ELVIN BISHOP "RED DOG SPEAKS"
|
"The North Bay-based musician remains one of the genre's most distinctive guitar stylists, melding a slashing attack with a keen ear for melody.“ – East Bay Express
"…careening slide and razor-edged bursts, all delivered with unflagging enthusiasm and wit.” – Rolling Stone
“Németh's harp and Bishop's slide make beautiful old music beautiful again.” – Pittsburgh Post Gazette
"Bishop is a good-hearted soul whose life mission is to entertain to the best of his ability." – Downbeat
Elvin Bishop has been traveling the blues road longer than most, and he’s got the stories to prove it – many of which are contained within the songs on this release. Bishop’s long and varied career has included plenty of side trips along the way as well, from deep down gutbucket Blues played in smoky South Side Chicago taverns, to raucous roadhouse R&B, to good time Rock & Roll on concert stages and festivals around the world. And at every stage along the way, he’s instilled all of his music with passion, creativity, and a healthy helping of wisdom, wit, and good humor. Now following on the heals of his Grammy-nominated CD “The Blues Rolls On”, the legendary Elvin Bishop returns with his brand new release “Red Dog Speaks”. Full of strutting Blues and R&B, good-time Rock & Roll, and even an occasional detour through Doo-Wop, Zydeco, and Gospel, “Red Dog Speaks” is sure to make you howl.
MUSICIANS:
Elvin Bishop, John Németh, Roy Gaines, Tommy Castro, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Stanley “Buckwheat Zydeco” Dural, Kid Andersen, Mike Schermer, Bob Welsh, Ruth Davies, June Core, Bobby Cochrane, and many others!!!

"Fletcher favors toothy Strat tones, stinging bends, and flurries of tight, staccato riffs that seem to pop from his fretboard like little firecrackers."
- Guitar Player Magazine
"Fletcher clearly has ensemble dynamics down, suggesting that his years as a sideman have been fruitful. But he's also unabashed as a bandleader, and his guitar work earns its prominence."
- Blues Revue Magazine
"Kirk Fletcher is a young man with a big reputation... he exudes class and style, knows all the classic licks but never resorts to mere copying, always with his own take in his trick bag."
- Blues & Rhythm Magazine
Now Kirk Fletcher's long awaited return is finally here! Produced by legendary Los Angeles guitarist and close friend Michael Landau, "My Turn" finds Fletcher stretching out instrumentally and exploring new sonic territories on the guitar. In addition, Kirk also makes his surprising vocal debut on two songs which include the Jimmy Reed classic “Found Love,” and an ultra funky version of Sly Stone’s “Let Me Have It All.” This is a project that is very near to Kirk, and one that he just absolutely felt compelled to make. So with the intuitively selected album title of “My Turn,” it would only be appropriate to let Kirk have the last word… ”I am so proud of this record. Though it took a while it was so much fun to get together with my best friends and just play! So here you go and God bless you all.”
MUSICIANS:
Kirk Fletcher, Michael Landau, Gary Novak, Travis Carlton, Bobby Tsukamoto, Iver Olav Erstad, Tom Fillman, Paulie Cerra, Luke Miller, Paul Litteral, Dave Melton, James Gadson, Karen Landau

