Sage Arts artist: Marley's Ghost - Jubilee - New Release Review
I just received a new release, Jubilee , by Marley's Ghost . This release has very little "blues" content but I gotta tell you...it's really great! This recording has a veritable who's who of music stars including Emmylou Harris, John Prine, Old Crow Medicine Show, Marty Stuart, Larry Campbell, Byron House and Don Heffington. Now I gotta admit, I'm a blues guy who listens to other stuff that's good. This is great! The release is made up of 13 tracks, six which are originals. The band is Dan Wheetman, Jon Wilcox, Mike Phelan, Ed Littlefield Jr. and Jerry Fletcher. I guess that my job is to tell you what I like about this release... almost everything! The release opens with Rollin' which I would describe as a straight forward country song but I also got to tell you I hate country (by today's standards). I really like this track. It's clean, pure and interesting. The vocals, instrumentation and arrangement is superb. Second up is an uptempo ...
