Blues Bytes

March 2003
Volume 8, Number 3

Veteran soul chanteuse Bettye Lavette has her first new album in much too long. The Blues Bytes soul expert is ready to proclaim it the best album of 2003. It's our Pick Hit this month.

Cool young hipster Nick Curran shows no signs of slowing down on his trip up the blues ladder. His third disk, Doctor Velvet, is this month's Surprise pick.

One of our reviewers believes that No Monkeys On This Train, a collection of R.L. Burnside recordings from the '70s, '80s and '90s, is the artist's best album ever. It's this month's Flashback feature.

This month's What's New section includes new releases from John Hammond, the Fisk Jubilee Singers, Ronnie Earl, Savoy Brown, Jimmy Thackery, Robert Randolph, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Mighty Sam McClain, Roomful of Blues, and more.
