Voodoo Doll & Other Blues Lessons

This is the new blues. Not a bunch of whining and crying about some bad woman or horrible bad luck. This is pay back blues, tell the truth blues, get it out blues, stop the bs blues! Lyrics that mean something in today's life. We're not sharecroppers and we never picked cotton, but we are sick of politicians stealing us blind or the phonies that parade across the TV constantly. With that said, Voodoo Doll is an odyssey through modern blues, funk and rock with a killer group of top shelf pros testifying honest music. Most of the solos are live not over dubbed. The band recorded the tracks between performances so everything has the raw feel of a live concert. Today's working musicians don't have time to rehearse non-stop or sit in the studio to pasteurize the tunes into perfection. Every tune is rip roaring, all out slammin blues rock. We did use nine time grammy winning engineer Michael Bishop for recording and mastering, so the sound quality is unsurpassed. Influenced by Clapton, Hendrix, BB, Allman Bros., James Brown, and Tower of Power, the band is fun to listen to. The tunes are true progressive blues forms. Did you like Whippin Post and what the Allman Brothers were doing with the blues, this CD is that same creative pull on the the blues we all love. Still respecting the masters, and going forward with what they started. If you love wildly creative music with roots in blues and funk, you'll seriously dig Voodoo Doll and this powerhouse band.
