Column | Jos Verhagen in de ban van … Billy Boy Arnold
Recent tijdens het concert van The Strikes deed Big Pete een oproep om Billy Boy Arnold te eren. Zij deden dat met twee vlammende nummers van deze oude blues man. Billy Boy Arnold is een zanger gitarist en mondharmonica speler, inmiddels 84 jaar maar nog steeds onder ons. Zijn laatste wapenfeit is The Blues Soul of Billy Boy Arnold uit 2014. Begin jaren 90 maakte hij zijn zoveelste comeback, met Back where I belong een plaat vol klassieke blues, heerlijk old school. Om gehoor te geven aan de oproep van Big Pete heb ik die uit de collectie opgevist.

Recensie: Nicole Atkins – Italian Ice
De muzikale carrière van Nicole Atkins is er een waarin nergens de gemakkelijkste weg is gekozen. De zangeres uit New Jersey wordt binnenkort 42 jaar maar ze heeft al een enorme hoeveelheid aan geestelijke bagage mee te dragen. Zoals je van de betere singer/songwriters gewend bent vormt dit dikwijls een grote bron van inspiratie die je in de muziek terug hoort. Atkins behoort zeker tot die categorie en het zijn zowaar geen kleine dingen die haar de afgelopen tijd hebben bezig gehouden. ‘Italian Ice’ is haar vijfde studio-album en het is wederom een persoonlijk werkstuk geworden waarin de luisteraar wordt meegenomen in de wereld zoals Nicole Atkins die ervaart.
