Eric Lindell continues to find his groove.  Alligator Records has found a real talented artist that bridges the gap between the young jam band fans and the good old fans of New Orleans funk grooves.  Singer, Songwriter and Guitarist  Eric Lindell’s latest offering Gulf Coast Highway (Alligator Records) is just hitting the stores nationwide.  The new CD builds and grows throughout each track concluding with a fantastic New Orleans funky instrumental called “Raw Doggin’” featuring Chris Dejohn on drums and Marc Adams on the B3.   Other favorite tracks on Eric’s latest include: “It’s A Drag” featuring Sean Carey on harmonica.  “The Look” captures the old R&B days of NOLA that reminded me of the late Tommy Ridgley.   The Waylon Jennings/Willie Nelson penned “I Can Get Off On You” has some great rolling piano licks provided by Marc Adams and solid New Orleans shuffling drum rolls by Chris Dejohn.  This song is about not needing drugs or alcohol to get high, just his woman’s love.  “Country Livin’” is another favorite, featuring New Orleans drummer Stanton Moore and a great solo on the baritone sax by Jimmy Carpenter.

“I’ll be Around” rounds out my favorite Lindell compostions on the new CD.  When you listen to this track just close your eyes and your there, where else - New Orleans.  Some other great covers also help make this new Eric Lindell CD really shine.  Eric does a great job with a funky version of the Buck Owens country classic “Cryin’ Time” and a real nice version of Delbert McClinton’s “Here Come the Blues Again.”  Here comes another great CD by Eric Lindell.  Eric’s third on Alligator Records isn’t my favorite yet but I’m guessing after one more listen and it will be.

What if you could find a singer that can sound like B.B. King, Howlin’ Wolf and Bobby “Blue” Bland? Delta Groove Music has found one and it looks like they are going to keep him around for awhile.  Bobby Jones has been singing the blues since he hit the Chicago Blues scene in 1959.  Fresh out of the Army Bobby hit the Windy City in search of fame, fortune and fun like so many other Louisiana farm boys who were attracted to the new electric sound.  Bobby Jones found success right away as he replaced Junior Wells in the legendary band The Aces, featuring the founders/guitarists Dave and Louis Myers.  Well the story starts out good but like so many Chicago Blues Musician fame doesn’t come to all.

Fortunately for us and for Bobby he was rediscovered in February 2007 and began recording as part of The Mannish Boys.  While recording his 2nd CD with The Mannish Boys, Jones laid down a solid 11 tracks of his own featuring the same musicians that were working on one of 2008’s best releases, The Mannish Boys “Lowdown Feelin.”  The new solo release by singer Bobby Jones is entitled “Comin’ Back Hard”(Delta Groove Music).  Just like the Mannish Boys release of 2008, every track is rock solid.  I could pretty much name them all but my favorite tracks are: Two Headed Woman (Willie Dixon, LP Weaver), Come In Out of The Rain (Tom Leavey), Three Handed Woman (Ben Raleigh, Hilda Taylor) and How Long Will It Last (Ike Turner).

Unfortunately the West Coast based Bobby Jones & The Mannish Boys haven’t hit the East Coast lately.  I keep hoping we see a nice summer tour from Bobby Jones and The Mannish Boys.  I hope someone is listening!!!  In the meantime we have these great releases to listen to.  Greg “Doc” Lefebre  Doc’s Juke Joint

What happens when you mix an experienced Texas crooner with a solid line-up of Europe’s best blues performers?  Answer, Memo Gonzalez & The Bluescasters new CD ‘Dynomite,’ that’s what you get.  Since the mid-nineteen-nineties, Memo Gonzalez & The Bluescasters have been laying down the blues raw and rock-in.’  The new effort (Dynomite) on CrossCut Records concentrates on new originals co-written by Memo and the German born guitarist Kai Stauss.’  This is the Bluescasters 2nd disc on CrossCut Records.  In 2006 they released ‘Live In The UK.’

Some Cd’s stand above others because of their production or their originality.  This CD scores big in both departments.  Guistarist, Strauss lays it down whether he’s doing Duane Eddy or Elmore James.  Memo fills in all the gaps with his great Texas vocals and some nice harp playing.  My favorite tracks include: “Bad Luck,” “One Day, One Kiss,” “Strange Kind of Feeling,” “Mary Lynn, ” “What’s In A Name” and a nice cover of one of my all-time favorites “Double-Eyed Whammy” (Freddie King/Thomas Rizby).  Go on out and find Memo, you won’t be disappointed.   Greg “Doc” Lefebre  - Doc’s Juke Joint
