BLACK'S BEAT, THE DAILY PLAN-IT (Dan Black) It's been a long time since a fully blown blues album by an Aussie band has made the national charts. This seems sure to change with the release of Bad Weather Blues by the Bondi Cigars. Out now on Larrikin, the Cigars have unleashed a scorching set of blues and rock numbers that more than match the white blues bands coming out of the USA on such famous labels as Alligator, Rounder and Black Top. Most of the album tracks are Pacey/Karski compositions, rather than tired old covers that most blues acts seem to rely on. Les Karski's guitar work confirms his status as one of this country's very best - smoky on the slow numbers and full of fire on the rockers. The opening track Booze Blues, a driving rocker, sets the tone for the album; but the Cigars also show they're adept at bluesy ballads with track three, Lies and Tenderness.

Despite his statement in the liner notes that "In an era where it is best to play it safe, I chose to take a risk...," there isn't much surprising or risky about young guitarist Joe Bonamassa's fifth studio album. Most of his previous releases have mixed blues covers with his own originals, all played with a rocker's attitude, volume and less-than-subtle approach. This one follows suit and even though he goes on to say that he "wanted to make a blues album, not a rock album that has blues on it," as in the past; it's impossible to claim that he has succeeded with You & Me. That doesn't make this a bad or disappointing disc; quite the contrary, it's a solid blues-rock release and arguably his best work to date. But as early as the second track, an original rocker titled "Bridge to Better Days," Bonamassa takes off on an early Free/Savoy Brown-styled stomper. Things settle down and get more rootsy on the following two slow blues tracks, although a lovely Bonamassa original, "Asking Around for You," adds strings, not exactly a touch most would associate with pure blues. Regardless, it's extremely effective and when the strings return on a nine-and-a-half-minute cover of Led Zeppelin's "Tea for One," it is a spine-tingling experience and ...

| | J J Cale The Road To Escondido CD (2006)
Bad Weather Blues
$14.49
J.J. Cale is perhaps best known for penning hits for Eric Clapton, including "Cocaine" and "Midnight Hour," yet he's also an accomplished and extremely talented songwriter and guitarist. While no one ever declared, "Cale is God," Clapton clearly has always thought highly of him, and in 2006, the Clapton/Cale mutual admiration society finally made its way into the studio.
The result is 14 songs' worth of the relaxed blues hybrid that Cale built his career around and that earned Clapton the nickname '"Slowhand." The duo produced all the tracks and wrote the majority of them, with some help from guests such as Taj Mahal, Derek Trucks, the late Billy Preston, and John Mayer, who wrote the song "Hard to Thrill" for the album. THE ROAD TO ESCONDIDO is a mellow musical good time between friends, and for fans of the two musicians, it's a front-row seat to a rare and scintillating collaboration.

| | Sweet Soul Music: The Stax Groups CD (1988)
Bad Weather Blues
$10.89
Stax is usually thought of as the gritty alternative to pop/soul, but in their later years it recorded a fair quantity of "sweet soul" more akin to Motown and Gamble-Huff than Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett. This has 13 Stax productions from the late '60s and early '70s, sung by smooth (and obscure) male groups like the Limitations, the Epsilons, the Lords, the Newcomers, and Fat Larry's Band; the Dramatics and (to a lesser degree) the Mad Lads and the Temprees are the only easily recognizable names to casual soul fans. It's okay, but primarily for collectors. It's pleasantly produced and harmonized... ~ Richie Unterberger

Bad Weather Blues
$9.59
If emo is too emo for you and alternative/rock/metal has started dull your senses with sameness, you might find In a Big Room, by Marigold Engine just the fix to slide you into that comfort zone where you feel like this band has always been your friend & you're just glad that they finally came out with something new for you to groove to.Whether it's the driving bass on Drive In, or the silky vocals In a Big Room or Virtual's techno-groove there's something here to please anyone.You're the Lightning is clearly single material with it's spunky U2-like guitar, rich vocals and crisp drums. Goodbye, has funky acoustic verses, power chord chorus, and timely lyrics about New York memories. Drive In is just as catchy as Lightning... but In a Big Room is my favorite. It's beautiful ballad feel, clean melody & fresh harmonies are perfectly balanced with airy guitars and fills. -- Kevin Valentine, VALENTINE FINE ARTS***Check out this great review from Michigan-based, MUEN Magazine - he liked us so much you'd swear we knew him (we don't): ME - excerpts from the review: Score: 5 out of 5 Solid hooks, charismatic vocals, lots of adrenaline and a gut feel for where to lay the icing on thick."
