$11.39
Like most guitar players with a developing taste for Blues-Rock guitar, Sean grew up listening to the likes of Johnny Winter, the three Kings (BB, Freddie, & Albert), Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Billy Gibbons to name a few. Chambers was particularly smitten with the legendary sounds of Jimi Hendrix, and later, Stevie Ray Vaughan. In fact, it was these two players that inspired the young Chambers to delve into their unique styles in depth, which had a noticeable influence on his tone and touch. Sean doesn't merely play the guitar as much as he boldly attacks the instrument with a fluid ferocity and attitude that makes one stop dead in their tracks.Over the last 15 years, Chambers has continued to evolve through regular touring, not only honing his guitar mastery, but also refining his vocal and songwriting talents along the way. In October 1998, Chambers released his initial recording effort Strong Temptation which to date has shipped more than 15,000 copies. Since then, Chambers has had a number of milestones in his career, one of which was becoming the musical director and guitarist for the legendary Hubert Sumlin of Howlin' Wolf fame. Touring the world with Sumlin for almost five years, they performed before sellout crowds at major clubs and festivals in the US, Europe, Japan, and Canada. Following in the footsteps of many of his idols, Chambers has been especially well received outside the US, and particularly in Europe where he has both toured with Sumlin and on his own. Europe's premiere music authority, Guitarist magazine, listed him as one of the 50 top guitarist of the last century, edging out the distinguished likes of Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Keb Mo among others. Europe's Total Guitar magazine gave Strong Temptation five stars and cited the record as "the most impressive Blues debut since SRV's Texas Flood." Chambers continues to develop his powerful style on his March 2004 release Humble Spirits, which showcases his musical evolution beyond the standard ...
| | Beer Dawgs Little Luck CD (2002)
Crackin' The Blues songs
$15.19
Steve Wall (guitar, synthesizer, background vocals); Otis Mourning (tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, horns, washboard, percussion); Andrew Browne (bass, background vocals); Dave Oppedal (drums).
The Beer Dawgs are a Northern California band based in Sacramento. They've been playing 5 nights a week for almost 19 years & are in the Sacramento Music Hall of Fame (Sammies). "A Little Luck" is their 9th CD, the first featuring the "Horn Dawgs" horn section. The sixth song on A Little Luck, album number eight from one of Sacramento's hardest working bands, is titled "Tony Joe." Now any combo that pens and records a love letter to Tony Joe White, whose 1968 hit "Polk Salad Annie" is such a touchstone of Southern-fried skank rock, is alright. Chalk that strikeof white lightning up to Bawb Pearce, whose cigs 'n' Jack-tainted vocal cords slouch toward the Dr. John school of dissipation, possesses a musical vision that's retro and quite Southern, reminiscent of another California band with a keen understanding of Highway 99, Little Feat. And Pearce's partner in crime, guitarist Steve Wall, coaxes the kind of noises ...

Crackin' The Blues music CDs
$19.19
Bill Kirchner's Everything I Love features the unusual trio of soprano sax, accordion, and drums. However, due to the brilliant playing of Eddie Monteiro, who utilizes a MIDI accordion, the band sounds very complete. Kirchner's lyrical soprano is mostly heard on wistful ballads, with a few medium-tempo romps thrown in for variety. The one major departure, "For Steve Lacy," features Kirchner on four overdubbed sopranos for a droning piece that recalls the late soprano great. Jackie Cain, in her first recordings since the death of her husband, pianist Roy Kral, sounds wonderful on her two appearances, "Try to Understand" and "I Almost Said Goodbye." Overall, this is an often haunting, subtle, and consistently creative set that rewards repeated listenings and reminds one that Eddie Monteiro is one of the greats of his much-maligned instrument. ~ Scott Yanow
