11 MP3 Songs
BLUES: Soul-Blues, JAZZ: Hammond Organ
Details:
First of all-many thanks to all of you who enjoyed my first CD “Good Hands”, and helped make it so successful!
This new CD “How Sweet It Is” is an elaboration on my first CD. It''s for blues lovers, jazz lovers, R&B lovers and even Louisiana bayou dancers! It features tunes that go back to the bayou, to my time in the late 70''s with the great Clifton Chenier, cruising I-10 from Lafayette to Houston to play those church dances. Oh yes! And also my deep love for Jack McDuff, George Benson, Wes Montgomery, Bill Evans et al. I love the Hammond B3. And I’m so honored to have Barbara Morrison singing on this CD-she is hands down the most soulful woman in America, look out y’all, I mean, look OUT! She sings “The Promised Land” a song I wrote with the late, great Charles Brown. Barbara also sings the Little Willie John gem “I Need Your Love So Bad”. I love her vocals so much. Thank you Barbara!
And what can I say about Charles Brown?
Here he is singing a song he wrote about losing all his money, and counting on his E.S.P. to get it back. Good luck Charles Brown in heaven, AMEN. Ils Sont Partis!
The record ends in a jazz mode, with respect to Jack McDuff, Bill Evans and Scott La Faro - RIP.
The musicians on "How Sweet It Is" are all great.
We’ve got the return of Jimmy Pugh from the Robert Cray Band souling it up on Hammond B3 for the R&B tunes. Also John R Burr and Deszon Claiborne, John Wiitala, Ruth Davies, Jeff Ervin, Paul Revelli, Steve Evans from Coco Montoya’s band, not to mention Wayne De La Cruz kicking the Hammond B3 with Kent Bryson on drums for the organ trio tunes etc. Oh-and Lloyd Meadows on the rubboard of course....Oh yeah, then there''s yours truly, Danny Caron. I play guitar.
So please enjoy the soulful sounds everyone-and tell your friends. May it bring some joy.
