 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Ain't Wasting Time , from Nicky T And The Snake Charmers and it's dripping blues, soul and R&B music. Opening with Magic Sam 's, That's All I Need , Nicky T with soulful vocals and groomed guitar riffs gets into that Impressions groove. With Todd Glass on drums, Alex Lyon on bass, Chris Codish on keys, and Greg Nagy on backing vocals, this is a solid opener. Rock n Roller, Feel Like A Hundred , features a driving guitar lead with vocals by Nicky and super piano work by Andy Szymanski on piano. Pete Berg on drums and Frank Greenhalgh round out the band and this track is really moving. Gritty blues, The Glass really gets down featuring guitarist extraordinaire, Ronnie Earl on lead guitar and excellent vocals by Greg Nagy. This tracks really sails with the addition of Jon Johnson on drums, Mike Marshall on bass, Jason Bone on rhythm guitar, John Gavin on piano and warm organ work by Szymanski. Excell...

I started a quest to find terrific jazz and blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Ruf Records artist: Dana Fuchs - Live In Denmark - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Live In Denmark, from Dana Fuchs and she kicking it in high gear. Opening with blues rocker, Double Down On Wrong, Piero Perelli on drums and Kevin Mackall on bass really have the place rocking. Fuchs has a strong voice and Jon Diamond is relentless on guitar blending blues with contemporary rock riffs. Blue Mist Road opens with light backing and strong vocals by Fuchs. Breaking it wide open, Diamond winds it out on guitar with overdriven guitar tones, backed by solid drum work by Perelli and great lead bass riffs by Mackall. Very nice track. One of my favorite tracks on the release is ballad, Nothing You Own with a great melody, subdued guitar lead and excellent vocal by Fuchs. Diamond takes a melodic guitar solo with plenty of oomph giving the concert a super change of pace.  Borrowed Time is a country rock styled track with a a stiff kick by Perelli. A strong radio track, this is a great concert track and has terrific radio potential. Another firm rocker is Curtain Close with a great melody and rhythm. Fuchs paces the track nicely and Diamond's overdriven guitar tones are critical as it fades into Bland's Ain't No Love (In The Heart Of The City). Very nice. Wrapping the release is Mick and Keith's Sympathy For The Devil. Maintaining the original Stones rhythm and basic arrangement, Mackall lays down a great bass line and Perelli's drum work drives it solid. Diamond does a real nice job grinding out classic rock lead and Fuchs pipes are great. This is a solid release with a continuous groove.
