Endless Blues Records artist: Sunny Bleau & The Moons - Passion & Regrets - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Passion & Regrets, by Sunny Bleau & The Moons, and it's a smooth mix of rock, blues and pop. Opening with Two Glasses of Whiskey On Ice, with it's bluesy, Latin overtone features Sunny Bleau on vocal and slick guitar work by Nicholas A. Cocco on guitar, Bill Ruffino on bass, James Cunningham on drums  and Rick Steff on keys. Easy shuffle, Low-Down-Middle-Aged- Blues, coasts on piano by Steff and snare swat by Cunningham giving Sunny plenty of room to belt it out. Full swing shuffle, S-H-E-W-O-M-A-N, had a rumbling bass line by Ruffino and features Jeff Jensen trading riffs with Cocco on signature guitar  and Kiersi Joli ripping on harmonica in support of Sunny on vocal. Very cool. Ballad, You Put Me Out, is my choice for radio track with it's memorable melody and straightforward vocal attack. With Steff on Wurlitzer and Sunny on vocal, this track is strong. Wrapping the release is Memphis Bound, a soulful ballad featuring Sunny on lead vocal and Jensen on baritone guitar. Breaking into a revival style rhythm, Sunny works with Joli to close this out big.

Quarto Valley Records artist: Sean Chambers - Live From Daryl's House Club - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Live From Daryl's House Club, from Sean Chambers and it's a potent blues rocker. Opening with driving rocker, Cobra, Sean Chambers, notorious guitar slinger is joined by Pat DeSalvo on bass and Garnet Grimm on drums, both of Savoy Brown fame. With grinding guitar rhythm and a driving bottom, Chambers really gets things amped up. His guitar riffs are searing and relentless. Solid opener. Blues rocker, Red Hot Mama has a real nice feel with great vocals by Chambers who plays some real nice slide on this one. Louise is a smoking blues and Chambers really lets the dog off the leash on this one. His vocals are raw and his guitar tone is round and cutting. Very nice. Paying tribute to Kim Simmonds, they tee up a Savoy Brown favorite, Street Corner Talking with it's intimidating swagger. Maintaining Simmonds original arrangement but with his own take on guitar soloing, this 7 plus minute track is terrific. Chambers' vocals are very reminiscent of SB's Dave Walker on this track. Trouble & Whiskey is another strong blues track in the Otis Rush vein. With a firm, call and response between his vocals and lead guitar work, and aggressive solo phrasing, this may be my favorite track on the release.  Guitar Slim's You're Gonna Miss Me, is a super track with Chambers whipping out the slide and ripping Slim's riffs along with lead vocal. Super track. Wrapping the release is Billy Gibbons' Brown Sugar from ZZT's first album. Giving it a more modern take, Chambers knows how to rock it. With solid bass/drum bottom by DeSalvo and Grimm this track is a great closer giving Chambers one more chance to do a great driving rocker. I really like this release. Great concert.
