Manu lanvin best album
Manu lanvin best album
Larkin Poe – Bloom
My vote goes to Manu Lanvin and his Man On A Mission
I voted for Eric Gales. It shows me spam.
Joe BONAMASSA is magnificent been following for 20+ years he’s phenomenal. The music is spectacular. His concerts are amazing. You never want them to end and his music is epic He definitely has the blues running through his veins. BB would be so proud of him. We are.❤️🔥🎶🎸
Kelli Baker hands down. Her songs give me all the feels and her voice is so pure and full of passion. Give it just a little listen – even just a quick little one – and you’ll get it.
Nice list of albums to listen to. Currently enjoying the new Davy Knowles project (w G McAvoy and B O’Neill)
I’m shocked that Curtis Salgado wasn’t listed!
Curtis Salgado is a powerhouse performer (seen him live several times), however, I believe his most recent studio album,”Fine By Me”, was released in 2024.
There’s no better record in this list than The Southern Pt 2 by The Cold Stares. Chris Tapp is a multi-talented songwriter/musician.
If you are not familiar with Kelli Baker, you must take a listen to her new album “GRANITE.” Then SEE HER LIVE! Kelli is a natural performer. If that isn’t enough, her guitarist, Noé Socha will blow your mind!
@kellibakermusic & http://www.KelliBaker.com
Noe is one of the best guitarists I have seen in years. AND HE’S TECHNICALLY BLIND. I stood just a few feet from him and I could watch everything he was doing. And Kelli is one of those soulful powerhouse vocalists. It was the best show I saw all year
OMG, sometimes I forget to breathe while watching & listening to Noé. And Kelli has the passion and intensity of a female version of Springsteen. I’d love to see her invited onstage with Bruce & ESB.
Samantha Fish, Paper Doll…. RAWR!!! ❤️
Best Blues Rock Album in2025. I like It. 👋👋
When Rivers Meet are always on the ball. Proudly and fiercely independent, they got to number 4 in the official album chart with their 2025 album “Addicted To You.” That’s where my vote goes. I simply love this band. 🤘🖤🤘❤️
Go Samantha Fish Go !!!
A Kiss from France😉
Samantha Fish is the best. Hello from France
Robert Jon & The Wreck’s Heartbreak & Last Goodbyes is another outstanding album from these wonderful musicians!
Eric Gales just put out an AMAZING album from the soul bro!!! A Tribute to his late brother Little Jimmy King
Anthony Gomes – Praise the Loud!!!
I’m liking Mike Farris. His Petty cover “Swingin” and “I’ll Come Running” are my faves
Hi.Why isn’t GeminiiDragon’s Moonlight Movin’ and Groovin
by GeminiiDRAGON featuring Linwood Taylor on the list despite my entry?Great album !!!
Erja, you’re the Best. Finns vote Finns ALWAYS!
Oops! I didn’t.
Breakthrough Joe Bonamassa a Creative Album with a diverse collection of emotional and reflective music🤩🤩🤩
Would be cool with a “best live performance” vote.
So happy to see The Boneshakers are here! Definitely a band to keep an eye on, their album this year had Bobby Rush, Coco Montoya, Charlie Musselwhite and other industry greats. No one else sounds like them, a very exciting gumbo of blues, rock, and funk!
GA20S ” Orphan” drops Friday 12 5
That Boneshakers album is 🔥!
Hands down, Anthony Gomes is the winner. A true Rock n Roll Bluesman 🤘🎸💙
Anthony Gomes, Praise the Loud! Absolutely AMAZING!
If you haven’t heard it yet. You’re missing out.
WILL WILDE AND HIS BAND ALL THE WAY!!!👑🤩🤘🎶AMAZING HARP PLAYING,AN EXPERIENCE NOT TO BE MISSED,AS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ATTEND ANY OF HIS LIVE PERFORMANCES, I CAN JUST IMAGINE WHAT AN “OUT OF THIS WORLD”EXPERIENCE IT WOULD BE!!!!!🙏🤩👍. BLUES IS STILL ALIVE!!!!🤘🥇🏆
Anthony and band mates are rock solid. Give them a listen and I’m sure you’ll agree. Excellent catalog of blues efforts!
Anthony Gomes, of course!
Anthony Gomes, great live act and a great album.
Anthony Gomes ” Praise the Loud” Rocks! 🤘
When Rivers Meet, brilliant album and they are getting even better with every release.
Anthony Gomes hands down, you all need to listen to his music. He really brings the rocking blues to life with his style.
Anthony Gomes and band were on fire 🔥 at Sellersville Theater! Great voice, smokin’ guitar, rockin’ songs, cool lyrics, awesome band!
Smokin’ Joe all the way!
Ally Venable Band “Money & Power “ is a great mix of songs and each one is uniquely great. If you haven’t caught on to the Ally Venable buzz? Now is the time.🔥❤️😁
Let’s GO LARRY McCRAY!!!
Larry McCrays Heart Break City
