Robert Ward "New Role Soul" Album Review
Uptempo Blues/R&B CD
Robert Ward was the leader of the Falcons (Wilson Pickett's original group). Ward resurfaced after years of absence in the early 90's. New Role Soul is his newest release and a great CD to get acquainted with Robert Ward. New Role Soul is more R&B than blues, however this is R&B much like Little Milton or some of the Stax recordings in the 60's. Ward as always offers a very distinctive voice as well as guitar sound. The sound is full thanks in part to the B3 organ of Kevin McKendree which is a nice accomplice to Ward's guitar playing. The songs are a mix of new and some lesser known R&B classics. The last song on the disk is "Somethin Funky's Goin' On". Yes Robert there sure is and it is New Role Soul.

James and Lucky Peterson "If You Can't Fix it" Album Review
The real deal
I had never heard of James Peterson before, but this was the CD that his son Lucky was selling at his latest gig at Biscuits & Blues in San Francisco. I took it home and, on the strength of a great show, bought a couple of JP's CDs on Amazon. I got to tell you, though, "If You Can't Fix it" is my favorite. James' voice isn't as strong as it once was, but he's singing several of his own tunes (with Lucky playing organ) and he uses what he's got to great effect. He can still hit the notes he needs to, and his material is top-notch. Check out the title tune, and "Too Young to Die." These are the real blues. They could have been written yesterday, but the echoes go back a long time.

Son Seals "Live and Burning" Album Review
Great Live Son Seals Record
Son Seals shows his skillful and masterful guitar playing on "Live and Burning." Originally released in 1978, Seals is playful in mood and exquisite in his playing.
He shows his skills on such songs as "I Can't Hold Out," ""Blue Shadows Falling," "She's Fine," and "Call My Job."
Seals would succumb to diabetes years later, but would leave a legacy of great blues music. This record does nothing to dispel that notion.
