Good Enough Alone (feat. Jack De Keyzer)

#165 in the Need To Know Badass Blues Instrumental Series, Good Enough Alone, features the renowned Canadian Blues guitarist, Jack de Keyzer. Because I don't know Jack (pun intended) and his track was telecommuted from The Great White North, I'm going to just place Jack's wiki right here and then you can learn about him as you listen to his badassery on this track. As always, I am grateful to you the listener, and to Jack for his participation. Enjoy!

The backing band on this track is Oakland Born/Nashville residing, funky AF, Derrek Phillips, (Gloria Gaynor, Robben Ford, Charlie Hunter) on drums, Les Izmore on the stereophonic rhythm guitars, and myself on bass. The track was recorded at NTA, South San Francisco, The Family Room, Nashville TN, and Jack's studio in Toronto. Mellifluously mixed and mastered by the infamous F-Bomb. 

Loud & Clear (feat. Nathan Graham)

#164 in the Need To Know Badass Blues Instrumental Series, Loud & Clear, features singer/songwriter and most importantly for us, guitarist, Nathan Graham. The echoes of years of gigs at Buddy Guy’s Legends and Kingston Mines are in every note of Nathan's playing but there's a whole other side to him. As a solo artist, Nathan has more in common with Bruce Springsteen than Buddy Guy and sounds more like Nashville than Chicago. But lucky for us Nathan was game to share the Chicago with us on this brawler. Check out Nathan when he tours through your town, and as always, please enjoy!

The backing band on this track is Alvino Bennett (Dave Mason, Stevie Wonder) on drums, Les Izmore on the stereophonic rhythm guitars, and myself on bass. The basics were recorded at Skunkworks in Capitola CA with additional recording by Steven Shirk at Shirk Studios, Chicago. Mellifluously mixed and mastered by the infamous F-Bomb.

Slappin (feat. Adrian Quesada)

#163 in the Need To Know Badass Blues Instrumental Series, Slappin, features Black Pumas guitarist/ producer Adrian Quesada. This is yet another example of cats from Texas that just have it. If you haven't heard the psychedelic soul sound of Black Pumas, you really gotta check out their 2019 eponymous release. These cats made a record and four months later were getting Grammy nominations, TV placements, and high-profile gigs. Like I said, some cats just have it. So grateful that Adrian found time to share some of it on this track. Enjoy! 

The backing band on this track is Rich Kirch (John Lee Hooker 1984-2001) and Les Izmore on the stereophonic rhythm guitars, Willy Jordan (Elvin Bishop) on drums, and myself on bass. Recorded at Skunkworks in Capitola CA. Mellifluously mixed and mastered by the infamous F-Bomb.
