Diving Into Deep Blues
Wall Street Journal
“I was just reading them off a paper in the studio — after listening to them about a thousand times. I don’t really know how well I can do without that wonderful band backing me up but I can’t afford to hire them all the time. The striking vocals on “A Stranger Here” suggest that getting a handle on these blues won’t really be a problem. Mazor based in Nashville writes about country and pop music for the Journal.
MUSIC PREVIEW: Umphrey’s McGee hits Lupos House of Blues
The Patriot Ledger
Bayliss who lived in Wellesley in the mid-’80s when his father worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said the band always welcomes a return to Boston one of the first East Coast markets to support it after it broke out of South Bend Ind. (where it was originally based) in the late 1990s. No sooner has “Mantis” arrived that the band is getting antsy for more new music. “It’s only been two months since we put out ‘Mantis’ so there’s a part of us that is trying to enjoy this a while before we start talking about the next one” Bayliss said. “But it’s kind of hard to do that – you have to keep producing. If anything you also get bored yourself. We’re a band that’s easily bored.

MUSIC REVIEW: Smoking blues from Coco Montoya
The Patriot Ledger
MILLERFor The Patriot LedgerPosted Apr 06 2009 @ 02:30 PM It might have been a sense of relief after a weekend of travel nightmares but guitarist Coco Montoya and his band delivered one of the year’s most incendiary concerts Saturday night at the Narrows Center. The two-hour-plus show culminated in an impromptu jam encore with Plymouth harmonica ace Tall Richard joining Montoya for a run through the old blues shuffle “Baby Won’t You Please Come Home. ”Montoya and his band had been snowed in for a couple days in Denver. Their flight eventually landed late Saturday afternoon forcing the band to borrow some equipment in order to begin on time. That wasn’t the end of it. After the Tall King Revue a stripped down duo version of Tall Richard’s Vineyard Voodoo Kings foursome finished its 35-minute opening set Montoya and his band were three songs into their set when one of the stage monitors malfunctioned creating a 10-minute delay.

New York Times
Scofield’s old-time gospel album recorded in New rleans with a band drawn mainly from that city’s robust R&B scene. It’s a basic concept and it makes all kinds of sense. The same could be said of Mr. Scofield’s staunchly exuberant show at.

Local band Blues Sanctuary – a quintet of musical weekend warriors with day jobs by their own description – recently packed their instruments to spend a few days at the International Blues Competition playing against professional performers some of whom play many gigs a week. The band’s lineup is Greg Bird guitar and vocals; Rick Burgess vocals and harp; Joe Candal keyboards; Bruce Mariani bass and vocals; and Ken Pallman drums. “There were 112 bands playing in 12 venues and clubs up and down Beale Street” the epicenter of blues music said band member Rick Burgess. Each club hosted eight to 10 bands for two nights with different judges each night boiling down dozens of competitors to find the 10 bands who would make the finals on the third night. “It was a real competition. Most of the groups who play down there do it for a living – two had just come back from a tour of Europe” Burgess said. While Blues Sanctuary didn’t win their venue they came in fourth there.

Historian reminds students of the importance of music
ASU Herald
Eckley also had the goal of reminding people of how much better the music was back then. “I was able to trace back every musician and link all the different types of sounds together; that was great” Eckley said. “Hearing the different musicians blending together made me realize how lost we are in this new era that we call music. Referring to blues as being a layer of lament Jim Baird of the University of North Texas said the blues is the solid foundation that our music world rests upon. “Delta blues has acted as an incubator for all music” Baird said. This discussion and all other Delta Blues Symposium events were sponsored by the ASU Department of English and Philosophy. Page 1 of 1Article ToolsShare:.

Album review: Neil Young’s ‘Fork in the Road’
Los Angeles Times
The outcome is more noteworthy for Young's stinging guitar work passionate vocals and his powerhouse band's accompaniment than for finely crafted songs that add considerably to Young's estimable body of work. To some extent the lyrics simply establish a framework for the musical excursions which are mostly Young's signature brand of grinding rock. Along the way the music picks up bits of funk and blues boogie. The most poignant number is "Light a Candle" for which Young briefly unplugs to sing sweetly about the possibility of inner transformation. n the majestic minor-key "Just Singing a Song" Young concedes that "just singing a song won't change the world" echoing a remark he made several years ago that substantive social and political change will have to come from someplace other than rock music — contrary to what he and many of his '60s brethren once thought. But he adds an inspirational P.
