Fiona Boyes - Blues Woman released
Blues Woman, Fiona Boyes' second album for Yellow Dog Records, captures the striking, original talent that allows Boyes to write, sing and play anything in the blues realm with total conviction. Its 15 songs run a rollicking trip through the contemporary blues landscape -- from Chicago to Texas to Mississippi's hill country and the Delta, all evocatively conjured by Boyes' and producer Mark "Kaz" Kazanoff's true-to-the-bone arrangements. Recorded in Austin TX, with a full band including special guests Marcia Ball, Pinetop Perkins, and Watermelon Slim, Blues Woman manifests the soulful, authoritative style of this native Australian and three-time Blues Music Award nominee to full effect.

Eden Brent wins! Twice!

Here's the list of artists who won in more than one category in last night's 30th Blues Music Awards: Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Janiva Magness. That's a pretty exclusive list.
But you can add another spectacular performer to the list: Eden Brent , who took both "Acoustic Album of the Year" and "Acoustic Artist of the Year" honors.
For the record, Buddy edged out B.B., Janiva, and Eden with three wins to two for each of the others. If you weren't able to make it to Memphis for the big night, there's a great recap published by our friends at BluesWax magazine.
