DFGCD 8500	CHUBBY, POPA	HOW'D A WHITE BOY GET THE BLUES?	26.04.00	Influenced by blues greats Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy, Willie Dixon, and the three Kings (all of whom he name-checks in the aptly titled "Carrying on the Torch of the Blues"), Popa Chubby (aka Ted Horowitz) brazenly ventures into more contemporary waters while remaining true to his rootsy influences and the spirit of the genre.

DFGCD 8520	CHUBBY, POPA	FLASHED BACK	27.04.01

DFGCD 8530	CHUBBY, POPA	GOOD, THE BAD & CHUBBY	16.04.02	Postmodern blues-rock tradition, but breaking free of the Stevie Ray fixations that distinguished his earlier work by adding bits of jazz and an ever-so-subtle hip-hop underpinning.
DFGDVD 001	CHUBBY, POPA	OFFICIAL POPA CHUBBY DVD	28.11.02	Here' is the DVD made and produced by Popa Chubby. One hour and forty five minutes including images of recent gigs (from all over the world including France, Switzerland, Germany, Holland and New York City), backstage footages, interviews, five videos, The Black Coffee Blues Band live in New York and some nice DVD's extras selected especially for you (i.e the making of of a video, Popa's full discography and productions, 18 pages of biography, photo gallery including original and amazing pictures.

	COLEMAN, DEBORAH	WHERE BLUE BEGINS	28.08.98	Deborah Coleman is a double rarity in the male-dominated world of contemporary blues: she's a female lead singer who's not imitating the bellowing "blues mama" persona so familiar to the genre, and she's one hell of a lead guitar player. Using Luther Allison's backing band, Where Blue Begins is a smooth blend of Coleman's furious fretwork and pussycat purr of a voice. Original Release 1998 CD Blind Pig 5048
VDCD 117	CONNOR, JOANNA	BIG GIRL BLUES	18.11.96	The comparison of Connor to Bonnie Raitt is unavoidable, considering the similarities of their vocal style and skill at slide guitar. But Connor offers a more savage guitar approach, akin to George Thorogood, and she comes on as a bit nastier. The album is filled with impressive guitar work, but the bad-girl pose wears thin after a while.
	CONNOR, JOANNA	SLIDETIME	09.05.98	Connor penned all 11 of the tunes here, co-writing one of them with guitarist Ron Johnson and the other with drummer Boyd Martin; her songwriting chops show considerable added depth and improvement on this go round. Original Release 1998 CD Blind Pig 5047
	GARNER, LARRY	STANDING ROOM ONLY	27.04.98	Original Release 1998 CD Ruf/Platinum 161392

VCD 113	GARRETT, AMOS	OFF THE FLOOR LIVE	20.05.96	This is the first live album of this Canadian guitar virtuoso with the wonderful mellow baritone voice (mindful of foggy nights on the West Coast). He and the band, the Eh Team, are in great form here just moving along and laying down a very satisfying and moving groove. Original Release 1996 CD Stony Plain 1225
DFGCD 8535	GASHOUSE DAVE	WAY TOO COOL	24.05.02	Modern Electric Blues
DFGCD 8489	GASHOUSE DAVE & HARDTAILS	DEEP BLUES 9	26.04.99	David Randall Shorey - Guitar, Vocal, Blues-Rap-Acid-Jazz

DFGCD 8477	GOGO, DAVID	DINE UNDER THE STARS	10.06.98	Original Release 2000 Ragged Pup Records
DFGCD 8509	GOGO, DAVID	HALFWAY TO MEMPHIS	05.10.00	Blues guitarist David Gogo was born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, and received his first guitar at the age of five (having been given a ukulele the year before). He honed his skills for the next decade and, by the age of 16, he was gaining work as a professional musician. Inspired by a meeting with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gogo became even more committed, forming a the Persuaders, which went from a post-high school band to one that was soon opening for acts like Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy, and Albert Collins. Following a stint in Europe which found the Persuaders opening for the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Gogo signed a solo deal with EMI Records.
DFGCD 8547	GOGO, DAVID	SKELETON KEY	07.10.02	Gogo is a real showman. He begins his blues life very young, touring with his band (The Persuaders) and opening for stars like Johnny Winter, Albert Collins, B.B. King, Otis Rush or John Mayall. After meeting Stevie Ray Vaughan they become friends. Warm voice and howlin' guitar, "Canadian Dave" is back and cuts his third cd on French label Dixiefrog.

