Chuck Berry material.

Through the ‘60s, Lee’s interest turned to Chicago blues and he soon found himself gigging in blues clubs throughout the Midwest. In January of 1982 (in the midst of a particularly cold Wisconsin winter), Lee relocated to New Orleans and for the next 14 years held down a steady gig playing five nights a week at the Old Absinthe House in the heart of the French Quarter. He subsequently went to the Opera House and 544 Club and remains one of the most crowd-pleasing acts on Bourbon Street to this day.

Lee debuted on Justin Time Records in 1991 with The Blues Is and has since released a string of powerful outings on the label, including 1993’s Memphis Bound, 1995’s Braille Blues Daddy, 1997’s Live at the Old Absinthe House Bar Friday and Saturday Night, Crawfish Lady and more! His dynamic Blues Power Band was captured in concert at The Spectrum in Montreal on the Justin Time DVD, Live & Dangerous.

Personnel: Bryan Lee (guitar, vocals); Brad Westen (bass); Alan Robinson (drums); Billy White (keyboards); Eric Traub (saxophone); Eric Langstaff (trombone).

Byther Smith (1932-2021), an orphan, was shown the right path by his aunt. Byther aspired to a boxing career, but his aunt managed to interest him in the guitar. After taking lessons from JP Lenior, Robert Lockwood, and Hubert Sumlin, he went on to play as a rhythm guitarist in Otis Rush’s band. In the 1970s, he was a guitarist for Big Mama Thornton and George “Harmonica” Smith, among others. After his retirement, he continued as a full-time musician.

The album “Working Man’s Blues” refers to this; despite his steady job, he continued to play in the blues clubs of Chicago. Byther Smith’s style is recognizable by his crisp, plucking playing style and songs with long intros, but above all, Byther was also a gifted singer. In addition to his guitar playing, his clear voice was also his trademark. The album consists of 2 CDs with 27 tracks, well over two hours of fine Chicago blues. CD 1 is a reissue of his 1988 album Addressing the Nation With the Blues. CD 2 contains so-called pre-fame recordings, alternate takes, and funky live club tracks.

The album opens with one of his biggest hits, "What Have I Done", where the classic blues idiom is filled with saxophone and guitar. "Addressing the Nation with the Blues" is the title track of the reissued album and, along with "I Am Coming Home" and "I Wish My Mother Was Here", is timeless blues and delightful tracks to dream away to. In addition to these characteristic style numbers, the album contains shuffles and songs with a funky edge. The closing track, "You Should Be Proud of Your Daughter", features one of those characteristic long musical intros; it is a song with a hypnotic repeating groove and top-notch vocals from Byther. The only song not on "Addressing the Nation With the Blues" is a beautiful instrumental rendition of Bill Wither's "Ain't No Sunshine".

CD 2 opens with two pre-fame tracks, Thank You Mr. Kennedy and Champion Girl from 1962, two songs in the style of Little Richard with that rock 'n' roll sound. "Give Me a White Robe Part One and Two", "Money Tree", "Come in This House" - delicious blues. It is the entire feel of this compilation album, by this relatively unknown bluesman; the album breathes pure blues. As for the live recordings, it is not known where they were recorded, but the sound and the experience in the recordings are fantastic; it makes you feel like you are sitting in a Chicago blues bar. The closing track, "The Thrill Is Gone", and JB Lenoir’s "Talk to Your Daughter" are masterful. Byther Smith, sadly deceased, was a hardworking Chicago bluesman, and his blues shines through on this album. /Jos Verhagen, The Blues Magazine

Byther Claude Earl John Smith (April 17, 1932 – September 10, 2021) was an American blues musician who worked with Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Otis Rush, and Junior Wells. Born in Monticello, Mississippi, Smith's early music experiences revolved around gospel music. Orphaned, Smith was brought up by his uncle and aunt. In his teenage years he moved to Arizona to work on a cattle ranch and played in a country and western band on weekends. He worked in construction and local farmhands taught him to play the double bass. Around this time Smith showed an interest in boxing, so his aunt bought Smith an electric bass guitar to encourage him to follow a musical path instead.

Smith migrated to Chicago in the mid-1950s with his wife, Etta Mae. In the early 1960s he began performing in clubs, learning guitar from J. B. Lenoir (his first cousin who had encouraged him to migrate), Robert Lockwood, Jr., and Hubert Sumlin. He worked regularly as a rhythm guitarist for Otis Rush. During this period he recorded a number of singles with labels such as Bea & Baby, Cruise and Apex but in 1965 returned to his gospel roots with a group called the Gospel Travellers. In the 1970s he joined the house band at Theresa’s Tavern where he worked for five years, often playing with Junior Wells. In 1974 he recorded various tracks with Sunnyland Slim for Slim's later album 'She Got A Thing Goin' On'. In the late 1970s, Smith toured with the likes of Big Mama Thornton and George "Harmonica" Smith.

