It is safe to say that, among all the many music genres, the Blues is one of the very few styles of music that stays with an artist forever. It's like a comforting blanket, a window to the soul, a way to interface yourself with your spirituality and this is not our website saying but rather the multitude of Blues artists that our website has had the privilege to meet through the last two decades.
The Italian Harmonica Maestro, singer/songwriter and Grammy-nominated artist Fabrizio Poggi knows for certain what the Blues is all about. He breathes and lives the genre every day on his own skin, he sings, plays and writes about it. Moreover, Poggi's deep love and appreciation of Blues has been universally recognized in every part of the world where the Italian artist has performed through the years and his many talents, including his irresistible power of communication, allowed Poggi to gain the highest respect from his fellow Blues artists and the many thousands of fans he has around the globe.

One of the most incomprehensible mysteries of the music business involves one of the most beautiful voices of Blues and Soul of the last half a century and the reason why he doesn't seat, solely commercially speaking, on the same throne of fellow artists such as Al Green, Donny Hathaway or Robert Cray, just to mention a few.
At the age of 73, the American singer and songwriter William Pollak, better known as Billy Price, is still today one of the purest and finest singers you can possibly hear on a worldwide scale and an artist that has defined the beauty of Soul music, in particular, through his legendary live performances and hugely accomplished studio albums, like his latest called Dog Eat Dog, also reviewed by our website back few years ago.

For the last good decade, Rock'N'Roll has not been able to reinvent itself very much. There have been the occasional exceptions, here and there but, fundamentally, not many music artists have been capable to reignite that fire brought by the Prog or Psychedelic Rock of the late 70's, the Hard-Rock or Heavy-Metal of the 80's or the Grunge of the 90's.
It is therefore a relief, every so often, to come across to a record that embraces different stages of the last 5 decades of Rock'N'Roll, translating them in a more personal and contemporary form like the brand new record of the American guitarist and singer/songwriter Jared James Nichols.
