Sharon Lewis & Texas Fire
The Real Deal
Delmark DE 816
Sharon Lewis made her Delmark debut in 2007 as a special guest vocalist with Dave Specter on Live in Chicago (CD Delmark 794, DVD 1794). "...it's Sharon Lewis who provides the disc's most exciting moments. Her powerful pipes inject a strong gospel vibe into her originals 'In Too Deep' and the head-turning ballad 'Angel'." -Blues Revue Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Sharon's earliest musical experience was as a member of a gospel choir. She moved to Chicago permanently in 1975 and became active on the Chicago blues scene in the early 90s. In 2005 Sharon formed her own band, Texas Fire. The Real Deal features new Sharon Lewis original songs and a few covers of songs she often performs in her live shows like Van Morrison's "Crazy Love" and Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine".

Toronzo Cannon
Leaving Mood
Delmark DE 817
FEATURING SPECIAL GUEST CARL WEATHERSBY. Growing up in the shadows of Chicago's blues mecca, Theresa's Lounge, had a lasting effect on Toronzo Cannon. He'd listen to the raw, soulful sounds of legends like Junior Wells, Buddy Guy and Muddy Waters. This led him to pick up his first guitar as a teenager and learn to sing and play the sounds he heard. Inspired by the 3 Kings (Freddie, B.B. & Albert), a little Hendrix and some 70s R&B/Soul, Toronzo soon developed his own powerful, gospel-flavored vocal style and electrifying stage presence. "Aside from his fretboard chops, Cannon is notable for being one of the few local artists to emphasize original material in his live performances...his lyrics are witty and vivid." - Living Blues.

Junior Wells' Chicago Blues Band with Buddy Guy
Hoodoo Man Blues
Delmark DE 6612
EXPANDED DIGIPAK EDITION!!!
Hoodoo Man Blues is considered by most blues aficionados and fans to be one of the best blues albums of all time. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and was chosen by the readers of Living Blues magazine as a top ten Desert Island Blues disc. Recorded on September 22 & 23, 1965 Hoodoo Man Blues was the first studio album to capture a working Chicago blues band doing essentially what they did on stage without time constraints to accommodate the singles market. Of course both Junior Wells & Buddy Guy went on to become international blues stars. This new digipak re-issue contains 19 performances: the 12 songs from the original LP, 3 alternates that have been available on CD plus 4 never-before-released performances. There's one completely unissued song, "I Ain't Stranded", and an alternate take to "Yonder Wall" in which Buddy Guy is playing through the Leslie speaker as he did on the title track, something guitar players are still copying to this day. The new four-panel digipak and 16 page booklet package contains nine never before seen photos from the recording session.

Quintus McCormick Blues Band
Put It On Me
Delmark DE 815
The reviews of Quintus' first CD, Hey Jodie! (Delmark 801), were stunning. "...best studio debut of 2009 and one of the best soul-blues albums of the past decade." -Blues Revue "McCormick possesses a rich, soulful voice and an incredible versatility on guitar. At one moment he's laying down an edgy blues-rock intro, and the next he's shifting into funk mode with confidence and swagger." - Living Blues With such a great debut CD one might wonder if his second Delmark CD could be as good. It is! Fourteen new original compositions include You Just Using Me, I Got It Babe, Say Lover, How Quickly We Forget, Don't Know What To Do, Same Old Feeling, Change, The Blues Has Been Good To Me, Sadie, Lady Blue, and I Got It Bad. With special guest Billy Branch.

With Billy Branch, Eddie Shaw, Big Time Sarah, Eddie Taylor Jr., Shun Kikuta, Roosevelt Purifoy, Greg McDaniel and Pookie Styx.

Demetria revisits the song here as a tribute to her late father. But Demetria is not just riding pops' coattails. Even though she just turned 38, Demetria won the B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted Blues Diva Contest 2010, has already performed three times at the Chicago Blues Festival and guested on two Eddie Taylor CDs. Eleven songs includes the rousing duet with Big Time Sarah on Wang Dang Doodle, I'm A Woman/Hoochie Coochie Woman, All Your Love, Goin' Back To Mississippi, When You Leave, Big Boss Man.
