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

-

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...

Leggero Records artist: Victoria Cardona - Que Paso - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Que Paso, from Victoria Cardona, and it's fully bodied Latin music. Opening with Que Paso En La Habana, Victoria Cardona on vocal and guitar, fully backed vocally by Marilyn Scott, Jimmy Branly and Tim Goodman really get a warm Latin feel. With Kevin Richard on percussion, Rene Camacho on bass, Goodman on organ, San Miguel Perez on Cuban Tres Guitar, Francisco Torres on trombone, and some real nice flute work by Justo Almario. Solid opener. Another original track, Ghost has a strong radio appeal with Cardona playing some really tasty guitar lead, joined by Jimmy Branly on drums, Kevin Ricard on percussion, Jimmy Haslip on bass, Bill Payne on piano, Goodman on guitar, organ mandolin and backing vocals. Very nice. Rhodes Royale really gets in the slot with Cardona on vocal, guitar, percussion and steel drums, joined by Rene Camacho on bass. It's up tempo rhythm really gives the track a lively feel. One of my favorites on the release is Isolina Carrillo's Dos Gardinias with lush vocals by Cardona and beautiful work by Almario on sax and clarinet. Reggae flavored Tuesday Rain is laid back with warm brass. Wrapping the release is Lowell George's Spanish Moon. Branly and Ricard sets the stage with excellent rhythm and Cardona singing in Cuban. Bill Payne on piano adds a familiar groove and Jimmy Haslip on bass are well supported by Torres, Almario on horns and Goodman on guitar. Excellent closer.
