💿 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...

Charles Tiner - Good Soul - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Good Soul, from Charles Tiner, and it's a solid mix or soul, rock and blues. Opening with Be A Man, Charles Tiner on keys and John Virgin develop the intro. Tiner with rich lead vocal leads the way and fluid guitar riffs by Virgin backed by Jamahi Patterson on drums and Charles Fox on bass for a deluxe opener. Easy blues, Blue Moon really showcases Tiner's soulful vocal work joined by Regina Stewart-Byrd and strong guitar lead by Travis Aldridge. Very cool. Theo Fisher lays in some real nice sax work on Peace By The River, a powerful vocal track featuring Tiner really digging in on enveloping keys. Solid radio track. R&B track, She Made A Move On Me is one of my favorite tracks on the release with a lightly funky rhythm by Tiner on keys, Virgin on guitar and William Bryant on bass. A strong radio track is Don't Be A Fool Too Long with Tiner on lead vocal and keys, backing vocals by Johnetta Jay Williams and Conrad Lee on lead, rhythm and bass guitar. Very nice. Wrapping the release is Put Your Money On Me, an easy shuffle pairing Tiner's vocal and keys with Chris Camp on harmonica, Fox on bass and backing vocals by Sandra Chappel, and Stewart-Byrd. Very nice closer.
