Mick Kolassa has been a blues fan most of his life – all kinds of blues. His previous albums have all contained a few subgenres of blues, but in this album, his 15th blues, he wanted to include as many as he could – the result is the aptly named ALL KINDS OF BLUES. The album opens with Thank You Memphis, which reflects not only that special Memphis Sound, but Mick’s appreciation for the place he has called home for the past few years. WHERE LOVE TAKES ME is a blues song in the tradition of Mississippi Electric Blues style, Dexter Allen’s guitar work on this track is special! DID YOU EVER WONDER is a New Orleans Style rhumba co-written by Mick and Doug MacLeod, who joins Mick on vocals. The Blues Rocker TOO OLD TO DIE YOUNG is Mick coming to terms with his latest birthday! HAPPY ENDINGS is one of Mick’s slow, minor key blues songs, but done in a jazz style, again with Dexter Allen on guitar. To be sure he covered as many styles as possible, Mick penned his first song about AI love, AMY IODINE. The band decided that this song is the first of a new subgenre: Post-Contemporary Acid Blues. Hang on, it’s different! YOU BUMPED ME AGAIN is a very funky song about repeated rejection, while DOES YOUR MAMA KNOW is a blues love song almost Rockabilly. EATING MY SOUL is a dark and brooding slow minor key blues. CAN’T SING NO BLUES TONIGHT is an acoustic blues tune, drawing heavily from old Delta Blues, that tells the story of a very sad experience for a fictional musician. THAT DON’T MEAN is a Chicago Blues style protest song and BAD DECISION, co-written by Mick and Eric Hughes is a country blues tune about a lonely man in a bar – with an interesting idea. The album closes with A YANKEE HEADING HOME, an Americana song explaining Mick’s decision to move back to Michigan after living in and around Memphis for over three decades.This album, produced by Jeff Jensen, is Mick’s 15th blues album. It displays and celebrates Mick’s love of the world of blues – in all its styles and all of its glory (https://endlessblues.com/mick-kolassa-all-kinds-of-blues/) !
