Blues rock that taps into Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Santana. Woodson is a veteran East Bay guitarist who has played in rock, soul, blues and reggae bands. His band the Ralph Woodson Trio played original music and Hendrix covers, among others. When he and his band mates about a half-dozen years ago donned psychedelic ’60s clothes and made a full tribute group called the Ralph Woodson Experience, it became more popular. Eventually, the name changed to Purple Haze, and, like many rising groups, it moved from Crystal Bay Casino’s Red Room to the larger Crown Room.
Woodson mixes some of his originals in a Purple Haze set, and last year released an album, “Incredible Dreamer.” Woodson proved what those who have heard him before already know: he’s a virtuoso on the guitar. In fact, he a played all of the instruments on his album. Some jazz tracks on “Incredible Dreamer” give a hint, we surmise, as to his greatest passion, save for his appreciation of Hendrix.
“Jimi  would pull stuff out of the air,” Woodson said. “That was, ‘Wow! Where did that come from? I understood when he was doing Albert King licks but now, what is this?’ His creativeness was way out there.”

Biography: Singer/songwriter Kelly Bell is emerging as one of the hottest artists on the east coast contemporary blues & alternative music scenes. In fact, Kelly has fronted Baltimore/Washington's most successful blues band for nearly five years, garnering Music Monthly Readers' Poll Awards as Best Blues Band, Best New Artist, and Best Male Vocalist for the mid-Atlantic region. As well as Best Groove Band from the City Paper The Kelly Bell Band plays a combination of funk and blues that Kelly calls PHAT blues. Explains the singer: "PHAT blues combines a real nice pocket groove, funky bass lines, traditional guitar licks, fiery piano parts, and my own 'soulful scream.' It's Muddy Waters meets Parliament Funkadelic with shades of D.C. Go-Go." The Kelly Bell Band -- comprised of Kelly on lead vocals (and percussion), Ira Mayfield on guitar, Brett Sharbaugh on bass, Kirk Myers on keyboard, and Eric True on drums, electrifies each and every audience with Kelly's powerful and soulful vocal style, accompanied by critically-acclaimed, solid musicianship. They perform more than 200 shows per year, often opening for such prestigious acts as Bo Diddley, Bobby "Blue" Bland, James Cotton, Buckwheat Zydeco, Better Than Ezra, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, and longtime Kelly Bell colleague and friend G. Love. "My audience spans all generations and backgrounds," Kelly sums up. "Age, race, class...all that goes out the window at a Kelly Bell show. PHAT blues speaks directly to the soul."  ~ Geoffrey Himes, The Washington Post

"So i finally sat down and gave tom mcguinness's self-titled album a proper listen. yeah, the name might not ring bells for everyone, but this dude's got history-man was in manfred mann back in the 60s, part of that british invasion wave. and honestly? it shows. this record dropped in 2001 (or 2002? whatever, close enough), and it's one of those low-key releases that doesn't scream for attention. no flashy production, no guest stars. just tom, his guitar, and a bunch of songs that feel like they've been sitting in a drawer waiting to be played. what i liked? the vibe. it's warm, lived-in. you can tell he's not trying to impress anyone-he's just doing his thing. tracks like  "the wrong woman" have this smooth, bluesy rock feel. nothing groundbreaking, but it's honest. his voice is kinda rough around the edges, which works. feels real, y'know? marcus cliffe did pretty much everything else-bass, keys, drums, even produced it. dude's a beast. the instrumentation's tight but not overdone. it leaves space for tom's guitar to breathe. and that harmonica on "momma tried to tell me"? chef's kiss. gives me blues-rock chills. but... not all of it hits. some tracks blend together after a while. "make up your mind" is solid, but it doesn't stick. and there's a reprise of "that's the blues" later that feels unnecessary. like, we get it, you like the blues. cool. move on. also, the pacing's a bit off. throws in a 38-second track called "long gone" ? what even is that? a joke? an accident? felt more like a placeholder than a song. still, i kept coming back to "losing you put the blues in me." man, that one aches in the best way. raw, slow burn, with lyrics that don't try too hard. same with "laura lee"-simple story, nice melody, sticks with you. overall? it's not a masterpiece. probably why it's rated 2.0 on discogs. but i kinda love that about it. it's the kind of album no one expected, made by someone who didn't need to prove anything. no pressure, no hype. and here's the weird part-i think that's exactly why it works. not because it's perfect, but because it's not. feels like something you'd find in a dusty record shop, play once, forget, then rediscover years later and go "wait, this is actually good." so yeah. give it a spin if you're into under-the-radar brit rock with soul. just don't expect fireworks. sometimes a quiet flame burns longer" ~ bandcamp.com.

