Sugar Ray & The Bluetones My Life, My Friends, My Music (CD)

(Severn) 15 tracks (60:34)

Outstanding new release with a greasy rhythm'n'blues sound! To record his latest album concept Sugar Ray, one of the very best blues vocalists on mother earth, has invited some of the finest players from east coat. Foremost, here are the Bluetones. Over the course of the last thirty years this band has performed a couple of thousand gigs. Then there are guitar players from two generations. Not to forget the finest horn section you may ever get to hear, made of Roomful Of Blues alumni. With this album Sugar Ray's going back in times presenting his own 1940s/'50s style compositions and covers of tunes by Louis Prima and Sonny Boy Williamson. His new album contains a well-balanced mix of urban r&b from the past and deep blues featuring Sugar Ray, the harmonica player. It's simply breathtaking to hear an album of such quality, a performance that's just: perfect. Exceptional. SUGAR RAY NORCIA - voc/hca, ANTHONY GERACI - pno, MICHAEL 'MUDCAT' WARD - bass, NEIL GOUVIN - drums, featuring: DUKE ROBILLARD - gtr, 'MONSTER' MIKE WELCH - gtr, GREG PICCOLO - ten, DOUG JAMES - baritone, CARL QUERFURTH - tromb, BOB ENOS - tpt.
