I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Other Side of Blue, by Misty Blues and it's smoking. Opening with slow blues, I've Got Vices, Gina Coleman with her powerful vocals lead the way, joined by the blistering guitar work of Seth Fleischmann and power sax work of Aaron Dean, Diego Mongue on bass and David Vittone on keys and Rob Tatten on drums. Funky, Trust Ain't Given is a solid mover with snappy drum/guitar rhythm supporting Coleman on vocals. Vittone on organ really thickens up the funk and Tatten's stick work on drums really stiffens up the slam. Very cool. Dark, jazzy, Three Mississippi's, is one of the coolest tracks on the release pairing Coleman's vocals with the backing of Chantel McCullouch, Wendy Lipp, Kathy Ryan, Rebecca Mattson and Sean Bottoms on vocal and the warm guitar work of Fleischmann. Carry On This Way has a swaying blues feel giving Dean a great opportunity to show his sax chops and Coleman's vocal phrasing and depth gives the track a rich feel. Fleischmann enters the closer, I Ain't Buying with a tight, funky guitar riff joined by Bob Stannard on harmonica providing an excellent field for Coleman's vocal style. Mongue on bass and Tatten on drums hold the bottom tight and Dean's sax work is fat fat fat. Solid closer for a cool release.
