Album Notes

James Day & the Fish Fry’s Blue Latitudes (Neon Blue 2012) covers the map of blues & roots styles, with smart songwriting touching on jump(“No Meat to Tough” shows some of Louis Jordon’s humor),zydeco ("Zydeco Boogaloo”), Sun-style rockabilly (“Money Smarts & Charms"),slow blues(“Weather Blues”),hokum (“Screen Scratching Woman”), hard swinging blues a la William Clarke (“Next New Thing”), Latin sounds (“Blowing Smoke”),New Orleans street parades (“Festival Time”),and snaky swamp grooves (“Muscadine Wine”). Day is a likeable vocalist and his harp playing is refreshingly outside the box. Guitarist Mark Shewchuk operates on a similarly quirky basis, spinning unexpected lines. A lot of fun.

Louis Jordan meets Little Walter on the way to New Orleans.
author: Marcel Vos (RTV Gouwestad)
Louis Jordan meets Little Walter on the way to New Orleans. This band sounds fresh. Songs all sound familiar but are still originals. What the heck blues IS traditional music. With a tight rhythm section & great Watson like jump blues gtr from The Professor & some cool suckin'& blowin' from James this band beats 9 out 10 bands on CD baby. James proves that you don't have to have a great voice to be a good singer. Certainly would go to see them live if they are in the neighbourhood. A pity that a live a couple of 1000 miles away. Marcel "Double Trouble" Vos, RTV Gouwestad, The Netherlands

If you want to “Jump” this is the right way! James and his band are one of the coolest surprise from the independent blues releases in these last months. Fresh sound……Groovy rhythms!
