If you're a fan of Blues piano, you'll do more that just 'like' this one.
Back to the Woods: A Tribute to the Pioneers of Blues Piano is a fine collection of 15 standards from the greats of the blues piano canon, with tunes by Leroy Carr, Little Brother Montgomery, Otis Spann, Memphis Slim, Charlie Spand, and Charlie Calhoun, among others.
Leavell is backed by Chris Enghauser on upright bass and Louis Romanos on drums throughout, but there is a slew of well-known guests on the session to boot: Danny Barnes plays loads of guitar and banjo, Keith Richards and John Mayer each appear on a couple of tracks (both on Spann's "Boots and Shoes"), and Randall Bramblett plays saxophone on a few more.
Carr is obviously the muse here; five of his tunes are included in this mix, including "Mean Mistreater." Other highlights include Barrelhouse Buck McFarland's "I Got to Go Blues," the title track authored by Spand, and the reimagined Skip James number "If You Haven't Any Hay." This is a spirited collection, played and recorded beautifully. If anything, perhaps it's a bit too clean, but that's a trifling.

Just days after the release of a long-unfinished album, a group effort meant to help ease his struggles from Parkinson’s Disease, the widely admired rock and blues guitarist Jimmy Nalls died Thursday after a fall at his home. He was 66. Nalls, who had lived in Nashville since the mid 1980s, was famous for his role in 1970s southern rock and fusion group Sea Level. He was also a valued sideman who worked with a wide variety of major American artists, including Dr. John, Gregg Allman, T. Graham Brown and Lee Roy Parnell.

Gabriel Hernandez, owner of Blues Vintage Guitars, Inc. in Nashville and one of the producers of the new album, says Nalls was an underrated but influential guitar player. “He was at such a burgeoning scene and time in Macon, GA, when Capricorn Records was just exploding. He was doing session stuff for all kinds of people and hanging out with the Allman Brothers.”

The Jimmy Nalls Project, released June 19, is a collaboration by more than a dozen prominent guitarists and numerous other musicians and producers that completes a solo album Nalls had to abandon more than a decade ago after his Parkinson’s symptoms left him unable to play. In 2015, friends and colleagues rallied to complete tracks that were in various states, playing largely in Nashville’s House of Blues studio, often with Nalls on hand to enjoy it. The project was intended to raise funds to defray the substantial costs of Nalls’s care and to improve the disability accommodations in his home. Proceeds now will go to Nalls’s family.

Among the contributors to the album are international blues rocker Joe Bonamassa, Tennessee-based jazz icon Larry Carlton, rockers Robben Ford and Warren Haynes and standout Nashville six-stringers Jack Pearson, Johnny Hiland, J.D. Simo and Kenny Greenberg. Chuck Leavell, longtime keyboard player with the Rolling Stones and leader of Sea Level between 1976 and 1980, played on the album as well.

The link is no longer available. You are encouraged to buy this CD. Proceeds will go to Nalls’s family.

If there is such a thing as a British 'blues pedigree', then Dave Kelly's sets the standard. Kelly is a blues craftsman - a journeyman who has served his time with the best.

In New York he jammed with Muddy Waters. He became a friend to Howlin' Wolf and John Lee Hooker, who both felt the benefit of Dave's playing in their touring bands. It was Dave's big sister, the late Jo-Ann Kelly, who first opened his ears to the blues, although his passion for rock and roll - and especially the work of Buddy Holly - remains intact. In 1967 he joined The John Dummer Blues Band. After three albums and a solo project he continued to polish his style and technique throughout an adventurous career with some of Britain's finest players. When The Blues Band was formed in 1979, the post of slide guitarist and joint vocalist was a foregone conclusion - and bringing his friend, the bassist Gary Fletcher, along to that first rehearsal, was a bonus. Dave Kelly's guitar and vocals form the very backbone of The Blues Band's distinctive sound. The Blues Band is still one of Britain´s best Blues Band and set up high standards. Today, after 35 years 'treading the boards' with the band, with his solo albums, duo tours with Paul Jones, and soundtrack work (for commercials and such projects as BBC TV's 'King of the Ghetto' and the Comic Strip's 'Strike!') Dave Kelly is firmly established as Europe's premier blues performer.

DAVE KELLY Family & Friends "We Had It All" are 18 unreleased tracks from his musical journey covers over 35 years in the business and feat. Names like ERIC BIBB, CHRIS BARBER, MAGGIE BELL, LONG JOHN BALDRY, CHRISTINE COLLISTER and many more.
