I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Groove Me Baby, by Lady J Huston and it's a cool set of blues, R&B and soul. Opening with Your Call, a cool shuffle with Lady J Huston on lead vocal, complimented by Adrea Rohlehr on backing vocal, Ben Shafer on tenor sax, Darryl Bassett on lead guitar, Frank Dunbar on bass, James Gugle on drums, Jason Cooper on lead guitar, and M. Lew Winer III on bari sax. Huston plays a cool flugelhorn on Tearing Me Apart, a nice slower blues ballad, with Anna C. Allen on backing vocal. Very nice. With a light Latin rhythm on, Corona You Make Me Sick!, Huston mixes it up and adds a sweet trumpet solo. With Dunbar on bass, Winer III on tenor sax and Nichaus Iv on lead guitar, a real cool track. Pure R&B oozes on title track, Groove Me Baby. Adding synth herself, and joined by Rohlehr on backing vocals, with Ashton Channing Proctor on rhythm guitar, Shafer on flute, Bwayne Smotherson on backing vocals, Charles Smotherson Jr on drums, Bassett on lead guitar, Dunbar on bass, and Jocelyn Rugaber on electronic keys, this is the definite radio track on the release. Wrapping the release is a live version of At Last, made popular by Etta James. Huston's vocals are deep, backed by Bassett on lead guitar, Dunbar on bass, Gerald Warren on drums, and with sweet tenor work by Winer III. Solid closer.
