This is a blues lovers CD!!! If you like your blues music cut deep from the core then you will love the Dennis McClung Blues Band's new release, "Live! Out of the Ordinary." Recorded completely live in a local club with no production tricks, this has to be one of the purest, most honest blues performances available. The interaction between the audience and the band generates excitement from the first note. McClung's vocals are feverishly intense, and his lead guitar work is some of the finest you will hear any where. It stings with a passion that grabs you tight and won't let go. Add the sweetness of the piano and a sizzling rhythm section and you can't resist!!! The DMBB definitely delivers some powerful, hard-drivin' blues. "Live!

Dennis McClung Blues Band - the Fab Four of the Blues!
2 Apr 2006. PARIS, France. - I thought I knew how can sing Dennis McClung. I thought I knew how he and his band can play. Well, I knew nothing, but nothing at all! I couldn't imagine that it is humanly possible to sing like Dennis sings "How Blue Can You Get" on his new album Live! Out of the Ordinary. Recorded live at the Ordinary club in Clarksburg, WV, using only 2 microphones located amongst the audience, the whole album explodes the limits of the "rough perfectness" we adore the Blues for. A tribute to the Blues Greats, this record, from all points of view, may itself be considered as a chef-d'oeuvre of a Great Artist, which is Dennis McClung Blues Band - the Fab Four of the Blues!

I must admit I am prejudiced, because Dennis McClung is from Fairmont, WV, just a few miles from me in West Virginia. But this guy loves the blues, and it is obvious, from both his live performances and his CDS. I highly recommend the Dennis McClung Blues Band to anyone who loves the blues.
We are indebted to folks like Dennis for preserving the blues and spreading the word.

I'm probably much more delighted with " prisoner of the blues" because the covers are too numerous here.
Nevertheless , high energy and tremendous guitar skill.

Rockin' Hot Blues!
author: Jackie Shoemaker
Live, Out of the Ordinary. A treasure among my all-time favorite blues collections ever released. The Dennis McClung Blues Band recorded Live, Out of the Ordinary in the way that blues were meant to be heard. The raw, driving energy of Dennis McClung’s vocals and lead guitar, combined with Randy Franklin’s lively keyboard style, Bassist, Jason Corder and Drummer, Linnell Merchant’s superb musical genius, will leave you breathless, song after song!
This delightful blend of rockin and I mean rockin hot blues, demonstrates blues at it’s best! You’ll be impressed with Dennis McClung’s slide guitar work in, Touch of the Delta and Blues Before Sunrise. Live, Out of the Ordinary, offers a special, spell bounding experience found only among the best legendary performers of our time. You’ll find it all here, in this absolute must-have, live recording by The Dennis McClung Blues Band.
Among my favorites in this collection of electric blues is the song, How Blue Can You Get. Vocals and lead guitar performed by Dennis McClung in this song, exemplifies the master’s touch in his stunning performance. It is perhaps one of the finest examples of Eric Clapton style guitar and Johnny Winter vocals that you are going to hear anywhere else in the world.
The dynamics and soulful energy of this extraordinary group of blues musicians from West Virginia , will show you how it’s done, and done right! Don’t miss it, Live, Out of the Ordinary! You’re going to love it!
