Carson Downey Band The Carson Downey Band may appear to many as a "overnight sensation," but this superb Blues trio has been performing in the Halifax region for many years. They've gone by the names the Little City Blues Band and the Big City Blues Band before settling on "The Carson Downey Band." Their precise performances are a tribute to the time they've spent together perfecting their art. The fact that "All the Way" is their debut album is the biggest surprise.
At first sight, the Carson Downey band's 1997 discovery appears to be an instant success story. The boss of a record label chance to overhear the band performing via an open door. He looked in, impressed by the Canadian band's mix of blues and rock, and was taken aback by the sight of the guitarist playing the guitar with his teeth. The music executive immediately approached the band about a record deal.
While the narrative is correct, success did not happen overnight. The band had been together for over two decades and had developed a loyal fanbase in the region. Big City Blues Band and Little City Blues Band were their first names.
The Canadian band, which started in North Preston, near Halifax, had a fortuitous break when it was invited to perform at a showcase around the same time as the East Coast Music Awards (ECMA). They were heard by Andrew McCain, the head of Loggerhead Records. Loggerhead's debut album, All the Way, was recorded in 1999 and was released not long after.
The band's fast-paced mix of blues and rock gained a lot of attention and earned them several awards, including the Fender East Coast Guitarist of the Year in 2000. The band was named Best Blues Group and Best New Artist at the 2001 ECMA Awards. It won Drummer of the Year in the same year.The Maple Blues Awards named it Drummer of the Year and Best New Artist, while the African Nova Scotian Music Awards named it Artist of the Year and Album of the Year.
Following that came a half-dozen Real Blues Awards, including Best Live Act and Best Debut CD. The band was also presented with The Dutch Mason Award. They've played for troops all around the world, including in Afghanistan, Honolulu, Guam, Marshall Islands, China, and Tokyo, to mention a few. Carson Downey, guitarist and main vocalist, Marlowe Smith, bassist, and Murray Downey, drummer, are the members of the band.

Sydney Ellis "Live! Just Before Dawn" is Sydney Ellis' fifth album. Previously released were "Goin' Home" (1994), "Amazing Grace" (1995), "Ask A Woman Who Knows" (1998) and "Tug River" (2003). The impressive singer was born in Red Jacket (West Virginia) and grew up in Cleveland (Ohio). Her career began in Los Angeles in 1991 and as the frontwoman of various bands she has performed in over three hundred clubs around Los Angeles. In addition to singing, traveling the world is another passion. It's great when you can combine the two, because Sydney Ellis has now given over a thousand concerts in twenty-five countries.
The protagonist's musical roots are in the blues. However, her recordings and live performances make it clear that she also cuts an excellent figure in soul, gospel and jazz. This fact is also proven by the current record "Live! Just Before Dawn".
Christoph Böhm aka BeBof is an outstanding guitarist who has his own band, BeBof DeLuxe & The Delta Horns, and also plays in the Ludwig Seuss Band and Al Jones. Keyboard player Martin Preiser is at home in many styles, studied jazz piano at the Conservatoire de Musique in Luxembourg and »has been a teacher at the Emmerich Smola Music School in Kaiserslautern since 1997.« With drummers Roland Weber and Christoph Zeitner and Doc Ellis on bass, Sydney Ellis has a real groove station behind her.
The album "Live! Just Before Dawn" doesn't ask the listener any questions, but gives answers. With compact songs or numbers that are refined with a lot of inspired improvisation, the singer and her band have released an impressive album.
In addition to her own compositions, the American puts her own stamp on songs by Preston Foster, Al Jackson, Elmore James, Koko Taylor and T-Bone Walker, for example. "Jump For Joy" is not only the title that is the perfect door opener for an extremely entertaining album, which leaves nothing to be desired even with its almost seventy-five minutes of playing time. The opener grooves, has drive and with the first solos from Martin Preiser and BeBof you can guess where the musical journey will take you.
The song "Fishin' Trip" goes deep into the blues. This slow blues is dynamic and her singing is almost guaranteed to give you goosebumps. If you expect the classic "Stormy Monday Blues" to be a piece that is played from the sheet, you're definitely wrong about Sydney Ellis & Co. They give the number a groovy jazz outfit. This gives the track a new side that is simply tongue-in-cheek. This number is awesome!But watch out! There are more highlights to come. From the heart-rending slow blues "Trouble In Mind" to the emotional "I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home" comes, in my opinion, the central piece of the live album. "Was It A Whisper", a composition written by Sydney Ellis, is the album's highlight. Soul, gospel, funk and blues are all in line and all genres are covered. At almost ten and a half minutes, this song is a brilliant musical journey, a gourmet delight, in a class of its own, and not just because of the floating groove.
Time flies, just like at a real concert. "Live! Just Before Dawn" is a gorgeous record in every respect and if "Stormy Monday Blues" was a surprising interpretation, then you can be sure that the reading of another classic ("I've Got My Mojo Working") is of the same high standard.
Syndey Ellis is a special singer who combines all facets of the blues and related styles in her voice. Many other artists can only dream of that. "Live! Just Before Dawn" is an excellent example of what live music should sound like in a twelve-bar setting.

