This is a track from Australian artist Mikey J, and it’s…. Bluesy! It’s a slow tempo track from his new album “Wondering”, and it’s lyrically it’s a reassurance about how his love would never change. It starts off with a set of questions: “Do you ever wonder if this life would be the same? If …
Joe Adhemar has released a new album. Let’s break it down shall we? “The Synesthete” available on Bandcamp Found Out This is a great track to kick off the album with, very bluesy, I like the way vocals have a slight delay to it, the main guitar riff has chromatic notes in there, and …
A bit of bluesy country in the playlist! I’m not sure whether I want to line dance or do the dosie doh, but it’s a bit of a jolly tune, and I love the fiddle playing. The double bass is up there keeping time too, and it sounds like they’re having a jolly old time …
As tomorrow is 63 years since Buddy Holly, along with Richie Havens and The Big Bopper died tragically in a plane crash I thought I’d commemorate this with my favourite Buddy Holly song. I have memories of jamming this on the piano with my friend Simon and him singing and playing on a battered acoustic …
Drums! Bass! Guitar! Hammond! Horns!Loooooooord the Hammond!!!!! And the star of this song that voice. This is so soulful, I can just imagine Dakota Jones rocking up to Jimmy Fallon’s looking at The Roots, uses the Force to connect with Questlove and then him counting this off like his Afrocomb is on fire and then …
When I first heard this, I could hear influences of the Rolling Stones in the intro, especially in the guitar tone, and then it gave away into a bit of an blues rock anthem vibe… The melody is infectious, as evidenced in the verse, two chords on each line swapping back and forth between F …
Kingfish is back with another track, a remix of a song from his album “662” – and what a song! Over a sparse beat Kingfish wonders where does the hate come from, along with his signature guitar playing giving the real blues flavour. He sounds fantastic here and he doesn’t let up. The first verse …
Marie Keane – “Shadow” WHOAH. The funk is strong with this one. This is Marie Keane’s lead single from her upcoming album “MNÁ”. And you know what? It’s INCENDIO. That’s fire in Portuguese. Why? Well, the Latin percussion with claps that ring takes you from Marie’s native Ireland to the streets of Brazil with the …
The thing I like about this song is its quirkiness, the intro makes you think it’s a soulful slow jam, but when the beat drops, it’s anything but. What do I mean? Well at around 0:10 a trumpet comes in, and then we get treated to a scratch, straight into the drums, bass, and guitar …
Hello Kelly, how are you? I’m doing well. Always making music! Congratulations on the release of “Collaborations” how does it feel? Like a weight off, really. I have been with these songs a long time and it feels great to get them out. It is quite a project, having been recorded with lots of people …
