I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, You Ain't Unlucky, by Veronica Lewis, and it's a rocking, boogie woogie piano party. Opening with title track, You Ain't Unlucky, Lewis who is a strong vocalist and super piano player starts off the release with New Orleans flavor. Backed by Mike Walsh on drums and Don Davis on sax, this is a strong opener. Cranking up the pace a few notches, Lewis is rocking the Clarksdale Sun. With the dexterity of a barrelhouse blues player and backed by Walsh and Davis, the house is rocking. Another cool, blueser, Fool Me Twice starts out slow but ramps up for a great piano romp. Shifting time signatures and paces throughout, this is a really cool track. Katie Webster's boogie, Whoo Whee Sweet Daddy is really juiced up and Lewis really drives it with accents by Joel Edinberg on sax. You want to hear rocking piano...this is it! No piano rocker release would be complete without some reference to Jerry Lee and Lewis does a real nice one on Ode to Jerry Lee, a straight up piano rocker. Very nice. Wrapping the release is The Memphis Train a train bottomed piano boogie. With Chris Anzalone on drums and Lewis on piano and vocal, this is a cool closer for a strong release.