Gary Cain Gary Cain is a Canadian singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist and his latest release, Next Stop, is a stunning tour de force of musicianship. In addition to writing all the music and lyrics, Cain also provides all the vocals and handles all the guitar parts, the bass, percussion and drum programming. Indeed, the only other musician on the album is John Lee who provides B3 organ on the closing track, “A Short, Furious Goodbye”.
The opening track, “Billionaires In Space”, sets out Cain’s stall impressively and also sets the tone for the entire album. The lyrics display an acute political awareness, highlighting the ever-growing wealth gap in society. Cain sings: “Seas are rising, and you got no home. They don’t pay no taxes and we’re on our own. Billionaires in space” and “One small step for mankind to a living wage. Instead we’re living through a second gilded age. Time has come now, won’t you join me as we raise our collective middle finger to the billionaires in space.”
Cain is a mighty impressive guitarist, with a fleet-fingered, heavy-rock edge. “Confusion” is based around a single note riff that recalls Hendrix at his rockiest and a wild outro solo that accurately reflects the anguish of the lyrics. “Gatekeeper” has a funky rock edge and again raises societal issues in the lyrics.
This is blues-rock, but very much at the rock end of the spectrum. It is in-your-face, muscular and aggressive. The songs are often based around single note, heavy guitar riffs and the solos can make Johnny Winter sound like he’s under-playing. But it is also exceptionally well done. Cain is keenly aware of the importance of dynamics, for example in the breakdown before the guitar solo in “Keep On Comin’”.
The one outlier on the album is the aptly named instrumental, “Kitchen Sink” on which Cain demonstrates his mastery of country licks, albeit played at the same breakneck speed and with the same wild abandon as the other tracks on the album. Even here, however, Cain throws in a middle section that somehow recalls the overblown classicism of Ritchie Blackmore. Indeed, there are various hints of Blackmore’s influence throughout the album, particularly in the virtuosity of the guitar solos and the heavy single note riffs that frame many of the songs.
There are no ballads or slower songs on Next Stop. Even the gentler, jazz-rock tinged verses of “Gone” lead inextricably to a heavy, guitar-driven chorus and the slow, melodic guitar part that opens the instrumental “A Short, Furious Goodbye” quickly leads to the short, furious farewell envisaged by the title of the song.
Written and recorded in Austin, Texas, mixed by Brian Moncarz and mastered by Noah Mintz at Lacquer Channel Mastering in North York, Ontario, Next Stop is a ferocious release. Its heavy rock influence may not appeal to all blues fans but there is no denying the serious talent on display here.

John Mayall John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers were an English blues rock band led by multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter John Mayall. The band has been influential as an incubator for British rock and blues musicians. Many of the best known bands to come out of Britain in the 1960s and 1970s had members that came through the Bluesbreakers at one time, forming the foundation of British blues music that is still played heavily on classic rock radio. Among those with a tenure in the Bluesbreakers are guitarists Eric Clapton (later of Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos and a successful solo career), Peter Green (later of Fleetwood Mac) and Mick Taylor (later of the Rolling Stones), bassists John McVie (later of Fleetwood Mac), Jack Bruce (later of Cream) and Tony Reeves (later of Colosseum), drummers Hughie Flint, Aynsley Dunbar (later of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Journey and Jefferson Starship), Mick Fleetwood (later of Fleetwood Mac) and Jon Hiseman (later of Colosseum), and numerous others.
Mayall used the band name between 1963 and 1970, then dropped it for twelve years. In 1982, a 'Return of the Bluesbreakers' was announced, and the name was used until the band again dissolved in 2008. The name has become generic, without a clear distinction between recordings by Mayall alone and those by Mayall and his band.

