I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Gorgeous Tone Records artist: Suzanne and the Blues Church - The Cost of Love - New Release Review


I have been listening to the new release, The Cost Of Love, by Suzanne and The Blues Church. This is a debut effort by singer, guitarist and songwriter Suzanne Thomas who has recently been playing guitar and bass with Taste of Honey. The Cost Of Love is a contemporary blues recording with Suzanne taking the lead throughout writing 8 of the 10 tracks as well as taking on vocal and lead guitar. Suzanne began playing piano at the age of six and switched over to guitar in her twenties so she has a professional grasp on music construction. The recording is full of hot guitar riffs and professional backing by Ray Bailey, Jerry Jones-Haskins, Frank W. Garrett, Patrice, Bruce Edwards, "Rev" Charles Jones, Tyree, BR Milton and Jimmy "Z". The recording doesn't stagnate in a singular groove but moves around in a number of blues areas but most songs of tortured love. Suzanne covers All Your Love and Damn Right (I Got The Blues). Musta Been Gone Too Long is a funky blues that will get you up and moving.Dusty 6 String Box is a old tale told over a blues riff played on an old acoustic guitar (sound). Suzanne doesn't wait long after the conclusion of this to jump on the gas with Poor Man's Dream, a funk infused rock blues. Set Me Free has a dual guitar lead, one under the mix and one on top of the mix cutting with Suzanne's best vocals on the recording.

Overall an interesting recording. Check it out!