C.C. Bronson hails from Florida, where she grew up on gospel music and learned the blues from her great-uncle Dave, with whom she spent many a childhood summer dancing in his living room at Bobby Blue Bland or B.B. King in Bradenton, Florida. While C.C. has many musical influences at the top of her list, her mother, Ruby Lee, is a lifelong church musician. Consequently, you will always hear gospel influence in her music. C.C.'s diverse career includes stints with world-renowned acts like Monroe Powell touring the US, Japan, and Canada; she was a featured artist with the Golden Gospel Singers of Harlem on tour in Germany; she studied and performed under the late Phil Osterman (Broadway director); and she opened for the talented Sue Foley. At the end of the day, C.C. feels that the blues is truly the root of American music; it's where her heart and soul are anchored. "I would like to thank all of you who took some time out of your busy day to listen to each other." C.C. Bronson/

It’s been about 23 years since Cheryl Arena released her debut CD Blues Got Me. After all of this time, the disc still serves as a fine document of her abilities and she can still use it as a calling card to get into all kinds of venues. Her songs range from inventive originals clever of arrangements of timeless classics, from basic, assertive guitar driven blues songs to more elaborate horn laden material for big bands. Produced by the legendary Duke Robillard, Arena’s talents on vocals and harmonica manage to standout among her impressive song craft and imaginative arrangements. Arena really gets her harmonica groove on during her cover of Little Walter’s “Baby.” She rides the classic harmonica line well, keeping it flinty, emotive, and tasteful while making those notes spiral off in a pleasant direction. It’s uncanny how her smooth, pretty vocal sounds so natural and empowered next to her horn section’s thrusting tuft of musical muscle.Arena gets into more witty writing with “He Ain’t No Prince,” turning the fairy tale metaphor around to make a point about disappointment and disillusionment. Her sultry approach makes one realize this lady just elevated her taste and will be on the prowl for a finer gentleman. Matt McCabe’s piano here is another highlight, a classy series of notes that makes one imagine Arena wearing a long black dress and white velvet gloves and pearls as the lights come up over her in the city’s finest establishment.Arena gets to showcase more of her harmonica zeal on Charles Grossley‘s “You Better Change.” This time around, Arena commits herself to a fierce line, one she blows out with melodic precision and emphatic boom. She has to. She’s blowing alongside ace guitarist Matt Woodburn and over bassist Ted Bukowski and her CD drummer Michael Dunford. This one is just a spinning top of excitement.Arena closes out her incredible album with an arrangement of Philemon Hou’s “Grazing In The Grass.” Her lilting harmonica line wafts beautifully over a rhythmic piano line and peppy percussion. It’s a fine farewell for now song and the harmonica player leaves us with a sweet desert to remember the main courses of her CD.Arena had much to be proud of with this Blues Got Me masterwork and to this day it helps her win over new fans as much as her live shows, live performances that run the gamut from classy chanteuse to high energy aggression. We can only hope that Ms. Arena is around the scene for a long, long time.

Not long ago, after somewhat of a reunion, the guys got together to jam. They soon realized that their style of music is as fresh and exiting today as it was 30 years ago. They enjoyed the experience so much that they re-established themselves as The Soulsetters Rockin' Blues Band. They decided to accept only selective engagements where their focus would be 'having a good time'. The Band continues to provide a refreshing interpretation of Blues, 60's R&B and classic early '50's Rock. They call their music 'Rocking Blues'. What is 'Rockin' Blues'? Rockin' Blues is a general category for Blues, Swing, R&B, Boogie, Shuffle, Funk, New Orleans, Chicago, and Texas Blues, and good old Rock and Roll. In-other-words: It is music that makes you want to tap your feet, bop your head, and dance.

