If Mojo Nixon had a brother and he had a new blues release, it might be Big Joe Shelton. The similarities to Mojo stop at the singing voice. Big Joe is no novelty act, he is a straight forward southern juke joint rocker. Vocalist/Harp player Big Joe Shelton’s new release “Black Prairie Blues” (Alt 45 Records) is a journey down to the northeast part of Mississippi known by the same name. Big Joe was raised surrounded by the blues. Early influences include a fortunate relationship with blues legend Big Joe Williams. In the mid seventies Shelton moved to Chicago and experienced the electric blues scene first hand. While in Chicago Big Joe was able to see the likes of Muddy Water, Howlin’ Wolf and Buddy Guy.

Big Joe really rocks the harp or as he likes to call it – his “Mississippi Saxophone.” Guitarist Willie King makes a guest appearance on the title track (“Black Prairie Blues”) which is a great tribute to Bukka White and the many other blues musicians of this region. Other favorites include “Ribs and Cat Whisky,” “Chitlin’ Lovin’ Man,” “One’s Too Many” and “Cat Fish Alley.” If you like your blues to rock-a-little or just have fun, take a trip down to Mississippi with Big Joe Shelton.

I have to admit, I didn’t know who Gary Allegretto was when his cd landed on my doorstep. What I do know is that I will now never forget his name. “Many Shades of Blue” (Big Fiore Records) is the title of the new disc by vocalist/harp player Gary Allegretto. 14 solid tracks of pure electric and acoustic blues, is how I would describe Gary’s new cd. Allegretto wrote 12 of the 14 tracks and chose to cover two of the greatest songwriters ever (Chuck Berry “Back To Memphis” & Hank Williams “Mind Your Own Business”). Gary was inspired by the Piedmont Bluesman John Jackson at a very young age. One of the many guests on this new release is John Cephas (a contemporary and close friend of John Jackson). Other guests on “Many Shades of Blue” include Ivan Neville, Doug Macleod, Rich Delgrosso and vocalist Janiva Magness.

Gary is one of the great sideman on todays blues scene. He is also the founder and director of Harmonikids which is a 501(c)3 non profit charitable organization that provides music therapy with harmonicas and lessons to special needs children internationally. Allegretto has provided aid to special needs children from the Tsunami refugee camps of North Sumatra, Indonesia to the Katrina evacuee trailer villages of Louisiana and many points in between. Harmonikids has recieved widespread acclaim in the media including The Today Show, Blues Revue, and Living Blues Magazines. For more information about his unique charitable work visit www.harmonikids.org and see You Tube video.

Sometimes the sideman needs to step into the spotlight to really shine. This one shines all the way through. I hope Mr. Allegretto finds Rochester, NY on his GPS soon.

On a side note, you can catch the legendary harp player John Cephas with his partner Phil Wiggins (Cephas And Wiggins) at the Chenango Blues Festival, August 15 & 16th in Norwich, NY.     Greg “Doc” Lefebre
