Blue Lotus Recordings artist: Boo Boo Davis - Boo Boo Boogaloo - New Release Review

 

I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Boo Boo Boogaloo, from Boo Boo Davis and it's a cool mix of blues and boogie. Opening with Chicago blues, Little House By Myself, Boo Boo Davis on harmonica and vocal leads the way with LA Jones on guitar, Adrianna Marie on bass, Chris Millar on drums. Davis really does a nice job and complimented by a solid solo by Jones, this is a great opener. Blues On My Mind is one of my favorites on the release with soulful vocals by Davis. Marie has a dominant bass line keeping the pace and Davis' harmonica solo works really nicely with Jones' own guitar phrasing. Very nice. Title track, Boo Boo Boogaloo is a terrific authentic JLH style boogie. Kick back and enjoy. Slow blues, I Got The Crying Blues is another of my favorites with soulful vocals by Davis and really nice guitar phrasing by Jones. Wrapping the release is Latin flavored, Jungle Bump with a cool bass line by Marie, Cool percussion by Millar, Paul Niehaus Iv on keys and excellent riffs by Jones. Excellent closer.

Blue Lotus Recordings artist: Ms Zeno the Mojo Queen - Back In Love - New Release Review

I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Back In Love, by Ms Zeno the Mojo Queen and it's powerful! Opening with a super, romping, R&B track, Back In Love, Zeno not only shows her powerful voice but her excellent sense of rhythm and phrasing. Backed by Roland Johnson on vocal, Mark Hochberg on viola, Abbie Steiling on violin, Andy Hainz on cello, Dustin Shrum on trumpet, Kevin O'Conner on drums and guitar and Paul Neihaus on bass, keys and horns, this is a super opener. In My Shoes is a terrific soul track which draws comparison to Gladys Knight and Aretha. That is serious treading territory and I think that Zeno deserves the comparison. Excellent! Slowing things down on Willie Brown, with more of a soulful blues feel, Zeno has an earthy delta feel, with harp work by Brandon Santini and guitar by Little G Weevil. Very nice. Mojo Queen has a cool new Orleans funky feel and Zeno really gets in the slot, pumped up by Tom Martin on accordion and super backing vocals. On high stepper, Call My Name, Zeno trades vocals with Gene Jackson, with high energy drum line and Santini on harp. Another feature soul track with strong feel is Mistress, with a solid bass line and rich lead vocal lines by Zeno. Wrapping the release is gospel flavored Father Time with just a light touch of twangy guitar giving it a slight country feel. This is a really cool track to close a strong release.
