Bman's Blues Report

I have to admit … sometimes I think that I live under a rock. A number of months back I got a cd by Jackie Scott and the Housewreckers , Going To The Westside , for review and I wasn’t familiar with her work. At the time, I gave it a good review and stuck it in a drawer with CD’s to listen to later because it was good. My regular readers know I have been going through that drawer recently and pulling out the best of the best. Jackie Scott is high on the list. Her recording is incredible and when I watch video of her I wonder how I could have missed her. I mean this is the real deal! http://www.bmansbluesreport.com/2012/01/going-to-west-side-jackie-and.html " Jackie has been kind enough to take some time out to talk with me and I’m ready to listen! Bman: Hi Jackie! Where did you come from? I mean you are off the charts with talent and you can’t just be starting out! Tell me what you have been up to and how you got started.

I just received the newest recording, Going To The Westside , by Jackie Scott & The Housewreckers. This recording is a lot of fun. Jackie has a really solid voice and the band is cookin' funky! Don't look at the cover and say... "Oh yeah...I got it" . You don't! This is something special and you need to take the time to check it out. I'm on my 4th time through and it's really enjoyable. My favorite tracks are Pink Cadillac, I'm Tired and Been Trying To Figure Out but I found every track on the recording enjoyable. Often when I need to listen to a cd over and over it's because I am trying to find something to say. In this case, it's because I was trying to find words to describe how much I like it...in case you haven't noticed...unless I get on a rant...I haven't a lot to say. Oh, and Eddie Shaw is featured as well! If you like your blues funky with a lot of soul....this is your ticket. I'm keeping mine so don't ask me for ...
