 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Live , from Zac Harmon & The Drive and it's super! Opening with soulful, NTRO , Nate Robinson on bass and Gino Iglehart on drums set a solid foundation, with Corey Lacy building on keys and lush guitar work by Zac Harmon and Kingston Livingston really setting the bar. Terrific opener. Blue Pill Thrill has super movement and soulful vocals by Harmon. Lacy on keys works the rhythm with Robinson and Iglehart and Livingston and and Harmon play stinging riffs on guitar really giving this track some kick. Deep blues track, Feet Back On The Ground features Albert King like stinging riffs and super soulful vocals by Harmon. Keeping the music floor low allows Harmon plenty of space to go dynamically from soft to wow quickly adding real emotion to the track. Excellent! Boogie Down is a strong jam with a firm piano base by Lacy giving Harmon plenty of headroom for vocal corralling. Lacy lays in some real tasty keyboar...

I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Brand New Man , from Lee Delray and it's got guts. I don't mean it is doing something gutsy, but that it is rugged and guttural... yeah...cool! Opening with Blues rocker, Meet My Maker , Lee Delray is upfront and leading the charge on lead vocal and slide guitar. Backed by Scott Ward on bass and Ken Conklin on drums these guys have a take no prisoners attitude. Very cool. Classic blues track, I'll Play The Blues For You , maintains it cool funky groove but has a fresh new appeal. Delray's vocals are super and Ward's bass line is spot on. Delray's guitar soloing on this track is spontaneous and really bluesy. Showing a scorching hot rock attack, Blues Came Callin' has a cockiness that is hard to ignore. Delray's call and response vocals and guitar riffs are solid and effective. Lively R&B track, Love Line , puts me in mind of a terrific track by Tyrone Davis and this track is every bit...

It's A Little Too Late - Lee Delray

By Bman -

With over a quarter of a century under his belt and 14 years fronting his own band, Lee is causing quite the buzz on a national and international level. In 2013, Lee Delray headlined the 4th Annual Blues Bash in Hackettstown, N.J., along with Blues/Rock Legend Johnny Winter. He was also invited on as supporting act for “Superharp” James Cotton at The Stanhope House, N.J. Lee’s cd “570-BLUES” is getting airplay in over 15 countries and over 40 US states, and rapidly building a worldwide fan base. Lee’s style has been called a ferocious mix of Albert King, Albert Collins, and Luther Allison. He has also been compared to more modern artists like Tommy Castro, Nick Moss, Joe Moss, Chris Cain, and Bryan Lee. If you enjoy any of these artists you will love Lee Delray. Born in Florida and raised in N.Y.C., Lee started playing guitar at age 11 after finding an old flat top in a back corner of his garage. Lee gave up the guitar one year later for the drums after seeing a Krupa/Rich s...
