I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release,
Colors by
Sugar Blue and the title reflects it's musical diversity. Opening with the familiar rhythms of Bo Diddley on
And The Devil Too, Sugar Blue covers lead vocal but more importantly, plays some pretty frantically cool harmonica. Backed by Rico McFarland on guitar, Brady Williams, Llaria Lantieri on bass and Damiano Della Torre on keys a cool opener.
We Will Be Alright is a smooth sensitive ballad with a strong melody. Backed by Della Torre on keys and the angelic vocals of Afrika Riz... very nice. A funky remix of The Beatles,
Day Tripper, has a great beat, presents some of Sugar's best vocals on the release and gives Sugar a cool track to jam on harmonica over. Solid. Acoustic blues shuffle,
Good Old Days, gets your foot stomping along with McFarland on guitar and Washboard Chaz on Washboard. Dragging out some excellent blues guitar riffs, McFarland really hits it as Sugar crafts a suggestive tale,
Dirty Old Man, and lays out some real nice blues harp riffs. A sure crowd pleaser. Wrapping the release is radio track,
Keep On with a smooth, memorable melody and ultra smooth vocal and harmonica over the keyboard work of Della Torre. Solid closer.
