| | Summertime Blues Band I Coulda Been CD Summertime Blues Band Discography of CDs
Our first commercial release, "I Coulda Been" combines blistering guitar, soaring harmonica, and down-and-dirty blues vocals in 12 original songs. Whether you like your blues straight up or with a rock and roll edge, this album is for you. Here's what the critics have to say:"A rather amazing CD" Blues Groove"Certainly a cut above." Juke Blues"Rollicking blues and blues rock. Often, lyrical genius." Fort Wayne News-Gazette"Fresh, funky and fun...a highly enjoyable album." South Bend Tribune. "Twelve creative originals recorded with the utmost style and panache." WhatZup Entertainment Magazine.Three #1 singles on MP3.com's Electric Blues Charts"Medicated Woman" was the #17 most popular download in Amazon.com's Contemporary Blues category.Following is a rundown of the songs:Medicated Woman Writer: Bill KolterSong Style: Upbeat shuffleThis song started out to be a comment on the ever-increasing dependence on pharmaceuticals to address everything from jumpy children to bad moods. About halfway through writing the song, we switched gears and broadened the character to be an all-out, "never-saw-a-substance-I-wouldn't-abuse" addict. Her long-suffering partner telling the story turns out to be almost as pathetic in his indecisive, frustrated attempts to deal with her. The bouncy tempo and joyful solos belie the serious issue, and emphasize that the narrator is really not dealing with it. I Coulda BeenWriter: Zeek BaileySong Style: Mannish Boy with a mean streakZeek and Ted drive the CD's title song with a pounding, classic blues rhythm. The story could be the character's regrets about what he didn't do with his life....or it could be a warning about taking rides with strangers. Zeek's songs are always quirky and open to interpretation...High Maintenance WomanWriter: Bill GierasSong Style: Funky BluesTed and Zeek create a funky foundation for Big Willie's character to tell his story. The poor guy is frustruated with a woman whose uptown taste keeps him bustin' his hump to make ends meet. In the end, none of that matters because he's simply nuts about her. "Don't go changin' one damn thing, I love you just the way you are." Now there's a guy who sees the big picture. Ted stages a bass guitar clinic on this one, and his guitar leads burst forth with almost scary force. This is one of our best-received songs during live performances. I Walk Kinda FunnyWriter: Zeek BaileySong Style: Rockin' Blues. "Crosscut Saw" meets Delbert McClintonEver have one of those days where absolutely everything went wrong, from your shoes not fitting to your car breaking down? The character in this song has one of those days, but enough presence to laugh at the situation. An irresistible finger-poppin' dance tune, driven by Zeek's smooth percussion.Make These Blues Go AwayWriter: Ted CarterSong Style: Country/Jazz flavored bluesA very pretty tune, with a simple story about just wishing that special someone was there to share. Ted's guitar and Willie's harp work together beautifully to lend a lot of atmosphere to this song. This song is dedicated to Ted's wife, Jan. Slippin' Out of TownWriter: Bill KolterSong Style: Straight-ahead blues with some Memphis r&b flavor tossed in.This started out as two versions of one song, which we simply combined. The character did something he regrets, can't tell his partner, and would rather slip out of town than confront her with the truth. Pretty pathetic and cowardly. The guy's wracked with pain and has nobody to blame but himself. Had the NerveWriter: Zeek BaileySong Style: Classic driving blues.Here is one seriously ticked-off dude. The line that tells it all: "You had the nerve to tell me you never done me wrong. Certain friends of mine only visit when I'm gone." TroubleWriter: Bill KolterSong Style: Driving Blues Rock meets John FogartyTake a relentless rock rhythm and layer some swampy, spooky bayou flavors over the top, and you've got the mood set for a song about a desperate, haunted man.

Two friends, two players....too cool Blue Baby! Equidistant between the homes of W.C. Handy, father of modern blues and Jay McShann, legendary boogie pianist, lives the daring duo known as BLUE BABY. Immersed in the blues culture, BLUE BABY burns with desire to share their swing, and jazzy blues tunes with you. Debra "the Bassplayer" Hardin, is a native New Mexican.. She has been a player since her mama and daddy bought her first squeeze box, at age 6. Trained in accordion, violin, guitar, piano, electric and double bass, she has played such venues as the Whiskey on L.A.'s strip, Hollywood Palladium Theatre, Filthy McNasty's, along with countless piano bars, and toured regionally on the West Coast with Stillwater. The Bassplayer is a breast cancer survivor, note the pink ribbon and special dedication of the title track, "Angels With No Faces." As harsh as the journey through hell was, many gifts also came with that journey, one of which was the title track song. A percent of sales revenue will be donated to BCANS, our on-line web worldwide breast cancer support group...to reach the thousands of women struggling to learn how to live, and sadly for some, how to die with this diagnosis. Dan Reed, lead guitarist, was raised in Shreveport, Louisiana. The call of the Austin Texas music scene was too loud and strong for this music-man to ignore. While residing in both Austin and Dallas, where he honed his considerable talent, he performed with an infamous circle of players such as The Bearcats, Musick and the Jungle Heirs. Dan currently works as lead guitarist with the Kansas City Street Band, who just released their second CD, "Meanwhile Back at the Ranch." A consummate sound man also, Dan worked as audio engineer for numerous artists, including the fabulous Ronnie Lane. Note: Many of Ronnie's instruments, given to Dan and Debra by Ronnie's wife Susan after Plonk's demise from the complications of multiple sclerosis, can be heard throughout the disc. Wherever in this universe Ronnie is hanging ...
