Infamous bluesman Son of Dave has announced the second single from his forthcoming ‘Blues At The Grand’ LP. Released on 25th November ‘We Goin Out’, a disco-blues number with Son of Dave’s distinctive style stamped all over it, features Son of Dave on vocal, drums, bass, guitar, percussion, backing vocals, beatbox and of course the harmonica. Naomi Yhap provides the female backing vocals.     

After working with Steve Albini on his previous LP ‘Shake A Bone’ Son of Dave turned to Jimmy Hogarth, a rhythm and blues fan with writing and production credits on countless monster-smashes by the likes of Amy Winehouse, James Morrison and Corrine Bailey Rae.  

Finishing off the festival season with performances at Festival No. 6 and Bestival, Son of Dave hits the road again in November for a full UK tour that includes a headline show at London’s Borderline on 23rd November.

C.W. is my favorite contemporary bluesman, and I had the honor of opening for him in Philly a few years back (with the band Old Goats).  Thanks to him for permission to remix and stream this tune.

MUDDY WATERS - Worried Mind (Jeremy Sole remix)

New album with Irma Thomas "Audience with the Queen" out now everywhere. 
Stream/Download the full album → https://orcd.co/git-awtq

Over the course of three decades, Galactic has become a cornerstone of New Orleans’ dynamic music landscape – the same world that brought them together in the ‘90s as a late-night funk outfit steeped in the unique sounds of their city.
The musically adventurous group has evolved continuously since then, thanks in part to their penchant for collaborating with a wildly diverse array of guest artists. While those experiences have provided a steady stream of new musical perspectives and ideas to the group’s core sound, other elements of their work – like their new role as stewards of the historic New Orleans music venue Tipitina’s – have deepened their relationship with
their city and its music community through the years, giving the band an even richer foundation for their ongoing explorations of new creative terrain.

Audience With the Queen, Galactic’s forthcoming studio album with New Orleans rhythm and blues legend Irma Thomas, exemplifies all of that progress and more. Out April 11, 2025, the new album features Thomas’ Grammy-winning vocals on every track, marking a departure from their 10 previous studio LPs, most of which revolved around the band’s core instrumentalists – Ben Ellman (saxophones, harmonica), Rob Mercurio (bass), Stanton Moore (drums), Jeff Raines (guitar) and Rich Vogel (keyboards) – accompanied by a mix of different vocalists, including Anjelika “Jelly” Joseph and Josh Cagler.
