MORSELS IV - A Seven Pack of Tiny Little
Tidbits Worth Sinking Your Teeth Into!

Corey
Stevens – Albertville
2007 – Ruf Records
Corey (a Centralia, Illinois native) plays musical
tribute to Albert King with 10 songs Albert
wrote/covered. Great guitar playing, vocally
it lacked the intensity these songs deserved
though it did kind of remind me of Robert Cray
barring Little Brother which I thought I was
listening to Jimmie Vaughan. I Get Evil was
outstanding. Albertville is a really good CD
(Stevens sixth) and worthy of repeated listening
too. |

Mike
Zito – Superman
In 2006 Zito released Superman, the fourth CD
from native St. Louisan. Superman features Zito’s
rock influenced blues guitar, soulful vocals.
Give it a spin, it’s no wonder Mike consistently
plays over 250 shows a year. The title track
is great! |

Demian
Band – Bull Blues
2005 release from the Demian Band
This three-man band from Spain is outstanding.
14-tracks, 12 originals, a SRV cover and Jimi
cover with some songs in English and some in
Spanish. Boys and girls, listen to Cornbread
– this is good, rockin’-blues with
a level of in your face intensity. The CD was
dynamite… www.demianband.com/index.php
- tell em’ Cornbread sent you.

Tinsley
Ellis – Moment Of Truth
2007 – Alligator
This is the 11th career release from the fifty
year old guitarist/vocalist/songwriter from
Atlanta. 12-songs, some country blues straight
from the Delta, the rest southern rockin’
blues. The songs are all good. This CD is among
the best in my collection – this get’s
a strong buy, play, repeat often!! |

David
Gogo – Skeleton Key
2006 – Cordova Bay Entertainment Group
Thirteen songs for electric blues aficionados
with an R&B feel and groove, with Stevie
Wonder and Depeche Mode covers. Skeleton Key
is Gogo, the Nanaimo, British Columbia born
bluesmans’ fifth CD and blends blues,
soul and rock. |

Mem
Shannon Live – A night at Tiptina
2007 – Northern Blues Music
Mem’s first live album and some of his
best funky blues songs from his last five albums,
recorded February 9, 2007 at Tiptina’s
in New Orleans. The band is tight, the guitar
playing is smokin’. |

Charles
Burton Blues Band – I Wouldn’t Lie
To You
2006 - Burton is a jazz/blues guitarist and
singer from Southern California. This is his
second CD, "I Wouldn't Lie To You,"
has all original songs. They reflect his love
of blues music, and electric blues guitar in
particular. I enjoyed this CD, particularly
Cuba. www.charlesburton.com |
Ciao' for now, peace.
