12BBB - The Blues Has Got Me - (Blue Ears item 006)

The debut album of the Dutch Twelve Bar Blues Band.  For those who like a mixture of Chicago and British electric blues. Blues veterans J.J. Sharp ( vocals & harp) and Kees Dusink ( solo and slide guitars ) are part of this project. Some excellent blues ballad originals on this album. The introduction tour is very succesful, so that the album is out of print in just a few months was of no surprise. The very last copies are distributed by this website in support of Blue Ears. Plans for a brand new album are already announced on the 12BBB website.

San Pedro Slim - Another Night On The Town - (Blue Ears item 005)

San Pedro Slim toured in Europe with Marc Thijs ( one of James Harman's favourite guitar players) mainly presenting his own material - with strong vocals and dominant harmonica playing. On this album an other experienced line-up. Some world class tracks to discover on this showcase of ' Chicago style touching Jump blues'  harmonica sound. The more interesting considering the fact that the recorded output of this real talent is still limited.

Bill Stuve - Say Man ! - (Blue Ears item 004)

Excellent West Coast standing bass player Bill Stuve recorded with e.g Junior Watson before joining Rod Piazza's Mighty Flyers in the past. Now that he's left the group in 2006 his solo projects are in the picture once again. His latest 2005 album recently was included in the Blue Ears 25 for its excellent compositions and playing in late 40's - 50's style. You can follow the track back and compare with this earlier solo album. 

Blues 'N' Trouble - Down To The Shuffle - (Blue Ears item 003)

Tim Elliot & John Bruce are members of this band which did thousands of gigs and were guesting important blues greats before this release. A dynamic, stomping, gut-wrenching blues sound through the influence of vocalist/ harp playing personality Tim Elliot and a powerhouse rhythm section. It was awarded " Best blues release of the year in the United Kingdom " 

Snatch It Back - Hot Stuff - (Blue Ears item 002)

This band is from Wales and it's their fourth album. As recently explained in an interview for Blue Ears it's their most rockiest one, however their typical tight and straightforward blues sound is present as ever. Leader and founder is singer and harmonica player Chris Rees. Dave Edmunds recorded several of his compositions. Snatch It Back lost some momentum caused by changes of band members in the 90's . Fact is that they were very well received in Europe and considered one of the most promising acts. It's never too late for their albums. 

The Solid Senders - Dig My Wheels - (Blue Ears item 001)

An Austin TX blues sound on this album. Spencer Thomas on vocals in a deliberate simple and raw production based on a guitar, bass and drums foundation. A must for every blues lover as the former bass player of the Fabulous Thunderbirds , the late Keith Ferguson plays an important  role on these recordings.
