The Excitements - Breaking the Rule (2016)

Led by the sassy soul siren, Koko Jean Davis - who channels the spirit of Etta James and a pre-solo career Tina Turner - Barcelona-based septet, The Excitements, have been impressing European audiences since they began life back in 2010. Interest in them really began to take off in 2013, when they released the acclaimed album 'Sometimes Ain't Too Much.'  Now the group are back with a brand new album, 'Breaking The Rule,' which will certainly excite aficionados of retro-soul with its old school aesthetics and musical values. On record, Ms. Davis is a magnetic performer and dynamic vocalist who brings a soulful American authenticity to th774e band's music. Their horn-laden sound is steeped in Stax, Chess, Atlantic and early '60s James Brown and Motown. It's raw, passionate and captures the gospel-powered spirit of vintage soul music, and stylistically has an affinity with the work of fellow R&B revivalists, Sharon Jones & The Dapp Kings and the James Hunter Six.
The combo's latest 45, 'The Mojo Train,' gets the set under way with a locomotive groove while 'Fire' - a cover of Gino Parks' 1962 Tamla 45 co-penned by Brian Holland and Mickey Stevenson - is a rabid R&B rave-up that's delivered in incendiary style. 'Wild Dog' is even more combustible - Davis' raspy vocals counterpointed by blaring horns - while 'Take It Back' is calmer and more measured and shows greater emotional sensitivity. The title track, a searing, Otis Redding-style deep soul ballad, is the perfect showcase for co-writer Koko Jean Davis's dramatic delivery. Another strong  original tune is 'Everything Is Better Since You've Gone,' penned by the group's guitarist Adria Gual, which is a rockin' slice of vintage-sounding rhythm and blues.  Indeed, the band's own material is as strong as some of their covers, which also include their unique takes on Chuck Berry's 'Back To Memphis' and a rip-roaring reading of Lonnie Mack's instrumental, 'Chicken Pickin'.'
This is a very impressive showcase and it's no surprise that this highly-touted Spanish R&B group is big on the festival circuit in continental Europe. There's an opportunity for UK audiences to see the band live when they play at London's Brooklyn Bowl on Thursday 29th September. On the evidence of this sensational LP, it should be quite a night.

Hannah Williams & The Affirmations - Late Nights & Heartbreak (2016)

Late Nights & Heartbreak, the sophomore album from Hannah Williams, marks the official arrival of the British vocal powerhouse. With a top-notch band, the Affirmations, behind her — and a renewed commitment to the soul sound re-popularized by artists like Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley, Williams has carved out a deep, strong groove.
Williams’ confidence radiates throughout Late Nights, but nowhere is it more evident than in her vocal approach. Her gritty tone on “Fighting Your Shadow” contrasts smartly with her backup vocalists’ sweetness, while the palpable urgency in her cover of “Dazed and Confused” harkens back to the biting original by the American songwriter and jingle writer Jake Holmes. Throughout Late Nights, Williams’ band matches her bombast ounce for ounce; the guitars fly by weightlessly, making liberal use of the wah pedal, and the bass lines—particularly on tracks like “Fighting Your Shadow” and the glitzy “Ain’t Enough”—hit like a sucker punch.
Yet even with its walloping blasts of sound, some of the album’s strongest moments are its most subdued. On “In Your Arms,” Williams sings with a sugary sweetness that offers a salient counterpoint to her scathing howl, and album closer “Your Luck Can Change” evokes the elegance of Sam Cooke. These moments don’t merely capture Williams’ versatility, but remind us, thrillingly, that we can’t be too sure what she will tackle next. (The Guardian)

Stax infused Muscle Shoals-deep soul shizzle positively radiates throughout this tour de force of a platter.Ms Williams is on top form, a belter with amazing force at one end and a more subtler plaintive yearning heroine on the other.Opening track, the gospel inspired 'Tame In The Water' (despite its well worn chord sequence) is a mission of intent heavy, heavy,heavy! It's just a taster for what develops into a real rollercoaster of a ride-top tunes, ace ensemble playing, (most notably guitarist Adam Holgate,John Pratt on Baritone sax and drummerJai Widdowson-Jones) beautifully bolstered by the crisp,awesome production of Malcolm Catto (Heliocentrics,Quantic)

Don Rich & The Buckaroos - Guitar Pickin’ Man (2016)

There are many reasons Buck Owens and his Buckaroos were the hottest band in the world in the 1960s and 1970s, but one is certainly the work of multi-instrumentalist Don Rich. As evidenced on the 2013 reissue of That Fiddlin’ Man, Don certainly knew his way around 4 strings, but his guitar work was his calling card.
 
Guitar Pickin’ Man showcases Rich’s skill and innovative playing by collecting 17 tracks from 10 releases from Buck and The Buckaroos, and adding the previously unissued title track recorded for and during their time on the television classic, Hee Haw.
 
Not just a perfect primer for the uninitiated, but also a fantastic aural journey for fans—Guitar Pickin’ Man features notes from Don’s sons Vance and Vic Ulrich as well as photos from their personal family collection.
 
Experience the work of Buck Owens’ band-leader, friend, and musical trailblazer, Don Rich—the Guitar Pickin’ Man!
