 Soulard
Blues Band – In The Soulyard
{1995 | King Solomon Records}
The
Soulard Blues Band has been around for over
twenty-five years and produced nine recordings,
Soulyard is their fifth. Soulyard only has nine
tracks yet is a good combination of swing blues
with hints of jazz on a couple of songs. The
vocals dominate the songs, there is just enough
horn without overpowering or being too horny.
Not a bad CD, the guitar is great, would’ve
liked more…
Songs:
1. You Upset Me Baby (B.B. King) – good
vocal and blues guitar
2. Feel So Bad – I liked the harmonica/sax
solo near the end of the song
3. Harlem Nocturne – this is a mellow jazzy
instrumental piece featuring their horn player
Brian Casserly who also performs vocals on the
other songs
4. Mondo Elvis – not sure what a Mondo
Elvis is but I liked this song a lot
5. Stumble – an awesome instrumental version
Freddie Kings song with great guitar and harmonica
playing, this and Mondo Elvis are my two favorite
songs
6. Bad Whiskey – good song, I liked the
singing and harmonica, this would be in my top
three
7. St. Louis Blues (W.C. Handy) – nice
bluesy swing feel, the muted raspy trumpet was
right on
8. Murder Man – another jazzy instrumental
piece with flavors of sax, blues guitar and
harmonica
9. Mr. Donut Blues – crisp, blues guitar
late in the song
