CD Review – blue barry
Smoky Mountain Blues Society
You must check out Moreland
& Arbuckle’s “1861” CD it is just what you are
looking for. Here’s how; go to www.morelandarbuckle.com,
or www.northernblues.com.
So we got that out of the way, now let’s
talk about these guys. They are 3 musicians
from Kansas. Where? That’s right
Kansas. Looks, and sounds, like the
Delta just moved closer to the Midwest. These guys can really play. From the opening track to the last one it is
rocking. I mean bluesing. Hope that’s a word. “Chainsaw” Moreland can play some great
guitar, and Dustin Arbuckle can harp it with any of them out there. The tone on Arbuckle’s harp is something to
behold. I mean it just honks like
Godzilla coming out of Tokyo Bay. They
have slow ballads, slide pieces, great vocals, long tunes that you can wade
into, just what you need. I really like
these guys. They have been in the car
for weeks now. I would love to have a
harp set up that sounds like this. We
have 12 cuts here, some over 6 minutes long.
Really well done stuff, with heart and soul. They have what it takes.
Absolutely, I say go get this one.
Summer coming on, and blues coming on strong with it. Great job men. Thanks. Your friend, blue
