THE BIGGER PICTURE Kathy and the Kilowatts is led by Kathy Murray, who cut her teeth during the golden era of Austin's blues and R&B scene in the 1980s and early 90s, sharing the stage with the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Fabulous Thunderbirds and blues godfather W.C. Clark. Throughout her professional evolution, the blues has been the foundation of Murray's music and songwriting, but she's never been just a one-trick pony. "My sound encompasses the influences of all of Texas' rootsy regional music styles that I've been exposed to throughout my life: blues, swamp pop, rock, zydeco, soul, rockabilly and conjunto," she says. Murray's soulful, emphatic vocals have been described as "the love child of Jimmy Reed and Wanda Jackson." http://www.sonic.nl/sonic_nl/mailing/835upcsh.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOLAB 6 FRANK BEY BACK IN BUSINESS CD 11.2018 01.

BUILT FOR COMFORT Born in Gilmer, Texas in 1939, Benny Turner and his older brother, Freddie King, learned to play guitar from their mother, Ella Mae (King) Turner. Although best known for his role as bassist for the Freddie King band, he later played for Mighty Joe Young and then for Blues Queen of New Orleans Marva Wright. Turner's earliest musical endeavors include work as a recording artist for the M-Pac! and One-Derful! labels. He also appears on gospel recordings with The Kindly Shepherds and Otis Clay. He toured with Dee Clark and the Original Soul Stirrers. Turner's award-winning autobiography, Survivor-The Benny Turner Story, was published in 2017. A native of New Madrid, Missouri, Morris Dollison, Jr. was born in 1941 and is better known as Cash McCall, a name that has been renowned ever since his 1966 recording "When You Wake Up" became a national R&B hit. McCall was a Nashboro Records recording artist while a member of the Gospel Songbirds. He went on to record as a solo R&B artist for the Thomas, Checker, and Paula labels, and worked at One-derful! and Chess Records as a session musician and songwriter. Performing with Minnie Riperton, Etta James, Bo Diddley, and many more while living in Los Angeles, Cash was also a member of blues legend Willie Dixon's band, the All-Stars, and co-produced his Grammy Award -winning Hidden Charms album. http://www.sonic.nl/sonic_nl/mailing/908upcsh.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NB 008 TIFFANY POLLACK+ERIC JOHANSON : BLUES IN MY BLOOD CD 02.2018 888295865241 1 Blues In My Blood 2 Memories To Forget 3 Keep It Simple 4 Michael 5 Diamonds On The Crown 6 No Expectations 7 Do I Move You 8 Slave Of Tomorrow 9 Get Lost With Me 10 River 11 If I Had A Hammer --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NB 009 MEG WILLIAMS:TAKE ME AS I AM-THE MUSCLE SHOALS SESSIONS CD .2019 888295883498 1 Come On Over To Me 2 Tell Everybody 3 Shame 4 Little Bit Of The Devil 5 Played By The Blues 6 Sometimes I Need You Too 7 Take Me As I Am 8 What About Me? 9 Can't Keep Waiting On You 10 I Feel a Heartache Coming 11 Make A Move 12 Tale A Chance On My Love --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NB 010 FRANK BEY ALL MY DUES ARE PAID CD 01.2020 888295962933 1 Idle Hands 4:47 2 One Of These Days 4:12 3 Calling All Fools 3:54 4 It's A Pleasure 3:46 5 All My Dues Are Paid 4:12 6 He Stopped Loving Her Today 3:28 7 I Bet I Never Cross Your Mind 4:17 8 Never No More 3:00 9 Ha Ha In The Daytime 5:20 10 If It's Really Got To Be This Way 3:39 11 Perfect Day 3:56 12 One Thing Every Day 3:46 13 Imagine 6:39 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NB 011 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NB 012 ERIC JOHANSON BELOW SEA LEVEL CD 11.2020 01.

Though the maturity and dexterity of the orchestra members shone loud and clear on the group's first release, the sophomore effort refines and elevates the group's presentation, employing clarity and quality complementary to the veteran musicianship within Love Light's ranks. Tossing the songbook aside in favor of mostly original tunes, Love Light proves their staying power and reinforces an outlook pointed toward the future while honoring the context of their collective musical past https://www.sonic.nl/mailing/004upcsh.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NB 018 TRUDY LYNN GOLDEN GIRL CD 04.2022 01.

HEARTACHE IS A ONE WAY STREET 10. I JUST CAN'T SAY GOODBYE 11. LIFE GOES ON Born Lee Audrey Nelms in Houston's Fifth Ward, Trudy Lynn comes from a strong musical stock. The late Al "TNT" Braggs, one of Houston's most electrifying R&B vocalists and a prolific songwriter for Bobby "Blue" Bland, was her cousin. Growing up, she and her five siblings would gather on their big screened-in porch to sing in talent shows for the neighborhood kids. By high school, she took it to the next level as a member of the choirs and jazz groups, even joining Archie Bell as one of the Drells, back in '64 before they took off. It was Albert Collins who was the first to get her on the stage while still in high school, at Walter's Lounge on Lockwood. After singing 'A Change Is Gonna Come' and 'Money,' Lynn knew she had found her calling. In 1965 after graduating from high school, Lee Audrey went to Lufkin, Texas, north of Houston, for the summer. Her cousin took her out to a white venue, the Cinderella Club, where she made sure the club owner knew she could sing. When called upon to fill in for their regular singer, Lee Audrey needed a stage name. It was there that she saw the name 'Trudy' amidst the other writings on the wall and decided that's what she wanted to be called. Performers Gloria Lynne and Barbara Lynn also inspired her new name. https://www.sonic.nl/mailing/009upcsh.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NB 19 ANTHONY SHERROD & THE CORNLICKERS : RIGHT ON TIME CD 07.2022 01.

TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER International Touring Artist and multi-instrumentalist Anthony "Big A" Sherrod personifies the authentic delta blues legacy that is still heard today in his native Clarksdale, Mississippi. Introduced to music in the church, his father, E.J. Johnson, was a gospel singer that performed with The Golden Stars. By the age of 6, he began playing and hasn't stopped. As a student of the after-school program at the Delta Blues Museum, Sherrod studied with Johnnie Billington. As the godson of Big Jack Johnson, he learned all facets of his craft at the feet of a master. He has held standing gigs at all of the iconic Clarksdale venues, including Sarah's Kitchen, Red's Lounge and Ground Zero in addition to countless other performances throughout the region and beyond. Sherrod wrote the title track and appeared in the 2012 documentary, We Juke Up In Here, an inside look at what little still remains of the juke joint culture of the south. https://www.sonic.nl/mailing/017upcsh.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =======================================================================================
