💿 ALBUM REVIEW: John Primer and Friends - Tribute To Theresa's Lounge

Image
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...

Until The Sun - Enchantment - New Release Review

Image
 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Enchantment , from Until The Sun and it's a serious rocker with a blues gut. Opening with Enchantment Pt. 1 , Brandon Teskey on guitar and bass creates and solid rock tone, underscored by Chris Tex on drums. All Over Again , features Alyssa Swartz on lead vocals showing her dynamic range from quiet to shouting and very effectively, over the arpeggiation of the melody by Teskey on guitar. With layered bass and powerful, articulate guitar soloing, all held tight by Tex, a very cool track. High energy rocker, Dragon Below, is really pushed by Tex and Swartz paired with Lon Cooper and karee Kudebeh on backing vocals. Teskey again gets a real nice opportunity to take his axe for a ride and does a very nice job. Lieber and Stoller's Hound Dog gets a total rework a potent bottom by Teskey, with substantial guitar interpretation and a punchy beat, all pulled together by soulful vocals by Swartz. Cool. Bluesy, Seek The Sun...
