Album Notes

The RWB sound is guitar-based and contemporary, with a sax section and soaring B3 adding tasty layers of texture. Add dual lead vocalists, a pinch of Motor City attitude, a drop or two of humor and top it all off with a splash of southern rock and you’ve got a musical molotov cocktail called the Rusty Wright Band.

VERY cool band
author: greg \"bluenote\" angel
Saw Rusty Wright for the first time at the Bayfront Blues Fest in Duluth, MN, this summer, and am hooked! Rusty is an excellent guitar player, and just the groove these folks lay out is just amazing, and just a fun party. Like i said the first time i heard Joe Bonamassa live, \"i gotta have every cd this band has issued. Have to get this band to Minneapolis!

I heard Rusty at a Jazz festiful. It reminded me some much of the old group - Little Feat. This CD is simply awesome. I could never have asked for anything better. Thanks

In his press kit, Rusty Wright uses a short paragraph to explain what “Rusty Wright Blues” is. As a way of explaining the bands untraditional style of blues, he compares using one crayon to using all the colors in the box. Hence, a more diversified, cutting edge, and unconventional, assortment of blues styles should be expected. Hmmmmm......"more diversified", "cutting edge" and "unconventional".....isn't that normal for Detroit area bands? So why the disclaimer? "AIN'T NO GOOD LIFE", the title track, proved to be one of the discs most traditional tracks. It's a soft ballad which introduces Rusty's magnificent voice and offers a tease of some great slide and lead guitar. The opening track has left me exactly where it's supposed to - I'm already looking forward to more. "I AIN'T FROM MISSISSIPPI" is fast, funky and furious. On this one RUSTY and STEVEN take turns losing control on guitar and organ while the rhythm section - behind Mr. & Mrs Wright on vocals - is keeping up with them. This one's hot! "THE FOOL WILL DO" is one of those songs that you just can't do anything while listening to - except boogie that is. As soon as it came on, my foot started tapping the floor, my hand started tapping my knee and my head started bobbing. Then, as soon as it ended instinct led me to hit the replay button and the process started all over again - without missing a beat. The combo of STEVE on keyboards, RANDY on bass and DAN on drums is one hell of a rhythm section. With all of the great guitar work and the constant groove that this rhythm section is in, this next statement may be debated, but "DO IT AGAIN" is all about the vocals. RUSTY AND LAURIE are amazing together. Not since the early years of the great Jefferson Airplane have I heard such good male/female vocal harmony. All I can say about "SUMMERTIME" is to add LAURIE to the long list of female singers that have done an excellent job belting out this tune. Just make sure she's near the top of that list. "MISSIN' YOU" is similar to "DO IT AGAIN". Musically the whole band is in a constant jam while RUSTY and LAURIE sing their hearts out. In the disc’s notes, RUSTY refers to "HELL ON MY HEELS" as four minutes of pure blues guitar mayhem in the tradition of the "Crossroads". Let's just say that's the ideal description of this track and leave it at that.
