💿 ALBUM REVIEW: John Primer and Friends - Tribute To Theresa's Lounge

-
Image
John fell in love with the blues as a child when his father and an older cousin played guitar and sang at night after a hard day in the fields. His mother moved to Chicago to secure a job and support her family. She promised to bring John and his sister to the big city when they reached age 18, leaving them with family. Depressed and lonely, young Primer frequently went into the neighboring woods, where he cried his troubles away and began singing the blues in solitude. He eventually built himself a diddley bow on the side of his grandmother's house out of broom wire, two nails and a brick and began accompanying himself as he sang, eventually playing for dimes and quarters in his schoolyard. After listening to Jimmy Reed , Little Milton, B.B. King , Albert King and Muddy Waters on his grandmother's record player, his biggest dream was to play alongside Muddy Waters one day. 🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM ▶ Listen to Album Samples (Clic...

Diesel Entertainment artist: Jeff Rogers - Dream Job - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Dream Job, from Jeff Rogers, and it's a soulful rocker. Opening with Her Kind Of Trouble, a super, R&B track with excellent vocals by Jeff Rogers. Kevin Holly on guitar, Clayton Ivey on keys, Justin Holder on drums and Shonna Tucker on drums are a tight unit and spectacular backing vocals by Sharon Riley, Teena Riley, Jean Lawrence - Scotland, Michelle Francis, Renee Rowe and Patricia Lewis. Soulful. title track, Dream Job, is another prime showcase for Rogers on vocal and Wurlitzer, backed by Holly, Tucker, Holder and Ivey and the excellent choir. Bluesy ballad, Wish You Wouldn't Go features some real nice guitar work by Holly and terrific lead vocal by Rogers with warm backing and horn support by Ed Lister on trumpet, Petr Cancura on tenor sax, and Mark Ferguson on trombone. Very nice. Dead of Night has the signature of a radio hit with a bobbing melody, strong melody, Rogers pure vocals and the strong horn punch of Lister, Cancura and Ferguson. Wrapping the release is Deep Cold Water, another solid ballad featuring Rogers and his Wurlitzer backed by, Tucker, Holder, Ivey and the potent vocals of the choir. This is a strong release and one that you should check out.
