I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Out Here In The Blue, by Lara and the Bluz Dawgz and it's smooth. Opening with Easy Come, Easy Go, vocalist Lara Germony has the lead backed by Gregg Germony on bass, Al Rowe on guitar, Carlos Ruiz on drums, Reggie Murray on sax and B3 and Dan Nadasdi on keys. Soulful title track, Out Here In The Blue gives Murray a chance to really show his chops with smooth Sanborn like tones. Germony vocals on this track are particularly strong Rowe gets a chance to stretch a bit as well making it one of my favorites on the release. Catch Me If You Can has a pop. Steeley Dan guitar rhythm but a soulful sax line by Murray giving it a real nice feel. High stepping, Smoke Break, has a great bluesy bottom with strong lead from Murray, Rowe and Nadasdi. Boogie, Custom Made, sports a cool walking bass line, a bright piano solo by Nadasdi and a fat sax solo by Murray. R&B track, Moonlight is a nice showcase for Germony on lead vocal and a slick solo by Rowe. Very nice. Wrapping the release is Wrong Question with it's driving R&B rhythm and Jr Walker like feel. Eric Walker sets out a deep bari line with Chuck Lyons on trombone, Stuart Naylor on trumpet and with Murray on sax solo and nice phrasing by Rowe on guitar this is a solid closer.
