💿 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...

House of Berry Productions artist: Kat Riggins and Her Blues Revival - Revival - New Release Review

Image
 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Revival , from Kat Riggins and Her Blues Revival , and it's soul drenched blues. Opening with shuffle, Lucky , Kat Riggins on lead vocal leads the chase with Shaelyn Mulberry and Mark Barner on backing vocals, understated but tasty lead guitar work by Erik Guess, and Tim Mulberry on bass, drums and keys. Solid opener. With a real great feel, Southern Soul , really gets swinging. Riggins vocals are soulful and Guess screams on guitar with great backing vocals by Mulberry and Barner. Set Me Free is one of my favorite tracks on the release with lush vocals and winding guitar work by Guess over a tight rhythm by Mulberry. Wrapping the release is soulful, Healer with it's subtle manner. With Guess and Mulberry creating the ambiance, Riggins takes it home. Solid closer for a very cool release.    If you support live Blues acts, up and coming Blues talents and want to learn more about Blues news and Father...
