Get ready for the Ramblin' Man Fair in Maidstone with our pick of 15 of the best summertime songs from this year's festival's finest.

01 BLACK STAR RIDERS - When The Night Comes In When The Night Comes In is one of the best things Ricky Warwick, Scott Gorham and co. have done in their post-Thin Lizzy guise, and it promises to be a feelgood Highlight of Ramblin' Man. Get ready for flying beer and sunburnt singalongs.
From Heavy Fire

02 RIVAL SONS - Thundering Voices One of our favourites from the Long Beach darlings' latest album, Thundering Voices combines a belter of a riff with psychedelic haze and deft drum flourishes, all cut through with Scott Holiday's searing guitar playing.
From Hollow Bones

03 SUPERSONIC BLUES MACHINE - Miracle Man With a collective CV that would impress even the most experienced musos (between them they've worked with just about everyone), Supersonic Blues Machine were always going to be an interesting prospect. With Miracle Man they deliver the kind of rollicking rootsy goodness that demands an open-air performance.
From West Of Flushing South Of Frisco

04 DANNY WORSNOP - Anyone But Me A softer moment from the Asking Alexandria-turned-We Are Harlot-turned-soloist dude, Anyone But Me is earnest and moody without being irritating, catchy without being corny. Anyone who's heard only his heavier stuff, spanning metalcore and hard rock, will be pleasantly surprised.
From The Long Road Home

05 BLACKWATER CONSPIRACY - The Monday Club Just when you think this could be simply another sweet, swaying, not-from-the-south piece of rock'n'roll, The Monday Club shifts into thoughtful, irresistible chord changes that are guaranteed to make you smile.
From Shootin' The Breeze

06 JOANNE SHAW TAYLOR - Nothin' To Lose One of Britain's finest blues guitar exports, Joanne Shaw Taylor headlines London's Royal Festival Hall later this year as part of her biggest headline tour yet. Armed with winners like this elegantly rocked-up number, she's sure to do well. Catch her on Ramblin' Man's Blues Stage.
From Wild

07 MONSTER TRUCK - She's A Witch These heavy groovemongers from Canada hit hard with this dose of fuzzy, more-ish oomph. A heady mix of Deep Purple and pot-addled sensibilities, She's A Witch errs on the stoner side while always keeping its eyes on the prize. Like they say, don't fuck with the Truck.
From Sittin' Heavy

08 KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD BAND - Lay It On Down The title track from Kenny and co's latest album is a country-tinged ballad that shows off his singer- songwriter prowess, on top of his established guitar-god credentials. Get yet lighters out...
From Lay It On Down

09 BLUES PILLS - Burned Out Every buzzing young rock group has those moments when they edge up into the big league. Burned Out is one such moment for hot young Sweden-based band Blues Pills, building infectiously in intensity, knowing exactly when to hold off and when to burst into rich soulfulness.
From Lady In Gold

10 ERIC GALES - Been So Long He's done time in jail, taken vast amounts of cocaine and been to hell and back. Now Memphis-born Gales is back to remind us that he's actually a bloody good guitarist. Been So Long avoids showiness in favour of tasty syncopation, funky touches and guitar virtuosity that creeps pleasingly up on you rather than smacking you straight in the face. Nice.
From Middle Of The Road

11 THE VINTAGE CARAVAN - Crazy Horses This is our favourite track from Icelandic youths the Vintage Caravan, defenders of the classic rock faith since 2006. Crazy Horses is a fantastic foot-stomper, with just the right amount of wide-eyed craziness.
From Arrival

12 AARON KEYLOCK - Just One Question The young Oxford-based guitarist's most 'trad blues' moment, but also one of his classiest. Just One Question is essentially Keylock's riff on blues Standard Call It Stormy Monday, and it's executed brilliantly.
From Cut Against The Grain

13 STONE BROKEN - Not Your Enemy The beast of a riff on which Not Your Enemy hangs grabs you by the collar and pummels you into the ground - in a good way. Catch these British hard rockers opening the Main Stage on the Sunday.
From All In Time

14 BIG BOY BLOATER & THE LIMITS - Luxury Hobo Blues A wry, 21st-century take on ye olde bluesman's woes, Luxury Hobo Blues is much smarter than its happy-go-lucky refrain initially suggests, channelling Bloater's own experience of depression with a warmth and lightness of touch that's rarely seen among his contemporaries in the blues world. They play the Blues Stage on Sunday - don't miss 'em!
From Luxury Hobo

15 SCORPION CHILD - Moon Tension This covermount CD party is almost over, but not before we've headbanged our way through this blistering number from Scorpion Child. The verse leads you to think it's a fairly straight-ahead piece of high-octane hard rock, before the chorus explodes into something brilliantly melodious and classic-sounding, all laced with their psychedelic hoodoo.
From Acid Roulette
