“Duo What You Feel” by Natural Facts (Blues artist from Ohio (OH))

"Duo What You Feel" by Natural Facts is a jazz/blues CD with an enjoyable, mellow groove. The production and performances on the CD are extremely impressive. The compositions give a look into the feelings and actions of life today. This is a CD that nicely blends classic soul, blues, and jazz. The tracks we checked out had no percussion, which gave them a very interesting and enjoyable mellow feel. The vocals have a good tone and pitch, and the guitar and harmonica work is impressive. "Good Intentions" features an excellent guitar intro and enjoyable, mellow-toned vocalist. "Phone Up to My Face" is a track with relevant lyrics that will resonate with most of us. "On Stand By" is an upbeat number with cool guitar and bass grooves and memorable songwriting. If you enjoy jazz and blues, and are looking for a good CD with which to chill out and enjoy life, check out this CD..

“I Wonder To Myself” by Bob Long and Keith Miller (Blues Artist from United Kingdom)

"I Wonder To Myself" by Bob Long and Keith Miller is an authentic collection of old time blues tracks. This is a delightful and original rendition of old favorites. The vocals and use of guitar, harmonica, kazoo and jug give the CD that wonderfully delightful flavor of years ago when music gave the color of early America. The musicians are talented, and vocals are clear and sharp and have the feel of the era. The simple production of the mainly acoustic instruments on this CD, and mostly single-take recording is a perfect fit for the songs on this CD. Tommy Johnson's lyrics in "I Wonder To Myself" gives the common themes of the time (1929) when transportation was much slower. This song also gives hints of the racial problems of the era. The acoustic guitar, harmonica and kazoo musical accompaniment provide an outstanding musical landscape for this song. "Me and the Devil Blues" features an innovative harp sound that makes the impressive harp solo even more effective. "I Couldn't Help It" is a nice glimpse into the highlights of this CD, with a nice acoustic guitar groove, effective 2-part harmony vocals and scorching harmonica riffs. This CD is an excellent selection for the blues lover or for the collector of authentic music of American history.

"Humanized" by The Human Project II (Blues Artist from Central Valley, California(CA))

"Humanized" by The Human Project II is a collection of pumping, catchy southern rock songs. This album rocks the whole way through with driving rhythms, punchy beats and crunchy guitars. The songs are about everything from booze to cars to payin' taxes. The lyrics are creative and well delivered. The sound is raw and very "Live." Highlights are "The Creepers," a slow blues jam with haunting lyrics. This is the only track with a slower pace. "My V8 Ford" will rock you out of your rocker with driving drums and a Rockabilly vibe. "High Anxiety" takes you back to the swampland and delivers a message that will strike a chord with many listeners in regards to skippin' town. If you like good ol' rock and roll you'll enjoy this one.
