When Rivers Meet
British family duo When Rivers Meet will release their fourth studio album Addicted To You on May 23, 2025. The album significantly expands on the band's signature blues-rock sound, bringing an incredible amount of new sonic textures and atmospheric and intriguing production that showcases the ambitious and dynamic music created by When Rivers Meet. The lead single and title track, "Addicted To You", opens the album with an insistent guitar riff, and the double vocals of Grace and Aaron Bond pave an inviting path to the euphoric chorus. The official video, in which husband and wife - double vocalists - share the light equally, exploring hidden spaces, winter landscapes, industrial ruins and sacred bonfires, is a magnificent memorable rock classic.

February Blues Rock 2025 (Feb 16, 2025)
Joe Bonamassa
Blues-rock artist Joe Bonamassa has returned with a new single "Shake This Ground". A bold, anthemic call to free oneself from the past and present, the track pulsates with raw intensity, combining Bonamassa's virtuoso guitar work with a thrilling narrative and unrelenting rhythm.
The song "Shake This Ground", written by Bonamassa in collaboration with James House, tells that hard times have come in a relationship and you need to find a way to shake things up before it's too late. The confident rhythm and soulful lyrics of the song reflect the moment when two people realize the need to break out of a rut and return to what made them strong from the very beginning. Bonamassa's rich, expressive vocals bring roughness and warmth to the track, making every word feel real and lived. Lines like "I'm not saying I have all the answers, because I have more questions than I need," speak to the insecurity that can creep into any relationship, and the powerful chorus is a movement forward, hope, and an inspiring reminder that it's never too late to change everything.
Will Wilde
Will Wilde's new album Blues is Still Alive was released on February 28, 2025 and is already being reviewed on Album Blues Rock. The main single from the album was the title track "Blues is Still Alive", which was released on November 8, 2024. Will Wilde is, of course, a famous harmonica player with excellent skills. Walter Trout plays lead guitar on the title track.The album is a traditional blues-rock album, done right. It is equally inspired by the Taj Mahal, Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker and Gary Moore. Wilde himself said that his goal was to create "straightforward blues material with the same intensity as on albums by Walter Trout or Gary Moore." And for the most part, the album provides just that in high quality.

January Blues Rock 2025 (Jan 20, 2025)
Switchfoot & Buddy Guy
Grammy Award-winning rock band Switchfoot has joined forces with blues legend Buddy Guy to work together unlike anything they've done before. "Last Man Standing" is an explosive fusion of rock and blues, built on sharp guitar work, domineering vocals and an undeniable sense of rudeness. This is a meeting of two musical forces - one a pioneering icon, the other a band that is not afraid to expand musical boundaries.Medal-bearer of Chicago blues, Buddy Guy is one of the last living representatives of the golden era of the genre. With a career spanning over seven decades, Guy has influenced such iconic guitar artists as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and an eight-time Grammy Award winner, Guy continues to shape the future of the blues by carrying its deep traditions.
Having sold over 10 million albums, won a Grammy Award, and gained a worldwide reputation for their emotionally intense performances, Switchfoot continues to evolve. The album "Last Man Standing" testifies to their fearless approach - an unexpected but smooth fusion of their alt-rock roots with the soul of the blues.
Ellie Venable
Texas singer, songwriter and guitarist Ellie Venable has unveiled "Keep Me In Mind", the latest sample from her upcoming album Money & Power, which is scheduled for release on April 18 via Ruf Records. A music video is attached to the new song, which captures behind-the-scenes footage of the band bringing the track to life in the studio.
Venable said, "This beautiful love song conveys vulnerability and a deep longing to be cherished and to keep in the mind of someone who is dear to you. The gentle melody and emotional lyrics speak to a universal human experience - the desire to maintain this intimate connection, even when distance threatens to interfere. It's a poignant and touching track that will resonate with listeners."
