Blues music

So sweet, so cold, so swampy: Mother Raspberry & A.R.C.'s Inauguration of the Frasierdome pulls you into a two-part concept album where it's always Thursday night in the Dome. Dino DiMuro and Kelly Kintner's The Fight for the Last Cigarette brings nasty psychedelic jams built on djembe, kalimba, and a wooden dinosaur — no loops, no samples, all human. syn.terra's Kharybdis offers piano-driven industrial jazz swamp grooves fit for a stroll through the bog at sunrise. Ultimate Rick Jones' Bon Voyage sets sail on a nautical vacation gone deliciously dark, while Z Frequency's Queen B fuses blues grit with reggae pocket and a powerhouse horn section for a raw, beach-side second-chance plea.
