Welcome to the archive of CD reviews.
I say archive because sablues.org no-longer writes reviews. The promoting of CDs is now primarily done via our ever popular Podcasts.

I listened to Clara Rose’s ‘The Offering’ on the lengthy commute this morning and a number of things struck me ...read on
The Pilgrim
http://owencampbell.com.au/album/the-pilgrim/
Here is a travelling troubadour whose raspy voice and slide guitar generate an engaging, earthy and energetic brand of roots rock. Take the pilgrimage with me to where contemporary blues shines brightly! Yes it's Owen Cambell on his album The Pilgrim.

Featured in Podcas 186: http://www.sablues.org/audio_stream186.htm
Caught this guy's show at Norwood Live in June 2013. Mezmerising! Make sure you catch him next time he comes to town.
Jen Cloher CD
What performance enhancing stuff is she on? If you feel like tapping into some edgy raw rock energy then this 7 track delight is the way to go. . Read more.
Youri Blow
Corridor? Walk down this passage way and you will sense  the playing of Charlie Patton, John Hurt and Gary Davis. Along the way you will also be initiated into the milieu of Youri Blow. It is European, French, Mongolian, primal  and cosmic!. Read more.

Don Morrison. 'Random Notes'.
All Hail the Larrikin Troubadour Laureate of Adelaide! As if Don Morrison hadn’t already nailed the job with his past efforts both live & recorded.  Now he tops it all with Random Notes ...read more of Lone Tony Joe's review of this album ( which SARB claims is a landmark recording ...a cornerstone at the foundation of SA roots music!)
The Foundling
Sweet Baby James and Rob Eyers. 'Double Voodoo Blues'.
( Black Market Music ).
 Double Voodoo Blues! The double? It's Sweet Baby James and Rob Eyers! Voodoo? I've heard these two playing together for some years now and I do believe they have indulged in some underground religious practice that has enabled them to be musically joined at the hip! Blues? It's raw, intimate and mesmerising!

Pieta Brown – Shimmer   2009
Hauntingly minimal ...almost a warm sleepy fireside mood to it.
The Foundling
"The Foundling". Mary Gauthier.
 Gauthier, the troubled troubadour states  "too many songs about happiness leave me sad, lonely and depressed". Well a measures dose of songs about being sad, lonely and depressed can be strangely uplifting!
Cow
Cow: The Long Ride Home
 There is an ache in the songs that can only come after experiencing life’s tricky turns and detours...

CAL WILLIAMS JR. "Morning Star".
Cal has drawn upon some rich folk and roots music sources to construct an eclectic mix of breezy songs and evocative instrumentals all employing his excellent acoustic and slide guitar playing.

'Better Times Will Come' is a new album from Diana Jones, one of the most acclaimed voices on the Roots scene. It features Diana's concise, economical words along with her hymn-like melodies, so simple and so sturdy, and the keening sound of her drawling alto.

"My Sister's Shoes" Kate Meehan, Skip Landy and Peter Gelling.
Read review by Stuart Knowles and view video clip of title song from the album.

Jimmy Nalls
"No Stranger to the blues".

Accompany NY acoustic instrumentalist Kaki King on this whispery, dreamy and ethereal journey on her album "Dreaming of revenge".
