Welcome to the new CDs For Review page at Blues On Stage.
For Current Contributing Writers:
If you are a contributing writer to Blues On Stage please check this page on a regular basis as this is where I will post the current list of CDs that have come in for review.
When possible I will list the website of the artists so you can check out the music and find out some background information prior to selecting a CD for review.
Please send me an email at: mnblues@aol.com to let me know which CDs you might be interested in reviewing and I will let you know what is still available.
You can also let me know what future releases you might be interested in and I will try to accommodate that request whenever possible.
As always you are welcome to and encouraged to also submit reviews from your own collection. And remember, Blues On Stage covers a wide variety of styles including: blues, R&B, rock-blues, soul, jazz, Zydeco/Cajun, swing, jump, folk, roots and, on occasion, just about anything else that has merit.
Also remember I am always looking for other types of reviews, including reviews of live shows and festivals, artist interviews, book & video reviews, blues and music related articles and other special features. If you have a particular artists you would like to interview, let me know and I might be able to help set that up.
If you haven't done so in a while, please take a moment to review the CD Review Guidelines (especially the formatting). Also, when I send out new CDs for review, please let me know when you receive them.
