Innes Sibun: Lost in the Wilderness Review

"Based in Bath, England, Sibun's name has yet to gain the star power of other prominent guitarists marching blues into the 21st century, but his credentials are eye-popping nevertheless. Aside from playing in Robert Plant's band, Sibun has opened for some of rock's most influential guitarists, including Johnny Winter, Taj Mahal, and Peter Green. On his latest solo record Lost in the Wilderness, Sibun steps into the lauded role of the guitar hero, lending his own flair to the tradition he carries forward."

Southern: "World Don't Shine"

"Currently based in Liverpool and signed to Marathon Records, Southern are notable for the bluesy riffs and fitting vocal harmonies that stream easily from one track to the next. On "World Don't Shine," Southern match irresistible recurring riffs with haunting vocals that recognize when to soar and alternately when to ease away and let the guitar do the talking."
