Title: Tons of Sobs
Passage: Tons of Sobs is the debut album by English blues rock band Free, released in the UK on 14 March 1969.  While the album failed to chart in the UK, it did reach #197 in the US.  Free are cited as one of the definitive bands of the British blues boom of the late 1960s even though this is the only album of their canon that can strictly be called blues rock.  The title of the album does not relate directly to the content of the album; it is possibly oblique reference to the darker, more sombre moments of the record.
Title: Single Lock Records
Passage: Single Lock Records is an American record label based in Florence, Alabama.  It was founded by Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes), John Paul White and Will Trapp in 2013 to release music from The Shoals region of Alabama, but has since expanded its reach.  In 2014, the label held a showcase at South By Southwest in Austin, TX.

Produced by Bob Held, it was released on August 24, 2004 by J&R Adventures and reached number five on the US "Billboard" Top Blues Albums chart.  The title of the album is a reference to the song of the same name by English blues rock band Blind Faith from their 1969 self-titled album.
Title: Beasts of Bourbon
Passage: Beasts of Bourbon are an Australian alternative rock, blues rock band formed in August 1983, with James Baker on drums (ex-Hoodoo Gurus), Spencer P. Jones on guitar (The Johnnys), Tex Perkins on vocals (Dum Dums), Kim Salmon on guitar and Boris Sujdovic on bass guitar (both ex-The Scientists).  Except for mainstays, Jones and Perkins, the line-up has changed as the group splintered and reformed several times.  Their debut album, "The Axeman's Jazz" (July 1984), was the best selling Australian alternative rock album for 1984.  Their debut single, "Psycho", is a cover version of the Leon Payne original, and was the best selling Australian alternative rock single for that year.  However the group disbanded by mid-1985 and each member pursued other musical projects.  They reformed in 1987 and issued a second album, "Sour Mash", in December 1988 on Red Eye Records.  According to rock music historian, Ian McFarlane, it "virtually redefined the parameters of guitar-based rock'n'roll.  The Cramps-influenced swamp-rock of old had been discarded for a more adventurous slab of gutbucket blues and avant-garde weirdness.  Perkins' voice had matured into an authentic blues growl".  Their fifth studio album, "Gone" (January 1997), reached the Top 50 ARIA Albums Chart.  Their seventh studio album, ""Little Animals" (21 April 2007) on Albert Productions, which also peaked into the Top 50.
Title: Young Man Blues
Passage: "Young Man Blues" is a song by jazz artist Mose Allison.  Allison first recorded it in March 1957 for his debut album, "Back Country Suite", in which it appears under the title "Back Country Suite: Blues."  In Allison's two-CD compilation set of 2002, "Allison Wonderland", Allison reveals that the tune's full title is: "Back Country Suite: Blues (a.k.a. 'Young Man's Blues')".  The tune was famously covered by The Who during live sets - first appearing on their 1970 album "Live at Leeds".  Another live performance features in the movie and soundtrack for "The Kids Are Alright", from a 1969 performance at the London Coliseum.  The song was included in "Rock Band 2" as downloadable content.  The tune is also found on Chris Spedding's 2009 reissued album "One Step Ahead of the Blues", where in the liner notes Spedding states he was trying make a version, which was how he imagined Allison originally recorded it; having never heard it.  Spedding's blues rock version differs considerably from either Allison's jazz-blues or The Who's rock versions.  It has also been covered live by You Am I, Joe Bonamassa, the Foo Fighters and The Bright Light Social Hour.
