Fevered anticipation surrounded the recording of roots music phenomenon Nick Curran's third album and debut for Blind Pig Records. Attaching himself to such a pinnacle of mainstream blues as Blind Pig seemed at first a mixed blessing. While it affords the ex-rockabilly twanger greater visibility on a reputable blues label, it nonetheless raised the fear that he may have been attempting some type of ill-advised commercial crossover. One listen to Doctor Velvet, though, and such fears melt away into pure joy. Perhaps "purist" joy would be more apt, as Curran continues on his time-traveling blues odyssey. Having already proven himself as the most worthy heir to the Texas blues throne -- or at least Guitar Slim reincarnate -- Doctor Velvet finds the guitarist/vocalist channeling the spirits of Albert King, Freddy King and Otis Rush in one long, funky burst of late-'50s and early-'60s go-go blues ectoplasm. From the inspired reworking of garage rock icons the Sonics' "Shot Down" to the Louis Prima-meets-Fats Domino vocals on "Don't Be Angry," Curran has deftly expanded his vision. Throw in a cameo appearance by Jimmie Vaughan on two tracks and Doctor Velvet packs some serious blues mojo. The "State of Texas" sunglasses Curran sports on the CD cover are merely an exclamation point. ~ Matt CollarLiving Blues (6/03, p.66) - "...Armed with a gruff voice and bright-sounding hollow-bodied Gibson, Curran sounds more authentic than any of the other dozen-or-so jump blues revivalists currently on the scene. He's a true enthusiast..."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/03, p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...A fresh, young and accomplished retro band from Austin, Texas..."

4 stars Blues Alive
This cd states that it was recorded live, which may seem a strange thing to say, but straight from the opening track it is evident that this band would be great to see live. There seems to have little messing around in the studio and the live feel is captured. This is blues with a rockabilly/swing sound. Jimmie Vaughan guests on two tracks, but Nick Currans' guitar playing is right on the money that you would be hard pressed to notice. It's a blues sound that really gives you a lift - a good time cd that raises a smile. If you can't get out to see this band this makes for a great night in.

VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD  (2002)

Doctor Velvet
CD $6.39  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
The Corrs: Jim Corr (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Sharon Corr (vocals, violin); Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Caroline Corr (vocals, drums, bodhran, percussion).
Recorded at Ardmore Studios in Dublin, Ireland in January 2002.
You knew the Corrs had made it when they played the final JFK Awards ceremony of the Clinton administration. Playing it would have been achievement enough, but their status as a happening thing was cemented at the end of the ceremony, during the encores, when everybody was taking their final bows. Bill moseyed up over to Andrea, put his arm around her, and when she was looking away, sized her up -- at precisely the same moment Chuck Berry was checking her out. If that doesn't mean ...

Ronnie Earl: Ronnie Earl (guitar); Dave Limina (piano, organ); Jimmy Mouradian (bass instrument); Lorne Entress (drums).
Additional personnel: Kim Wilson (vocals, harmonica); Greg Piccolo.
Guitarist Ronnie Earl's realization that you don't need a vocalist to sing the blues freed him up to roam across the vernacular music landscape, dipping into jazz, gospel, and soul, and has made him one of the most innovative and interesting musicians working in contemporary blues. It's hardly a radical step, since scores of jazz musicians have been mining the blues for 80 years without vocalists, and in Earl's ...
