From the west coast of Florida comes the career-defining record titled
"Gone" from rockers The Mojo Gurus. The band is led by veteran
singer/songwriter Kevin Steele, who also produced the album. The new
15-song release begins and ends with the classic guitar rock of "Real
Gone Groove," but it's everything that is in-between that will make you a
fan. The album's lead single, "Love Somebody" sounds straight from the
seventies with its up-tempo, guitar driven rhythm, highlighted by the
horn section. Kevin and the band deliver the southern, soulful sound of
"Fifty Miles," before moving on the blues of "All I Do Is Cry" and the
psychedelic mindset of "Step Into The Light." The guitar boogie shuffle
of "Monkey Off My Back" and the punk-like energy of "(We're All Goin')
Straight To Hell" showcases the many genres that The Mojo Gurus cover
with their brand of music. The album will be released on June 30th through MRI Entertainment. To find out more about The Mojo Gurus and their latest release "Gone," please visit mojogurus.com.
Back in April, Orleans Records re-issued the Grammy-nominated blues
album "The Story Of My Life" from Guitar Slim Jr. It will be the first
ever release of the album on vinyl and will be also issued on CD for the
first time in almost 30 years. The album was the debut release from
Guitar Slim Jr. (son of legendary Eddie "Guitar Slim" Jones) and
features a classic blues sound that he adopted by being around his
father at a very young age. Songs like "Bad Luck Blues" and "Reap What
You Sow" showcases Guitar Slim Jr.'s exceptional skills on the guitar as
he electrifies the music with jolts of energy. While he still performs
live to this day, he has all but given up on studio recordings (his last
studio album was released in 2010). To find out more about Guitar Slim
Jr. and the new re-issue of his classic album "The Story Of My Life,"

Arriving earlier this month was the full-length debut album titled
"Agistri" from singer/songwriter Heather Trost. Trost was one half of
the performing duo A Hawk And A Hacksaw (with her husband Jeremy Barnes)
and has recently went off on her own, assembling a new band for her new
music. Her new 8-song release begins with the nostalgic, psychedelic
rock of the title song, which is actually the name of a Greek Island.
The music gently flows along on the instrumentals "Abiquiu" and
"Bloodmoon," before Heather continues with experiment with her sound on
the alt-pop feel of "Me And My Arrow" and the keyboard-fueled "Plastic
Flowers." The album finishes with the angelic harmonies of "Real Me,
Real You" and the quiet, ambient tone of "Three Feathers." To find out

From New York comes the latest from singer/songwriter Kim Rancourt
titled "plum plum." It features an all-star band that was also featured
in the HBO series "Vinyl" and brings Kim's music to life with a blast of
energy for the songs "Circle's Gotta Go" and "I Kissed Pat Place." His
new 10-song release switches between the rawness of punk as in "Arkansas
Is Burning" and the nostalgia of "Claudine." He pays tribute to fellow
New York artist Lou Reed with the experimental sonic blast of "She Got
Hit," before finishing up with the quiet, late-night strumming of "Leave
Your Light On." To find out more about Kim Rancourt and his latest
release "plum plum," please visit howlinwuelf.com.
