Play This, the debut album from Kitchener Blues veteran, Michael "Mudfoot" McDonald will hook you instantly with its dazzling guitar work. Once it has you, it won't let go until you're finished this amazing wild musical ride.
Michael and his friends have got the chops and this recording proves it without a doubt. They can get funky, do an incredible shuffle and rock out with the best of them. There's a "let's just get together and jam" spontaneous feel to the music that adds that extra energy. The talented Bluesman has assembled quite the team, including: Cory Turnbull, Pat Rush, John Lee (Pappy Johns Band), Mike Branton, Al Richardson, Chris Latta (Soulstack) , Randall Coryell, Jordan Patterson and more. No wonder the album sound so good!
So if you need a great musical pick-me-up, head over to one of Mike's live shows (including a rockin' bi-weekly Sunday afternoon jam at the Boathouse in Kitchener) or download it through iTunes.
In 1996, Waterloo Bluesman Jordan Patterson released an acclaimed debut album. Unfortunately, he dropped out of performing a few years later to focus on concert promotion. Now he's back with The Back on Track Recording Project, a bold musical statement that'll make listeners take notice. There's an intensity here and Jordan uses it well. Hard driving, soulful and funky, the project demands to be heard and experienced. It's not so much an album as it is a rhythmic call to arms. The music will lift your spirits and re-energize you.
