I just received a copy of the new Cameo Blues recording, 10,000 Hours. The band, made up of Ray Harrison on piano, John Bride on guitar, John Dickie on Vocal, Mike Sloski on drums and Tommy Griffiths on bass lay down some blues rock here for your listening pleasure. Dickie original track, Penguin Walk opens the recording with a driving boogie that gets you moving. 21st Century Rockit 88 is a rockin' blues giving piano man Harrison some space to do just that. A pretty cool track with underlying slide throughout. Gasoline is a smooth style with a cool guitar hook that should receive good airplay. Hold Your Love is a radio oriented ballad that could easily be the song of the cd. It's strongly written with smooth vocals and an equally smooth guitar solo. Talk Radio is a pretty interesting track with a different style of blues attack that I actually like pretty well. This track has a particularly cool guitar part on it with some nice pinch harmonics. In contrast to the first 7 original tracks, the last 4 tracks are all covers. The band does an admiral interpretation of Howlin' For My Darlin' and a nice stripped down version of Sittin' On Top Of The World. Jimmy McGriff's All About My Girl is a great jam to wrap to recording. Want something on the light side of the blues with some foamy rock... this may be it!

I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!