King, Junior Wells, Big Joe Turner, Willie Dixon, Luther Allison, Wilson Picket, Sam & Dave, Buddy Guy, etc., and classic early '50's Rock Artist like Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Fats Domino, Carl Perkins, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, etc. The Soulsetters Rockin' Blues Band interprets the music in their own unique way that appeals to a wide variety of music lovers.

The Robbie Ducey Band have collectively performed around The Southlands since the late sixties. RDB released their first Cd "The Edge Of Reality" in 1995 with hearty acceptance. The Breeze Radio Network gave the group a lot of airplay on the east coast, often as Artist Pick Of The Month. RDB took a break in 1998 after losing their original drummer, but picked things up again in September 2002. In July 2003 the band recorded "Down Right Dirty Shame" and released it in March 2004. Robbie and the guys are extremely proud of the cd. It covers a lot of musical groundand separates itself from most other contemporary blues recordings by offering mostly original songs. The exception being a kicking shuffle version of "You Ain't Nothin' But A Hound-Dog".

As the name suggests, New Pony Funk lives on the funky side of town, and their live shows bear witness to their long-standing residency in the neighborhood.  This is a tight, powerful band with some serious muscle.  As influences, they cite The Meters, Tower of Power, Dumpstaphunk, The Isley Brothers, Sly and the Family Stone, but when all is said and done NPF is a home-grown Philly Original.  The members of NPF all met at a monthly music showcase at the now defunct Tritone in 2005.  When they met, each was doing their own thing, but as it so often goes at these events, they ended up sitting in with each other for an impromtu set.  After the set, one thing led to another and the guys got to talking, and after a few beers and some "music nerd" conversation, it became pretty obvious that a new band was brewing.  They got together for a few rehearsals, worked up a set's worth of material, and played their first show at the same music showcase the next month.  And now, much to everyone's surprise, nearly 18 years and about 1000 shows later, New Pony Funk is still going strong.
To date NPF has released two CD's, 2015's "Make Your Move," and in July of 2022, their newest recording, "Let's Get Real," dropped.  "Let's Get Real" was recorded in March-April of 2022 and came together rather quickly.  Most of the songs had been written between 2016 and 2022 and were already frequent fliers in their live shows.  They reflect the concerns of the times.   The band takes an oblique turn to the political in "Are You Ready," while "Now Some Light" cautiously celebrates the return to normalcy and live performance post-COVID with the refrain "it's been a couple years/ Now I'm so glad to see you here."  
In their years together, NPF has opened for Bonerama, The George Porter Trio, Bernie Worrell, The Budos Band, and Papa Grows Funk, they've played at any number of local and regional festivals, and until COVID came along, they were one of the featured acts at BlocktoberFest for 7 years straight.

If Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan had a musical prodigy, his name would be Brian Kahanek. Part Texas styled Blues Craftsman, part Southern Rocker and one hundred percent authentic …he lays his soul bare combining dynamic musicianship with boy-next-door charm.
He soaked in the fundamentals of his instrument at the University of North Texas, recognized as one of the largest and most prestigious colleges for music performance in the US. There, Brian was exposed to a wide range of musical influences that continue to inspire and shape his tone. While attending classes, he found he could not ignore the real world education playing the local club scene. Responding to this loud and early call of a professional career in music, he fast tracked graduation, and departed Texas for Los Angeles, where Brian spent over a decade playing the California club circuit.
Classic venues like The Viper Room, Molly Malone’s, BB King’s, The Mint…these were the esteemed halls where audiences first experienced Kahanek’s sonic signature. It was in LA where a track from his first album, “Real Life”, was picked up and featured in the 2006 version of Guitar Hero, the seminal video game that broke sales records and garnered Kahanek worldwide attention.
On the heels of the success of Guitar Hero, Brian released his sophomore record „Suicide King“. He followed up this record with regional live dates and session work on Grammy award winning records.
While honing his live show, Brian wrote, recorded and released his third record, „One True Thing“. This dynamic collection of original tracks conveys a potent sense of optimism, and further established his blend of Blues and no-holds barred Rock n’ Roll.
Along this journey, Brian has also recorded guitars and mixed for some of music’s top artists including: Tim McGraw, Multi-platinum Latin Group RBD (Rebels), Virgin recording artist – Betzi, Walt Disney Pictures, Warner Bros Pictures… In fact Brian’s guitar work is featured on the 2006 number one single and record in the Latin American market “Save Me” from RBD’s (Rebels) debut.
Transforming his vision from the studio to the stage, Brian’s live performances are often described as dynamic and very personal. His energy-packed sets pull people out of their seats and into the moment. It’s a place that transcends genre and connects everyone in the room to an elevated space. It’s not just a show…it’s an experience.

