#albumbluesrock 34/2025 There aren't many releases left this year. Today, we're continuing our review of new releases for 2025, finishing our extensive review of 1997, and we've got two records from 2016 and 2020 in store. Three of the 10 records are reminiscent of female-driven blues rock.

Voodoo Ramble - In The Heart Of The City (2025) Voodoo Ramble is a renowned and successful blues band that released their fourth album, "In The Heart Of The City," this year. It's become a cornerstone for the band, embodying everything Voodoo Ramble has accomplished to date. It sounds energetic, with a bluesy heart, thanks to well-crafted songs that are truly expressive thanks to Boris's passionate vocals. As band leader Boris Zamba says: "This is the fourth album and probably the best to date." But that's up to the listeners and radio stations to decide! It could have been called 'Collaboration Blues' because of the people who played on it. But I decided to call it that the moment songwriter and lyricist Pete Feenstra sent me these amazing lyrics, everything fell into place." The album also features special guest Muddy Manninen (ex-Wishbone Ash, Black Pearl), who brings an intuitive feel and plays majestic slide guitar on "Midnight Ride." British blues legend Mick Pini adds his unique tone to the aptly titled "I'm A Bluesman Baby," and Marcus Flynn, affectionately referred to by Zamba as "fingers of rage," delivers a fiery slide guitar solo on "4000 Years Old."

Rebecca Downes - A Storm Is Coming (2025) Rebecca Downes has never been one to play it safe, and "A Storm Is Coming" feels like her boldest move yet. Across ten tracks, this energetic Birmingham singer expresses heartbreak, endurance, and self-healing on an album that is both soothing and explosive. From the title track, she makes it clear that this is an album built on strength and radiance. Her vocals are like a hurricane wind, cutting through guitar riffs and the warm Hammond organ provided by her longtime collaborator, Steve Birkett. There's both fire and sophistication, and it's this tension that defines the album's appeal. The album's emotional core runs through its contrasts. "Never Gonna Take You Back" is striking in its melodic quality, while "Falling Into You" feels more open, offering a romance and release reminiscent of Halestorm's finest melodic balances. Her songs also possess a timeless quality. Even when she leans toward modern production and crisp guitar lines, her delivery evokes the courage and honesty of classic blues-rock. The true strength of "A Storm Is Coming" lies in its compelling nature, demonstrating that resilience and melody can coexist without compromise.

Laura Evans - Out Of The Dark (2025) Laura Evans returns with her second album, which is set to cement her musical reputation, complementing her daytime broadcasts on BBC Radio 2, and her recent tour supporting Robben Ford. "Out Of The Dark" was produced and co-written by Ian Barter (Paloma Faith, Amy Winehouse, Dermot Kennedy). “I poured my heart and soul into this album,” Laura said. “It has big pop choruses, introspective bluesy ballads, Southern rock, and even a dreamy interlude. It’s everything I love, wrapped in honesty. I worked with some amazing collaborators on this album who really pushed me both songwriting-wise and vocally, and I think these are some of my best songs to date.” It’s truly a musical mix, from the pop-oriented “Honest” (which rightfully earned primetime airplay on BBC Radio 2’s breakfast show) to “Superman” (written about her husband), an uplifting anthem about love. Laura Evans shows off her bluesier side here, with the uptempo single “ATM” and the slow, bluesy ballad “Nobody Loves Me Like You Do.” I'm not sure which musicians play on the last song, but they delivered some delicious bluesy solos and a gentle, hypnotic rhythm.

Jimmy D. Lane - Long Gone (1997) The versatile bluesman Jimmy D. Lane is equally adept at handling both traditional Chicago blues and blues-rock; Long Gone is a fine example of the latter. Turning up the volume, the singer and guitarist showcases his love of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan in high-octane originals like "Obsession Babies," "White Tears," and "Whiskey." Their influence is hard to miss in these songs, as well as in his passionate interpretations of John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom," Albert King's "California," and Hendrix's "Hear My Train a Comin'." And in Muddy Waters' "Rollin' Stone," listeners are reminded of the artistic debt Hendrix owed Waters. But it would be wrong to think that Lane is deliberately trying to emulate Hendrix or Vaughan. Their influence is there, but when Lane expresses his rock side, he still remains himself. Those who discovered Lane with his next album, Legacy, might be surprised to hear how much more metallic his guitar work has become on the equally excellent Long Gone.

