Murali Coryell is the son of Texas-born jazz guitar legend Larry Coryell, but at heart, he's an old-school rock & roller. Playing Fender Stratocaster or Telecaster electric guitars, the younger Coryell likes to play lean and mean; though his voice is good, it's not particularly distinctive, but a work in progress. He also has a soft spot in his heart for authentic blues, boogie, and the occasional reflective soul song. Father Larry shows up on several of these selections, as does Joe Louis Walker, and in tandem with drummer/co-songwriter Tom Hambridge, keyboardist Reese Wynans, and bassist Steve Mackey, Murali thoroughly enjoys tearing it up on this set of all originals. One song in particular is emotionally riveting: "Mother's Day" is an acoustic guitar feature with both Coryells, and is dedicated to Julie Coryell, who passed away in 2009 on this intended celebratory, but instead, memorial day. Otherwise, the pronounced boogie school of rock is heard during "Blame It on Me" with a small horn section, and in the John Lee Hooker style for the title track. More in the electric blues vein, "I Still Do" with Walker has that classic Chicago feeling, while "Minor Funk" has Walker singing with Murali and has hot potential. Most of the music is more funky than 12-bar, with "What You Gonna Do About Me?" done in contemporary Robert Cray fashion, while "I Could've Had You" combines acoustic and Stratocaster in a thoughtful mood, and "Closer to You Baby" is played in a pop vein à la the Doobie Brothers. The retro "Still Rockin'" is straight out of Chuck Berry's bag, bringing it all back home. With his background, Murali Coryell can't help but be diverse and try different things, while staying true to his roots and his dad's get-down attitude.© Michael G. Nastos /TiVo

El Fish was a legendary Belgian blues band. They consisted of Steven De Bruyn (bluesharp), Jan Ieven (bass), Rohal De Ridder (drums), Filip Casteels (guitars, vocals) and Toon Derisson (drums). The group disbanded after the 2001 album Waterbottle featuring legendary blues guitarist Roland van Campenhout. They have played a reunion concert in the AB in Brussels on the first of October 2011.
This Belgian band was founded by Steven De Bruyn and this album is their debut. It lays the foundation for what would later become a unique sound, characteristic of the band. The combination of solid blues and Belgian influences makes this album a must-have for any lover of the genre. Later, Roland Van Campenhout would join the band, with his great sound that took the music to an even higher level. But this debut album remains an essential piece of Belgian blues history, that you should not miss if you love the genre!
This CD is an absolute gem. Steve is one of those rare players that can do the job of a rhythm guitar on either chromatic or diatonic, never stomping over lyrics, always in the right place, harmonizing, choosing chords and quietly doing the job of a sideman. When it's his turn to step up, he always nails it *just* how you want it to happen. To compliment Steve's harp playing is some of the most sensitive and "appropriate" guitar playing I have heard in a European blues act by Filip Casteels. Needless to say, the rhythm section also knows it's job. Toon Derison on drums is one of those minimalist, laid back drummers that most of us long to have in our band but can never find (because people like El Fish get them first!)."

In 1996, Matthew Robinson & The Texas Blues Band were created. After only two years of working the circuit, they have logged in achievements the type of which only veterans can match. Achievements such as making waves throughtout the world by playing in front of 20,000 people in Sao Paulo, Brazil and, more locally, winning Best Blues Group and Matthew Best R&B/Blues Singer by the Austin Jazz & Arts Fest, to name but two. There are not many "entertainers" left in the industry today. Matthew certainly qualifies as that rare combination of musician/entertainer. He describes his music as the result of the natural evolution of gospel, R&B, blues and the Texas sound he grew up around.