Influenced by T-Bone Walker at a young age, he played guitar since childhood. He will meet, indeed, Walker in 1954 for the first time and will accompany him regularly on stage the following years. In 1955, he met Joe Hughes another Texan guitarist who became a close friend. Two years later, Pete formed his own band. He becomes particularly a regular attraction of Double Bayou Dance Hall led by his uncle Manuel Rivers. In 1960, he moved to Houston and frequent local blues and jazz musicians. But his income as an artist are not enough and he takes different jobs to earn a decent living (including house painter). In the meantime, in the 60's and 70's, he recorded some singles as a leader especially for local label Ovide. Pete cut also four titles behind Junior Parker in 1969 for Blue Rock (a trademark of Mercury). In this CD proposed by Collectables are compiled first singles from Pete Mayes between 1967 and 1991. Therefore, the whole is quite heterogeneous but rather draws a compelling overview of the first part of this Texan guitarist's career. The sound quality is not always good. Despite this, several titles can be listened with pleasure : "Christmas holidays", "Locked out", "The world is out" and instrumental "West Coast blues" and "Texas jump".

12. Don't Do It Here - 3:40

When the annals of ‘60s soul are finally written, the name of Gary ‘U.S.’ Bonds is sure to be included. Although not as famous as Otis or Aretha or even Solomon Burke, Bonds’ immense influence on rock ‘n’ roll was sealed with the 1961 hit single “Quarter To Three,” a rollicking musical party that inflamed the imaginations of numerous future rockers, including Bruce Springsteen. 
Twenty years after his commercial peak, Bonds was “rediscovered” in 1981 by Springsteen and Little Steven (Van Zandt), the trio creating a pair of excellent rock-n-soul recordings. After an overlooked 1984 album that suffered due to the lack of an Asbury Park connection, Bonds quietly hit the oldies circuit…
Gary U.S. Bonds’ Back In 20
Two decades later, Gary ‘U.S.’ Bonds has returned with a fine collection of red-hot R&B and scorching blues tunes titled, well, Back In 20. If the slashing opening guitarwork on “Can’t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks” sounds familiar, it’s because guest Bruce Springsteen has used variations on the riff before, if not always as effectively. When Bonds comes in with his semi-biographical tale, the song explodes into a raucous blend of soulful vocals, madcap instrumentation and jump-n-jive spirit. Much of Back In 20 hits a similar groove, Bonds jumping between original rave-ups like “Murder In the First Degree” and classic soul covers like “Fannie Mae” or the Otis Redding ballad “I’ve Got Dreams To Remember.”
Guests on Back In 20 include Springsteen and Southside Johnny, Phoebe Snow and former Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts. The guests don’t overshadow Bonds’ fine soul band, however. Led by guitarist Mark Leimbach, who co-wrote several of the original songs, the band builds a solid foundation for Bonds’ powerful vocals. With a unique vocal inflection and a raw quality that has more in common with Chuck Berry than with the church-nurtured, silk crooning of Sam Cooke or Jackie Wilson, it’s easy to see why a handful of early-60s Bonds hits proved so influential with young rockers. Gary U.S. Bonds may not roll out any new tricks with Back In 20, but why should he when the old tricks still sound so good? (MC Records, released 2004)

