Undoubtedly the slowest week of the year so far for new contemporary blues & blues rock releases. This is also the first week I can ever recall two artists releasing a cover of the same song….Oh Well!!!
Recordings Out Now – Albums
Mark Knopfler – One Deep River

This is another great Mark Knopfler recording with a mix of chill blues and roots tunes.
Midnight Burst – A Mazy Night

This blues rock group hails from Lyon, France. They get Popa Chubby and Fred Chapellier to sit in on a couple of tunes including their version of Oh Well.
