Bman's Blues Report

I just received the newest release, Moving , from Little G Weevil and it's quite good! G grew up in Hungary, seaming an odd place to learn the "real" blues but after moving to Alabama, Memphis and London now permanently calling Atlanta his home, G understands what the real blues is all about. Opening with Shook It and Broke It , G sets the table in rural style on an acoustic guitar with alternating thumb rhythm and a super blues voice. On My Way To Memphis is a bit uptempo and having the "call" of Mali music or John Lee Hooker. This is a really well written and performed track. Mean and Dirty is a bit more casual and laid back with Maurice Nazzaro on harp and Goodhue on drums. Boogie Through My Troubles has a really strong rural blues sound where the resonator almost sounds like a banjo and percussion is a foot stomp. Very cool! Let Someone Else Do All The Work has a real cool slide part on it (as a rhythm backing) adding real dynamics to G's certain b...

I just received the new remastered recording of George Thorogood' s Classic Move It On Ove r which will be released on July 30, 2013 and it sounds as fresh as the first time I heard it. Thorogood opens the release with a ripping rewrite of Hank Williams' classic Move It On Over . With reckless abandon, Thorogood plays his slide guitar and it was the sound that changed the face of rock/blues for a long time to come. Bo Diddly's Who Do You Love? follows and Thorogood does a great job in enhancing an already classic track. On Elmore James' The Sky Is Crying , Thorogood plays super primitive slide guitar style and with his fresh singing style does a terrific job of delivery on this superb track. A western attack of Cocaine Blues is a nice breather from the down and dirty giving the listener a finger pickin exhibition. On Chuck Berry's It Wasn't Me , Thorogood (and band, Jeff Simon on drums and Billy Blough on bass) delivers a fairly straight forward rendition of...
