Excellent blues CD. Pick up a copy today!

Take a little bit of rock, a little bit of blues, and a lot of groove and you've got "The Best of the Michael Packer Blues Band." Michael's raspy and memorable vocals are well-matched with the mood of the music to bring the listener into a hopping blues bar on a Saturday night. The soulful backing female vocals add a nice touch to Michael's vocals. The horn section is tight with tasteful and impressive sax fills throughout. Tracks such as "Recovered Soul" and "I Can't Keep from Crying" have elements of mainstream radio hits with catchy choruses and a rhythm section that will have your body moving to the music. If enjoy the blues, but want a more upbeat rock feel, you'll love this CD. Pick up a copy today!
