💿 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...

Lee Palmer - One Take: Live at Canterbury - New Release Review

I just received the debut release, One Take: Live at Canterbury by Lee Palmer and it has some very enjoyable music. Opening with Blues in EH , a jazzy shuffle track, I'm immediately drawn by Denis Keldie's piano work. David Woodhead is featured on a real nice bass run in this track complimenting smooth guitar pairings. Me and My 68 has a strong Texas swing style and features a fleet foot guitar solo on an upbeat toe tapper. Keldie runs the organ on this track adding interesting texture. Everyday Blues Jam is another hot swing shuffle and Keldie hauls out the Hammond for a good run but it's the hot guitar riffs on this track that are a real standout. Backing vocals from Jenn Kee add a nostalgic warmth. Woodhead again steps up and out with clean bass riffs and Al Cross lays down a hot drum solo. Title track, One Take , gets a strong funk beat going and and vocal harmonies with Palmer and Kee are really nice. A standout guitar solo on this track makes this one of the bet...
