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...

VizzTone Label Group - Willie Buck & Bob Corritore - OH YEAH! - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, OH Yeah!, from Willie Buck & Bob Corritore and it's rich Chicago infused blues. Opening with title track, Oh Yeah, Bob Corritore and Willie Buck have a hot one here. Buck on lead vocal really has the stuff on vocal and Corritore really knows how to conjure the Chicago mojo on harmonica. Featuring Jimi Primetime Smith on guitar, Billy Flynn on guitar, Ben Levin on piano, Bob Stroger on bass and Wes Starr on drums, this is a super opener. On William Crawford's That Ain't Enough, Buck's vocals are particularly gritty and Bob Margolin really digs in with Muddy Waters style slide. Playing with Waters for 7 years, Margolin plays this like it's second nature. Corritore's style on harmonica is perfect on this traffic. Corritore has the mic on Went Home This Morning and he wails. Mojo Mark Cihlar and Jon Atkinson join on guitar lays out some terrific riffs and Troy Sandow on bass and Brian Fahey on drums  round out the band making this one of my favorites on the release. Morganfield's Baby Please Don't Go follows original arrangement and Buck is really in the groove. This track is always a easy sell and Corritore and Buck sail high. Wrapping the release is Let Me Find Out Your Name with Levin on piano, and featuring Billy Flynn on guitar. A slow deep groove gives Buck plenty of space for his vocals to breathe and Flynn's tone is terrific. Corritore closes out the track with some lower octave blowing really giving it guts. Strong closer.
