I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Deguello Records artist: Jeff Pitchell - Brown Eyed Blues - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Brown Eyed Blues, from Jeff Pitchell and it's a lot of fun. Opening with thumping rocker, Now You Know, Jeff Pitchell on lead guitar and vocal sets a finite reference. With grinding guitar tone and solid bass line from John O'Boyle and Ephraim Lowell on drums, this is a powerful opener. Boogie, Wait, is driven by an aggressive bass line by Mike Nunno and Mike Levesque on drums. Pitchell really gets the track rocking with strong vocal lead and great guitar riffs, backed by Colin Tilton on sax, Dan Fontanella on piano, and John Robinson, Theresa Wright and Linda Ransom on backing vocals. Pop rocker, When We Kiss, has a light finky beat and features Duane Betts on guitar, adding the twin lead guitar closely associated with the famous Allman Brothers band. Jay Vernali on piano and organ, Tommy MacDonald on bass and Tom Hambridge on drums make this the radio choice for the release. Latin flavored, Stay While The Night Is Young, features some of Pitchell's best vocals and Santana like Mesa Boogie overdrive. With Nunno on bass, Mike Levesque on drums, Nick Longo on drums, Ivan Santiago on percussion, Kevin Berry on percussion, Bruce Feiner on keys and Vic Steffens on percussion, this is a cool track. Cool shuffle, When It All Comes Down. is one of my favorite tracks on the release, with Pitchell playing call and response with his vocal and guitar. With solid bass and drum backing this track just hits nicely in the slot. Wrapping the release is another Latin flavored track, Welcome To The Beat with Pictell on lead vocal, guitar and bass and Bill Holoman on  drums, keys sax and trumpet, backed by Jim and Gloria Pitchell on vocal. Solid closer.