Matt Hill's debut is a powerful collection of blues-rock named in honor of his legendary stage antics. Hill plays guitar on his back, stage dives into the crowd, rips off his clothes, and jumps onto the tables closest to the stage. With Hill acting like the bastard child of Jerry Lee Lewis and Nappy Brown, his uncontained shows have made him a legend around his hometown of Greensboro, NC. This album will introduce the rest of the country to this blazing, over the top artist. He's obviously listened to a lot of early rock, R&B, and Chicago blues, and while the music of his heroes may still be evident in his music, he's got an outrageous style all his own. The album's 14 cuts include 11 Hill originals, given in-yer-face performances marked by Hill's guitar prowess, soulful gritty vocals that belie his youth, and a dark sense of humor that makes them crackle. "I Tried to Love a Crazy Woman" brings Muddy Waters to mind with its snarling vocal, ominous Delta-meets-Chicago groove, and a searing guitar solo of tortured bent notes. Hill shows off his slide work on "Children (That Ain't Mine)," another country-style tune that hints at madness and murder. Rockers include the album opener, "Time Is Up," which features Hill's stinging solos and a nasty harp solo from Tad Walters; "Griddle Bread Boogie," a swinging instrumental that gives Hill a chance to show of his lap steel guitar prowess; and "30 Years Old," an exuberant ode to self-destruction that insouciantly declaims "I won't see 30 years old/I can't slow down now/I got a reputation to uphold." He's just as good at delivering the covers he put on the album. AC/DC's "Hellz Bellz" gets remade as a Chuck Berry rocker while Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "I'm Gonna Hit That Highway" retains its traditional feel with Dave Gross supplying ripping piano arpeggios and Hill's brief solo carving out its own unique space. Still, in years to come, people will probably remember this album for introducing Hill and Bob Margolin's "Why the F*ck (Do You Think I Cuss)," which could well become Hill's signature tune. The song is perfect for his bad-boy persona, another Berry-esque bit of country-flavored '50s rock that's peppered with so much profanity it becomes comical. Hill's screaming vocals and a thick twang-heavy bass solo make it the album's standout track.

Lewis Stubbs Junior - West Nashville Sky

Bitrate:320K/s
Year:2026
Time:25:19 
Size:58,6 MB 
Label:Tulip Tree Records 
Styles:Blues/Rock/Americana

Tracks Listing:
 1. When I Hear - 2:58
 2. West Nashville Sky - 1:38
 3. Back Home to You - 3:10
 4. Blues Done Got Me in a Hole Right Now - 2:29
 5. Never Too Late to Get Down - 4:32
 6. Best I Can Tell - 2:57
 7. W.C. Blues - 3:16
 8. Heads Up - 4:16

Stubbs wrestles with themes that are hard-edged such as addiction, recovery, alienation & survival. Decades ago, when artists started their careers, they aspired to the style & fame of Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly & later The Beatles & Rolling Stones. But today, it seems more glitz & fashion for the mainstream purveyors of pulp music. In the case of Lewis Stubbs Junior & others like him, it’s more about self-expression & through it, their trials & tribulations. Write, sing & play your own music from a deeper well, your well. Lewis draws from the well of the past & puts his own spin on it, or should I say his own hubcaps. The 8 songs on West Nashville Sky (Drops April 3/Independent/25:19) are succinct & come from a personal place, as a lived-in portrait & to be blunt “getting your shit together,” as Lewis said in so many words. While Lewis doesn’t have the deep baritone of Robert Gordon, his appeal is borderline rockabilly — not overheated, but vivid. It’s like a Florentine steak – a minute or two on each side, then dig in. “When I Hear” has old-fashioned spice in its rock with a pinch of Duane Eddy/Lonnie Mack finesse on guitar. Quite cool. The instrumental “West Nashville Sky” features CJ Colandrea’s pedal steel guitar & it’s sweet. “Back Home To You” has a marvelously picked guitar & Lewis’ vocal is sharp as a saber. The pedal steel cruises while Lewis’ vocals capture the essence of another era, but never retro. He owns this reinforced application of R&R both in ballad form & when it percolates. Lewis unleashes his Jerry Lee Lewis persona on “Blues Done Got Me In a Hole Right Now,” which features Chad Abel (keyboards) among the gutsy lead guitar & shuffling drums. Good work on this arrangement, weighty without being weighed down. Filled with cruising speed & the song goes full-tilt with genuine dance floor appeal as the sparks fly off toes & heels.
“Never Too Late To Get Down” has late-career J. Geils Band soul/R&B punch to it. Honking saxes & snappy snare beats. Old-fashioned R&R but with reliable strength. With “Heads Up,” it’s not quite as energetic & white-knuckle tight as Ragnar Zavaran (“It’s All Different Now”), but Lewis has lots of moxie, muscle & coherence here. Strap yourself in, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
Musicians – Brad Clark (bass), Chris Long (drums), Randy Boen (keys), Chris West (horns) & Lucy Stubbs (bgv).