After years playing in clubs all over the world, a demo tape Smith recorded became the album Tell Me How You Like It, released by the Texas-based Grits record label. His next release in the United Kingdom was Addressing the Nation with the Blues for JSP Records. In 1995, Smith retired from his job at Economy Folding Box Company after twenty-five years, allowing him to focus fully on music. Smith retired from touring in 2015. Delmark Records boss Bob Koester observed, "There's a mellowness there that is disappearing in all but B.B. King". Byther Smith died in Chicago on September 10, 2021, aged 89.

Personnel: Byther Smith (guitar, vocals): Mike Baietto (guitar); Bruce Felgen (bass); Joe Pusateri (drums).

Morgan Freeman is bringing one of his deepest musical passions to record. Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience, due September 25, 2026 via Decca Music, celebrates the history and continuing power of Mississippi Delta blues by placing the Ground Zero Blues Club Band alongside Chineke! Orchestra. With new arrangements by Martin Gellner and guest performances from Taj Mahal, Keb’ Mo’, Shemekia Copeland, Alvin Youngblood Hart and more, the album connects raw blues tradition with the scale and color of a symphony orchestra.

For Morgan Freeman, the blues is not simply another musical genre. It is tied to place, history and identity — especially the sound and legacy of the Mississippi Delta. With Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience, that long-standing passion becomes a full-scale recording project. Freeman serves as producer and narrator, helping shape an album that brings traditional and contemporary blues voices together with the breadth of a full orchestra.

At the center are the Ground Zero Blues Club Band and Chineke! Orchestra, connected through new arrangements by conductor and composer Martin Gellner. Gellner, whose credits include work connected to Hans Zimmer Live, created the orchestral arrangements for the project, allowing familiar blues songs to retain their grit and emotional directness while gaining a much larger cinematic frame.

The album was recorded between two studios with very different but equally powerful musical associations: Royal Studios in Memphis, Tennessee and Abbey Road Studios in London. That combination feels appropriate for a record built around movement between musical worlds. Memphis brings direct connection to Southern soul and blues traditions, while Abbey Road provides the space and technical scale required for the orchestral side of the project.

The result is designed as more than blues songs with strings added behind them. The arrangements aim to let the band and orchestra interact, giving classic material new shape without stripping away the raw character that made the songs endure in the first place. [---] Freeman’s role is central to the identity of the project. His narration links the music to the larger cultural history behind it, helping the album function as both a musical experience and a journey through the Delta blues tradition.

That makes the title Symphonic Blues Experience more literal than promotional. The record is built around contrast: a blues band grounded in groove, feel and improvisation, surrounded by the breadth and dynamics of an orchestra. The concept works best when those worlds remain distinct enough to create tension. The blues should still sound like blues. The orchestra should bring scale without smoothing away the rough edges. That balance is precisely what the project sets out to explore. /The Blues Magazine

He and Chris Gestrin spent four years making Dig Deep, creating an exciting soundscape, never turning into just a wall of sound however many instruments they put on a track. With a good voice, expert instrumental skills, both on the guitar and on percussion, Marsland is at times absolutely brilliant. Start your journey with this CD by, for example, listening to tracks 6-8. First you get "Belly of a Whale," a lovely blues work song pastiche, that could have passed for traditional, beautifully executed. Then the rocking "I Don't Know About That," followed by the moving "Lay Your Head," which could have found its place on a Peter Gabriel album (and I mean that as high praise indeed). Almost 18 minutes of sheer musical pleasure. Track 2, bluesy "In Good Hands," and track 11, the soulful "Peaceful Man," reach the same heights. Five tracks that would stand out on any album by any artist.

Bullfrog Brown hail from Estonia and Snakes and Devils is a mixture of Delta and Chicago blues.

The vocals have a distinctive Estonian characteristic about them and only adds to their unique interpretation of the blues. After all, the blues belongs to the whole world.

Their passion for the blues really comes across on 13 track CD of home spun blues numbers, albeit borrowing some cotton from existing blues garmentsbut dont we all. Snakes And Devils is primal earthy blues with an honest delivery. Good musicianship throughout with some authentic acoustic slide and harp. /Paul Bufton

The Hitman Blues Band sound powerful and energetic, with an expressive forceful energy, able to produce a syncope at the first opportunity, so if you suffer high blood pressure o any other heart disease, this is not the best CD for you. Anyway, Russell "Hitman" Alexander on vocals and guitar, Kevin Rymer on keyboards, Mike Porter on bass and Ed "The Hat" D’Alessio on drums, form an enviable four musicians band with an amazing rockin' blues groove and Americana music.

