Blues recommendation - Michael Powers

[Dave J]

I don't recall seeing any mention of Michael Powers here before, but I wanted to pass on a strong recommendation for 'Onyx Root', an album that I missed when it first came out in 2004 but has really impressed me.

With a voice reminiscent of Buddy Guy, Blind Missisippi Morris with maybe a touch of Ben Andrews, Powers makes his way through a series of acoustic and electric blues (and a few soul) numbers, playing some searing guitar on the way. If you're into Ronnie Earl, Hubert Sumlin or Buddy Guy, you'll love this.....

Damn you Dave J. - you just cost me £11.99! I ordered the cd after listening to just the first two tracks from Amazon's UK site; this sounds to be an excellent album.
Thanks for the recommendation

Mick.

My pleasure, Mick, sometimes you come across an album that just has to be recommended to others and this was one of those occasions.

I'm sorry but unfortunately I'm going to have to damage your wallet just a bit more (but you can get them cheaper at caiman) with a great album by Kirk Fletcher http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00030N49Q/ref=ord_cart_shr/202-3343613-4156603?%5Fencoding=UTF8 and another by Little Milton http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos...d_cart_shr/202-3343613-4156603?_encoding=UTF8 , which is a bit like early BB King.

Cheers

Dave

And while we're at it here are a couple of excellent albums on Nugene Records, neither of which anyone will have heard of before. Matt Schofield, remarkablyfrom Manchester (he sounds and plays a bit like Robben Ford) http://www.nugenerecords.com/catalo...01&PHPSESSID=43f6f6caea8249b01ec8d76558d4c41b and Ian Seagal whose album, Meat & Potatoes, is terrific http://www.nugenerecords.com/catalogue.php?page=listen&id=NUG502.

Sorry about that, get it spent....
