Delta Generators ride well on Get On The Horse
Delta Generators have just released their third modern blues album, Get On The Horse, and it’s every bit as feisty, gritty, greasy, and driving as their previous two. The boys have expanded their sound but are just as every bit enthusiastic to bring their aggressive take on delta blues to the masses. Mixed by producer […]
Roomful Of Blues outdo themselves on 45 Live
Roomful Of Blues have finally gotten around to making another live album, their third, and 45 Live was certainly worth the wait.

Daphne Lee Martin dazzles with her arrangements on Moxie
Daphne Lee Martin’s latest CD Moxie is ten tracks of original music heavily influenced by the great blues, jazz, and Broadway vocalists of the early 20th century.

Run Gazelle Run rock out with unique edge
Run Gazelle Run are a hard act to define. Their blend of electric-acoustic, singer-songwriter, progressive rock has been well documented on their self-titled debut album.

MC3 strike gold in their own way on A Half Bubble Off Plumb
MC3’s first CD under their new band name(MC4 now that drummer-percussion “Goss” has joined) is appropriately titled A Half Bubble Off Plumb. Appropriate because everything about their music is so different than anything else out there on the Boston scene that it would have been weird if they didn’t have an eccentric album title. The […]
Woodford Way are onto something special with There & Back CD
Woodford Way have released their first full length album as a full band.

Sarah Borrello off to a great start with Exit CD
Sarah Borrello’s debut CD Exit is loaded with edgy rockers based on influences like Tori Amos, Alanis Morisette and Fiona Apple. Whatever tempo she employs for a song, Borrello sings everything with an urgency that cannot be denied. She has something to get off her chest, and she uses that intensity to create sparks. Aside […]
Charlie Farren shows world class talent on Tuesday
Charlie Farren’s rocking sound has matured and grown more sophisticated since the 1980s. While cuts from Farren’s latest album, Tuesday, could have been played on Boston’s rock stations back in the day, some of these songs could find a home on today’s Adult Contemporary stations. The edge is still there, but it’s been smoothed out […]
Ian James continues his clever originality on Human Casualty
Ian James’s latest release Human Casualty is one fun album. Loaded with things that appeal to the ear, Human Casualty has fun in its own way, not copying or imitating any known genres or idioms. Granted, James uses guitar, low end, and drums or drum programming. He just utilizes them in a different way. As […]
