NICK CURRAN & THE LOWLIFES
"REFORM SCHOOL GIRL"

“Comin' on like a sci-fi hybrid of T-Bone Walker, Little Richard, and Guitar Slim, guitarist/singer Nick Curran is a powerhouse performer who owes a strong debt to blues and rockabilly artists of the '50s.” – All Music Guide

“Nick and his group mix jump blues, boogie, and greasy rock and roll into a perfect stew." – Vintage Guitar

"...just a total ass-kicker."
– Jimmie Vaughan

Nick Curran describes his music as a cocktail consisting of the sounds of no less than seventeen widely differing musicians blended together with a cup of broken glass. That only begins to characterize the wallop packed by the 98-proof elixir of this singer, songwriter and monster guitarist who effortlessly carries the past with him as he blazes across the musical landscape in perpetual forward motion.

“Reform School Girl” is a culmination of Curran’s multitude of talents: a throwback to his roots, only amped up to the limit. “I’ve written more songs on ‘Reform School Girl’ than on any other records. I wanted it to have no filler – only good stuff. All my influences are there, from old blues like Lazy Lester and T-Bone Walker to girl groups like The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las, to Guns N Roses.” The album also features a couple of appearances by some of Nick’s close personal friends including a duet on the song “Flyin’ Blind,” co-written with Blasters’ frontman Phil Alvin, as well as harmonica ace Jason Ricci on “Reel Rock Party.” Catch Nick Curran as he shakes, rattles and rolls a head-spinning combination of genres and tunes into a cool, irresistible cocktail that is rough and ready for action.

THE HOLLYWOOD BLUE FLAMES
"DEEP IN AMERICA" - 2 CD SET



LIMITED GOLD LABEL EDITION
AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY HERE!

“The Blue Flames are a crew of consummate professionals,
with a total command of the genre.”

– Blues & Rhythm Magazine

“This is a band that does full honors to the past and in their very dedication to replicating that sound with a new, modern approach to the blues that still casts a long shadow today.” – Blues In London

“It’s easy to hear right from the first notes that as great as this band was before, they’re absolutely DEADLY now.”
– Real Blues Magazine

Since arriving on Delta Groove The Hollywood Blue Flames have been hailed as the true torch bearers of classic blues in the modern age. Their unyielding and steadfast dedication to the art form has set the benchmark standard by which all other musicians must strive towards in order to obtain mastery within the traditional blues genre. “Deep In America” follows true to the formula of the band’s previous two-disc set, “Road To Rio,” once again throwing open the vaults and treating fans to a virtual treasure trove of classic archival material obtained from two different eras of the band. Disc one gathers together a collection of recordings by The Hollywood Blue Flames featuring stellar support from guitarists Kirk Fletcher and Junior Watson, all drawn from various studio sessions over the years with previously unreleased material that includes outtakes, alternates and some newly recorded songs. Disc two contains more vintage live recordings taken from a variety of source materials by the original Hollywood Fats Band, showcasing the amazing talent of Hollywood Fats and the evolution the band was undergoing before his untimely death in 1986. “Deep In America” stands as a testament to the strength and power of a band whose music continues to burn ever so brightly after igniting that very first flame more than three decades ago.

THE SOUL OF JOHN BLACK
"BLACK JOHN - ACOUSTIC EP"

The Soul of John Black is John “JB” Bigham, an adventurous artist who isn’t afraid to take risks while pursuing his musical vision. His stage moniker is a name shrouded with an element of darkness and mystery, inspired by the 1976 cult film “J.D.’s Revenge.” JB declares, “I tend to like artists who lean toward the shadows and walk the edge and wanted my music to reflect that.” He draws his inspiration from blues and soul pioneers of the past and stands as a true testament to the dynamic beauty and freedom of musical expression, which he strips down to the core – guitar, voice and exposed human emotion conveyed in sparse, soulfully captivating performances wrought with raw, spontaneous power.

The Soul of John Black is a celebration of the African American musical heritage. On “Black John - Acoustic EP” JB masterfully reinterprets his favorite songs from his full length album "Black John" by creating acoustic versions which expose their deep emotional roots and his soulful song writing.

ARTHUR ADAMS
"STOMP THE FLOOR"

“His vocalizing has a sweet, soulful quality ala Robert Cray or at times Bobby Bland. And his electric six string takes definite cues from his idol, B.B. King…”
– All Music Guide

“Adams fortifies his distinctive, velvety voice with restrained emotional heat. He's strong enough to be gentle, and confident enough to sing from his heart…”
– Chicago Reader

“Arthur Adams is one of those guns that lay in the weeds, and when the time is right—smack, he’s got you cornered.”
– Blues On Stage

“Stomp The Floor” celebrates Arthur Adams’ return to the spotlight and features his signature brand of soulfully sweet rhythm & blues filled with melodic hooks, classy arrangements and impeccable songwriting, affirming once again Arthur’s status and rightful place amongst the genre’s most celebrated and beloved artists.

MIKE ZITO "PEARL RIVER"

“His bluesy Americana vibe finds an impressively restrained balance between melody and musicianship.” – Blues Revue

“Singer-songwriter-guitarist Mike Zito boasts a road-hardened voice that spews the fiery tales of life’s ups and downs with a serious conviction that’s impossible to ignore.” – Metronome

“Zito’s voice is so incredibly soulful that it can be placed into that diminutive group of elite male blue-eyed soul/blues singers like Steve Winwood, Michael McDonald and Rod Stewart… A fine guitarist and composer as well, it’s a winning combination of a genuine and complete performer.” - Modern Guitars Magazin

Accompanied by the skillfully adept David Z. sitting in once again at the helm of the producer’s chair, along with label CEO Randy Chortkoff, Mike Zito returns with his guitar back to the forefront and revisits his musical roots while still maintaining an emphasis on his affective songwriting. “Pearl River” stands as another solid achievement by Mike Zito who is joined this time out by a handful of special guests including Cyril Neville, Anders Osborne, Reese Wynans (Double Trouble), Susan Cowsill, Lynwood Slim and Jumpin’ Johnny Sansone. The result is a rollicking slice of Americana served up with heaping slabs of greasy New Orleans funk, gritty blues and good old fashioned rock 'n' roll.
