Jack De Keyzer Plays on Harmonica Shah CD: Live at the Cove

Once again, Detroit Bluesman Harmonica Shah has enlisted the help of local guitar master Jack de Keyzer. This time, the two talent musicians join forces on the CD, Live at the Cove.

You can definitely hear why Shah has teamed up with Jack quite a few times. He does an amazing job playing the axe for the CD's raw, down and dirty blues sound. There's a lot of boogie, funk, and some old-fashioned soul. The band handles it all with panache.

The duo are backed by Canadians Alec Fraser (bass) and Al Cross (drums)

The disc is available in stores and as an iTunes download.

Below is a video from the show.

New Famous Framus Band CD: On Mortal Love

This ain't your daddy's Blues!

With On Mortal Love, the latest CD from the Famous Framus Band, the group unleashes and unique, edgy, powerful album.

It's a work of loud, rough, punk-like spirit that still manages to retain a traditional country/delta blues sound. Despite the rawness of it, the duo, which includes Famous Framus (vocals, guitar, banjo) and Dave Gould (drums, vocals) show off their great musical skills

It's not just fast numbers either. They also throw in some beautiful slower arrangements (Strange Dream, Girl With a Heart of Stone, Don't Throw Me Away) with a lot of emotion.

The disc is available at their dynamic live shows.

Below are a few live performances of songs from the disc







We'll be posting more from this show later.
