Were these guys discovered in some smoky honky tonk in Lubbock or Amarillo or some swamp pop dive in Shreveport or Lafayette? Ummm... it says here that Blue Morning was recorded in Saugus, MA! This is clearly a labor of love from a super talented ensemble of veteran session players from the Boston area, and they nail it! From Jo Lily's wonderfully raspy Hiatt/Dylan vocals and downright nasty guitar playin' to the butt-kickin' rhythym section, this is a true delight from beginning to end. There's a garage band immediacy to their sound, but these cats can really play. I haven't heard their brand new release Down to the Shore, yet, but I'm sure it will warrant mention here soon. Until then.... crank it up!

About Me
- Tom David
- Menlo Park, CA, United States
- I'm a lifelong music fan and was lucky to grow up during the Golden Age of American pop music, from the birth of rock n' roll in the 50's to the San Francisco and Los Angeles music scenes of the 60's and 70's. I grew up on Border Radio (XERB) and free form FM radio which introduced me to multiple genres of music. This blog is a modest way of trying to share my passion with others who are curious about music that may not be featured in today's mainstream media.
