Follow Me (2013) & Up To My Old Tricks Again (2005)
Both albums are not to my taste, travel back to the 1950's with rockabilly & rock n roll didn't like any of the 24 tracks 12 on each record.
Both rating a miserable 0.00.

Girls With Guitars (2015)
Was looking forward to playing this new RUF records 2015 GWG, after the amazing 2011 incarnation with Fish, Wilde & Taylor.
Disappointed was my first thought, the playing is exceptional but the vocals are such a let down, none of them can sing & the choice of songs is poor.
Sometimes sounding like one of these dreadful 1980's american chick rock bands.
Rating 2.50.

Down to Believing (2015)
Read this album was recorded after a few personal lows, divorce from Steve Earle & son diagnosed with autism.
Verging more on country tunes than blues, the lyrics contain some angst of blues to give a balance, but overall it's a good album of personal reflection.
Quiet album when in the mood, rating 4.15.

Sound & Color (2015)
Think I've got a paradox here, always looking for new original music then when in comes round I want to retreat into my comfort zone!
Loads more plays required to appreciate this album fully, impressed with Gimme All Your Love.
I know this has the potential to make the top ratings, will take time & plays. Didn't like a few tracks, eg The Greatest.
For now my rating is 3.50.

Tail Dragger (2007)
The British blues rocker delivers an highly enjoyable record. Web for more info  http://www.innessibun.org.uk/index.html
Lovin' some of the riffs and excellent guitar playing, voice ain't bad and the songs are well produced. Another great find from James.
Rating 4.25. 

One For The Road (2004)
Fine album of Delta Blues, no frills just honest simple arrangements of acoustic and electric blues music.
Liked this album, rating 4.25.

Wild About My Baby (2012)
Bad start with a version of the religious durge Amazing Grace, admit, they play it well.
As for the rest, sounds to me like another club band recording their set covers, just no originality and pretty poor vocals through out.
Disappointed with this style of blues, bandwagon blues!
That said I can't fault the playing, songs and vocals were the let down.
The more I hear the worse it gets, awful songs. Rating 1.50.

Wait Till The Morning (2013)
Danish blues band's debut album is class, a musical experience to behold.
What first impressed me was Kasper Osman's vocals along with impeccable playing.
Not your typical blues, blues rock album has many variations that all work well.
Rated 4.25.