"Blues with funk on the side. Down and clean more than down and dirty"... several tunes have a "big band" sound with horns and even a choir at one point, but are also seasoned Texas-Style with touches of nasty harmonica and resonator slide guitar.
Edwin S. Holt is a musician and businessman from Tyler, Texas. He was born in Dallas in 1967, but was raised in New London until he started college at the University of Mississippi, and would later transfer to receive a degree in Fine Arts from Texas Christian University. He is most known for his Blues hits, including chart-topping songs from his album, "Second Time Around," as both a performer and songwriter, as well as building an accomplished digital marketing firm, located in Tyler, Texas.
Edwin Holt grew up in New London, Texas. His father was a dentist in the nearby town of Kilgore and his mother was a former Kilgore College Rangerette. Edwin was raised by three African American women which would all play a role in his teachings of black culture, food, and music. “Honey” Louise Bagley would have the most influence as her daughter married a bass player who was part of the Big Bo Thomas blues band in Dallas, Texas. Louise introduced Edwin to the urban streets of Dallas making him a part of the South Dallas music scene. Graduating from West Rusk High School in 1985, Holt spent a brief period attending University of Mississippi before transferring to the Texas Christian University. It was in Mississippi that Holt found his calling to the blues after attending the Mississippi Delta Blues Festival in Greenville, MS at the age of 18.
Edwin's music has been heard on the Sirius-XM Blues Channel, where he’s had two hits as a performer and songwriter. His song, Down to the Bone, went #1, as well as, Somebody’s Gettin’ It, went #3 on Sirius-XM Radio's "Picks to Click" chart. Both songs are featured on the album, Second Time Around. Edwin has headlined shows from the juke joints of South Dallas to the Broadbeach Blues Festival in Australia, and he has opened for such legends as Al Green, Bobby Blue Bland, Grammy Award winner Keb’ Mo’, and the blues monarch himself, B.B. King. He inevitably became a mainstay at venues such as R.L. Griffin's Blues Palace II. After earning the respect of his peers through years of gigs, Holt was eventually asked to take over Johnnie Taylors’ backing band after his death in 2000. He scored a high note when his 2005 album "Second Time Around" took the No. 1 spot on SiriusXM's Bluesville radio channel. Eventually, Holt stepped away from touring to spend more time with family and focus more on his design firm in Tyler. Recently and on tour for two years, Holt leads a new group, The Red Clay Roadhouse, blending blues, bluegrass, roots, and Americana performing local joints around the South. These days, he spends his time in an all male gospel chorus singing in People’s Missionary Baptist Church alongside his youngest son who plays guitar.
After a successful career with a large Dallas advertising agency and the birth of his second child in 1996, Holt decided to start his own fledgling design firm out of his home. Over the past couple of decades his company, Holt Creative Group, has executed brand development work and creative for some of the most prominent companies and nonprofits in the U.S.: ExxonMobil, American Airlines, American Heart Association, EDS, Southern Methodist University, the Dallas Cowboys, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and many others.

Matthew Robinson was first introduced to roots music as a young man at St. John College Heights. At the same time, he started singing in the St. James Baptist Church Choir in East Austin. He learned to play the blues from W.C. Clark, James Polk, Martin Banks and Clarence Pierce and was influenced by the recordings of Howlin' Wolf, Magic Sam and Otis Rush. In 1964, he started his first band, The Mustangs, with some of his high school friends and neighbors - Charles Shaw, Charles Martin, Oswell Mercer, Malone Allen, Larry Townsend, Sam Persley, Sara Scott and Aaron Cash. The band was very popular in Austin. The band played the campus circuit, much like Cookie & the Cupcakes and Archie Bell. After winning the battle of the bands in Austin, beating out Baby Cakes with Don Lupo, they recorded a 45 on a record label based in Dallas called Stangs records, "How Do You Quit" and "Tender Loving Care." Sara wrote the words and Matt came up with the arrangements for the recording. With this 45, the Mustangs were able to tour the United States. The Mustangs opened up shows for James Brown, Jimmy Reed, Big Mama Thornton, Johnny Winter and Herman's Hermits. They played Austin clique clubs like the Jade Room, New Orleans Club, Armadillo World Headquarters, Swingers a GoGo, Vulcan Gas Company and Club Sorenson. In 1971, he went back to Austin to focus on playing guitar. One of his biggest influences was Storm, a band that Jimmie Vaughan was playing with in Austin. In 1976, Matthew joined James Polk and the Brothers. Other players in the band were John Reed, Angela Strehli, Martin Banks and Gerald Blocker. In 1996, Matthew formed his own band, Matthew Robinson and the Texas Blues Band. Matthew has worked in Europe with WIllie Foster, Blues Boy Hubbard, Phillip Walker and his own band. He has also worked in Brazil several times with his friend Nuno Mindelis.