Also notable is their mastery good team work and their commitment along the twelve songs included on the CD. Russell is also an excellent song-writer who signs eleven of the twelve songs on this album. The last one is a funky adaptation of Son House's Death Letter. So here comes a CD conceived and done with an extreme passion and positive mind. /La Hora Del Blues

"I think my favorite lesson from the blues is that real gold is found somewhere scattered and buried in the dirt, waiting to be found by the ones who seek it."

One Hand Dan (Daniel L. Russell) is a 29 year old ex-professional wrestler turned blues musician from Alabama. Born with one hand in Splendora, Texas, his can do attitude is inspirational to many. Dan always wanted to learn the guitar but never pursued it because he never thought he would be able to play it well enough to try. Well, he didn’t actually purchase a guitar. He acquired it from a friend who took it out of the trash from a remodeled Ruby Tuesdays. A short time later he met his wife Lizzie who inspired him to change his life around and live and give 110% again. She bought him his first cigar box guitar kit. After building that first kit, the hallway to their 2nd floor apartment became a permanent workspace. At the time, Dan was pulling 60 hours a week loading beer trucks and saved money to buy his first Resonator guitar. Inspired by slide guitar, he knew the right equipment was important to his sound. With his gorgeous guitar, he began to perform locally on the streets of Muscle Shoals.

After years of living in the Shoals, Dan and Lizzie moved to Tuscaloosa where he had a vision of a 3 neck cigar box guitar. Dan’s love for country and Delta blues started seeping into his performances. As a pro wrestler, Dan knew how to work a crowd, knowledge which became very helpful to this struggling musician. Dan loves to start random conversations of hilarity with strangers, oft times during his performances. Dan has been included on two Tuscaloosa tourism videos, and performed at a number of venues, festivals, and street corners. Festivals include Chicago Cigar Box Guitar festival, Clarksdale Juke Joint Festival, Flying Monkey Cigar box guitar Festival, Oxford Fringe Fest, Lowebowe Stage at Deep Blues Fest, and Nickel Guitars at Bonnaroo 2014, and recently a featured artist in "W.C Handy, Mr. Handy's Blues". Keep an ear out for the cries of delta blues slide guitar and an eye out for the infamous homemade instruments and minnow bucket tip jar.

Keith Dunn Band plays rhythmic trance blues for dancers and music lovers. It is a unique four piece group; harmonica, two guitars and drums, no bass. Their deep groove, multi-styled songs are driven by a hypnotic beat with the heat of a hot southern night. The audience feels the emotion from the band - the mood is intense, a dance party is guaranteed. The strength and appeal of the Keith Dunn Band is the band itself. Four enthusiastic, sharp-dressed musicians of diverse ages, from four different countries, who are all masters of their instruments and who, as a band, love the challenge of making each concert better than the one before.

Keith Dunn is the band's Boston born, charismatic front man. He learned his profession performing for many years in venues across America along side the masters of blues, jazz and rock and roll. This is evident in his stage performance and flowing playing style. His distinctly percussive, inventive harmonica lines dance with the melody of the songs. He has a voice you would find in an American juke-joint.

Personnel: Keith Dunn (vocals, harmonica); Renaud Lesire (guitar, vocals track 7); Bart De Mulder (guitar); Alex Lex (drums).

Willie Mabon, born in Memphis, Tennessee in 1925, was a blues singer, pianist and songwriter, who was very much of the Chicago school of blues performers, and enjoyed a career peak with two US R&B No. 1s in 1953, although he never reached the long-term heights of some of his more renowned contemporaries. He eventually moved to Europe in the 1970s to become part of the thriving blues scene in France and the UK.

This 42-track 2- CD collection comprises most of his releases during this era on the Apollo, Aristocrat, Parrot, Chess, Mad, Formal & Solar labels, plus other Chess recordings which were not released at the time. It features his two No. 1 R&B hits, “I Don’t Know” and “I’m Mad”, and his 1955 R&B Top 10 hit “Poison Ivy” along with other notable recordings including Willie Dixon’s “Seventh Son”.

As a city blues artist, his songwriting often had a wry, tongue-in-cheek approach to social commentary, and his music had an urbane and stylishly streetwise feel, which comes across through this trawl across the primary era of his career.

Michael Milligan and the Altar Boyz describe their unique sound as "Texas blues with Louisiana attitude". This is what happened when they combined their ethnic mixture of original sounds. Front man/lead singer Michael Milligan, raised in Angelton, Texas with roots In Louisiana, has been a working musician since the early 70's playing out of Iowa, Colorado and Houston as a lead singer and drummer. Moving to Austin in 1990 Mike then became a front man for the band Memphis Train, and from 2000 thru 2004 he was the front man for Delta Roux playing in the states and in Western Europe releasing two CDs thru the Taxim Label out of Germany.

