Full Descriptionlayers of Blues, Reggae, Country, and Jazz. This follow up album consists of eleven songs, ten written by Gillespie. Each of the well-crafted tunes contains a hook, sometimes lyrical, while other times a riff, arrangement, or sentimentality. The band includes Terry Gillespie (guitar, vocals, trumpet), Stepehen Barry (bass), Gordon Adamson (drums, percussion), Peter Measroch (piano, organ), Jody Golick (saxophones), and Martin Boodman (harmonicas). Opening with "Brother of The Blues," Gillespie writes and sounds like Greg Brown. The surprise here is a funky little beat that powers the song. The careful choice of words and phrasing makes it stick in your head. On "Yellow Moon" the surprise is the Ska sounding horns that join in on the second verse. Jody Golick's saxophone is infectious. "Big Boy" is a Rockabilly treat, "when I grow up I want to have a big band," once again it's the big band-styled horns that pick it up in the middle. Terry Gillespie's soft trumpet on "Carl Nicholson" begins a Jimmy Cliff-influenced Reggae tribute to Gillespie's musical influences, including Carl Nicholson, Steve Valentine, and Van Morrison. Terry Gillespie sounds like Van Morrison when he sings on "Love Again" and Peter Measroch's piano is perfect. "Cold Ground" is a Hoyt Axton-sounding Country Blues with nice harp playing by Martin Boodman. "Those Days Are Gone" rollicks and Terry sounds like Bob Dylan. "Change My Style" is the only song on the album not written by Gillespie and he credits it as being "traditional." "Rue Guy Boogie" is the best Blues on the album and once again Jody Golick on saxophone solos nicely. "Bathtub" probably started as a kid's song, but it is so much fun as it Reggaes out, horns and all. "Krushev" at first seems dated, but after several listens one imagines it is also a children's song that has somehow grown up. Sue Foley plays lead guitar and credits Terry Gillespie as a major influence in her career. Terry Gillespie & The Granary Band possess a magic that seems to occur right in the middle of each song. It's what causes the hairs to rise on the back of your neck. Richard Ludmerer is a contributing editor at BluesWaxCopyright Visionation, Ltd 2007.

He’s a bluesman to the core, but not in the traditional sense for he has range and influences that take blues to a whole new level. His blues is the truth and it comes through with every word and melody he wraps his soulful voice around. This is real!” - Sue FoleyBrother of the Blues, a semi-autobiographical work, is a powerful CD.

“Life sometimes makes the spirit weak; A little music for the soul will get you back on your feet”Guitar Jack’s latest independent release Private Tears is just that: music for the soul. This modern blues album features collaborations with high-profile musicians, original compositions, and the candid, soulful playing of Guitar Jack. Private Tears is characterized by the heartfelt musicianship that leaves audiences wanting more. On songs such as the title track, “Private Tears,” Guitar Jack not only speaks to the audience through his singing voice, but more notably, through the riffs and voice of his guitar. “Private Tears” opens with an intimate, emotional monologue of the guitar, in which one can almost hear the guitar speaking. Another well-crafted song on the album, and Guitar Jack’s favorite, “Sweet Music” is not a traditional down-home blues track; rather it is a song that soothes the soul with the sweet sound of the guitar, while maintaining some of the traditional elements of the blues genre.His third release, ...

The Catch Blues Band’s sound has been described as the “blues with a splash of rum”, where B.B. King meets Bob Marley, with Clapton-like vocals. This mixture of genres has earned The Catch Blues Band a dedicated following in the Upper Ohio Valley since the veteran musicians formed the group in 2006. The four-piece band’s distinctive rhythms create an expansive sound. The interplay between Dana Burkhart’s elaborate bass lines along with the Latin-influenced percussions created by John “J.D.” Daner gives the music a serious depth. When added to the unmistakably blues-like raunchiness of Kevin Brosh’s organ and piano accompaniment and topped off with Mike Roeder’s distinctive vocal and guitar stylings, ...