EAST BLUES EXPERIENCE was founded in 1990 by guitarist and singer Peter Schmidt in Berlin. The following year, drummer Ronny Dehn joined the band, and bassist Jäcki Reznicek completed the line-up in 1994, with the trio setting off sharply from then on. The news of the quality of this new band spread rapidly, so that EAST BLUES EXPERIENCE not only increasingly successful toured in Germany, but already in 1994 at the then largest Scandinavian Blues Festival (Djurs Bluesland) occurred in Denmark.The trio appeared like an overseas cultural import anyway and was therefore hired by American and British blues musicians, such as Carey Bell, Big Golden Wheeler or Johny Mars, as a backing band for their Germany appearances.
An enthusiastic audience and increasing critical acclaim caused EAST BLUES EXPERIENCE and other top-class musicians to expand into the ten-member EAST BLUES & SOUL EXPERIENCE BIG BAND. DEUTSCHLANDRADIO recorded a concert in Stralsund in October 2001 in order to present it to a large audience. The sound of this extraordinary big band was recorded on some songs of the album "East Blues Experience" released in 2000, which was already the third album of EAST BLUES EXPERIENCE, but when the band's studio production caught the attention of experts for the first time.
It should remain for the time being the only release of the trios Schmidt, Reznicek, Dehn, because in the year 2002 their ways parted after eight years together.
The band released the album "Red Ballon" in 2003 as the starting point for a new round of EAST BLUES EXPERIENCE. There were now four of them on the road and next to Peter Schmidt and Ronny Dehn Rainer Engelmann (bass) and Axel Merseburger (guitar) were on stage.
Although EAST BLUES EXPERIENCE played land-based with continued success, in 2005 the point was reached where each of the four musicians wanted to pursue new musical goals. The band said goodbye to their fans.
But for a long time none of the four withstood the EAST BLUES EXPERIENCE abstinence, and so in 2007, with great enthusiasm, the album "V10" was recorded and booked for the first time in the history of the band a time-limited tour with 36 concerts.
In the following years, EAST BLUES EXPERIENCE played few single concerts. And it was exactly in this time that one of the biggest experiences of the band so far was: the performance at the "Nakusp Musicfest" in Canada in 2009. Then it was a little quieter for EAST BLUES EXPERIENCE. Peter Schmidt, Ronny Dehn and Rainer Engelmann made musical trips to other bands or were on solo paths on the way. Ronny has been playing together again with Jäcki Reznicek in Germany's very successful band SILLY since 2006, and so it happened that EAST BLUES EXPERIENCE took a break from 2010 to 2014. Since the summer of 2014 it was clear that EAST BLUES EXPERIENCE will go on tour again - with family growth. In the meantime, a young musician grew up at the side of the band, who now belongs firmly to it. EAST BLUES EXPERIENCE - these are now Peter Schmidt, Jäcki Reznicek, Ronny Dehn and Adrian Dehn. In this cast also the EP "The Day" was added. For the first time, the band presented a mix of German and English songs.In 2015, EAST BLUES EXPERIENCE was finally back live...

The Howard Brothers Band began as a labor of love for Bassist, Aaron Howard and Guitarist/Vocalist Steven Howard in 2006. In 2007 they added their uncle Tim Blankenship on drums. While they set out to form a band that would have a solid foundation in the timeless genre of Blues influenced Rock, It has evolved into a Rock N Roll juggernaut worthy of the arena days. With extensive touring and high profile shows like the legendary Robin Trower, Pat Travers Band, Living Colour and countless others, the brothers have earned their reputation as a live force to be reckoned with. In 2022 the brothers added Ken Bailey to the line up on drums after their uncle Tim Blankenship retired following sixteen years of relentless dedication. This reinvigorated brotherhood has a magnetic pull, surrounding you in a positive vibe. With influences like Black Stone Cherry, Gov’t Mule, Badlands and the Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies, woven into their original sound and tangled in a heap of groove, you are guaranteed a good time as you “Catch the Party Train” with the Howard Brothers Band!