Oven Mitt Johnson The true origins of Oven Mitt Johnson are somewhat of a mystery. Depending on the interview you read, he grew up either in Detroit or Memphis, or he 'hatched out of a fireball from space'. Whatever his origins, Oven Mitt has emerged as a powerful force in the blues. Legend has it that he struggled for years as a typical (un-mitted) blues guitarist playing the coffee house and yuppie bar circuit. Back then, he was known simply as 'Johnson'. Everything changed one night in 1989 when he opened for Hot Glove Simms in Nashville. According to witnesses, Hot Glove's guitarist had a heat stroke halfway through the set and Mr. Johnson was asked to fill in. After the first song, Johnson looked over and noticed for the first time that Hot Glove Simms, the famous virtuoso blues pianist, wore mittens while playing - a fact that Hot Glove Simms had sucessfully kept a secret from everyone but his closest friends and band members until then. After the show, Hot Glove Simms asked the blues artist who would later become known as Oven Mitt Johnson to join his band. Hot Glove took this young blues man under his wing and, in exchange, Mr. Johnson helped Hot Glove Simms to develop a new repertoire that showcased his mittens, rather than hiding them. The two became like brothers and Mr. Johnson became increasingly proficient and daring with his guitar playing - until one night when he started noticing that the strings were actually heating up. He ignored the phenomenon at first and continued playing. By the end of the night, however, his strings were glowing like the heating elements in a toaster and he suffered 2nd degree burns on his finger tips. His doctor ordered him to stop playing guitar. The next day, Hot Glove Simms gave him the name Oven Mitt Johnson along with his first oven mitt and encouraged him to start his own band.

The Chicago Rhythm & Blues Kings The Chicago Rhythm & Blues Kings made their first appearance in Minnesota since the September release of their new self-titled album at Legend's in St. Cloud, Minnesota. When I mentioned to veteran sax player, Terry Ogolini, how I had been waiting with great anticipation for the new CD, he laughed and said; "I know. We've been waiting for nine years!"For those who are not familiar with the Chicago Rhythm & Blues Kings; the band was formerly known as The Mellow Fellows, backing up singer Larry "Big Twist" Nolan for several years. After Nolan's untimely death, the band remained together and continued to perform as The Mellow Fellows. Since losing Nolan, the band has endured several personnel changes and, eventually, the name change to the Chicago Rhythm & Blues Kings. Their new CD, released on September 28 of this year, is the first release for the band under the new name.
The current Chicago Rhythm & Blues Kings includes three former members of Big Twist and The Mellow Fellows; sax man Terry Ogolini, bassist Bob Halaj and trumpet player Don Tenuto. The rest of the band is comprised of David Mick on guitar; Willie "The Touch" Hayes on drums; and singer Ernie Penniston, who bears some frightening similarities to the late Larry "Big Twist" Nolan in looks and sound.
Opening their first set with two instrumentals, the band allowed each member to take a solo and show off their individual skills. The band was well-rehearsed and tight, doing an excellent job of bringing the crowd into the performance. The first vocals for the evening were handled by drummer, Willie Hayes, performing Jimmy Reed's, "Let It Roll."
Once vocalist Ernie Penniston climbed onto the stage, the level of energy exhibited by the band changed noticeably, with all members of the band becoming more animated in the wake of the charismatic Penniston. From his opening vocals on "Sitting On The Back Porch," and throughout the evening, Penniston captivated the crowd and encouraged the audience to get up and party along with him.
During the evening, the band mixed original tunes from the new CD (which every member of the band is CLEARLY proud of) with a variety of extremely well done cover tunes. Songs from Buddy Guy ("Slippin' In" and "I Go Crazy"); Tyrone Davis ("Turning Point"); and classics like "Little Bit" and "You Send Me" entertained the audience. The band was very tight and the solos, especially those by guitarist David Mick, Ogolini and Tenuto were fantastic. Whether soloing alone or playing off of each other, every solo was entertaining, making each of the three sets fly by, ending before they really seemed to get started. Personally, although I truly enjoyed every song, I would have liked to have seen more of Ernie Penniston during each set.