Lisa Guyer Band - Gypsy Girl (1997) Lisa Guyer's first album. Born on October 25, 1963, Guyer is considered an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Born into a musical family that performed in their community, Guyer learned to sing and dance at the age of four. Guyer is completely self-taught in vocals. Sally Erna of Godsmack describes Guyer as having a "phenomenal voice and a four-octave range." As of 2016, Guyer was an assistant professor at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Thomas Blug - Electric Gallery (1997) Electric Gallery, the outstanding second disc from Strat master Thomas Blug, features 11 tracks (52 minutes) of stunning, brilliant, top-notch, stellar TOTAL GUITAR instrumental music of the highest caliber. Thomas Blug is a remarkably gifted guitarist who combines incredible technique with a soulful blues feel, complemented by an abundance of classic Strat tones and brilliant compositions full of depth, power, and melody that underpin his stunning fretboard playing; all of this makes him one of the finest exponents of outstanding TOTAL GUITAR music in the world. His melodic dexterity and sense of rhythm are unmatched. Hailing from Germany and recently awarded the FENDER STRAT PLAYER OF THE YEAR (2004) in Europe, Thomas Blug is a seasoned guitar master who has achieved true guitar greatness, whose performance is impressive and inspiring on many levels. Thomas Blug brings "bright new hope" to REAL guitar music and absolutely "shines" throughout the album "Electric Gallery". "Electric Gallery" is an impressive instrumental album with heavy guitar that is HIGHLY recommended for fans of such top-notch guitarists as JOE SATRIANI, ERIC JOHNSON, STEVE MORSE, JEFF BECK, MICHAEL LANDAU, STEVE LUKATHER, SCOTT HENDERSON, FRANK GAMBALE, BRETT GARSED, ANDY TIMM. ONS, Randy McSteen, Greg Koch, PLANKTON, and other world-class guitar masters from around the globe. Thomas Blug is a guitar in the flesh; he plays the instrument the way it was meant to be played.

The Fabulous Thunderbirds - High Water (1997) is considered imperfect but compelling by some critics, while others find it disappointing. The album boasts an experimental sound, making extensive use of drum machines and departing from the band's typical blues-rock sound. Some reviewers praise its gospel and funk elements, as well as Wilson's vocal performance on some tracks, while others criticize the repetitive song structures and lack of memorable melodies. On the other hand, the album should be judged on its artistic merits, and Wilson deserves high praise in this regard. "High Water" isn't as blues-based as Wilson's or the Fabulous Thunderbirds' previous albums - it's bolder, closer to Los Lobos' pop-oriented "Colossal Head" than the T-birds' breakthrough "Tuff Enuff." It features more modern dance rhythms, experimental art rock borrowed from David Byrne, and acid blues riffs that combine acoustic guitar with Eurobeat rhythms (with a nod to Little Axe's Skip McDonald). Of course, it's all blues-based - blues is at the core of Wilson's musical output. But it's a modern blues, which has received mixed reviews in the blues press, as some critics feel it doesn't pay enough respect to the past.

Vargas Blues Band - Hard Time Blues (2016) After a career spanning more than two decades, Javier Vargas releases the VARGAS BLUES BAND album, Hard Time Blues. The album features former Quiet Riot vocalist Paul Shortino, as well as the core lineup of the current touring band: Luis Mayol (bass/vocals) and Peter Kunst (drums/vocals). The songs combine Latin rhythms, blues, and rock with the distinctive guitar sound of Javier Vargas, as well as contributions from Gaz Pearson, Devon Allman, and Tim Mitchell. Recorded in Madrid and Las Vegas, Javier considers the album his best to date.
