"Cadillac Rhythm" by Son Lewis (Blues Artist from New York (NY))

Releasing his newest album titled "Cadillac Rhythm," Son Lewis has added another great collection of blues to his list of works. Lewis has created a refreshing approach to the many styles of blues with his own unique style of crisp guitar licks and soulful vocals. His energy and enthusiasm is heard throughout the entire album. The instruments are very supportive, as they accompany the vocals with flavorful riffs and solid chord progressions. "Old Blues Song" has classic troublesome lyrics, giving this tune a melody sung in true blues style. Taking the blues down south, "Nanny Goat Hill" is pure country blues, featuring some skilled glass slide usage on guitar. Fans of Muddy Waters or John Hammond will want to listen to "Cadillac Rhythm," as it is steeped with enjoyable and well-produced blues songs.

RadioIndy is pleased to present The Teague Stefan Band with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Game Of Life"

RadioIndy is pleased to present The Teague Stefan Band with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Game Of Life"

The sophomore effort from Central Florida's power trio "The Teague Stefan Band" entitled "Game Of Life" combines elements of blues, rock, and funk to create a highly original, fresh sound. The album is a collection of aggressive, pounding tracks full of intoxicating heart and soul. Teague Stefan, the gifted songwriter, vocalist and guitarist for this trio, employs his talents in both musicianship and composition. The songs are well-written and performed with an enthusiasm and spirit that shines through on each track. "The Leavin' Blues" is a blistering opener, with a strong groove and blazing guitar work. The production is raw and natural, with no post-production trickery. Stefan's dominating guitar is accompanied by drums that are upfront in the mix, providing a powerful, hammering sound. "Tell You Truthful" is a driving shuffle tune with an expressive strut and swagger. "Power Of A Woman" is a soulful blues tune, showcasing Stefan's vocal range as well as his mastery of the guitar. Another highlight is "High Maintenance Woman," which features a passionate performance of emotional vocals and energetic acoustic guitar. "Dues" is a great closer, a straight-ahead rocker that is radio-ready. This is a polished group of songs that will be enjoyed by any fan of rock and blues in the vein of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, or Buddy Guy.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Lightnin Rod and The Thunderbolts with a GrIndie Award for the CD "After the Storm"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Lightnin Rod and The Thunderbolts with a GrIndie Award for the CD "After the Storm"

"After the Storm" by Lightnin Rod and The Thunderbolts is true classic blues gem. From front to back the album just screams old school blues with amazing licks, strutting bass lines and beats that swagger. The definitely features a full sound with great female backing vocals and sultry saxophone work thrown into the mix. The album also sounds great, with great care taken in amplifying a great natural guitar tone and shaping a great sound around it. The album comes out of the gates strong with "Close To You," a track that encompasses each and every element of the bands frill-less sound and concept. "Bring you back Home" opens with a wicked guitar intro, gritty vocals and great female back up vocals. The standout track on his album has to be "Narcissistic Fool", which features a slick guitar riff, a fantastic plucky bass line and great sax accents. If you are a fan of artists like JJ Cale, Eric Clapton or BB King this is a must pick up. It stands alone as a truly Professional sounding album with some very well written songs and a very talented band to boot.

"Larger Prey" by Gene Hilbert (Jazz/Blues Artist from Atlanta, Georgia (GA))

Seasoned performer Gene Hilbert's latest release, "Larger Prey," is a collection of original music fused with classic rock, jazz, and blues. A one-man show, Hilbert not only is the vocalist and guitarist but also has creatively performed every other instrument. The album's high-quality production is heard in each track, and each track is arranged with excellent distinction between instruments and vocals. Subtle bell sounds and horns complement the razor sharp guitar on "Morning 20." Harmonic guitars highlight the moving piece "March to Baghdad" as it takes on a sound of its own. Vocals are low and clean while the harmonies are perfectly layered on "Talk To Me." Hilbert has taken different musical styles and has compiled a wonderful selection of songs with powerful guitar melodies. "Larger Prey" is a guitar driven album that is well worth hearing, especially for listeners who enjoy Joe Satriani or Santana.
