  • Dave Riley / Bob Corritore to release 3rd CD this fall! Cover Art unveiled! The road tested, rowdy, down-home blues formula of Dave Riley & Bob Corritore will see its 3rd CD release on Sept 17th with Hush Your Fuss. Bob and Dave have been making music together since 2005 (8 years) and there is an unspoken sameness of purpose in their performances. The CD is titled Hush Your Fuss! and will be released on the Southwest Music Arts label in tandem with the VizzTone Label Group. Rarely these days do you find such an album of down home blues songwriting as will be presented here for this set of mostly original songs. Here is a sneak peak at the beautiful CD cover designed by Tony Amato and with a great image by photographer Dave BlakeClick here to see.  
  • Bear Family Records releases the complete early recordings of Dr. Ross! Isaiah "Doctor" Ross was a Mississippi born singer/guitarist/harmonica player who was often known as a one-man band for playing these instruments simultaneously (harmonica in a neck rack) along with foot-pedaled drums. He would become popular in Memphis and develop a repeated riff melodic that became is trademark. His recordings are deep south down-home blues at its finest. So it is with great pleasure that we can say that the amazing Bear Family label has released Juke Box Boogie featuring 32 vintage recordings (1950s and early 1960s) from the SunChess, and Fortune labels. For more information on this great recording click here! For an example of Dr. Ross's sound click here.
