Sugar Daddy Records artist: Anni Piper - Men Are Like Potato Chips - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Men Are Like Potato Chips, by Anni Piper and it's a solid blues rocker. Opening with Devil Bride, Brian Foxworth really set a solid drum rhythm giving Anni Piper on vocal and bass a great platform for her chugging rocker. Ted Swanson  lays in some nicely stylized guitar work and Jimi Bott rounds out the band on percussion. Sassy, title track, Men Are Like Potato Chips, has a vintage blues style lead by Chris Shuttleworth on tuba and Steve Kerin on keys giving the full range to Piper on lead vocal. I do like  Shuttleworth's tuba solo on this one. Cheetah, is my favorite track on the release is tasty guitar work by Swanson, and strong drum beat by Foxworth, John Dover contributing a tight trumpet lead and of course smooth lead vocal by Piper. Thunderous drums by Foxworth open Match With A Sasquatch rocking with Piper's vocals and Tim Langford and the track picks up a hot James Brown funky drum rhythm. Wrapping the release is driving rocker, F.I.G.J.A.M. featuring Annie and Flynn Piper on harmonized lead vocals and a jamming bottom courtesy Foxworth on drums and Swanson on guitars. Rocking closer.

BLUES GAL ANNI PIPER SUMMER'MORE GUITARS THAN FRIENDS' TOUR KICKS OFF JULY 26 AT DARWIN'S IN MARIETTA, GA; FEATURING HER AWARD-WINNING SONG, 'WONDER WOMAN' Performing Locally: Tuesday, July 26 - DARWIN'S BURGERS AND BLUES     (Marietta, GA) - Anni Piper kicks off her "More Guitars Than Friends" Summer 2016 U.S. Tour with a performance at renowned Marietta venue Darwin's Burgers & Blues, 1598 Rosewell Rd., on Tuesday, July 26. Showtime: 8:00 pm. All ages. Tickets $7. Info: (470) 399-5060 or http://darwinsburgers.com/. Complete Tour Itinerary below.      The colorful bassist-vocalist who fronts the Anni Piper Band released More Guitars Than Friends to critical acclaim and worldwide airplay this past February. The album features the hit single "Wonder Woman," nominated for awards in both the U.S. and her country of origin, Australia, from which she moved approximately two years ago. Recently married, Piper now calls Cocoa, FL her home.            Some Recent Reviews of "More Guitars Than Friends" "An entertaining album with some fine comic songs, a good vocalist, and solid musicianship."                     BLUES BLAST "A strong addition to Anni Piper’s catalog. Though a departure from her more popular Texas Blues, and swing music that her fans have come to expect, it is a good record that stands up well to repeated listening. Piper's ability to write songs in genres other than the blues has grown with each new release, as has the emotional maturity of her singing."                                                     MUSIC NEWS NASHVILLE "The sultry bass-playing blues-woman from Down Under offers a wry line in her lyrical story-telling. Piper’s voice provides a smooth and soulful feel, mixed up with a coquettish twinkle in “I’m Lost Without You.” She gives a raucous earthy feel to “Paper Bag,” which demonstrates her vocal dexterity, and has a great saxophone solo from Charlie De Chant (Hall & Oates band)."          NATIONAL BLUES REVUE "More Guitars Than Friends puts Piper’s considerable musical talents and smart songwriting on full display....a captivating mix of blues, rock and soul that features her deep and sultry vocals and her formidable skills on the bass guitar."                           BLUES BYTES   The ten-song disc, the first to be released on Piper's own Sugar Daddy Records imprint, is a lively potpourri of sounds. "All the original songs on the album were written since I moved to the US about a year ago", states Piper. More Guitars Than Friends was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Solar Studio (using exclusively solar power) in Orlando, FL.    Anni Piper  - often referred to as "Australia's First Lady of the Blues" - blends deep, sexy vocals with a high-energy bass playing style (often barefoot), making for a thoroughly enjoyable live experience. Anni first started playing electric guitar at age twelve, but switched to bass two years later.  In 2004 Piper released Jailbait, which earned her "Best New Talent"at the 2005 Australian Blues Music Awards. Subsequent album releases include 2007's Texas Hold 'Em, 2009's Two's Company (which reached #1 on the Australian Roots music chart and #21 on the Living Blues chart), 2010's Chasin' Tail (released by Blues Leaf Records), and 2013's Split Second, a duet effort with Nicole Hart.           "More Guitars Than Friends"  - Summer 2016 Tour Itinerary July 26 (Tues.)        DARWIN'S BURGERS & BLUES        Marietta, GA July 27 (Wed.)          PRESERVATION PUB                      Knoxville, TN July 28 (Thur.)         BRACKIN'S                                    Maryville, TN July 30 (Sat.)           THE RED WOLF                              Birmingham, AL July 31 (Sun.)          UNDERBURG HOUSE CONCERT      Cape Girardeau MO Aug. 1 (Mon.)          THE ALAMO                                 Springfield, IL Aug. 2 (Tues.)         HOUSE OF BLUES                          Chicago, IL Aug. 3 (Wed.)          WALNUT ST.
