#albumbluesrock 39/2025. This year's penultimate release is replete with AI-driven blues explorations of 2025 and rare records from the first and second decades of this century.
Dr. Helander & Third Ward - Wishing Spoon (2025) The album received rave reviews for its authentic, powerful, and distinctive blues sound, combining traditional Chicago/Mississippi Delta blues motifs with a modern, energetic atmosphere. The album was praised for Ilkka Helander's expressive voice, strong compositions, and the band's seamless interplay, especially Esa Kuloniemi's slide guitar, making it a standout release even compared to legends like Buddy Guy. Described as "real blues," it's a solid homage to 1950s Chicago blues, yet it sounds fresh, not simply retro. Ilkka Helander's vocals are the album's highlight: warm, human, raw, and compelling, with a distinctive accent that adds personality. The record features intense, coordinated playing, particularly on slide guitar (Esa Kuloniemi) and harmonica (Janzo Jokelin), creating a powerful sound that blends elements of heavy rock and blues. Some reviewers have compared its quality and impact to recent works by blues giants like Buddy Guy, noting that Wishing Spoon is a worthy album that needs no "age restrictions." Despite being blues, it's uplifting and full of "positive vibes," and the superb musicianship makes it one of the best blues albums of the year.
Blues is, at its core, simple music. But transforming it into interesting and compelling music requires work, dedication, and fine-tuning nuances. For some, this happens quickly, like Peg Leg Howell's guitar work: "It didn't take long. I stayed up all night teaching myself." Of course, that night was also preceded by a long familiarity with the music she played. Compelling blues doesn't necessarily require stunning virtuosity, but, as trite as it may sound, it does require feeling. Yes, blues is, above all, feeling. It's present in the music of Cedell Davis and Charles Caldwell, just as it is in the music of Ilkka Helander and Esa Kuloniemi. Dr. Helander & Third Ward, "Wishing Spoon" is precisely this kind of interesting and compelling blues.
The core trio of Third Ward—Helander, Kuloniemi, and Leevi Leppänen—this time invited Janzo Jokelin to play harmonica. He plays a leading role on the album's opening track, "Congratulations," which immediately takes the listener away from the daily grind. A heavy guitar riff and melodic bass line elevate the sound to a new level, and this rhythm continues for the next 35 minutes. The solo battle between Kuloniemi and Jokelin on this song is a stunning spectacle. The best. In addition to Jokelin, the album features Panu Syrjänen (San-Ho-Zay's version of "Son of Jose") and William Suwanne (an excellent Morgantown-style solo) on saxophones.
"Wishing Spoon" is authentic music, full of essential blues elements. This is already familiar music, even though it only contains one cover version. Half of the songs are named after the trio, and that's certainly a good decision, because Third Ward is The Band.
Mark Easton - Grind (2012) Australian-based Mark Easton doesn't just copy the blues; he reimagines it! He plays a mix of blues, rock, Mongolian, Kazakh, and Middle Eastern folk music. Mark Easton's multifaceted talent has a long history in the music scene, from punk and glam rock to blues! Early in his career, he performed with bands like Cult, Cheap Trick, AC/DC, and Skid Row, among many others.
Giles - Dancing With Dolores (2006) This is indie blues rock. Reviews of the Giles' album Dancing With Dolores (particularly the trio featuring Marcus K.) are scant in the mainstream media, but they point to it as a solid blues-rock record, earning a perfect 5/5 rating from users, particularly highlighting the well-crafted blues tracks like "Just a Shell." Originally released on CD (MTSCD 6 at May Tree Studios), it's now primarily sold on a special USB flash drive. The band, called "Giles," is a power trio consisting of Marcus K. (guitar/vocals), his son Pete (bass), and Terry Shaughnessy (drums).
Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa - Black Coffee (2018) Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa's 2018 album, Black Coffee, received widespread positive reviews, praising their powerful vocals, fiery guitar work, crisp arrangements, and heartfelt reimaginings of classic R&B/blues tracks. However, some critics found it a bit repetitive, and some covers (such as the title track) were less impressive than in their previous work, which overall confirms the album's status as a strong collaboration that highlights their dynamic chemistry. Reviewers consistently praised Hart's phenomenal, husky vocals and Bonamassa's incredible guitar work, noting their effortless synergy. The album breathes new life into the album beautifully.
