Bman's Blues Report

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Sticks & Strings , from EG Kight and it's solid release. Opening with Talk With Me , EG Kight sets up a real nice shuffle leading the way with fine vocals and guitar, backed by Ken Wynn on lead guitar and dobro, Gary Porter on drums, Sean Williams on bass and Porter and Wynn on backing vocals. Wynn steps up with a real nice guitar solo on slow blues, If You Have No Reservations , nicely supporting the front work of Kight. One of Kight's best vocal showcases on the release is ballad, All Things Considered with a strong melody, and a super guitar hook. This track should stand tall for radio airplay. Wrapping the release is another radio track, I Won't Ever Give Up , with an easy, pop melody and laid back accompaniment.    If you support live Blues acts, up and coming Blues talents and want to learn more about Blues news and Fathers of the Blues, Like ---Bman’s Blues Report--- Facebook Page!

I just received the newest release (September 16, 2014), a new day , from EG Kight and she displays a full deck of down home sounds. Opening with soulful ballad Holdin' On , Kight, backed by drummer Gary Porter, bassist Johnny Fountain, guitarist Ken Wynn and keysmith Mike Harrell, sets a wholesome tempo for this new endeavor. Shuffle track, Graveyard Dead Blues , opens with Harrell on electric piano and Kight on solid vocals. Wynn whips out the slide for some hot, freewheeling guitar work and Harrell takes a nice piano solo as well. On blues ballad, Comin' Down With The Blues , Wynn plays a bluesy melodic guitar intro as well as a tasty solo and Kight holds the audience in the palm of her hand as she sings from her heart. Ex Cowboy Tommy Talton opens with a reverb saturated guitar riff, leading Kight into a full tent revival track backed really nicely by Willie Morris. Randall Bramblett adds his signature on B3 and Paul Hornsby contributes cool piano work. Very nice! On...