DFGCD 8516	GORDON, JAY	EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BLUES	09.04.01	Electric blues guitarist Jay Gordon recorded a series of albums for Blue Ace that inspired comparisons to such legendary guitarists as Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Beginning with Blues Infested (1994), Gordon won much praise from the blues community.
DFGCD 8517	HILL, MICHAEL -BLUES MOB-	LARGER THAN LIFE	07.05.01	Larger Than Life is every bit as good if not better than Hill's first three albums on Alligator, opening with a powerful blast of a cappella harmony. Equally as strong is Hill's slide playing throughout, with additional guitar support from Living Colour's Vernon Reid. The songs are divided into four categories: Love & Lust, Tales From the Hood, Shuffling Into Commitment, and At the End of the Day. Hill always the storyteller again champions the cause of the downtrodden and wrongly accused. "Monticello Nights" details Thomas Jefferson's affair with slave Sally Hemmings now that's taking on a contentious topic. Hills' voice has the familiar comfort of an old friend, creative guitar licks abound, and best of all the songs stay with ya. Original Release 2001 CD Singular 80096
VDCD 117	HOAX	HUMDINGER	20.01.98	British blues-rock group the Hoax consisted of Jon Amor on guitar, Hugh Coltman on vocals and harmonica, Jess Davey on guitar, Robin Davey on bass, and Dave Raeburn on drums. The members were all young students of the blues and had played together since they were in their teens; songwriting and arrangements were worked out together by all five members.
DFGCD 8548	JOHNSON, STEVE	BLUES FROM THE ROADHOUSE	03.02.03	For the first time Steve Johnson is captured live

VDCD 120	LEADFOOT RIVET	SAINT BLUES	26.10.98
DFGCD 8522	MCCRAY, LARRY	BLUES IS MY BUSINESS	20.09.01	Working on General Motors' assembly line occupied a great deal of Larry McCray's time after he finished high school. But he eventually found enough free hours to put together Ambition, his 1991 debut album for Pointblank, in a Detroit friend's basement studio. The stunning set was a convincing hybrid of blues, rock, and soul, McCray combining the interrelated idioms in sizzling fashion. Suddenly, the stocky young guitarist was touring with label-mate Albert Collins.
DFGCD 8434	MCMAHAN, KEN & SLUMPY BOY	AND SLUMPY BOY	17.11.94	Performed with The Georgia Satellites, Jason, The Scorchers & Steve Earle & The Dukes, The Dusters

DFGCD 8451	MONTOYA, COCO	YA THINK I'D KNOW BETTER	17.05.96	With his second album "Ya Think I'd Know Better", Coco Montoya ditches the guest stars and opts for a menu of pure, unadulterated Montoya. The results are quite impressive, to say the least. For the moment, overlook his somewhat pedestrian vocals and just concentrate on his scintillating guitar work. Original Release 1996 CD Blind Pig 5033
DFGCD 8511	NEILSON, ARTHUR	A PIECE OF WOOD, SOME STR	08.02.01	Guitar,Vocal; Worked w/: DoAa Oxford/ Shemekia Copeland/ Better Off Dead/ Felix Cabrera/ James Wormworth/ Popa Chubby/ Jimmy Vivino/ Michael Merritt/ Blue Angel

