Following the critical acclaim and enthusiastic response to Heavy Sugar: The Pure Essence of New Orleans R&B, compiler Stuart Colman has dug deep into the city s unique recording legacy to bring about a sumptuous second helping. In addition to the requisite sourcings, the net has been cast wider still in order to focus on material gleaned from such picayune outlets as Rustone, Pontchartrain, Athens, Winner and Spinett. There is a very good reason for this. Midway through July 1954, The Times-Picayune (New Orleans powerful daily broadsheet) brought to its readership s attention an editorial issue entitled Music Box Week . The feature centered on a coming together of the area s record industry chiefs, and their declaration that the juke box had become a national institution. Never had a truer word been spoken. Every diner, bar, night club, laundromat and military barracks within the city limits sported a Wurlitzer, a Seeburg or a Rock-Ola, and the multitude of coins dropped into the slots gave rise to a win-win situation. With the coming of rock & roll in the mid-fifties, it was the Big Easy s arsenal of neon Nickel Odeons rather than its radio stations where you could hear the latest sounds first. This gave the shoe-string independents, most of whom were unlikely to accrue a review in the trades or make a programme director s playlist, the chance of some welcome promotion. So, in order to reflect this freewheeling coalescence, names like Johnny Love, Willie West and Alonzo Stewart have been given the chance to rub shoulders with such greats as Fats Domino, Little Richard and Huey Piano Smith. Welcome to Heavy Sugar: Second Spoonful.(Compiled by Stuart Coleman)

Bo Walton - All The Best (2017)
Bo Walton was born in the little village of Marden in Herefordshire, growing up listening to his parents albums of Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly, Billy Fury and Jerry Lee Lewis.
He formed his first performing band when he was 14, dropping in an Elvis or Cochran track here and there.
It was quite obvious how much that style of music had influenced him!
Bo started writing songs, accompanying himself on guitar and, one fateful day, met ex-Rockpile bassist John David.
John recognized Bo’s vocal talent immediately and the two set about writing and recording their material; material that was influenced by the music John had been playing with Dave Edmunds and the songs Bo had grown up with from those old albums.
Through this collaboration, Bo was fortunate enough to have legendary UK guitarists Micky Gee and Mark Knopfler lend their talents to numerous compositions.
Despite being far too young to have witnessed the original Rock ‘n’ Roll genre firsthand, Bo grew up devoted to it.
He all but wore out several of those aforementioned vinyl discs with the enthusiasm he had for emulating every word he heard, especially those from Elvis.
Little wonder, then, that when he came of an age to be making music of his own, first and foremost it was the Rock ’n’ Roll path that he followed.

Mother's Finest - Love Changes; The Anthology 1972-1983 (2017)
A fantastic collection of work from Mother's Finest – one of the more unique groups of the 70s, and one of the few who could equally balance sounds from soul, funk, and rock in their music! There's always lots of heavy guitar on the Mother's Finest grooves – and singer Joyce Washington has a sound that puts her right up there with Nona Hendryx for sheer, raw power alongside a fuzzy guitar solo – a mode that works especially well on the funky tracks, of which there are many on the set! The package brings together lots of unusual bits, plus album tracks – and even includes some of the group's rare early material for RCA, not originally issued in the 70s. 37 tracks in all – with titles that include "Bone Song", "Living Hero", "You Move Me", "Monster People", "Hard Rock Lover", "Big Shot Romeo", "Mickey's Monkey", "Baby Love", "Give You All The Love", "Rain", "Dontcha Wanna Love Me", "Run Joe", "Funky Mountain", "Love Changes", "Secret Service", "U Turn Me On", "Watch My Stylin", and "Can't Fight The Feelin". © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.
2017 two CD collection. Love Changes - The Anthology, 1972-83 is a first-of-it's-kind set by Mother's Finest, considered the premier black rock-and-soul band of the '70s and '80s. This 37-track collection includes the entire 10-track 1983 LP, One Mother To Another, only ever released in Europe and making it's worldwide CD debut. In addition, six tracks that were recorded for the group's first RCA LP (in 1972) and only issued on a now out-of-print US CD in 2010 are also included here along with the team's four charted singles, recorded for Epic Records during their seven-year tenure with the label, other standouts such as 'Somebody To Love,' (produced by Jimmy Iovine) along with 'U Turn Me On' and 'Evolution' from the 1981 LP, Iron Age and key cuts from the group's three Epic studio albums such as 'Give You All The Love (Inside Of Me)' and a cover of the Motown classic, 'Mickey's Monkey.'

