There is hope, in the future of music and as an art form, especially when there are record labels willing to invest on albums of a certain quality that, either for budgetarian reasons or for contractual ones, they would never see the light of the day otherwise.
It is therefore a true blessing that the American label Quarto Valley Records has strongly believed on a Blues and Rock record that celebrates the trademark sound of such a pivotal state for American Music like Texas, an album that was initially recorded back in 2009 and, rather incomprehensibly, no record label had decided to pick up and release, up until now.

There is no doubt at all that 2023 has seen, yet again, the release of some outstanding records, records where there have been some remarkable statements of artistry at 360 degrees, an aspect that, rather sadly and in the contemporary music climate, doesn't often get necessarily (and rather unfairly) recognized with the deserved amount of albums sold, either online or in stores.
One of those outstanding albums, released just few weeks ago, is the brand new record of the Italian Blues/Rock band Bud Spencer Blues Explosion (often identified with the acronym BSBE) called Next Big Niente, an album that sees band members Adriano Viterbini (guitars and vocals) and Cesare Petulicchio (drums) moving into completely different sonic directions, more specifically, towards a highly interesting avant-garde, sonic pastiche that tinkers with Desert Blues, Electronica, 70's Disco, Rock, Folk and Trip-Hop, resulting in a rather entertaining melting pot where music becomes fragmented, melodic and distorted at the same times, perhaps with the purpose to consciously detach themselves from the common perception of what music may mean for many, in these days and age.
