Well it's been a while. Last night July 2nd I saw James Cotton, Mojo Buford and Hubert Sumlin in Oakland at Yoshis. BTW Yoshi's is a top notch venvue, great sound, good seating arrangements, clean venue and great food. If you add the ages of Cotton, Mojo and Sumlin you get about 243 years now that's some life experiences and great music creation.
Aces shows:
July 9, private party, Napa
July 22, The Tradewinds, Cotati
Aug 19, Negris, Occidental
Come out and say hi.

Deep Blues - The Music of THE ACES
Really, I shouldn't dig these guys as much as I do. But I can't help myself. Everybody knows I got issues with harmonica players. They rarely know when to shut the hell up and let the song breath. The Aces harp man/singer Sky O'Bannion (I actually googled to see if he copped his name from a celluloid cowboy/super hero. Nope) gets my gripe and gives his fellow Aces plenty of room to breath and roll and that is seriously refreshing. Not enough bands understand that what you don't play is just as important as what you do. The Aces get it..... READ MORE

CD Revew - Dutch to English Translation
View Dutch CD Review
NOTE: Some of the finer points are lost in Google's translation.
Last week I received four CDs from the label El Toro Records. A Spanish label that specializes in music from the 50 and 60 years, including music by taking a large dose of rockabilly.
Unfortunately, few truly original work, but mostly contemporary artists like replicas that tried that period and genre as identical as possible to imitate. The first 3 CD's - which I am not going to mention names - include for me personally very clichéd material. Quentin Tarantino is such an ace dated renewed work to enrich his films, but his niche is reserved for me. Undoubtedly there is a market for people who very much fun with this medium, only because I belong very definitely not.
Exception in this mission was the CD of the Californian band The Aces. Although their cover was also my first shudder, these guys have a damn good sense of how a piece of raw blues to play. Thud dominate a dark sound, with a heart-wrenching harmonica player is primarily in the center is able to push. The voice of that guy, Sky O'Banion, goes towards Jim Morrison, but refrain from making these ego-tripping band remains very consistent. Exceptional is the lack of a bassist. Drums determine the rhythm and the sound of this apparent slight tire for me a huge gain. This is simply enjoy. Clearly a band that has confirmed to the wrong label. (That this is possible) "No One Rides for Free" consists of 10 great blues driven music that is almost standard in your car should be. What a pulsating force is out of this fine piece belly blues. Although recorded live with the microphones 40 and 50 years, but because of the unique approach that is traditionally grafted very contemporary music. Straight Line recommended that manifests itself outside the paths of the contemporary idiom. They even suspect that they have deliberately chosen this vague label, as long as they can not stand them continue doing their thing. Their music is so compelling that I can not imagine that these guys are seriously lost. Music for a party uncoordinated.
