Introducing Delta Maid, wonderful Liverpudlian who takes the blues back to their breathtakin roots. Delta Maid was raised on Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Stevie Ray Vaughan and BB King. You can tell by the way she smiles.
This 25-year old is really making a name for herself. Hometown paper Liverpool Daily Post says ”Every now and again, a musician comes along that gets the industry talking. Delta Maid is that musician.”
Well Kentuckyseven aint no industry. But we sure loved Delta Maid from the first chord, and yepp we´re talking about her. Here´s why:
Delta Maid by the awesome Mahogany Sessions. Debut album Outside Looking In is released by Geffen on May 8th.
In 2007 the band Everest saw the light of day. The band is Russell Pollard (vocals, guitar, drums, lyricist), Jason Soda (guitar, keys, vocals), Joel Graves (guitar, keys, vocals), Elijah Thomson (bass, vocals) and Davey Latter (drums, percussion).
The debut with the haunting name ”Ghost Notes” came out in 2008 and was warmly welcomed into the musicworld. Their ”Californian Country-Rock” makes a noticeable mark in the sound-scape of great music. The sophomore album ”On Approach” was released in may 2010.
From ”On Approach” comes our song of the day – ”Let Go”… listen in on the great sound of Everest.

From Alabama, let´s hear it for Lydia and Laura Rodgers. Two sisters of mercy, made a debutrecord of oldschool music in a vibrant mood.
The Secret Sisters, maybe not a secret any more, makes me wanna go back to a time of americana heartland, a time before country music, a time of sweet potatoes and apple pie.
They made their 11-song debut on Belaroit/Universal Music, released by the awesome T Bone Burnett, and hitting Kentuckyseven´s soft spot.
The sisters have shared stage with Jack White and Elvis Costello. Coming up is the European tour, kicking of Feb 16th, and yes – they play with the almighty Ray LaMontagne.
¤ Next gig: Tonite Jan 14th on Higher Ground in South Burlington, tomorrow Jan 15th Bowery Ballroom in NYC.

Check out Tweak Bird @ Spotify for more tracks from one of 2010’s best album according to Kentuckyseven.
Grand Rapid´s singersongwriter Nathan Kalish made a beautiful soloalbum last year. We found it in our backviewmirror and it appears bigger than most other stuff. Away from his regular Wildfireband, Kalish has made nine songs in true K7-spirit. It smells of bearded men & Makers Mark, country & western. An honest tale.
Delicate Veins (released on Caveman Records) got the rootsy Michigan Women “Hey pretty lady, won’t you keep me warm/through the Michigan winters of my soul”, the introsong The Morning “I like to see it in the morning, when the earth still feels new, and the grass still has dew” and the epic All my life with that chillin disted guitar.
Next gig? Nathan Kalish and the Wildfire, Fri 14th, @ Jukes, Grand Rapids, MI.
Listened to P3 on swedish radio the other day, and Jasmine Kara was in the studio.
If you have a tendency to stomp your feet to old school blues and R&B-tunes, you will enjoy Kara’s music to the maximum. Her new album ”Blues Aint Nothing But A Good Woman Gone Bad” was released in juli this year by Cosmos Records.
Listen and download (Cosmos is handing out 1000 downloads, thanks)
Was watching Letterman, couple of days after christmas and had the luck of catching the amazing performance of Grace Potter & The Nocturnals. If you wanna get your rocks on, you better be prepared. This is serious stuff.
The band from Vermont has opened for The Black Crowes, The Avett Brothers and now their third studio recording ”Grace Potter & The Nocturnals” is out.
This is what stoned me this christmas:
Meet Grace and The Nocturnals on:
Goin down that road again. This is blues 2010. Joanne Shaw Taylor has got it all. The voice and (lordy lord) the fingers on that Telecaster. I´m back to the first Jonny Lang record – and diggin away.
When Joanne was a little schoolgirl, she was caught by the rough side of the blues: SRV, Albert Collins, the Paladins, Jimi Hendrix. At Christmas she got her first electric guitar. Good call.
Her new album Diamonds in the Dirt, released on Ruf Records, was recorded in the States. It´s more riff and roll, a bit tougher than her debut White Sugar. She´s playing in Wolverhampton tomorrow, get it while it´s hot.
Check out Joanne Shaw Taylor on spotify, myspace or da homepage.