Texas blues guitarist who appears here with an album of original material, bar the cover of Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Freedom’. A traditional blues rock trio with Jay Hooks handling vocals and guitars, with Maria Del Prete on bass and drummer Jerry Gaskill. Plenty of guitar on ‘Final Stand’, whilst ‘Once Around The Moon’ sees Hook’s vocal entering the land of Motorhead’s Lemmy! Fancy some slide-based boogie? ‘Cold Natured Thang’ provides it nicely. The blues ballad ‘Strong Love’ is okay but sounds like many others in this genre. Nice touch of acoustic blues on ‘Wicked Wayward Son’, some nimble blues pickin’ on here!
Good, solid blues rock album - nothing fancy, just stripped back tunes featuring plenty of guitar and a very tight rhythm section. If Walter Trout and early ZZ Top is your thing grab a copy of this album.

The power trio known as the Hep Cat Boo Daddies was formed from the ashes of a wildly popular South Florida psychobilly band, the Underbellys. With frontman Joel Dasilva's mix of both Chicago and Texas style blues guitar, as well as his wide variety of influences combined with Evil's hard driving bass lines and Randy Blitz's hard hitting backbeats (and old school New York punk rock attitude), this band quickly gained a reputation as one of the best local rock bands around. They are known for their raw edged and unique style and have won many awards. They combine both original and cover tunes and incorporate a wide variety of styles including blues, rock, surf, funk, and rock-a-billy for a great combination of high energy rock that electrifies their fans, who affectionately refer to them simply as "The Boo Dads." The unique hybrid style of the band is appealing to a wide variety of music lovers who are ready for something besides straight blues or rock. The Boo Dads have performed at such events as the NHL 2003 All Star Game ,Toys in the Sun Run, several tattoo expos, The Ft. Lauderdale Blues Festival, City Link Music Fest, Franipalooza, Sun Fest and clubs throughout Florida. 
Not only have they won many awards and the respect of the local music community, they have also had the honor of opening for many great national acts. Some of those acts include: Jimmie Vaughan, ZZ Top, Ted Nugent, The Fabulous T-Birds, Steve Winwood, The North Mississippi Allstars, Leon Russell, The Smithereens, Edgar Winter, The Reverend Horton Heat, The Robby Krieger Band, Derek Trucks Band and Etta James. Their debut CD titled "Long Time Comin'" was released in October 2002. They topped off 2002 by opening for BB King on December 27th in Pompano Beach and also New Year's Eve in St. Petersburg.

11. Feel Like Breaking - 4:00

A major part of the Music Maker family for nearly thirty years, Albert White plays guitar with casual intensity, bouncing seamlessly between lead and rhythm. Listen to him solo on the swampy “River’s Invitation,” the centerpiece of his new album, The Definitive Albert White: He plays against the song’s rhythm as though he’s swimming against a mighty undertow, then dismantles the song’s melody with disarming eloquence. It’s the mark of a virtuoso who’s been refining and redefining his own personal style—the thrust of the blues mixed with r&b’s boundless energy—for more than seven decades. He developed this sound first with his uncle, the legendary Piano Red, then worked it out on the college circuit in the ‘60s and ‘70s before performing alongside Ray Charles, Ben E. King, Joe Tex, and countless others. White is an intuitive sideman, but this lively collection showcases one of his best assets: a deep, expressive voice that’s conversational yet soulful, blues-burdened yet agile. When he sings Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together,” he conveys both the bone-deep excitement of a man looking forward to future full of love and happiness.

Roots rock that combines delta blues, New Orleans funk and Memphis Soul. Delta Roux features the creative talents of slide guitarist Harry Bodine and vocalist Mike Milligan. These two Austin musicians have combined the roots sound of Delta Blues, Memphis Soul and New Orleans funk. Well, they’re from Austin, but you would think they were from New Orleans with all the soul they have. Steel and slide guitar by Harry Bodine meld perfectly with Mike Milligan’s bluesy vocals, and what results is a mature sound that says they’ve been around the block a few times. The lyrics, too, emit pangs of a musician’s jadedness on certain tracks like, “Can’t Live Without It.” (“Another night/Another club/ Another line across my face”). The concepts are simple but sincere, the playing not fancy but tight.

