Rod Piazza "Keepin it Real" Album Review
ho hum
Piazza is consistantly a good player year after year. His backup band continues to grow but I don't think the same can be said for Rod. I think many Piazza fans would love to see recorded more adventerous harmonica such as in the song "Devil Foot". This CD is well recorded (except for two of the songs being out of pitch, which may nag those of us who like to play along)and an honest reflection of what Piazza sounds like live.

Sam Myers "Coming from the Old School" Album Review
Solid, no-frills blues
Sam Myers is a longtime veteran of the blues, and believe it or not, this is his first solo album. Backed by a nice combo led by guitar legend Mel Brown, he storms through a set of mostly original's that showcase his fine singing and heavily amplified harp playing perfectly. There are a few covers of lesser known blues song's including Robert Lockwood's "My Daily Wish" and Otis Spann's "Burning Fire". Pick up this cd if you like rough and lowdown blues. This may not be the most essential blues album of all-time, but it's still very good.

Nick Curran and the Nitelifes "Player" Album Review
Nick Curran and the Nitelifes blow my mind!
I never stop listening and dancing to this CD. When I'm not listening to it I find myself humming or singing the songs! Preston Hubbard, former Fabulous Thunderbirds bass player, and Damien Llanes are an unbeatable rhythm section. Nick Curran has a voice that will melt any woman's heart and guitar skills to boot. With this CD, I never have to think about the stresses of buying gifts that everyone will love!

Tony Vega Band "Tastes Like Love" Album Review
Best Blues band you never heard of....
Yet. Watch for these guys. It's inevitable that at some point they'll get the national exposure they deserve. I came across them by accident and can't stop listening.
Really the best hard driving Texas guitar Blues I've heard in a long time. Some may make comparisons in part to Stevie Ray, the Thunderbirds, etc. While I think on some songs share some simililarities, I don't think they're derivitive of the genre as say, Los Lonely Boys can be at times. They definitely have their own unique approach and sound...hard to do in a style of music that has been done to death.
Vega's vocals and guitar playing is top notch and the band is tight and balanced. Check out the live album "Yeah, You Right" to hear how tight this band is.
Check them out.
