Album Notes

"Blues & Other Moods is passionate, energetic and emotionally charged. Often, Andy will dazzle his audience with bluesy improvisations making it almost impossible to hear the same song performed twice the same way."

Andy Kimbel is a very talented folk and country-blues performer whose star is rising quickly on the national blues and folk scene. Listen to him play and you will hear the influences of traditional blues, folk, R&B and a touch of New Orleans style roots music.

On Blues & Other Moods, Andy performs a unique selection of material that ranges from gentle ballads and pointed originals, to hard driving country blues and slide guitar using various tunings and harmonics. His own distinct interpretations set him apart and give even old traditional blues a new face. Andy is a great improviser, often re-inventing words and music using the themes of traditional blues and rock & Roll stemming from the early 20's to the mid 30's.

Piano performed by David Decca and Violin performed by Karen Lyn flow beautifully with the guitar on a few selections that really add the icing to the cake on this nicely produced CD.

"His always expressive guitar playing that ranges from frolicking and exuberant to driving and soulful. Whether picking, plucking, or using a skillful slide, Kimbel brings to the stage vision of the roots of American Music that conjures up everything from rambling railroad trains to dark and lonely nights of solitary traveling"...Big Shout Magazine
