SOME 'OLD' AUDIO TRACKS
With sablues.org focus now primarily on PODCASTING this page is no longer updated.
Mia Dyson: "Parking Lots"
MGM cat#BDR015
This is the kind of mix I warm to. It has a dynamic and immediate quality about it as well as a lay back subtlety. What is generated is an exhilarating, intimate and engaging sound filled with rich roots and blues rhythms.

Track 6: "Rivers Wide"
Terrance Simien "The Tribute Sessions"
Simien honours his zydeco mentors and masters. Part of the Louisiana Music Series from AIM.

Track 3: Les Barres De La Prison
Corrina Steele: Wayward
Available: Shock records
" Wayward" a surprisingly well crafted and mature debut album from Corrina Steele. I say "surprising" because "Wayward" has hit us "out of the blue" with its wealth of creative song writing and haunting well produced sounds. ...someone has been taking lessons from Daniel Lanois.

Corrina Steele: Wayward
Track 1: Blessed Child
Jolie Holland: Escodida
Anti Records 86692. 2004
Roots, Americana, jazz, blues, Appalachian folk can all be detected but don’t adequately fit this rare orchid. It’s minimalist, stark, cool & contemporary really. These are all are mere flavourings, the overall taste is fresh & new. Genre devotees will detect enough to satisfy while enjoying this palette reviver.  

Jolie Holland : Escodida
"Gimme that ol' fashion morphine"

Renee Geyer "Tonight"
ABC Music

Track 1: "I'm evil tonigh"
Olga: Kiss your blues away
219 records TNR 1005.
Here is a fascinating blend of roots, blues and jazz. Olga has a vocal style that is smooth, understated, articulate, clear and somber. Her rhythms are steady, swampy, layback, mellow and rootsy. Electric guitar, bass, drums and the occasional lap steel guitar, acoustic guitar and mandolin work together to produce a sound that is immediately accessible and richly textured enough to demand further listening

Olga: Kiss your blues away
Track 1: Kiss your blues away
Lloyd Spiegel: Tall Stories
Available: New Market Music
The young Melbourne bluesman comes of age as a song writer in "Tall Stories"! He has penned some blues gems about lonliness and isolation. Have a listen to Lloyd Spiegel's "Tall Stories" ...and sometimes true! His mood might be introspective but his caresses on electric and acoustic guitars are outward and engaging. This is a CD that is well worth indulging in. Catch James Rootsey at New Market Music and secure yourself a copy.

Lloyd Spiegel: Tall Stories
Track1: Blues Leave Me Alone
Chris White: From the Sacred to the Profane
Available: Blackmarket Music
" From the Sacred to the Profane" is the debut solo release from Melbourne bluesman Chris White. His CD is a series of vignettes that invite you on a journey from the sacredness of John Hurt's "Beula Land" to the profanity of Tampa Red's "Let me play with your poodle". SA Roots 'n Blues highlights one of the 4 tunes penned by Chris ... we have gone for the profane and selected track 5 "crop duster blues". The double entendre is not dead! Baby let me dust your crop!
