Bman's Blues Report

I just received the newest release (March 25, 2014), Taking Sides , from the Terry Quiett Band and it's a blast! Opening with Come The Morning , a rockin' blues stomper featuring Missippi Hal Reed on harp, the band gets the blood flowing and Quiett wastes no time whipping out the resophonic for some cool sliding. Boogie track Nothing At All has a lot of bottom from Rodney Baker (drums) and Nathan Johnson (bass). This track is a hot ride and one of the rockinest tracks on the release. Cut The Rope has some of that southern blues rock swagger with smokin guitar riffs and hammering drums. What's not to like! Wheelhouse Blues has a standard 12 bar format allowing the band to get into full blues swing. Quiett has a slide signature all his own which in my listening is a compliment in itself. His vocal work on this track, well complimented by the smoothness of his sliding is very appealing. Voodoo Queen opens with an intro by Johnson and electric piano work by Scott Williams...

LISTEN TO TRACKS FROM A NIGHT AT THE ORPHEUM   00a7e9 Everybody’s talking… "The ultimate test for an electric guitarist is cutting it in a trio context and the 'Kansas Tornado' Terry Quiett leaves absolutely no doubt as to his bonafides. Following two acclaimed studio CDs, he, bassist Aaron Underwood and drummer Rodney Baker have created a lasting "record" of what they do best - rock an audience until t...

I remember a while back on one of my late night new blues band searches and coming across this cool band - Terry Quiett and thinking, wow... these guys are hot. I just received a copy of A Night At The Orpheum , a new release from the Terry Quiett Band . The release opens with Getting Through To Me , an Otis Rush like track. This is a great opening track and Quiett on vocals and guitar set a high bar for the rest of the show. He's a strong singer and wrings the neck of the guitar till it cry's out for Mama. Judgement Day is up next with Quiett demonstrating his ability on slide. Now I don't know what kind of axe he pulls out for this (typically a strat player) but it has a resonator fat sound and has a swampy sound. Quiett has an interesting vocal style that is very natural along the lines of Warren Haynes or Ronnie Van Zandt. He doesn't sound like he's trying to copy anyone...it's a special quality some people are just born with. next the band kicks out Big Ma...

Here's another track by Terry Quiett Band in case you missed the last one. These guys have a great sound. I particularly like the glistening chords. The winner of the 2010 Memphis Bound Competiton was the Terry Quiett Band. Terry and his band have Terry put on two smokin' hot performances for both the semi-finals and the finals. Here's the bio the band sent in for the competition: Over the last three years the Terry Quiett Band has played over three-hundred shows across the heartland of this country. They've mesmerized audiences with their original, blues-soaked, groove-inducing, soul-filled sound from 6th Street in "the live music capital" Austin to Beale Street in "the birthplace of rock and blues" Memphis.
