Editorial Reviews

The Homemade Jamz Blues Band rocked the Blues world by coming in second in the 2007 International Blues Challenge in Memphis - competing against 100 other bands. Their debut recording last year, Pay Me No Mind, scanned over 8,500 units and led to the Homemade Jamz receiving a Blues Music Award nomination for Best New Artist Debut. Along the way, they appeared on the Today Show, were featured on NPR's "All Things Considered", and profiled on the CBS Sunday Morning News. Their 2009 CD, I Got Blues For You, showcases some incredible songwriting, Ryan's fantastic lead guitar, Kyle's booming bass lines, and Taya's hard-hitting drums.

4.0 out of 5 stars Near Perfect, but for one thing...., July 10, 2009

This second release from HJB proves they have what it takes to compete in the world of blues: fantastic, heartfelt singing and songs; excellent, blazing instrumentation (including dad's harp playing). What keeps this from being THE perfect recording is the mix: the drums are way too far to the front and sometimes cover the vocals, guitar and bass playing. This cd is definitely worth the money despite this minor annoyance; probably the second best blues recording I've heard this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Momentum Goes On, August 1, 2009

This review is from: I Got Blues for You (Audio CD)

Fans hungry for more from this amazing North Mississippi trio will find a feast in this sensational new album from Northern Blues Music.

The Perry siblings, Ryan, sixteen, lead guitar and vocals; Kyle, fourteen, bass; and Taya, ten, drums, burst upon the blues music scene in 2007, placing second in the band category in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis against a field of a hundred and the rest is legend. Not only were they the youngest blues band to sign with a major recording company, their smash debut album for Northern Blues Music, Pay Me No Mind, rocked Billboard Charts for seven weeks and garnered the band a nomination for the coveted Blues Music Award for Best New Artist Debut, 2008.

Their momentum continues. Homemade Jamz has been featured on the TV programs "Today Show," (NBC), "All Things Considered" (NPR) and "Sunday Morning News" (CBS) and is in demand for festivals and other events everywhere.

And their music keeps getting better. I've Got Blues For You features twelve tracks, eleven of which are original numbers penned by their father Renaud Perry, who not only creates the unique handmade guitars Ryan and Kyle play but joins in with some rich harmonica work on several songs, including the rocking "Hobo Man" and the smoking title track "I Got Blues for You."

Ryan's wailing guitar work and throaty vocals backed by Kyle and Taya's strong percussion keep the beat jumping on the Titus Turner cover "Grits Ain't Groceries," and from the up-tempo "Hard Headed Woman" to the sweet love ballad "Heaven Lost an Angel" to the traditional low down blues grooves of "In the Wind," this album is a winner.

An immediate sensation from day one, Homemade Jamz proves once again they are no flash in the pan. I've Got Blues for You is a powerful follow up to the band's knock out debut album. Their music is only getting better. Two thumbs up for I Got Blues for You!

This album really is on the cutting edge of back to the future. What I mean is that it gives you the deep roots from the pass as well as the blues of today which make this album Extraordinary. This is good for parties, juke joints, home listening, driving around and etc. It just has a good sound and great feel to it...
