Re: Albums to lookout for in 2022

29th April sees the release of debut album Bonham: Bullick

"Deborah Bonham and Peter Bullick, along with their band and special guests, have recorded a new Blues, Rock and Soul inspired 13 track album Bonham-Bullick, a joint project songbook of some classic and obscure composition interpretations spanning seven decades. The album, produced by Bonham and mixed by Tim Oliver at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, takes you on a fascinating journey with songs from the greats such as O.V. Wright, Johnnie Taylor, Albert King Sam Cooke and Ann Peebles together with more modern-day luminaries such as Bernard Fowler (Rolling Stones), Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees) and Chris Wilson. Throughout the recording process, Bonham and Bullick have shown a deep respect for the original songs whilst reaching deep into their hearts and souls to make each song an exciting new adventure for the listener."

Jamie McLean Band - Paradise Found

After delving into a lot of Southern Rock bands, I've also kept an eye on McLean's music.  This is a nice little album with many flavors from the 70's.  JM will never be confused with Joe on guitar, but he's more than capable picking.  I like his singing and enjoy these songs.  Will be a top 10 album for sure this year.

Here's a duet off another album I have that I like.  I'm a big fan of Marc Broussard and it looks like he and Jamie are enjoying this Steve Stills cover.

Re: Albums to lookout for in 2022

A one that's off-genre, but a guitarist always worth listening to is Bernard Butler and he has a new release in collaboration with Irish singer jessie Buckley (as in Tim Buckley's daughter).

I can't find any YouTube of the pair together, but here's a recent clip of Jessie performing the song Glasgow (from the movie Wild Rose):-  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwezASGXxvE

If you like that (and who wouldn't?) the album For All Our Days That Tear The Heart drops 10th June.

Re: Albums to lookout for in 2022

Picked up Blackberry Smoke's Stoned album and I am enjoying it,  It's a far cry from the funkiness infused in The Main Squeeze's covers, but good playing of one of my favorite bands (Rolling Stones).

Re: Albums to lookout for in 2022

Rising band Brave Rival release their debut album Life's Machine on May 6th. Their sound is described as a soulful collision of Heart and Tadeschi Trucks, with unusual dual female lead vocals.

You may recognise a couple of familiar faces in the line-up if you're checking YouTube, former Albany Down (amongst others) alumni Donna Peters and Billy Dedman (who used to post on the forum, back in the day) provide the rhythmic backbona.

I confess to not following this kid prior to Mike's post for his new "covers" album.  I did however get his Aquarius album and the quality of the songs are impressive.  I tacked on his Jonny Lang single, "Lie To Me" which has always been a favorite of mine.  With two greats like Oli Brown and Wayne Proctor involved with his current releases, Toby really delivers on Aquarius.  Darn good stuff and highly recommended.  Thanks Mike for the alert!
