Nitelife Boogie Music Review

Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars) 3 stars

3 stars Fine effort by Curran et al
Good first effort by Nick & the Nitelifes, nice mutant combination of blues and boogie. Could certainly do without "Space Guitar" but other ditties like "Low Down Dirty Shame", "Jukebox Mama", and especially "Close To Midnight" more than make up for it. Definately recommended for anybody interested in the evolution of Nick and his charming retro sounds.

Kid Ramos Greasy Kid's Stuff CD (2001)

Nitelife Boogie CD music

$13.55

For his fourth solo release, and third on the Evidence label, the Fabulous Thunderbirds' guitarist, Kid Ramos, once again calls in some high-profile blues friends for assistance. Instead of last album's guitarists and jump blues horns, this time Ramos sticks with harpists/vocalists to provide the momentum on a set of relatively stripped-down, greasy blues. He's also the only guitarist on the sessions, which makes this a spotlight for his picking as well as his bandleading abilities. Harmonica aces Rick Estrin (Little Charlie & the Nightcats), Paul de Lay, Lynwood Slim, Johnny Dyer, James Harman (who only plays on one of his three tracks and sings on the others), and Charlie Musselwhite, along with Rod Piazza, all contribute. The leadoff title cut, an instrumental that sounds like it was left over from his last horn-infused West Coast album, is the one exception. The sessions were cut in two days, which gives them a raw, not quite primal edge that adds to the gritty nature of the recording. Although the original intent ...

Nick Curran Doctor Velvet CD (2003)

$14.49

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 ...

Mitch Kashmar Nickels & Dimes CD (2005)

Nitelife Boogie album

$13.79

A bluesman toils for decades, respected and admired by his peers and fans, but because he usually stays close to home, and releases only a scant few recordings (now collector's items), he mostly flies under the radar of the blues world at large. Along the way he develops his own style, carrying on the tradition but taking it to the next logical step and making it his own. He refines his music, honing it into something finer than a craft, truly taking it to the level of art. He's able to make a living creating the music that he loves, but remains mostly an unfamiliar name outside his locality.

Then along comes a fan who makes it his mission to let the world know what the locals have known all along. Finally the bluesman's "big break" is at hand, and he takes the place he's earned, and long deserved, among the pantheon of celebrated and influential blues names.

It's a story that goes back to the early days of the first blues revival in the early 1960s...except that it's happening right now, in 2005.
