Album Notes

Blues Outlet's new "I Feel So Good" CD is NOT the same ol' blues record. Not by a long shot. It's one of those magic silver discs that just grows from strength to strength; The musical highpoints are many and varied.

Three cuts were recorded live at the historic Sun Studio in Memphis --the legendary birthplace of rock 'n' roll. You can just hear the Mississippi mud and the Memphis mojo easing out of the speakers and into your earholes.

And-- there are no fewer than three W.C.Handy Award winners and nominees featured: DUKE ROBILLARD, PAUL GEREMIA and JAMES MONTGOMERY. Plus...the guitarist's guitarist Bob "Snakeshaker" Angell. (Picture Hubert Sumlin's left hand and Roy Buchanan's right hand strokin' a garish pawnshop guitar and a battered ol' Fender amp. And loud as the hammers of hell! Swe-e-e-e-t!!)

As one Brit. blues pundit put it: "Cor,this is what (Peter Green's )Fleetwood Mac could've been!"

Boston blues sing-sa-tion Kelly Knapp hollers out the title song and several other fantastic selections. She's an American treasure. One in a million. Like Emmylou Harris? Then you'll LOVE Kelly Knapp!There's no better singer on the planet.

Add Stevie Ray Vaughan's old drummer (and the percussive force behind Otis Rush and Big Walter) Jack Moore, blues bassist extraordinaire Chicago Vinnie Earnshaw and the living legend Harmonica Robert on the Louisiana licking stick ..and... ladies 'n' gents...you've got sumthin' go-o-o-d!!!!!

Don't miss this one; It's a keeper!!
