Hunnia Records artist: Little G Weevil - Live Acoustic Session - New Release Review

Image
 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Live Acoustic Set , from Little G Weevil , and I really like it. From the intro on original track, Keep Going , you can tell that Little G Weevil's newest release is going to be good. Totally acoustic and alone, Weevil shows a respect and love for the original delta style blues.  Another Weevil composition, Real Men Don't Dance , shows a lot of similarities to Hill Country blues style with very simple guitar riffs and call and response between his acoustic guitar and his own lead vocal. Very nice. On R L Burnside's Early In The Morning , Weevil rides tight on a traditional blues riff and wails the blues from his gut. With thumped strings and percussive raps on the guitar body, Weevil shows all the prowess of a delta blues man. Fluid lead runs and a great story line characterize Sasha Said , a straight up Chicago style blues track. Morganfield flavored, Apple Picker , is deep. Weevil really drills down on the gui...

VizzTone Label Group artist: Little G Weevil - Something Poppin' - New Release Review

Image
I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Something Poppin' , from Little G Weevil and it's really different. Opening with high energy rocker, Here I Come Knocking , Little G leads the way on vocal and guitar, joined by Daniel Harper on drums, Marton Pfeff on bass, Laci Borsodi on rhythm guitar, Matyas Premecz on keys, and Danny Del Toro on harp. Very cool. With a distinctive R&B feel, title track, Something Poppin' shows a slinky side with thick vocals by Little G and cool backing vocals by Rebeka Easley Ellis and Sharika Allen Brown on backing vocals. With cool guitar riffs and a solid bass line, this is a cool track. Really cool R&B track, When You Want Me To Deal With This , is one of my favorites on the release featuring super vocals by Little G and a strong bass line by Pfeff. Premecz's key work sparkles and Little G lays in some real nice guitar riffs. You Can't Say Nothing has a real nice instrumental interlude featuring ...

Breezin' - Gabor Szabo

Image
Gábor Szabó (8 March 1936 – 26 February 1982) was a Hungarian jazz guitarist, famous for mixing jazz, pop-rock and his native Hungarian music. Szabó was born in Budapest and began playing guitar at the age of 14, inspired by jazz music on the Voice of America broadcasts. He escaped Hungary and moved to the United States in 1956, a year of attempted revolt against Soviet-dominated Communist rule, and attended the Berklee School of Music in Boston. In 1958, he was invited to perform at the Newport Jazz Festival. Szabó performed with the Chico Hamilton quintet from 1961 to 1965, and beginning in 1966 he recorded a well-received span of albums under his own name on the Impulse! label. In the late 1960s he co-founded the short-lived Skye record label along with Cal Tjader and Gary McFarland. On the Skye label, Szabo recorded his album with Lena Horne in October and November 1969. Szabo had been part of Horne's backup band when she performed at The Nugget in Nevada in November 1966 and ...

Hosszúlábu asszony - Hobo Blues Band

Image
A Hobo Blues Band (vagy a kezdőbetűkből rövidítve HBB) egy magyar blues-rockegyüttes, amely 1978-tól 2011-ig működött. Az együttes Földes László "Hobo" becenevéről kapta a nevét, aki az egyik alapító tag. Kezdetben The Doors-, Jimi Hendrix- és The Rolling Stones-számokat játszottak, majd saját stílusuk is ezt a hangvételt vette át, amely blues-rock, rock and roll, hard rock és tradicionális blues elemekből áll. Később a magyar könnyűzene számos meghatározó, kiemelkedő alakja megtalálható volt a zenekar tagjai között, mint például: Póka Egon, Tátrai Tibor, Solti János, Deák Bill Gyula, Döme Dezső, Fuchs László, Szénich János, Tóth János Rudolf, Tomsits Rudolf, Závodi János. Első hangversenyük a Lőrinci Ifjúsági Parkban, első klubjuk pedig a MOM Kultúrházban volt. Vendégművészek voltak koncertjeiken például Presser Gábor és Allen Ginsberg amerikai költő is. Országszerte és határon túl is rendszeresen koncerteztek, rendszeres vendégei voltak a különböző művészeti rendezvényeknek...

I'm Gonna Write You a Letter With My Chicago Typewriter - Pugsley Buzzard

Image
Pugsley Buzzard plays the piano somewhat like Chico Marx, Thelonious Monk, Professor Longhair, Fats Waller and the Devil. He resembles a grizzly bear in a porkpie hat rummaging through a piano. His music spans the entire gamut from dark hoodoo blues musings to good time rollicking boogie piano. Pugsley writes his own material but also likes to interpret all sorts of classic material from old parlour songs, show tunes, work songs, blues, jazz, funk, cartoon music, film scores and more. He has composed for film and theatre and ensembles big and small. Write on our Facebook Wall or post your Photos of great blues events! -  Here
