 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Ain't Wasting Time , from Nicky T And The Snake Charmers and it's dripping blues, soul and R&B music. Opening with Magic Sam 's, That's All I Need , Nicky T with soulful vocals and groomed guitar riffs gets into that Impressions groove. With Todd Glass on drums, Alex Lyon on bass, Chris Codish on keys, and Greg Nagy on backing vocals, this is a solid opener. Rock n Roller, Feel Like A Hundred , features a driving guitar lead with vocals by Nicky and super piano work by Andy Szymanski on piano. Pete Berg on drums and Frank Greenhalgh round out the band and this track is really moving. Gritty blues, The Glass really gets down featuring guitarist extraordinaire, Ronnie Earl on lead guitar and excellent vocals by Greg Nagy. This tracks really sails with the addition of Jon Johnson on drums, Mike Marshall on bass, Jason Bone on rhythm guitar, John Gavin on piano and warm organ work by Szymanski. Excell...

I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Ginger St. James - Told Ya - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Told Ya, from Ginger St. James and it's a rock'n blues rockabilly set. Opening with Not Round Here, Ginger St. James really gets things moving with her energetic vocal styling, backed by SnowHeel Slim on guitar and tambourine, Chris Altmann on bass and Cleave Anderson on drums. Solid opener. Bluesy ballad, Lowdown Lonesome Blues is definitely one of my favorites on the release with terrific vocals by St. James and it's hip grinding rhythm..Slim lays in a tasty, "lowfi" guitar solo that really works great with the track. Honky Tonk Hangover has a cool, southern soul feel with sassy vocals by St. James and a cool guitar solo with a twangy sound. Funky, Soul Shack, is another track with that southern soul feel. St. James could easily fill the bill on 60's Atlantic or Capitol records with period correct guitar work by Slim. Wrapping the release is country flavored, Railway Rider with it's classic snare chatter and Slim on the chicken pickin. St. James vocals adapt nicely to this country styling and Altmann on pedal steel ices the cake. Cool release.
