Coming From The Old School Music Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

5 stars One for the ages
First introduced to Sam Myers on "Which way is Texas", I found his voice and delivery as pointed as you can expect the Blues to be. Now with his passing Sam becomes an american blues icon. If you are a true fan of the blues, "Comming from the old school" deserves to be in your collection.

5 stars Sam just keeps getting better
Sam Myers is at the top of his form. You can tell he enjoyed making this CD. He wrote many of the songs & is backed by excellent musicians. Mel Brown does a great job, as ususal, on guitar. If you do not know Sam Myers, this is the one CD to get. I hope that Sam sings these songs with Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets, with whom he has toured since the mid-80's. This album has resulted in Sam being nominated for the Handy Award this year; & he clearly deserves to win for album of the year. I hope there is more to come.

I found this album really slow and monotonous; and Sam's voice is well past it's prime. Well past. Blues for the ages? No. Blues for the aged.

Beach Music...Just ask any hometown Beach Music fan in South Carolina and they'll tell you all about how the popular shag is the official State dance or how Beach Music continues to merge the famous beach, boogie & blues sound with other famous names like General Johnson's Chairman Of The Board & The Temptations. The appeal of this music continues to sell not only locally, but worldwide as well. This album also features an emotionally charged guitar jam by Beach Music guitarists, David Goodman & Jordan Lee. The spontanious improv of Amazing Grace goes on for six minutes and fifty-one seconds of pure & powerful guitar drama! Recorded in digital stereo with no overdubs, the music is simply beautiful (more on this - See Amazing Grace below)SONG DETAILSJordan Guitar Blues revives a strong hint of Motown with a bit of of Booker T & the MG's thrown in for good measure, R&B guitar with a touch of homegrown soul. Rocking East Coast Blues, a mix of mississippi-Delta style blues & perfect Myrtle Beach shag style. Lots of rocking lead guitar & piano all the way through. Slow Jamming Guitar Blues is exactly as indicated - a series of three-chord progressions & modulations with some powerful guitar driven improv...Sandlapper Beach Music is a simple jazz/blues guitar song with walking bass guitar lines and a bold up-front lead guitar melody - great listening with just the right touch of rhythm!*Amazing Grace is performed in a one of a kind blues guitar format by David Goodman & Jordan Lee - if you're a fan of acoustic blues guitar, you're sure to love this rare and unusual arrangement of one of the world's best known Gospel classics.THE ORIGINAL BEACH MUSIC BAND BIOBack in the early to mid 1960's when some of the best Beach Music bands were gracing the airways with songs like 'Double Shot Of My Baby's Love' and 'Soulfinger' - other regional groups from the Carolina's like Second Nature, The Mystics & Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs ...
