Philip Anselmo, legendary frontman of Pantera and Down, will release his career-first solo album, Walk Through Exits Only , on July 16 via his own Housecore Records (MRI/Megaforce). Produced by Philip Anselmo and Michael Thompson, and recorded over the past couple of years at his New Orleans studio, Nodferatu's Lair, with his band The Illegals - Marzi Montazeri/guitar, and drummer Jose Manuel "Blue" Gonzales, Walk Through Exits Only is abrasive, aggressive, anthemic and 100% Anselmo. The album's eight songs are as unstrained as it gets, from "Battalion of Zero" to "Usurper's Bastard Rant," to the album's title track that goes against the grain and right through the exits. Brash, brutal guitars cut through punishing percussion as Anselmo screams with uncompromising ferocity and uncontainable fire.

But Trying To Hold On shows that she's also a very capable songwriter, able to hew to the genre's traditions while revealing her own writing voice……

Bill Homans, aka Watermelon Slim, and James Johnson — better known as Super Chikan — are a couple of blues legends. Slim plays guitar as if his life depended on it, blows a mean harp, and possesses a raw, scratchy voice that sounds like it’s lived through a couple of lives already. Chikan plays his own custom-built guitars and has one of those voices too. When the two of them team up to release a blues album, you’d expect it to be incendiery, a masterclass in blues showmanship and roots. You’d be right.Okisippie Blues, named after Slim’s Oklahoma roots and Chikan’s Mississippi background, just might be the blues album of the year……

The most convincing bluesman on their roster certainly is the legendary Elmore James and his classic "Dust My Blues," always confused with the Johnny Shines classic "Dust My Broom" but the former is the lyric he does sing.

Gerald Joseph "Gerry" Mulligan (April 6, 1927 – January 20, 1996) was an American jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, composer and arranger.
Though Mulligan is primarily known as one of the leading baritone saxophonists in jazz history – playing the instrument with a light and airy tone in the era of cool jazz – he was also a notable arranger, working with Claude Thornhill, Miles Davis, Stan Kenton, and others. Mulligan's pianoless quartet of the early 1950s with trumpeter Chet Baker is still regarded as one of the more important cool jazz groups. Mulligan was also a skilled pianist and played several other reed instruments.
