-
Image
Orlando-based blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Alex Kilroy delivers powerful, boundary-pushing performances that honor traditional roots while forging a distinct modern sound. Originally born in Transylvania, Romania , Kilroy spent his early childhood training on classical piano before a life-changing introduction to the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan permanently shifted his trajectory toward the blues. After relocating to Florida, his exceptional talent earned him recognition from the Orlando Blues & Roots Alliance and opportunities to open for legendary American artists by the young age of fourteen. Now a vital fixture in the Southeastern music scene, Kilroy channels this lifetime of technical mastery and soulful songwriting into his compelling new album.   🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM   Add this Record to Your Collection Available in CD and Digital Formats. 🛒 Buy Album on Amazon Store As an Amazon Associate, Bman e...

Jeff Dale & Jeff Stone - The Southside Lives - New Release Review

-
I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, The Southside Lives, from Jeff Dale & Jeff Stone and it's modern form of simple blues. Opening with Honeyboy Story, Jeff Dale on guitar and vocal and Jeff Stone on harp grind out a delta style blues as stripped down as two guys get but with a rap style vocal. Interesting. On title track, The Southside Lives, Dale strums warm, jazz like chords under his vocals accompanied by Stone on harp. Hooked Up To A Plow has the simplicity of country music with a blues twist. With slide on Cigar Box guitar, Dale gives the track a southern flair. Glistening cigar box slide work on traditional blues track, The Bus Broke Down along with solid blues harp work by Stone makes this my favorite track on the release. Earthy, Mud On My Shoes, is a solid delta blues entry featuring some of Dale's best vocals on the release and cool supporting harp and guitar. Wrapping the release is the comical, Broke and Burned, (I Hope I'll Be In Heaven, Before The Devil Knows I'm Dead) with Leadbelly like deliver. A cool closer for a cool release.
