“Lessons in Love”, the new opus from the Buttshakers, is a deeply comforting record and the perfect antidote to face the winter and its inconveniences. With this new album, the band leaves behind the turmoil of the world around us and focuses solely on love, striving to stay as close as possible to soul’s original vibration. Yet another proof that they’ve truly mastered the craft.

Eric Bibb has often proven in the past that he never stops reinventing himself. But with One Mississippi, he goes one step further and reaches the sublime. At 73, he still manages to reinvent a style one might have thought set in firmly established codes. Eric Bibb gives us the feeling that he continues to write an essential page of blues history, and grants us the privilege of witnessing it. It’s blues as a way of living, a way of surviving, a way of loving.

The list of artists who crashed spectacularly when attempting a new musical direction is quite extensive. Yet by seasoning his blues with rock, soul, funk or reggae, Bo Weavil pulls it off and delivers an excellent record, achieving the feat of blending tradition with evolution. Shadows is the ideal calling card for discovering Bo Weavil. If you’re the kind of person who thinks there’s no need to scream like a banshee to be convincing, you’ve come to the right place.
