#albumbluesrock 40/2025 Today marks the final release of this year's album reviews. We've returned to the ten-records-at-a-time format to once again trawl the antique store for a selection of rare records from the first and second decades of our era. Furthermore, 2025 has also delivered four noteworthy releases.
Ross Harding - The Blood & The Blues (2025) Ross Harding released his new single, "Revelator Blues," on September 14, 2025. Two months later, his new album, "Blood & Blues," was released. Getting off to a flying start in 2024, Ross supported artists such as Dan Patlanski, Jack J. Hutchinson, and Caitlin Crisco and The Broadcast across the UK. This year, he performed at the Stockport Blues and Roots Festival 2025, appeared as a special guest with The Outlaw Orchestra in Camden, supported riff master Jack J. Hutchinson in Bristol and London, harmonica virtuoso Will Wild in Southampton, and debuted solo shows. The Blood & The Blues is a short album, just 8 tracks, but as they say, leave the listener wanting more. And besides, isn't it better to have eight killer tracks than twelve less-than-killer ones? It opens with "A Thousand Snakes (Deluxe Version)," which sets the tone for the entire album. His voice, emerging from the darkness, tells us he's been to hell and back, with the timbre, richness, and rawness you'd expect from a tormented merchant. The acoustic opening, with rich electric notes rising from the abyss, is intoxicating and magical. What sets Ross Harding apart from his contemporaries is the primal, primitive sound of his songs, voice, and playing. It seems as if he's truly playing and singing to save his soul.
Bourbon House - Have At It (2025) Bourbon House is a US blues-rock band best known for their 2023 albums, The Fourth Album, and 2021's Into The Red. Both were previously featured on our Album Blues-Rock channel, and several tracks are still on our Female Blues-Rock playlist. The style remains the same - modern rock with a strong '70s blues-rock influence, inspired by Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. Lacey Crow's powerful vocals are captivating, Jason Clarke's guitar riffs are incendiary, and the lyrics are captivating. Thanks to Crow's vocals and Clarke's riffs, Bourbon House should be considered alongside Dirty Honey as one of the most promising bands inspired by classic '70s rock. Have At It demonstrates a truly deep understanding of the genre and an ability to modernize it. What's particularly impressive is that Bourbon House have created a unique sound, rather than a banal reworking of what was popular 50 years ago. Without a doubt, the album sets Bourbon House apart from its contemporaries. Overall, it's an authentic, energetic rock album that continues the band's upward trajectory and offers timeless rock 'n' roll with a fresh sound. It's worth checking out in its entirety.
Fat.Mo.Mac - Fat.Mo.Mac (2015) The debut album by Fat.Mo.Mac, a hard rock/blues side project featuring Candlemass (Lars Johansson and Mats Levén), received generally positive reviews. It was praised for its heavy, bluesy riffs reminiscent of classic guitar heroes (Hendrix, Blackmore) and Mats Levén's raspy vocals, but some critics noted that the lyrics lacked memorable melodies, making the tracks at times lackluster despite the musicianship and excellent solos. Overall, the consensus is that it's a solid, bluesy hard rock album that pays homage to the '70s, with strong guitar work and standout tracks like "Gearshifter" and "Cold Woman," but perhaps not innovative enough to compete with contemporary bands.
To record this album, Johansson turned to several fellow musicians and friends. They included vocalist Mats Levén (Candlemass, Yngwie Malmsteen, Therion, etc.), guitarist Klas Gunnerfeldt (Psycosomatic Cowboys, Primate Life, Backwood Preachers, etc.), bassist Thobbe Moen (Gotham City, Oz, etc.), and drummer Stefan Gunnarsson (Janne Schaffer, Raj Montana Band, etc.). In addition, guitarist Roger Eklöf, who was present at the project's inception but tragically died before its completion, contributed to three tracks. Johansson's approach to classic blues-based hard rock can be compared to the early work of Leslie West, perhaps with a hint of Stevie Ray Vaughan, even Pat Travers. But overall, his approach is heavier, certainly not as lively as Travers's (though Gear Shifter comes close). They're heavy, harsh, even a little awkward, as the riffs are simultaneously rough and hard, as if grinding meat and bone. There's a groove underneath, even a touch of the natural smokiness of classic blues. But this isn't Muddy Waters or B.B. King. There's no subtlety in his approach. The calmest songs, if you can call them that, are probably "Get Home," a rather relaxed affair, and "Memories Is All There Is," a truly dense, slow, and heavy composition.