With ALL THINGS BRIGHT, Carrieri goes even deeper in search of the blues. Bringing out his virtuosic skills on his own, with the effortlessness of a veritable oneman-band bluesman at the crossroads, Carrieri is now ready to take his listeners on a
Delta journey of his own making. (To be sure, Alessio Gavioli ably remains on the drums with the steadiness of a stern wheel.) The result is a deeply honest and farranging celebration of blues landmarks, from its slide-dominated Mississippi Delta country roots up to the rag-timey and boogie beats, Hopkins’ talking blues, alongside Piedmont picking, to the Chicago styles of Carrieri’s exemplars, Big Bill Broonzy, John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters.

"The New Vintage Blues Band was the brainchild of Dennis Dalton and Jim Dalton, who founded the band in 1996. New Vintage's mission was to provide an offering of early and modern blues. We have since deviated somewhat to include some classic rock number which we consider "offspring" of the blues. We are influenced by Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, Mark Knopfler, Willie Dixon, Bob Marley, and Eric Clapton" ~ Dennis Dalton/

Two time Grammy Award-wining bassist Jerry Jemmott was one of the pre-eminent session bassists of the late 1960s and early 1970s, working with an impressive cross section of the era's finest soul, jazz and blues artists. He grew up in a family of Civil Rights activist, in the Bronx, New York and honed his skills during the struggle that continues on to this day. 
The Blues is all about faith; so here is a collection of our most popular Blues songs featuring "Patience" produced by Souler Energy, on the Whachagonnado Records label.
Songs:
1. It's We -  Feat. Mike Finnegan, Guitar Shorty,
David Garfield, John Altman & Steve Ferone.
2. In the Moon Light - Feat. Connie Fredericks Malone,
Sam Leon, Stan Wright, Tom Kaelin and Steve Blum.
3. Patience -  Feat. Lisa Andersen, Bernard Fowler,
Lora Lee Christensen, Jim Pugh, Kid Andersen and
Derrick D’Mar Martin.
4. Hey, Jerry He Treats Me Right  - Feat. Connie Fredericks Malone, Stan Wright, Tom Kaelin and Steve Blum. 
Gerald Joseph Stenhouse Jemmott grew up in New York City and began playing the bass when he discovered Paul Chambers at age ten; by age 12, he was already skilled enough to perform in public, and studied Charles Mingus intensely. He got his big break when he was discovered by R&B/jazz saxophonist King Curtis, and played on his first recording sessions in 1966, including Nina Simone's The Blues album. Thanks to his Atlantic Records connection through Curtis, Jemmott soon found work backing other Atlantic soul stars, like Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, the Rascals, Clarence Carter, Don Covay, and Roberta Flack. But that was just the tip of the iceberg; Jemmott also recorded with blues legends like B.B. King, Freddie King, Otis Rush, and Champion Jack Dupree over the next decade, and backed jazz stars like Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Les McCann, Eddie Harris, Shirley Scott, Houston Person, George Benson, Archie Shepp, Lionel Hampton, Herbie Mann, Eddie Palmieri, and Richard "Groove" Holmes. Around 1975, Jemmott's session activity started to tail off; in the years that followed, he worked in both film and theater as an arranger and conductor, and produced several instructional books and videos on the art of bass playing (including one in tandem with Jaco Pastorius).

