Chick Willis "Blue Class Blues" Album Review

Chick's Best CD Ever!
From all the CD's that Chick has made this one is really GOOD. The production is excellent. Two of my favorite songs are. "Savannah Lee" and "I Ain't Looking For Much Crowd" but all the songs are good. Best of all they are clean!!!

Preston Shannon "All in Time" Album Review

King of Beale St
The highlight of my recent trip to Memphis was seeing Preston Shannon perform at BB King's on Beale St. Preston and his band put on an impressive performance, capped by a blistering 10-minute version of Prince's "Purple Rain". The version of the song included on this CD pales in comparison to the live jam, but it is a great take on a classic tune. The rest of the album features soulful performances, showcasing Preston's BB-esq guitar chops. A real find.

The Holmes Brothers "Where It's at" Album Review

The title of the cd says it all
A brilliant cd! Each time I listen to it, I recall going with my best friend, Joannne (where are you, girl?) to see The Holmes Brothers wow a crowd of music lovers in Portsmouth, NH in the early 1990's. Their harmonies and sense of joy were palpable; we danced to some amazing music that night and Joanne became an instant fan. This cd is a wonderful mix of blues, soul, gospel, and country and features Gib Wharton on steel, who for several years was an integral part of the band. Get the cd for yourself and a friend, and see the band when they hit your town.