Blue Break Beats, Vol. 2 (1967-1975, Blue Note 1993)
A really wonderful collection of grooves that first came to light in the 90s – one that had the Blue Note label digging back in their catalog and completely re-thinking their approach to reissues – given the new popularity of jazz in the hip hop sample world! As you'd guess from the title, the music here is very strongly oriented in the mode of "breaks", or tracks that were sampled for later hip hop and club recordings – classic jazz tunes from the glory days of Blue Note that have gone onto live again, thanks to the keen ears and inventive work of more contemporary DJs and producers. After all these years, The Blue Breakbeats series still stands as one of the best illustrations of the funkier side of the label – and titles on this second volume include "Orange Peel" by Reuben Wilson, "Higga Boom" by Gene Harris, "Jasper Country Man" by Bobby Humphrey, "Good Humor Man" by Blue Mitchell, "Ain't It Funky Now" by Grant Green, "The Kumquat Kids" by Eddie Henderson, "The Phantom" by Duke Pearson, "Spinning Wheel" by Lonnie Smith, "Ummh" by Bobby Hutcherson, "The Worm" by Jimmy McGriff, "The Caterpiller" by Lou Donaldson, "Pot Belly" by Lou Donaldson, "Beale Street" by Donald Byrd, "Viva Tirado" by Gerald Wilson, and "Street Lady" by Donald Byrd. © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Dream Babes Vol. 6 - Sassy and Stonefree (Prime Late 60's Brit Girl Rock & Soul 1966-1972)
Sassy and Stonefree contains wonderfull songs from unknown girl groups and lady singers. There is folky soul, Spectoresqe work, and all kinds of great Motown homage. There is nothing new under the sun with this genre--it was pure fun, formula never made to be inventive. But what a formula. All the work on here stands up as well as "Can't Hurry Love," "Dancin' In The Street," or 100s of other sixties girlie singles we can all rattle off in our sleep. The artists on here are not well-known--a lot of them probably should have been--but it is nice to know there is so much of this stuff out there. Start with this. (Shindig)
Another great volume of mostly obscure or forgotten fun, light-hearted distaff pop tracks from the the late 1960's. The volume covers the years when pop was brassy, sassy and the UK version of the Supremes. Unless you're a completist collector, this CD offers a slew of tasty tracks that are hard to find elsewhere. One of the few series where every volume is pretty close in quality to Volume 1 - well worth adding for fans of 60's pop or women vocalists. (Record Runner)

Bridget Kearney - Won't Let You Down (2017)
In the 12 years she has toured the world as a member of the soul-pop sensation Lake Street Dive, Bridget Kearney has fine-tuned many things - voracious collaborating, acclaimed bass playing, and harmonizing, to name a few. But the skill she has honed most obsessively is songwriting. While still a student at The New England Conservatory of Music, Kearney won the grand prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, a harbinger of things to come. Now, Kearney steps into the spotlight with her first solo effort, a wry, big-hearted pop album entitled Won't Let You Down. The record, like its title, promises not to disappoint. Shades of The Beatles, Wilco, Fleetwood Mac, and even Nick Cave can be detected, as the album swerves from '60s pop to modern indie-rock. (NPR)
Won't Let You Down may be Bridget Kearney's debut album, but she's no newbie; she's the brilliant bassist and frequent songwriter for Boston-bred soul-pop group Lake Street Dive. For her solo debut, she's left behind the easily accessible, G-rated funk her band does best for a brainy, infectious and mature sound.
"Don't listen to that racket / C'mon and let me put my pin on your jacket" she sings on the title track, handily feminizing the power-pop love song narrative, and inviting us into her club. The album's intricate, but never overdone production ties together Kearney's wide palette of songwriting skills. "Serenity" is a good bit of new wave-y pop that's a gorgeous showcase for Kearney's legit jazz training. "Living in a Cave" is beautifully Beatles-ish, while "Love Doctor" is cheeky, grimy and funky, a post-breakup shower belt-out for the ages.
Kearney's been singing backup to Lake Street Dive's powerhouse vocalist Rachael Price for years, so it's lovely that this includes a new version of one of Kearney's songs from Lake Street Dive's last album. Kearney's performance of "So Long" may be less technically perfect than Price's (who has one of those voices that is simply an instrument from God), but her soulful, breathy rendition shows just how much a singer can do with phrasing and emotion.
One would never wish any harm or trouble to Lake Street Dive as a group, of course, but Won't Let You Down is possibly even more enjoyable, and certainly more layered, than their output. If Bridget Kearney can take a little time off from her day job to record this sort of record every few years, the music scene will be better for it. (9 out of 10 Stars)(Signature Sounds)
