“Leave it to a group of Canadians to dish up some of the best Southern-style blues we wolfed down all weekend. … a quiet storm of slide guitar solos, blue notes, three-part harmonies …”. 
Rolling Stone: 20 Best Things We Saw at Americana Music Fest 2014

hg
Anchored by the bluesy wail of electric guitars, the swell of B3 organ, and the har- monized swoon of two voices that were born to mesh. At first listen, you might call it Americana. Dig deeper, though, and you’ll hear the nuances that separate The Bros. Landreth — whose members didn’t grow up in the American south, but rather the iso- lated prairie city of Winnipeg, Manitoba — from their folksy friends in the Lower 48.

Thirty Tigers New 2015 Releases – Bhi Bhiman

Bhi Bhiman

Rhythm & Reason

Release Date:
01 June 2015

Hailed by Robert Christgau for NPR All Things Considered as a “penetrating melodist, accomplished guitarist and striking singer,” Bhiman uses his own upbringing as the son of immigrants as a central theme for the album’s 10 original songs. With production by Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive, Josh Ritter), Bhiman deploys bold language and sonic sparks – from richly arranged strings and woodwinds to a literal gunshot – on Rhythm & Reason, all anchored by his most powerful instrument, his unmistakeable tenor hailed as “full-bodied and brawny but delicate” by the New York Times.

Bhiman balances the subversive with the sensitive on Rhythm & Reason, drawing inspiration in equal measure from Richard Pryor and Curtis Mayfield for their keen observations, their biting commentary and their humanity. Opener “Moving to Brussels” sets the tone for the album in the form of an immigrant’s Dear John letter to his former dictator; “Waterboarded in Love” details an interrogation by a jealous love; and “Up In Arms” recounts Black Panther Huey Newton’s fall from prominence
