I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Lemon Live!, from Bling Lemon Pledge and it's solid rural style blues. Opening with Blackeyed Suzie, Blind Lemon on vocal and slide guitar set the pace with a traditional sound, trading lead with Sioux City Slim on harmonica, and backed by Mr. Peter Grenell on bass and Rockin' Juli Moscovitz on drums. With an easy blues rock feel, Sugar Rush has suggestive lyrics and easy going melodic harmonica work by Slim. One of my favorite tracks on the release is Muddy Waters' I Feel Like Goin' Home, with solid lead vocals and raw, acoustic slide by Blind Lemon and melodic harmonica lead by Slim. Very cool. Another favorite of mine from the release is original composition, You Can't Get There From Here, with a Tampa Red/Bob Dylan feel. I like it's laid back easy vocal feel and nicely composed instrumentation by Slim on harmonica. With it's snappy rhythm, Railroad Mama is another of my favorites with a steady train like snare attack by Moscovitz and melodic soloing by Slim on harmonica. Wrapping the release is rocker, Junkyard Dog, with dog howls and all. The crowd obviously enjoys this track with it's bluesy harmonica and feel good approach. Solid closer.
