Sk1Bum 9,444 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Nils Lofgren, Mountains was released on July 21, 2023. "The latest, Mountains, doesn't stray far from his musical patterns: loosely wound roots rock laced with the folk, blues and R&B traditions of the '60s. Lofgren is a product of his generation, and at 72 he's not throwing too many curves against those expectations. Old friends Young and Starr drop by, and so do David Crosby (who died in January) and jazz great Ron Carter, providing a backdrop for songs about political upheaval, love connections and another late rock 'n' roll icon, Charlie Watts."

Sk1Bum 9,444 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Gov't Mule, Peace... Like A River was released on June 13, 2023. "...the album never gets lost in pointless pyrotechnics or overstays its welcome. The instrumental excursions are tightly-focused and serve the songs, covering everything from psychedelia and riff-driven blues rock to funk and soul with concise finesse. With Heavy Load Blues being my favorite album of 2021, my expectations for Peace…Like A River were quite high. To merely say that they have been met would be an understatement. Boasting sharp songwriting, tight arrangements, and stellar musicianship, Peace…Like A River is excellent and ranks among Gov’t Mule’s best works. Highly recommended."

The album was produced by the team of Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith and is released digitally on October 28th on Keeping the Blues Alive Records. It will also be released in CD form in the UK in November and released worldwide on vinyl in December. Prior to the album’s debut, two singles from it were released. The first was “Fade Away” and the second was the title song “Nobody’s Fool.”" You can read the rest of the review here... I know this one is almost a year old, but I just discovered it, and when I heard this title track and the album's produced by Joe Bonamassa, on his label, and with him playing on Won't Get Fooled Again... Yeah, it just belongs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk1Bum 9,444 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Mammoth WVH, Mammoth II (Wolfgang Van Halen) was released on August 4, 2023. "On his second album as Mammoth WVH, Wolfgang Van Halen once again goes the one-man-band route, writing and performing all the songs. Mammoth II doesn't move far from the basic outline of 2021's self-titled debut, checking off boxes in the starting-gun riffs, easily digestible lyrics and impassioned vocals categories. There's not a lot of originality here, but there isn't much to dislike either. As far as torch-carrying goes, Van Halen does the family name proud." You can read the rest of the review here...
