Women of Blues Rock, and other genres, have similarities like deep-raspy-powerful voices, headbanging tempo on rock songs, etc. However, singer-songwriter-actress Dana Fuchs has special traits that not all artists possess. There is something different and deep about Dana Fuchs that people should know about.

This music is unique and powerful. Borrowed Time has 12 tracks. If you are looking for new headbanging songs, you should indeed listen to “Double Down On Wrong”, “Save Me”, “Hard Road”, “Not Another Second on You”, “Last to Know”, and “Star”.

The perfect morning energizer track goes to “Save Me”. It has a unique melody and straightforward intro, cool powered bass, and beautiful piano and effects. This track is so perfect, you can use it as your morning ringtone or use it for workout motivation.

Speaking of motivation, the confidence booster song “Star” has this line “…You’re gonna be a star, you better believe that you are..” It brightens up your mood and keeps you working to reach your dreams. Indulge the guitar solos in 1:52-2:34 and in 4:00-5:28.

If you’re up for tracks with long intro instrumentals, listen to “Double Down On Wrong” & ‘Hard Road”. The first 26 seconds of “Double Down On Wrong” have smooth instrumentals with an anti-cheater theme, while “Hard Road” has 20 seconds of guitar solo and then a blast of drums and bass come.

If you’re a bassist, observe the bass authenticity of “Last to Know”. Fell in love with its unique melody like it is speaking to us. Its lyrics have another anti-cheater theme like “Double Down on Wrong”, as well as “Not Another Second on You”.

Expand your poetic knowledge with some solemn and acoustic tracks: “Blue Mist Road”, “Call My Name”, “Curtain Close”, “Borrowed Time”, “Nothing You Own”, “Lonely Lie”.

Spirit-enlightening songs “Call My Name” and “Borrowed Time” show the goodness of the music and the lyrics just cleaned my heart and made me want to listen to it more.

“Borrowed Time” reminded me of “Wonder life” by Do As Infinity, a Japanese pop-rock band. Acoustic rock songs are effective to cure depression. There is not much aggression and attitude. There’s a beautiful balance of strength and calmness.

There’s a friendly warning not to go down the “Blue Mist Road”. Very poetic storytelling, and great atmospheric sounds.

Dana Fuchs is an artist with a mission to express the importance of life. There is always an impact whenever she writes lyrics with life lessons. Dana showcases her relatability with the ups and downs of everyday life with Borrowed Time. The Review: 9/10 ~Mary Jaira Reyes

Dana Fuchs - Love Lives On

01. Backstreet Baby (4:00)
02. Ain’t Nobody’s Fault But Mine (3:34)
03. Callin’ Angels (3:47)

It’s tempting to think that the Internet destroyed the music business, but music has always been driven by economics, to a certain extent. When touring became too expensive, the big bands became smaller bands. It had less to do with choice than with salary. But there’s still a place for that large, lush sound. Even in this streaming age. Dana Fuchs shows that with Love Lives On.

Love Lives On has an old-fashioned sound. There are horns, there’s guitar, there are backup singers. And then there’s her voice–a voice that rumbles and growls while still managing to flash just the right amount of vulnerability–leading this huge swell of voices and instruments through each song. The result is an album that perfectly marries the rich production of 1960s soul music and the more natural sounds of the early 1970s.

“Backstreet Baby” the lead track, grooves, thanks to a simple rhythm guitar riff that supports the song as the horns, backup vocals, organ, and of course, Fuchs, mesh perfectly over it all. “Callin’ Angels” is like a lost Motown track, slowly building in intensity, as guitar and organ are eventually joined by those incredible horns and backup vocals. “Sittin’ On” is a funkier, bass-driven song, but with a wonderfully sad chorus melody.

The album isn’t just about soul, though. “Ready to Rise,” is a straight-up rock song, albeit one with some definite soul-inspired touches. But it’s as much power ballad as it is anything, as the horns and background singers take a rest. “Battle Line” has a Band vibe, with lush organ and guitar. “Fight My Way,” a country-folk number, is even more stripped down, with just Fuchs, guitars, and mandolin. Her cover of “Ring of Fire” is similarly stripped down, but with a sweetness and vulnerability that reimagines the song as a question, rather than Johnny Cash’s petulant statement.

Fuchs is at her best when she’s pushing her voice. She sounds great in the less densely produced songs, but when she’s in the thick of a wall of sound, she’s extraordinary. Not many contemporary artists have the voice to survive in this kind of rich, throwback production environment. Fuchs thrives in it. ~by Steven Ovadia

[5:18] 10. The Way It Is

The one and only Popa Chubby, the big man of the blues, celebrates the 25th anniversary of his career this year, 1989 being the bull’s eye when the blues-rock guitarist blew like a hurricane across the tepid New York City blues scene with his own individual brand of blues, soul, and rock ‘n’ roll. True to form, Chubby is honoring the quarter-century mark of his career with a brand new album, I’m Feelin’ Lucky.

“It’s been 25 years and I’m still standing,” says Chubby in a press release for I’m Feelin’ Lucky. Recording the album at his home studio in the Hudson Valley, the guitarist is backed by a talented group of musicians including bassist Francesco Beccaro, keyboardist Dave Keys, and drummer Chris Reddan. Chubby enlisted the help of special guests Dana Fuchs (singer, songwriter, and actress) and Mike Zito (solo artist and former Royal Southern Brotherhood member) to contribute to a pair of songs on the album, which features some of what Chubby considers the best songwriting of his lengthy career.

The songs on I’m Feelin’ Lucky range from the “baddass funk” of the title track to his personal favorite, “I’m A Pitbull (Nothin’ But Love).” He says “I’m a big dog lover. I have a little pitbull and I love him dearly. They’re a very misunderstood breed. I work with people at a pitbull rescue who work with these dogs and train them to be service dogs for veterans coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s a beautiful thing. There is not a more loyal, devoted and emotionally intuitive dog.”
