I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Stories In Blue, from Vaneese Thomas, and it's an interesting blend of blues. R&B and country. Opening with Do Y'all a R&B track with a solid vocal melody by Thomas, Ross Pederson on drums, Paul Adamy on bass, and with potent key work by Dave Keyes and solid lead guitar work by Al Orlo. Wandering is a warm ballad with some of Thomas' best vocal work on the release. Andy Drelles on sax plays a really nice solo and Tim Quimette on trumpet and Walter Barrett on trombone add the brass. Bluesy, The Last Thing On My Mind, has a cool, shuffle feel with easy slide work by Orlo and a steady drum rhythm by Pederson. Very nice. Wrapping the release is End of The Road with gospel styling. This is an excellent closer with Thomas joined by Emily Bendiger, Berneta Miles, Jason L. Terry and Darryl Tookes on lush interweaving vocals.
