Album Notes

Ain’t That Somethin’?

When was the last time that you bought a CD that was filled with great music from start to finish?

So often when we buy a CD from our favorite artist on a major record label, we’re lucky to get three songs that we love to listen to, as we skip through the rest of the mediocre music to get to them. Even more disappointing when you break it down to dollars and cents is that we just spent over $15.00 to listen to the three songs that we like. That’s 5 buck$ a song….OUCH!

D.C. & Co.’s “Ain’t That Somethin’” is the exception to the rule. This is 14 tracks of original Horn-Powered Rockin’ Blues, Swing, Funk & Jazz, that will turn you every which way but off! This disc combines songwriting at its finest, with top notch musicianship and a raw honest energy that makes the music jump to life.

Sterling Kotch, blues editor at PA Musician wrote “D.C. & Co. do it all and do it well!” Gordan Baxter from Blues On Stage, wrote “Ain’t That Somethin’ certainly lives up to it’s name!”

Think Chicago, back when they made real music, throw in Carlos Santana, some T.O.P., Allman Brothers, even a touch of Miles Davis, and that’s just the tip of this musical ice burg! This is a musically, wild rollercoaster ride that will grab you emotionally, rhythmically and intellectually from the start and take you through all the twist and turns, and ups and downs of a great ride. You will want to listen to this CD over and over.

Linda Garboczi of Saratoga, NY, bought the CD and wrote “ZOWEEE! Ain’t That Somethin’ is a work of art! I can’t stop listening to it” and Ray Grunnert for the Intellegencer Journal printed “Here’s an 8 piece band that you’ll be glad you got together with and glad they got you feeling good!
