Blowin' Smoke Rhythm & Blues Revue/Words Of Praise
From The Media
"By the time we got to Harvelle's, the room was already
packed with people...The Boss (band leader Larry "Fuzzy"
Knight") began their evening's musical journey through their own
world of electronic rhythm and blues, funk, rock, and Southern soul. The
dance floor was soon flooded; at one point the club had reached it's
legal maximum capacity. No one could move - but, listening to Knight and
his red-hot ensemble, no one could help but move". Highlights
of the evening included the band performing "C.O.D." from their
album, a cover of Buddy Guy's "Midnight Train", and their
wonderful singers (the Smokettes) covering such R&B chestnuts as
"Rock Steady", "I'll Take You There", Bonnie Raitt's
"Something To Talk About" and Labelle's "Lady
Marmalade".All in all, a performance that lives up to the
hype".
"The Blowin' Smoke Rhythm & Blues Band with the
Fabulous Smokettes packed Harvelle's with a crowd that was there to enjoy
great music played the way it should be. Larry "Fuzzy" Knight
has the kind of voice that is perfect for the blues, a little gritty but
with excellent range. Guitarist Dave 'Raven' Rutchinski demonstrated his
skill on a Stevie Ray Vaughan song, "Crossfire", wringing a ton
of emotion out of his guitar. "C.O.D." with John 'JT' Thomas on
organ, showcased the instruments along with Fuzzy's powerful vocals. This
is music played and sung the way it was meant to be and "Fuzzy"
Knight knows how to get the best out of his musicians and singers".