Down Home Remedy is the 2nd CD to be released by Belleville, IL/St. Louis, MO musician Joseph “UJ” Miller, following after the release of his 1st CD, Back Alley Blues and Beyond. UJ is from musical family, as his grandfather used to perform throughout the region of St. Louis into southern Illinois. In addition, UJ’s father and brother both play guitar and piano. UJ himself has been singing from the age of 4 or 5, and has participated in talent shows and has been a member of a number of bands that never developed. It would be fair to classify UJ as a roots music artist who has a love of the blues, with the blues forming the bedrock of the majority of the songs on Down Home Remedy. UJ’s influences are varied, ranging from earlier influences such as Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry and B.B. King to later influences such as Gatemouth Brown and Michael Burks; not a poor musical choice among them. UJ seems to greatly enjoy being part of the St. Louis music community (family!) and from what I’ve heard on the CD that same community should be proud to count UJ as a member.
The Songs:
1. Down Home Remedy --This track leads off the CD in fine fashion, and is the "sound" that UJ could really run with. The tune is played in a sparse band format, kind of back porch thing, with lots of space among the instruments, and with UJ's warm voice working the lyrics. Also, St. Louis guitar queen Melissa Neels provided very tasty unobtrusive lead guitar lines as a guest artist throughout the song.
2. Irene, Goodnight --UJ has another winner on his hands here. It's a rootsy, folksy take on this old standard, but on this cut UJ sings and strums acoustic guitar while Melissa Neels provide more of her tasty lead guitar work.
3. Personal Blues --UJ tries his hand at a straight acoustic blues number here. It's UJ singing, Hitman Hendricks on slide guitar, and Tim Berg on harmonica. While it's not a bad track at all, it's not quite as strong as the 1st two numbers on the CD.
4. Steppin' Out Tonight --This is a simple back-porcher about hanging out with some pals in the evening time, just enjoying each others' company (as well as an adult beverage or two) as a way to shake off a melancholy mood (I couldn't bear to place the word "blues" there!)
5. Wish I Was A Chicken Hawk --This is UJ's take on the old “flying like a chicken hawk” theme. It's a lot more laid back than most occurrences of these songs, as most of them rev it up and swing like crazy. This is actually a nice change of pace, nice and down-homey, with only voice, acoustic guitar and acoustic harp. Tim Berg's harmonica work on this is right on.
6. Baby, Baby Don't Do That Anymore --This one is a fairly standard 3-piece acoustic blues number, consisting of acoustic guitar chording, slide guitar and vocals.
7. 40-64 Blues --This song is the tale of UJ's own blues set upon him by the closure of St. Louis' Highway 40 (Interstate 64) for 2 years due to reconstruction of a 12-mile long segment of the highway through the heart of the metro area. Unfortunately, now that the highway has reopened the lyrics sound a little dated. Melissa Neels is on hand again, though, playing lead guitar on an acoustic model – she should try more of this because it sounds great!
8. Rough Groove --Good move, UJ, as this tune is a complete change of pace as compared to the previous songs. I've like everything up to now, but a bit of "sameness" was creeping in due to the similar instrumentation and style of those songs. This is something completely different; it's an instrumental piece, by no means a blues, but with a very nice rootsy vibe. I think I would have titled the tune Cool Groove rather than Rough Groove, as the song isn't rough, but it is indeed very cool!
9. Poor Boy Blues --Now this track does sound more like a rough groove. It's UJ on acoustic guitar and Tim Berg on slide, performing an ominous sounding duo blues. I like this track very much, as UJ's warm but weary voice fits the song well.
10. I'm Coming Home --Here is another song that falls outside the typical pattern found on the CD. It's a melancholy tune with martial drums and a haunting organ added. I would have like to have heard organ used on a few more tracks on the CD; it sounds great here. Anyway, this has a vaguely "House of the Rising Sun" feel to it. That one is haunting and melancholic as well.
11. Down Home Remedy – acoustic version --We have a 2nd version of the CD's title track here. This one takes us back "down home", and it sounds fine. It's got a nice groove working, but the groove has that sound that just begs for the song to start off sparse and then continue to build in intensity throughout its length. At the end of the 1st verse and chorus I was expecting the song to ratchet-up a notch in intensity, and then continue this pattern throughout. Think about trying that arrangement with this tune sometime, UJ; please? It should also be noted that Melissa Neels appears once again on acoustic lead guitar!
12. An Angel To Me --The last tune on the CD, UJ performs it completely solo, singing and playing along on acoustic guitar. He plays very well here, so I'm not sure why he didn't provide more of his own lead work throughout the other 11 songs on the CD. It could be possible that UJ isn't completely comfortable playing leads for blues songs yet. He is a young man, and becoming a good blues lead guitarist (acoustic or electric) can take time as it is a deceptively difficult task to master. This song is in a singer-songwriter vein, which suits UJ's voice and abilities very well; he just seems extremely comfortable in this style.
The Verdict:
Joseph "UJ" Miller has a nice little release on his hands with "Down Home Remedy". The album has an enjoyable, warm feel to it, and it sounds as if the musicians had a fun time making this disc. Most of the songs are of a down home, back porch variety, with a couple decidedly non-back porch tunes (more singer-songwriter, Americana, Pop in style) thrown in to shake things up a little bit. UJ does an admirable job on the vocals, and the presence of Melissa Neels on lead guitar for several songs was a wise decision as she sounds great in this setting. All-in-all, this CD is a commendable effort from UJ and friends. Let's rate this bad boy: STLBluesometer rating of 3.50 for UJ Miller's Down Home Remedy. One thing East Side Slim can tell you is that he took some of that remedy and he’s feeling tter already. ~ CD Review by East Side Slim/

