I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, The Real You, by Greg Nagy, and it's super with healthy doses of soul, R&B, blues, and rock. Opening with title track, The Real You, lead singer, guitarist, song writer, Greg Nagy on lead vocal shows a real feel for R&B. With Josh Ford on guitar, Dale Grisa on organ, John Baron on bass, Todd Glass on drums, Lynne Calloway on backing vocals, Jim Alfredson on organ, Keith Kaminski on sax, this is a solid opener. CeeLo Green's Crazy is a cool addition giving Nagy a open field to show his soulful vocals and bluesy guitar chops, complimented by Dale Grisa on organ and Richard Curran on strings. Very nice. Thornetta Davis steps up in duet with Nagy on George Harrison's remarkable, Something. I have always loved Davis' voice and with Josh Ford laying down some real nice guitar lead, this is an excellent blues rock addition. R&B track, Baby, What Took Your Love Away From Me has a cool, Robery Cray feel with confident vocals by Nagy and potent organ work giving the track real radio appeal. Blues based, Where Do We opens with a crude delta like sound but erupting into a modern blues rocker with hot lead guitar riffs by Bobby Murray and power vocals by Nagy. Wrapping the release is Brandy Carlisle's strong ballad, The Joke, handled by Nagy on lead vocal with potent lead guitar accentuating his Elvis Costello like vocal effort. I like this track and think it's a strong closer for a real nice release.
