Dabro Music releases Warm Acoustic: Guitar Samples

Rick Estrin & The Nightcats: The Hits Keep Coming (Alligator; 48:53 ★★★★) Rick Estrin and his nattily dressed band are among the few seated at the head table in the royal court of blues. They, and their seventh album, are that good. Estrin’s a born entertainer with a zany streak, a master harmonica player, a sly lyricist, a solid tunesmith and a saucy singer delighting in the peculiarity of his own voice. He exudes authority, as does guitarist Kid Andersen. The other Nightcats, organist Lorenzo Farrell and drummer D’Mar Martin, customize their work to fit Estrin’s best-ever batch of tunes and one each from Muddy Waters and Leonard Cohen. Guest zest from gospel vocal trio Sons of The Soul Revivers.

The Cactus Blossoms - Minneapolis-based brother duo Jack Torrey and Page Burkum - have shared “Something’s Got A Hold One Me” today, the album opener from their upcoming new collection Every Time I Think About You (August 30 / Walkie Talkie Records). A slice of pure Saturday night two-steppin’ joy, The Cactus Blossoms draw inspiration from timeless greats like Jimmie Rodgers - whose “Tuck Away My Lonesome Blues” served as a lyrical launching point in their writing process (and whose “Blue Yodel No. 1” is referenced in the first verse). But tracked with the brothers’ longtime bandmates Jeremy Hanson (drums), Jacob Hanson (guitar) and Phillip Hicks (bass) - as well as engineer/mixer Alex Hall (JD McPherson, Nick Lowe) - “Something’s Got A Hold On Me” is enrapturing in its exploration of motivations and desires in our modern world.
