THAT'S RIGHT was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album.
Seventeen albums into a career that dates back to 1967, Rhode Island's most famous musical export makes its Alligator Records debut with 14 songs that show this longstanding outfit has far from worn out its welcome. THAT'S RIGHT! finds the band fronted by new singer/harpist Mark DuFresne, who immediately dives right into the title cut, a slam-bang reading of a Chris Powell-penned R&B nugget, pumped up by the band's collective shouted harmonies and swinging sax solos of Mark Earley and Rich Lataille. From here it's off to the races with a set of music that'll whet the appetite of swing fans looking to cut a serious rug. Among the many delights, a bouncy romp through Big Joe Turner's "Lipstick, Powder and Paint" defies any urges to bop in place, while T-Bone Walker's "I Know Your Wig Is Gone" is delivered as a sly strut, and a version of Smiley Lewis's "Shame, Shame, Shame" wails in all the right places. Equally impressive is the instrumental take on Arthur Prysock's "2 Point 8" that really allows the band to rock and roll as they confidently chug along.

| | Anson Funderburgh Which Way Is Texas? CD (2003)
That's Right CD music
$14.65 On his second outing on Bullseye, bluesman Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets deliver a solid album. "Can We Get Together" offers a spunky lead track with Sam Myers on vocals and the Texas Horns adding an extra bit of pizzazz. Funderburgh offers one of his rare vocals on "One Women I Need," a nice ballad with Gentleman John Street's piano and organ providing an atmospheric backdrop. The instrumental "Going My Way?" gives Funderburgh, Street, drummer Wes Starr, and bassist Johnny Bradley a chance to kick out the jams, while the band pays its dues to ...
| | Ronnie Earl Now My Soul CD (2004) (Import) Canada
That's Right music CDs
$15.19 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 case it was a natural shift -- maybe even an obvious one given that he has often cited John Coltrane as a predominant influence. On Now My Soul, his second release from Stony Plain Records, Earl moves a bit back to neutral ground on the vocal issue, with roughly half the tracks featuring singing from either Kim Wilson or Greg Piccolo, and one track, the delightful "Walkin on the Sea," showcases ...

| | Ronnie Earl Duke Meets The Earl CD (2005)
That's Right album
$14.15 The Duke Meets the Earl seems like an obvious album, pairing two of New England's finest contemporary blues guitarists, Duke Robillard and Ronnie Earl, who both share the same sort of hard, clear tone in their playing (Earl actually replaced Robillard in Roomful of Blues when the latter left the group for a solo career). For Earl, who has been working in a kind of jazz blues hybrid style in recent years, it marks a return to straight blues, and with guests like Jimmy McGriff and Mighty Sam McClain aboard on select tracks, The Duke Meets the Earl has the feel of a super session. Throughout, Earl's guitar is featured in the left channel and Robillard's in the right, leading to some wonderful guitar dialogues, particularly on an epic, nearly 16-minute-long ...

That's Right album
$13.85 On his fourth outing for Blind Pig Records, Bill Perry takes his own brand of modern electric blues and turbocharges it. Perry's songwriting has been developing consistently from the 1990s during his tenure with Virgin's Point Blank label. And while it's true most blues fans only care about that fiery guitar playing of his, the real depth of his writing was revealed on the Blind Pig releases Crazy Kind of Life and Raw Deal. Here, combining tight, ...