Fat Danny Bennett - vocals, lead guitar, slide guitar
High Desert Bluesman, Fat Danny Bennett, is the heart and soul of the Hard Tymz. He writes and sings all of the original material. Danny's songs come directly from his life. The good, the bad, the ups and the downs. Danny says, "Sing the Blues? Hell, I'm living the Blues." A multi-talented instrumentalist, Danny counts Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Link Wray, and all the "Kings" among his influences.
Mike Burnes - drums and percussion
The quiet man of the group, Mike Burnes, lets his sticks do the talking as he lays down a take-no-prisoners drum beat. Influences include Mitch Mitchell, Ginger Baker, and his former teacher, Tootie Heath. Mike brings an uptown jazzy feel to the down-home blues of The Hard Tymz.
Doyle Smith - Hammond organ & Wurlitzer electric piano
Born about 20 miles from where Robert Johnson played his last gig, Doyle hails from Leflore County Mississippi. He honed his blues chops playing on the Barbeque joints and Elks Clubs on the chitlin' circuit throughout the Deep South. Influences include Billy Preston, Marvell Thomas, Carson Whitsett, and Booker T.
Eric Brown - harp
Eric Brown is the Hard Tymz's harpmeister. Eric was schooled in the Blues in the musically fertile Greenwich Village. Such giants as Paul Butterfield, Charlie Musselwhite, Big and Little Walter as well as Sonny Terry and Sonny Boy Williamson have heavily influenced our “Boy from New York City” for the past 35 years. Eric has played in a number of bands ranging from blues to classic rock to folk music. His amplified "Mississippi saxophone" adds a down and dirty sound to the Hard Tymz.
Rick Horn – electric bass
Rick Horn was recommended to the Hard Tymz by the legendary Blues bassist, “Papa Dog.” Rick is influenced by impeccable bass players like Duck Dunn and Jamerson. It's all about the groove and pocket. No slappin' or pluckin' here. To paraphrase the Gallo Brothers, Rick will play no note before its time. We call Rick “the man with the biggest bottom in Blues" and we aren’t just talkin’ booty here.
Listen and enjoy!

The title says it all. It's definitely a four star CD led Fat Danny Bennett. He and the band take you on an unparalleled blues adventure. It's blues as it ought to be with every song telling a story. Bennett's musical prowess reminds one of Jimmy Reed. He does it all write, sing and play various instruments. This is Bennett's blues and no one else's. "Another Day" track two is blues in its truest sense. It tells a story of a man falling apart. Even with the creature comforts (money in the bank) one can still feel unfulfilled. Doyle "Dr." Smith's keyboards pull you in. He's true to the old-fashioned, down in the swamp blues sound of the masters. Song has that rocking, loping Reed-like gait. It is a song about a man depressed. "Happiness is just a memory." Anyone who's been depressed can relate. You know those days when they all blend together and nothing makes any stand out. We've all had them. Some get over it quickly while others are led to the "nut house." The rich organ sound of Smith shows his deep Mississippi roots. His chitlin' circuit playing has really paid off. "$7 boogie" is funny while telling about a man with only seven dollars in his pocket. "Seven dollars ain't going to feed us very long," is the lament of his wife. But he's "a blues man" and nothing will change that. Always was and always will be. It's a song of conviction. Bennett takes you on a vivid trip with his lyrics and great licks. Just when things seem to be lost he gets a gig and now he's a "fifty-seven dollar man." This song teases yet there's a real message in it. With only seven dollars "even my dog is getting worried."
The title track dispels the myth one has to live in the South; or be black to understand the blues. Bennett lets all in on a secret: blues is a feeling that life creates. "It don't matter where you come from or who you are. When the blues gets a hold of you, you can't go very far." Blues is about what happens to you. And it will come no matter your station in life. Though born in California his roots are deep south and it shows in this song. Arkansas was the homeland of his parents and going to California they took their "country ways with them." Powerful song.
"Pissin' in the Wind" is the story of a man without a job and of course no friends. It's a 2001 version of "God Bless the Child That's Got His Own." He takes you on a long walk where you remember the lessons our parents tried to teach. "Ain't got no job. Can't find no friends," is always the case. Bennett strokes you on this one. You feel the pain and know it's true. It's a funny yet powerful and instructive song.
This is a dynamic, electric collection. It is destined to be a future blues classic. One will look back on this like and Elmore James or Jimmy Reed collection and say wow he really understood the blues. With Fat Danny Bennett on vocals, guitar and harp you get a throwback to the days Jimmy Reed. The music is his in all ways since he writes the lyrics and music to make his songs work. When you add to the mix Smith's keyboards; Big Mike Rincon's bass and Mike Burnes smooth yet intense drums you get a blues mix worthy of hours of listening. If their power comes through on this CD imagine them live. Though I originally said I'd give this CD a four star rating I now revise that assessment. It's really too, too good to rate. Listen and be overwhelmed by "The Power of the Blues."

