 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!

Treated and Released Records artist: Reverend Freakchild - Blues & Spirituals/Hymn Hustler - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Blues & Spirituals/Hymn Hustler, by Reverend Freakchild and it's quite good. Opening with traditional, Jesus On The Mainline and the Rev not only shows acute guitar prowess and strong, stylized vocals. Excellent. Blues For No One is a real nice guitar ditty featuring the Rev and his extreme dexterity on acoustic guitar. Very nice. A cool interpretation of Billie Holiday's, God Bless The Child demonstrates just how smooth the Rev's vocals can be. With only the essence of guitar, jazz chords, this is a strong entry to the mix. A sensitive take on Lowell George's Willin' is a great closer for disc one. Morganfield's Rollin' and Tumblin' has the Rev digging in deep with lively vocals and excellent acoustic slide work. Another slide delight is Hawaiian Cowboy Lost In NYC. The Rev's slide work is intense and fluid with recollections of John Lennon, street noises. Very interesting. Cool shuffle, A Day Late and a Dollar Short gives the set a real nice kick. With relaxed vocals, easy guitar and including the Rev on harmonica, it's party time. Wrapping the release is Momento Mori, a contemporary blues with soulful vocals and slashing slide.