Marty D. Spikener's On Call Band - Help! I Need Some Good Blues

Bitrate:320K/s
Year:2017
Time:39:18 
Size:91,1 MB 
Label:Self-Released 
Styles:Blues/St.Louis Blues

Tracks Listing:
 1. Ain't That Loving You - 4:03
 2. Born In Chicago - 3:34
 3. Feels Like Rain - 4:40

 5. Guns Of St. Louis - 5:39

 9. Walkin' With Grover (Mister Magic) - 4:35

Marty D. Spikener has been playing the blues for almost 40 years, and the St. Louis club scene is much richer with him perched behind his drum kit and growling out perfectly timed vocals. Marty D. Spikener’s On Call Band performs both originals and cover tunes, and their new album, help! I need some GOOD BLUES!, is a fine sampling of blues, rhythm and blues, and just a little touch of jazz. The On Call Band includes Spikener, as well as Chuck Loeb on harmonica and vocals and Doc Evans on bass, while Ryan Waked and Solomon Haynes share the guitar work. Paul Niehaus IV cut this disc at the Blue Lotus Studio (also in St. Louis), and it sounds like it may have been recorded live. I say this because there is a cool dynamic and a noticeable energy between the artists as they run through this 40-minute set, which works out well for the music they chose for the set list.Two-thirds of the songs on this disc are covers, and the On Call Band starts things off with a neat re-do of Don Robey’s “Ain’t That Loving You,” which was originally released by Bobby Bland in 1962. This is a straight-up electric blues tune that allows the throaty and soulful vocals to shine. Waked and Haynes each deliver clean guitar solos, and Loeb goes for a dirtier sound with his harp. Next up is the Paul Butterfield Blues Band’s “Born in Chicago,” which is faithful to the original, but here it is played at a slower tempo, giving it a Latin feel. The other covers are a diverse collection of American tunes, including a soulful take on John Hiatt’s “Feels Like Rain,” and the Louis Armstrong-inspired vocals on James Harman’s hilarious “Tall Skinny Woman.” But the standout is “Lord Help Me to Hold Out,” which was originally recorded in 1969 by Harrison Johnson and the Los Angeles Community Choir. This acoustic gospel song has a wonderful interplay between the harmonica and the inspirational vocals, while the backline of Evans and Spikener hold everything together. The three tunes that Marty wrote are solid, the first of which is the funky “Good Blues,” and this song offers up the opinion that the blues does not have to be a stone-cold bummer. Guest artist Bobby Schneck (Santana and Slash) provides the stunning guitar solo while the tone of Waked and Haynes’ rhythm guitars set the mood perfectly. Then there is the sobering “Guns of St. Louis,” a soulful plea for peace and sanity in the Gateway City. And the last of the originals is the light-hearted “Pill for That,” which is chock-full of slick drum fills courtesy of Mr. Spikener. Wrapping up this disc is “Walkin’ with Grover,” a tribute to Grover Washington’s 1975 soul/jazz chart-topper, “Mister Magic.” There are no horns to be found on this instrumental, but the guitars and Loeb’s harmonica fill in nicely. The band pushes the tempo more than the original, and Evans’ walking bass line transforms this song into more of a blues tune, though there is still an obvious jazz influence. Each player gets a chance to shine on this track, making this the perfect outro for the set. It is really cool that Marty D. Spikener’s On Call Band documented their sound so that listeners outside of the Show Me State can hear their music. help! I need some GOOD BLUES! Is a solid package, and it would be neat to here more from these fellows, so hopefully they will be heading back to the studio soon(Originally published in Blues Blast magazine on April 12, 2017 by Rex Bartholomew).
