GRAMS & KRIEGER
Arizona Blues Hall of Fame (ABHOF) members Danny Krieger and Steve Grams met at a gig ten years ago and have been friends and musical partners ever since. The incomparable Louis Jordan is also an ABHOF member and Steve likes to joke he never thought he'd be in a group with Louis Jordan!
Danny is one of the Southwest's most respected guitarists/slide guitarists and is much sought out by the nation's top bands for recording and touring. From a four- year tour with British pop band Christy in the early '70s to recordings with Stephen Stills and the late Andy Gibb, to backing Big Joe Turner, Smokey Wilson and Eric Burdon, Danny is a consumate artist. Originally from L.A., Danny has also toured with Debbie Davies and formed the band Mambo Gigolos with John "Juke" Logan.
Steve has been in Tucson since 1979 and built a solid reputation as one of the areas most reliable bassists. During that time he has played on over 80 LPs and CDs in addition to twice winning the Tucson Area Music Award for bass player of the year (1998, 2005.) His list of sideman credits includes working with Nappy Brown, Teddy Morgan, Big Time Sarah Streeter, Rainer, Smokin' Joe Kubek and Bnois King, Andrew "Jr. Boy" Jones, Lisa Otey, Bo Diddley, R.J. Mischo, Holland's Mr. Boogie Woogie, and French singer/songwriter Alexandra Roos.
The duo has three CDs to their credit: "Two Days" from 2001, "That's the Way We Work" (2003), on Vitalegacy Records(www.vitalegacy.com), and "No, You!", on the Dutch label Firesweep Records (www.firesweeprecords.nl.) Listening to "Two Days", so titled because that's how long it took to record, is like being at a Grams & Krieger performance. There were no overdubs on the CD, just lots of fun. This CD's is an acoustic blend of Urban Blues, Roots Rock, and Country Blues. As with a their performances, the CD reflects a high level of songwriting, singing, and playing.

In April I had the honor to introduce you to Grams & Krieger by offering their second Album "That's the Way We Work". So perhaps it's time to post some more work of this friendly duo. This is their first album, from 2000, which was recorded in a friend's living room. Although this has some consequences for the quality of the recordings (the singing could have more dynamics in the reordings) it creates a warm and intimate atmosphere. Listening to this album is like being at one of their performances yourself. This effect is enhanced by the fact that there are no overdubs at all! The CD contains a wonderful blend of Urban Blues, Country Blues and 'Roots Rock' and demonstrates not only their musical skills but perhaps even more the fun they have working together. The songs on this CD eflect the unique chemistry between the two!

author: DynaSteve's bass & Danny's guitar virtuosity combined with their vocals...in two words...I'm hooked. When's the next CD coming out?
BLUES ALL DAY should become a standard.
author: Stuart Faxon, The Desert BluesbeatG&K have worked within the blues' structures--and with each other--so long that playing and writing within them sounds like second nature. They've made a record as comfortable for themselves and the listener as bedroom slippers on a rainy day. If there's somebody in Tucson who knows better than DK how to better marry a slide and a fretboard, I ain't heard 'em. BLUES ALL DAY, as I've previously noted, should become a standard. It certainly has the quality of one. It also highlights how well G&K sing as well as play together. Danny's box splatters out notes as if in the frustration the lyrics describe.