A DJ friend of mine turned me on to this cd by Forced Call and I was amazed when I gave it a listen....half rock, half blues and a great mix of both. This band is really entertaining and the music on this new cd shows how much heart and soul went into the production. Very good, guys!  Forced Call's music touches your soul, in fact it does more than touch, it ENLIVENS your soul(https://www.amazon.com)!

Blues Fever combines the music of Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Jr. Wells, Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield to the jazz swing influences of Louis Jordan and T-Bone Walker. REVIEWS Eric Steiner of Midwest Beat I'd like to also recommend a few local, Chicagoland - Northwest Indiana CDs that repay repeat listenings. First of all, Blues Fever is led by Hollywood Johnny Cosgrove, with Dennis Stukenberg channeling Little Walter on harp, and the engine room of Mike Bailey on bass and Dan Wile on drums. Their Made in Chicago is a solid, independent effort. Buddy Monaco of Sopro Music Yeah Baby !!!! Great stuff !! This is a really cool CD. I really like that you have 6 original songs on it. You and Denny and the rhythm section captured a 'real true blues' feel to all of the material. Recording is all nice and clean and not 'over produced' giving it that 'old time style' and it all works real well. BAND MEMBERS Hollywood Johnny Cosgrove (guitar) Johnny is a 30 year veteran of the music scene. He has recorded and toured with Blind Pig recording artist, Studebaker John and the Hawks and Delmark recording artist, Byther Smith. Johnny can also be heard on Sam Kinison's HBO special soundtrack, 'Funny Man", with Jody Noa and the Sho Nuff Blues Band. He has also played with Mike Gibb and the Homewreckers, John Primer, Jr. Wells, and numerous others. Dennis Stukenberg (harp) Dennis has been around music his entire life. The son of professional musicians, Denny began playing jazz drums at age 13 and was working professionally soon after. His love of Blues led him to take up the guitar and harmonica. Self-taught on all of his instruments, Denny has been influenced by artists from Son House, Little Walter and Muddy Waters to Buddy Guy and Jimi Hendrix. Currently Denny teaches drums, guitar, and harmonica at World Folk Music Company, 1808 W. 103 Street in Beverly (Chicago, IL). Dan Wile (drums) Dan has been playing the drums for over 31 years. He is a versatile musician who has played many forms of music including blues, rock, jazz, metal, reggae, pop and classical. Dan's drumming took him to the Arctic Circle in Thule, Greenland in 1992. He currently resides in Joliet, Illinois. Mike Bailey (bass) After years of hibernation Mike returned to the music scene in 1995. He has performed with the Karl Foxx Band, Johnny Moore and the Unknown Blues Band, as well as performing and recording with Chicago's Own Guilty (Extenuating Circumstances and Live on WZRD), Billy King (Mean Woman Blues), and the Chicago Blues Posse with Deb Seitz (Road Time).[https://www.amazon.in/Made-Chicago-Blues-Fever/dp/B000LE17VQ]

The time has arrived for Hillbilly Vegas to cross the pond and bring their combination of Southern Rock and Outlaw Country to a wider audience. To ensure that the timing of the album release is perfect, the band is also playing their debut UK live show at the Troubadour in London.
Building on the 2022 EP release of Greeting From Hillbilly Vegas, the six-piece band is looking for this album to put them on stages in the UK and Europe. So, how’s it sound?
Filled with silky yet filthy guitars and vocals that you just wish you had, Hillbilly Vegas are brim with a style that sets them apart in an ever-crowded genre, allowing them to be noticed and get those festival slots that they are hoping for.
 From start to finish The Great Southern Hustle is a solid introduction to the band from Oklahoma. I have no doubts that there will be a number of tracks that will be played on radio stations and the momentum will begin to build.
The album is one that you can happily listen to back to front on repeat and you are excited to share with friends. It is one of the few albums that you can switch off and just enjoy, which we all need to do sometimes. With more albums like this the world would be a less anxious and stressed place to be. So my advice is to get the album, invite friends around, pour a glass of whatever your drink is, and have a good time with good music, which this def/