VDCD 122	PRINCIPATO, TOM	BLUES OVER THE YEARS	24.02.95
VDCD 115	PRINCIPATO, TOM	REALLY BLUE	24.02.97	Original Release 1998 CD Ichiban 24963; Principato's seventh album continues the tradition of strong guitar work coupled with vocals that are less than scintillating but never offensive, wedded to material that's more of a showcase for his playing than it is actual songs.
VDCD 125	PRINCIPATO, TOM	PLAY IT COOL	09.04.01
DFGCD 8461	RAMSEY, BO	IN THE WEEDS	24.02.97	Bo Ramsey's debut is informed by the reverb-heavy sound made famous by Fifties-era Chess label icons including Muddy Waters, Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson; "Sidetrack Lounge" conjures the spirit of John Lee Hooker, while "Big Bill" honors Big Bill Broonzy. More contemporary figures are celebrated on In the Weeds as well the wistful "Desert Flower" is a tribute to Lucinda Williams, who also contributes harmony vocals. Original Release 1997 Trailer
DFGCD 8443	RAMSEY, BO & BACKSLIDERS	BO RAMSEY & BACKSLIDERS	31.10.96
DFGCD 8486	ROBILLARD, DUKE	LA PALETTE BLEUE	06.03.99	Founder of Roomful of Blues and for his short stint with the Fabulous Thunderbirds (replacing Jimmie Vaughan); He was awarded the W.C. Handy Best Blues Guitarist award for 2000 and 2001

	SKIDMORE, JOEY	JOEY SKIDMORE	07.08.99
DFGCD 8545	SMITH, MATT	FREE BEER & CHICKEN	28.10.02	Matt Smith, bluesman from Big Apple(New York) with spicy Texas touch, Country, Delta, New Orleans, Jazzy, Boogie and Americana way.
DFGCD 8442	SOLBERG, JAMES -BAND-	SEE THAT MY GRAVE IS KEPT	14.08.95	Jim Solberg's debut album See That My Grave is Kept Clean is a storming collection of hard-driving electric blues. Before he had the chance to make this record, Solberg perfected his trade by working as a sideman. Those years slinging a guitar paid off in spades, as this record demonstrates. There's a maturity to his style, but there's also unbridled energy the combination is, at times, irresistable. Original Release 1995 CD MP 1117
DFGCD 8453	SOLBERG, JAMES -BAND-	ONE OF THESE DAYS	08.07.96	Original Release 1996 CD Atomic Theory 1120

DFGCD 8531	SULLIVAN, BIG ED	RUN THE BORDER	18.03.02
DFGCD 8475	THACKERY, JIMMY	SWITCHING GEARS	20.01.98	Guitarist-singer Jimmy Thackery's 1997 set stretches beyond the blues. A ferocious rockish guitarist with a vocal style that ranges from shouting to mellow, Thackery is easily the main star of his disc. However the other members of his Drivers are strong (Al Gamble on organ and piano, bassist Michael Patrick and drummer Mark Stutso), and there are features for guest accordionist Chubby Carrier on "Take Me With You When You Go" (a zydeco romp) and singer Reba Russell ("Dancing on Broken Glass") plus a helpful appearance apiece by Lonnie Brooks and Joe Louis Walker. Original Release 1998 CD Blind Pig 5045
DFGCD 8455	THACKERY, JIMMY & DRIVERS	DRIVE TO SURVIVE	03.09.96	Nonetheless, it served as a much-requested anthem of sorts in Thackery's live shows for years to come. "All About My Girl" is a Jimmy McGriff-meets-Albert Collins instrumental, and "Burford's Bop" is high-energy swing. Thackery delivers tough, gritty vocals on the JL Hooker/ZZ Top-style "You Got Work to Do." The bluesiest offering, "Rub On Up," features some serious guitar licks and has lyrics that could make just about anyone blush. The real gem on Drive to Survive, though, is the ballad "That's How I Feel." Drummer Mark Stutso handles the vocals, and both the song and the singing are superb.