In 2000 Michael began playing harmonica and very quickly became one of the premire harp players in Austin, and in 2005 he was asked by bassist Leland Parks to front for the Altar Boyz. Since that fateful day, the band has played over 900 gigs all over Texas and beyond. From Alpine to Dallas, Nashville to San Angelo and in between, the group has been gaining a true blues following of fans and friends. After just one month together, they made their first live CD and soon after their first live DVD. Finally in 2006 the band recorded and released their first studio CD called "Going Up" on the indie label Doc Blues Records. The title comes from the CD cover picture taken in the Austin famous Driskill Hotel elevator, but implies much more. Their second CD, "Holdin' On", was released in 2007.

They have opened bigger shows as well with names like Johnny Winter, Jerry LaCroix, Derek O'Brien, David Grissom, Nick Curran, Gary Clark Jr., Anson Funderberg, Whitey Johnson, Vallejo, Miss Lavelle White and others. Mike Milligan's composing and lyric talents haven't gone unnoticed by the local, national and international media as well with glowing reviews in Blues Review Magazine, Blues Matters, Music News-Houston. The Bastop-Smithville Times music editor Terry Haggerty raved about the combo in another shining live performance review on May 22, 2008. Michael Milligan is know as "the voice" on 6th Street and very often compared to the vocal stylings of Junior Medlow. Since Austin lost world famous blues mentor and club owner Clifford Antone a few years back, folks realized that he was Austin's own version of a blues society.

But since then, the new Austin Blues Society was created and has a monthly ABS open blues jam at Antones originally hosted by Michael Milligan and the Altar Boyz and in 2009, for the first time ever, Austin held the local International Blues Society Competition. From all the worthy entries, Michael Milligan and the Altar Boyz were judged the best act to represent Austin, Texas for the 2009 IBC Finals in Memphis, Tennessee. Austin, Texas has the reputation for producing some world class bands, musicians, artists and one of the latest is Michael Milligan and the Altar Boyz. On June 16th 2011, Michael Milligan was honored by the Austin City Council by proclaiming that day as "Michael Milligan Day" in Austin, Texas. In 2013 Michael Milligan and the Altar Boyz released their third studio CD entitled "My Time". /Amazon

The audience is invited to listen when the grand ballads are performed with intense vocals in the lead, and the dance-friendly numbers make it difficult to sit still. The strong vocals are complemented by sweaty solos from a tight band, where everyone draws on extensive experience. When Camilla Lindstrøm Blues Band takes the stage, it can be felt and it makes an impression on both the soul and the dancing feet.

Personnel: Camilla Lindstrøm (vocals); Lau Mortensen (guitar, harmonica, background vocals); Kenneth Slot (piano, organ, background vocals); Jan Hangstrup (bass); Jesper Fuglsang (drums).

While growing up in Miami, Katriva Tabitha Riggins was instilled with a love for music. Her parents’ record collection included R&B, soul, gospel, hip-hop, country, and rock ‘n’ roll. Her primary influences soon became Nina Simone, Tina Turner, Etta James, and Koko Taylor. Riggins landed a gig singing jazz and blues standards at a lounge in Sunny Isles, Florida, and in 2011 toured Asia and the Middle East with a top-40 cover band. She recorded her debut album, Lily Rose, in 2014. Riggins opened the 2016 Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk Blues Festival and later that year released her highly anticipated sophomore effort, Blues Revival, on Bluzpik Records. She followed up with 2018’s In the Boys Club, also on Bluzpik, and dedicated the album to the early blues women who first busted down the clubhouse door. Follow-up recordings include 2020’s Cry Out, 2022’s Progeny, and 2024’s Revival. This is Riggins’ seventh album overall.

Lead vocalist Riggins is accompanied by lead guitarist Erik Guess; multi-instrumentalist Tim Mulberry; backing vocalists Shaelyn Mulberry and Tim Mulberry; and on one track, Timya and Tamia Mulberry. The album was produced by Tim Mulberry at the House of Berry Productions in White Springs, Florida. On all songs, the lyrics are by Riggins while the music is by Tim Mulberry. Riggins’ punctuation carries each tune. [...]

Everyday Is Saturday is a reminder that joy, freedom, and real connection don’t have to wait for the weekend. It’s a soundtrack to the kind of house party where old friends gather, strangers become family, and everyone is welcome exactly as they are. Whether there is a passionate debate, a budding romance, or somebody dancing, the music keeps the energy alive and the possibilities endless. Rooted in the spirit of old-school “rent check” parties, these songs celebrate the full range of human experience. They invite you to laugh, dance, sing, or cry your eyes out without judgment or apology, because that’s what great blues has always done. /Richard Ludmerer, Making A Scene

The Charles Walker Band released Keep Takin and Hotel Room Blues in 2005. Live and Low Down followed in 2007. The World and Things, initially issued in 2007 and re-released on Lucky 13/BC Records on January 15, 2008, was the group's first to be billed to the Charles Walker Band. /Biography by William Ruhlmann, AllMusic
