If you like blues, if you love soul, and you think the two combined are the best thing since sliced bread, you’ll want to get yourself a copy of this album.

Tedeschi Trucks Band, formed by husband and wife, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, might have assembled one of the best touring jam bands ever.

DaSilva claims James Brown, Johnny Cash, Robert Nighthawk, Elvis, Buddy Guy, and Muddy Waters as just some of his influences.

This is not a party album, nor is it “easy” listening. Migration Blues hit us like a knock-out punch, right in the feels.

A little gospel, a little bluegrass, a little rock & roll, and whole lot of soul make ‘The Richmond Sessions’ a delightful must-have.

We couldn’t help but think this is what H.B. Reese must have felt like when he first combined chocolate and peanut butter.

“…the sheer quality of the performances, the rarity of the recordings and the presence of the legendary Ali Farka Touré on guitar, make this recent release an event well worth celebrating.”

The closer Amy Black gets to “home base,” the better her music becomes.

‘Tug of War’ has grit. It has depth. It showcases the songwriting talents of Gina Sicilia in a whole new light. And, it has a place in your collection.

‘Honest Woman’ is a what a great album is supposed to be; Unrelenting, captivating, and holding us so we don’t want to let go.
