In a Blues Rock Review exclusive premiere, stream Jeff Slate’s “Movin’ On.” It’s from the upcoming album, The Last Day of Summer, out May 17th on Schnitzel Records.
About the track, Slate said, “I’ve always wanted to make an old school soul record. It’s the music I grew up on and love and that I listen to more than anything else around the house. That’s a tall order, of course, but this version of “Movin’ On” is at least a taste of what’s been swimming around in my head all these years.”

Finyl Vinyl on one hand is a self explanatory title by one of the first blues rock bands to come on the scene nearly 60 years ago. From “One Last Boogie,” the opening song to “When You’re 69,” it tells the story of somebody ready to call it a day and retire. On the other hand, the band is booked for upcoming shows for much of 2024, which includes dates in Europe. The album includes guest musicians like Dave Alvin who wrote “Blind Owl” and performs it both vocally and on guitar as well as Joe Bonamassa who lets his guitar rip on “So Sad (The World’s In A Tangle).” Drummer Fito de la Parra is th ..read more

In a Blues Rock Review exclusive premiere, watch the lyric video for Jeff Rogers’ “Lock & Key.” The song is from Rogers’ new album, Dream Job.
Lock & Key is a song that captures the excitement I feel coming home from the road to see my partner,” Rogers tells Blues Rock Review. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and there’s honest appreciation in the lyrics with a hint of rose-coloured glasses masking a fear that one might have been gone too long. The rhythm and music represent the more primal longing upon return. It’s a fun song, and the band is electric, especially Kelvin Holly on ..read more

Who was in the band Humble Pie?
Formed in 1969, Humble Pie were an incredibly gifted quartet that never got the credit they deserved for being one of the finest live bands of their time. A vehicle for former Small Faces’ frontman Steve Marriott and one-time Herd guitar virtuoso Peter Frampton, they were joined by a rhythm section of Greg Ridley (Spooky Tooth), and a then 17-year-old Jerry Shirley on drums.
Anointed a “supergroup” by the U.K. music press and public before a note had even been played, their name was a way of humorously lowering these ‘pie in the sky’ expectations. In many ways ..read more
