Bluestime will make you smile,
This review is from: Bluestime (Audio CD)
Who would have thought that a great party band as J Geils had such hard core blues musicians. Yet, they don't take themselves too seriously. The joviality associated with the old group still comes through in these Chicago blues styled numbers.
This album is simply a must for any blues fan. Buy it to encourage more quality work from this great collection of musicians.

HIGH TIME,

This review is from: Bluestime (Audio CD)
MAGIC DICK & JAY GEILS-BLUESTIME: As a singer, MAGIC DICK is mostly an unparalleled harp player; then again, THE J. GEILS BAND boasted one of the most exhileratin' soul spewin' frontmen in all of rock & roll, PETER WOLF. Distancing themselves from their former group's party-hearty vibe, BLUESTIME plies the classic CHICAGO BLUES sound, reviving CHESS RECORDS chestnuts from BO DIDDLEY, LITTLE WALTER, and MUDDY WATERS with less volume but more reverence and attention to detail; the lone original here is FULL COURT PRESS, a fiesty instrumental cousin to the JGB barn-burner WHAMMER JAMMER. JAY GEILS is simply one of our most tasteful, non-flashy axemen, coloring without crowding, while MAGIC DICK's swingin' harmonica chops mostly compensate for his journeyman vocals. For a quick lesson in jazzy sophistication and jump blues felicity, one could do far worse than scheduling some BLUESTIME.
RATING: THREE JUKE JOINTS |
