No barriers. No boundaries. That's always been Ghalia Volt's approach to American roots music.

Freedom's first album after drummer/singer Bobby Harrison totally revamped the lineup was typical lumpy British hard rock circa 1969, with nothing in the way of interesting songwriting or instrumental innovation to grab one's attention. In a way, they made for an ideal support act for an emerging and insecure headliner; they weren't going to upstage anyone. Sometimes they would leave off the generic blues-flavored hard rock for poppier or folkier material with harmonies, but melody and originality were not present in abundance. And it's playing a losing game to record covers of the Beatles' "Cry Baby Cry" and the Zombies' "Time of the Season," both of which had just been released, in much better and more popular versions of course, by the original artists; the Howlin' Wolf covers don't do the master much credit, either.

The Rolling Stones are teasing their new album, Foreign Tongues, with a new single, “In the Stars.” That song, along with the bluesy “Rough and Twisted,” which they teased with a grassroots campaign billing themselves as the Cockroaches, lead off the 14-track LP.

For a number of years, Bjørn Berge has proven himself to be a unique guitarist and formidable live artist.

This release showcases the dual soul of Marcus King: the fiery guitar slinger and the sensitive, old-school soul crooner. Transitioning from his early years with The Marcus King Band to his more experimental solo work, these tracks capture an artist who is comfortably redefining the boundaries of Southern Soul and Blues-Rock. "Darling Blue" is a masterclass in atmospheric songwriting. It leans into a hazy, psychedelic R&B vibe where Marcus’s voice floats over a bed of vintage organ and tasteful brass. In contrast, "No Room For Blue" (often appearing in live sessions and as a hidden gem in his catalog) brings the grit back to the forefront. It’s a showcase for his "howling" vocal style and his ability to make a guitar solo feel like a direct extension of his heartbeat. Together, these tracks represent the bridge between the raw energy of his youth and the sophisticated, world-weary artist he has become.
