Review: Joe Bonamassa – Breakthrough J&R Adventures (July 18th, 2025) Reviewer – Peter Scallan There is one thing for sure! Nobody can say Joe Bonamassa doesn’t put a shift in! In the last two years he has released two live albums and three studio albums including the Black Country Communion album ‘V‘. I have also […]
Review: Kenny Wayne Shepherd – Dirt On My Diamonds Volume 2 Provogue / Mascot Label Group (September 20th 2024) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Kenny Wayne Shepherd is one of those artists that seems to have been about for an eternity as he started so young. That is because he has, with his first album coming out in […]
Review: Beth Hart – You Still Got Me Provogue / Mascot Label Group (October 25th 2024) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Been a big fan of Beth Hart since ‘Better Than Home‘ and manged to catch her a few times in both Glasgow and London, including the Albert Hall gig for the live album release. Therefore, I […]
Review: Bywater Call – Shepherd Self-release (August 9th, 2024) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Despite the Southern soul/rock roots sound from Bywater Call, they actually hail from Toronto Canada. I have been hearing a lot about this band but not actually heard anything, so looking forward to this album, which is their third. The band are a […]
Review: The Commoners – Restless Gypsy Soul Records (July 5th, 2024) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Another band that has recently come to my attention is The Commoners. They appeared in a playlist on Spotify and sounded right up my street. A band I know nothing about, they are a four piece usually augmented by a regular […]
Review: Robert Jon & The Wreck – Red Moon Rising (Journeyman Records June 28th, 2024) Reviewer: Peter Scallan I don’t really know much about Robert Jon and the Wreck, other than the odd song on Plant Rock. However, what I have heard has piqued my interest, so I jumped at the chance to do this […]
Review: Joe Bonamassa – Live At The Hollywood Bowl J&R Adventures (June 21st, 2024) Reviewer: Peter Scallan I can already hear the groans and the cry of, ‘Not another Bonamassa live album!’ Over the last decade or more the pattern that has emerged is one of new studio album, followed by a live album. I […]
Review: Joanne Shaw-Taylor – Heavy Soul Journeyman Records (June 14th, 2024) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Joanne Shwa Taylor has been a bit hit or miss for me down the years. I first saw her in a club Las Vegas March 2018 and she was superb. However, late that year I saw her at Stone Free Festival […]
Review: Stan Bush – Dare To Dream Cargo Records (November 20th 2020) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Stan Bush is no stranger to me as I loved some of his 80s output, back when my hair was blond and well-coiffured and my waist was six inches smaller! I was fortunate enough to see him at Firefest a […]
Review: Kenny Wayne Shepherd – Straight To You: Live CD/DVD Provogue (November 27th 2020) Reviewer: Peter Scallan I haven’t heard that much Kenny Wayne Shepherd until last year’s album entitled ‘The Traveller‘ which I thought was excellent. Therefore, although looking forward to giving this a listen, I was obviously limited by knowledge of his back […]
