Walk That Walk – Red Devil LyeSelf-releasewww.walkthatwalk.com8 tracks – 36 minutesWalk That Walk is a Boston-based blues band who formed in 1992.

The In Between is Gordon’s seventh album and his first since 2018’s critically acclaimed Tilt & Shine and is probably more unapologetically rock & roll than any of his previous releases.

Wyly Bigger – Broken TelephoneMadjack Recordswww.wylybigger.com9 songs – 33 minutesBroken Telephone is the debut release from Marion, Arkansas, native, Wyly Bigger, who has been a staple of the Memphis music scene for the last few years. It’s a relatively short album, clocking in at just over half an hour, but is also one of those albums that leaves the listener wanting more. It is emphatically not one of those debut releases that demonstrates potential or that suggests an embryonic talent.
