 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...

TEXAS FLOOD - The Ramblin' Matt Trio

RAMBLIN' MATT plays bold and faithful to the original arrangements of country & delta blues classics from the likes of Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, Skip James, Son House, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Rev. Gary Davis, and Mississippi Fred McDowell among others featuring only lead vocals and guitar, played with or without slide. I am willing to perform in any types of venues, the act fits very well in small spaces such as coffee shops, small clubs, pubs and hotel bars and such. Also 1 hour sets for night live music venues.

Drunken Hearted Man - RAMBLIN' MATT

Ramblin' Matt is Mateo Garcia-Martin, originally from Spain now living in London. Since I can remember I have been fascinated by the blues in all its forms but to me there is nothing like the raw sound of the Country Blues from the pre-war years. In between the decade of 1920 and the beginning of the Second World War and thanks to the field recordings of Alan Lomax and others we have a legacy of many of the artists of the Mississippi Delta region. Names like Robert Johnson, Son House, Johnny Shines, the early Muddy Waters, Charly Patton and many others were the pioneers who helped to establish the roots of the blues and by extension rockan and roll and soul. After the first wave of recordings of the 1920's and 30's some of the artists dies, others gave up music to earn a life as waiters, truck drivers and builders until the publication of a single album helped to expose the genre to a legion of US and British musicians such as Mike Bloomfield, Alexis Korner, John Mayall and...
