💿 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...

Heaven Tonight - Sister Morphin

Image
Why Sister Morphin? Here's a question that is often raised when people hear the name. It is difficult to remove the prejudice commonly associate the name with drugs. Actual Sister Morphin is simply a name taken from the title of the song The Rollingstones, "Sister Morphine", they write with Marianne Faithful. The name was used only for reasons related to the memory of the first love. In love with such kind of music which then leads to more than that. Herry found the title printed on the cover of an old tape was when he was 16 years old and use it to name his band during high school. Because no remember again the correct spelling, he lost the last alphabets. In 2006, Yulia joined as vocalist complement Herry (guitar), Adi (drums) and Andi (bass). They recorded "that's Better For Me", and send it to the L.A. Lights Indiefest 2007 competition, and they managed to top 40 se-Indonesia. In 2008 they tried again with a new formation, i.e. Yulia (vocals), Mohammed...

Crossroad Blues - Adrian Adioetomo

Image
Three years have passed since the release of “Delta Indonesia”, the debut album from Adrian Adioetomo, but the blues craze have only just begun. Under the label-namesake MySeeds records, Adrian released his album back in 2007. This album marked a statement of individuality among the Indonesian music scene, which seemed to have been divided by two; The Industry, and the Independent. .... .... Based on the delta-blues of the 1930’s, Delta Indonesia rogued away from any genres that have previously settled in Indonesia. ‘Delta’ is in no way a mainstream album, but neither it is a typical “indie” release of post-alternative music. This album is filled with delta-grit, lonesome singing, tricky slide-guitar playing, and downright gut-felt lyrics. The decidedly ‘vintage’ production aims more towards a stature of replica than to declare anything ‘retro’. Elected as one of the best albums to come out in 2007 by Rolling Stone Indonesia magazine, Delta Indonesia presented the wide audience with a...