Glenn Hughes, The Alchemist - Songs From The Westside (2002) Former Deep Purple/Black Sabbath vocalist Glenn Hughes appeared on THE ALCHEMIST's album Westside. According to LedSled's official press release, "THE ALCHEMIST is the brainchild of composer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Karl Kennedy, who most recently was the drummer for THE GREG LAKE BAND. Westside is a collection of masterfully crafted songs that blend complex tribal rhythms with guitar passion, creating powerful blue-eyed soul ballads. Comparisons to TRAFFIC, KING CRIMSON, SEAL, SADE, and STING come to mind."
The Alchemist's "Songs From The Westside" is generally considered a solid, well-crafted album, blending funk rock with heartfelt ballads. While some reviewers have noted the lack of a truly memorable hit, they have praised Hughes's unparalleled vocals, complex rhythms, and dynamic range, drawing comparisons to Traffic and King Crimson for his fusion style, demonstrating Hughes' talent for crafting catchy and complex songs. Expect a mix of soulful blue-eyed soul, passionate guitar work, and tribal rhythms, including power ballads and funk-rock grooves. The record showcases bass-heavy tracks, elegant guitar solos (performed by the likes of Ian Crichton and Søren Andersen on other projects), and dynamic arrangements. The album is considered a solid, well-written album, but some critics felt it didn't quite reach the heights of Hughes's best work and lacked any truly large-scale tracks, according to Metal Temple Magazine, though it was still a very enjoyable listen.
The Devil & Abbe May - Hoodoo You Do (2009) Essentially a blend of voodoo blues and country blues, the album was praised as a "chaotic," "mesmerizingly beautiful," and "disarmingly humorous" release, showcasing Abbe May's powerful vocals and a gritty, dark blues style with elements of country blues, characterized by unbridled energy, eccentric charm, and a classic blues sound. This release is a unique blend of dark, soulful blues and humor, and fans call it a standout work in the dark blues genre from the Australian artist. but with a beautiful sound, raw, soulful, and full of energy. Abbey May's vocals are praised as powerful, compared to the "ten-ton black man" blues singers, which enhances the album's impact. Produced with minimal resources (six musicians, five days, four chords), it gives it a raw, authentic sound. In other words, it's a "five-star album from a five-star eccentric." Overall, Hoodoo You Do is considered a unique, iconic blues work from Abbey May's early career, offering a captivating blend of raw blues power and inimitable individuality.
Chris Duarte Group - Vantage Point (2008) This disc is full of powerful Stratocaster sound, killer blues hooks, and lyrics that get the point across. Duarte's virtuoso guitar playing is on full display on tracks like the aptly titled "More Boogie," where he pierces the listener with his clear (yet still incredibly sharp) tone. The rousing "The Best I Can Do" is an improvised, call-and-response affair with some truly memorable guitar and vocal lines. The pop-rock "Babylon" is a true showcase of Duarte's mastery on this disc: a noisy, funky rocker that culminates in a melodic, soaring solo that demonstrates his versatility. He should experiment with this kind of thing more often. The same can be said for "Woodpecker," a jazz-funk instrumental that once again demonstrates his ability to reach beyond just one genre. Duarte's vocals are always sincere and high-quality, even if they sometimes simply serve as a bridge between solos. And Joseph Patrick Moore (bass) and Jeff Reilly (drums) provide the perfect backing.
Variously called the "John Coltrane of guitar" or SRV's natural successor—especially since his 1994 album "Texas Sugar/Strat Magik" - Chris Duarte is one of the most powerful rock/blues guitarists you'll ever encounter. Over the years, he's built a solid catalog worthy of higher praise than comparisons to SRV. There may have been a few albums where his playing outshone the songs, but "Vantage Point" is noticeably better, and his collaboration with Japanese band Bluestone Company seems to have recharged him. And while he explores the boundaries of his powerful rock/blues style, the aptly titled "Infinite Energy" brings him back into the groove, doing what he does best: masterfully playing guitar and showcasing his signature raspy voice.
