This winter will be red hot with the release of Johnny Winter’s Live Bootleg Series Volume 6 on Friday Music, the latest collection of super rarities hand-picked by the iconic blues man from his personal archives. Like its five predecessors in the series, Vol. 6 includes rare and historical musical moments from Winter’s 40-plus year career. Here, he pays homage to some of his favorite artists and their songs such as Ray Charles’ “Blackjack,” Freddie King’s “Sen-Sa-Shun,” Texas blues man Frankie Lee Sims’ “She likes to Boogie Real Low,” and B.B. King’s classic “It’s My Own Fault,” as well as two of Winter’s classic originals: White Line Blues and Johnny Guitar. Release is January 12.

The Dirty Guv’nahs new CD, Youth Is In Our Blood, produced by two-time Grammy-winner Justin Guip (Levon Helm, The Black Crowes) at Helm’s renowned barn/studio in Woodstock, NY is the follow-up to their eponymous 2009 debut. It is a hot, roiling stew of gritty, soul-influenced rock ‘n’ roll, mixed with a hefty helping of roots, funk, blues and country. It’s the sound that has earned them the distinction of being voted Knoxville’s Best Band—three years in a row—by the readers of that city’s alternative weekly, Metro Pulse.

Mark Stuart, the voice and vision of acclaimed alt-country group Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, is gearing up for the release of his new CD, Bend In The Road, out September 8, 2009 on his own Texacali Records with distribution by Nashville-based Dualtone Music. In addition, after three successful albums and thousands of gigs fronting Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, a moniker for which the Man in Black gave his permission and his blessing, Stuart and his crew are driving on under a new name: Mark Stuart and The Bastard Sons, a tag that more accurately reflects the tone of Stuart’s music and the direction of his expressive and confident songwriting.
