I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Live In Clarksdale, by RaShad The Blues Kid and it's hopping. Opening with Feel Alright, RaShad sets a funky beat on lead guitar and vocal with a thick bass line by Omari Jones on bass and Devin James on drums. Jock Webb Sr. on harmonica adds a lot of texture to the mix and with Gabriel Spells on keys, and Tyler Criglar and Jadarion Taylor on backing vocals, this track is moving. Up tempo rocker, Do It Right is bound to get everybody up and moving. With RaShad on vocal and guitar, Spells on keys, Webb on harmonica and a stiff bottom by James this track is a real rocker. Soul track, That's What You Are, is a strong contribution to the release with great vocals, a terrific melody, solid guitar tones, and a memorable beat. Slow blues, Singing The Blues, really digs deep with soulful vocals and solid harmonica by Webb winding down with super lead by RaShad. Jimmy Wilson's soul track, Tin Pan Alley, popularized by SRV among others get a real nice rework here with deeply soulful lead and backing vocals and my favorite guitar work on the track. Sit back and enjoy. Wrapping the release is driving Chicago style blues, Juke is a hardy jam with a solid bottom by Jones and James and coaxed along by RaShad and Webb. Solid closer for a cool release.
