Dear Blues Bytes reader,

Happy New Year from Blues Bytes!

The January issue of Blues Bytes is now online at www.bluesbytes.info. This issue continues the tradition of featuring our reviewers' Top Ten lists of favorite discs from the previous year. Among the CDs that show up on more than one list are new CDs from Willie Walker, Fiona Boyes, Cephas & Wiggins, Janiva Magness, Jeremy Spencer, Bob Margolin, Charlie Musselwhite, and Paris James.

Other featured discs this month include new CDs from The Holmes Brothers, Joe Louis Walker, Bob Margolin, Terry Garland, Eddie Cotton, Midnight Shift, and the Greek band Small Blues Trap, plus a review of the new biography of Duane Allman. There are also a couple of reviews of Delmark's Junior Wells live set from 1975.