THE MANNISH BOYS
"SHAKE FOR ME"
|
“…an infectious revival of both ’40s jump and ’50s to ’60s Chess-like styles from a band that lives inside the music...”
– Wall Street Journal
“No band makes the old new again
better than The Mannish Boys.”
– Blues Revue Magazine
“It is both refreshing and encouraging to see a song selection that favors a broad range of little-known gems respectfully presented by a deep stable of talent.”
– Living Blues Magazine
2010 heralds the passing of the five year anniversary mark of the birth of Delta Groove Music. Likewise, The Mannish Boys, for whom the label was originally conceived, are similarly celebrating five years of electrifying the blues for audiences the world over. The fundamental concept of the band was simple; assemble a group of like-minded musicians to capture the spirit and joy of this timeless music, and reintroduce it for a whole new generation to appreciate and discover. This project, which was only initially envisioned as a one-time testimony to the power of the blues, has now given way to a new institution privileged with the task of preserving this music and presenting it as a vital, living, breathing entity.
The Mannish Boys fifth album, “Shake For Me,” carries forth the tradition established by their very first effort, “That Represent Man,” by presenting an inspired program of deep, lowdown blues supported by a surprising and ever-revolving unit of world class musicians. Reprising their all-star roles in the band are Finis Tasby, Bobby Jones, Kirk Fletcher, Frank Goldwasser, and Randy Chortkoff, joined here by an entirely new and outstanding rhythm section comprised of Willie J. Campbell on bass (The James Harman Band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds) and Jimi Bott on drums (Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Woodbrain).
SPECIAL GUESTS:
Rod Piazza, Kid Ramos, Mitch Kashmar, Nick Curran, Mike Zito, Arthur Adams, Johnny Dyers, Lynwood Slim, Rob Rio, Fred Kaplan, Andy Kaulkin, &
"Big Pete" van der Pluijm.

NICK CURRAN & THE LOWLIFES
"REFORM SCHOOL GIRL"
|
“Comin' on like a sci-fi hybrid of T-Bone Walker, Little Richard, and Guitar Slim, guitarist/singer Nick Curran is a powerhouse performer who owes a strong debt to blues and rockabilly artists of the '50s.” – All Music Guide
“Nick and his group mix jump blues, boogie, and greasy rock and roll into a perfect stew." – Vintage Guitar
"...just a total ass-kicker."
– Jimmie Vaughan
Nick Curran describes his music as a cocktail consisting of the sounds of no less than seventeen widely differing musicians blended together with a cup of broken glass. That only begins to characterize the wallop packed by the 98-proof elixir of this singer, songwriter and monster guitarist who effortlessly carries the past with him as he blazes across the musical landscape in perpetual forward motion.
“Reform School Girl” is a culmination of Curran’s multitude of talents: a throwback to his roots, only amped up to the limit. “I’ve written more songs on ‘Reform School Girl’ than on any other records. I wanted it to have no filler – only good stuff. All my influences are there, from old blues like Lazy Lester and T-Bone Walker to girl groups like The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las, to Guns N Roses.” The album also features a couple of appearances by some of Nick’s close personal friends including a duet on the song “Flyin’ Blind,” co-written with Blasters’ frontman Phil Alvin, as well as harmonica ace Jason Ricci on “Reel Rock Party.” Catch Nick Curran as he shakes, rattles and rolls a head-spinning combination of genres and tunes into a cool, irresistible cocktail that is rough and ready for action.

THE HOLLYWOOD BLUE FLAMES
"DEEP IN AMERICA" - 2 CD SET |
LIMITED GOLD LABEL EDITION
AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY HERE!
“The Blue Flames are a crew of consummate professionals,
with a total command of the genre.”
– Blues & Rhythm Magazine
“This is a band that does full honors to the past and in their very dedication to replicating that sound with a new, modern approach to the blues that still casts a long shadow today.” – Blues In London
“It’s easy to hear right from the first notes that as great as this band was before, they’re absolutely DEADLY now.”
– Real Blues Magazine
Since arriving on Delta Groove The Hollywood Blue Flames have been hailed as the true torch bearers of classic blues in the modern age. Their unyielding and steadfast dedication to the art form has set the benchmark standard by which all other musicians must strive towards in order to obtain mastery within the traditional blues genre. “Deep In America” follows true to the formula of the band’s previous two-disc set, “Road To Rio,” once again throwing open the vaults and treating fans to a virtual treasure trove of classic archival material obtained from two different eras of the band. Disc one gathers together a collection of recordings by The Hollywood Blue Flames featuring stellar support from guitarists Kirk Fletcher and Junior Watson, all drawn from various studio sessions over the years with previously unreleased material that includes outtakes, alternates and some newly recorded songs. Disc two contains more vintage live recordings taken from a variety of source materials by the original Hollywood Fats Band, showcasing the amazing talent of Hollywood Fats and the evolution the band was undergoing before his untimely death in 1986. “Deep In America” stands as a testament to the strength and power of a band whose music continues to burn ever so brightly after igniting that very first flame more than three decades ago.
