Blues Wednesday – Blue Bella Records
So this Blues Wednesday, I didn’t start by checking any charts. I thought that since I had good luck last week with Blue Bella Records I’d just check and see what other bands are on their label with new albums out! What I found were two names first Matthew Stubbs and second The Cash Box Kings. So when I got to work and started work and listening I started with The Cash Box Kings album I-94 Blues. I listened to the first track “Default Boogie” a little boogie number about the current economic conditions! It sounded great but not a good sound for doing writing, which is what I was doing so I tried the other name Matthew Stubbs and his album Medford and Main. This album was great for writing since it was an instrumental album! According to his website Stubbs plays soul drenched roots and blues guitar instrumentals. Stubbs is a great guitarist who currently plays with the legendary Charlie Musselwhite Band, as well as his own band, The Matthew Stubbs Band. He was named 2009 Outstanding Guitarist from Blues Audience Magazine and was a 2009 Boston Music Award Nominee for Blues Act of the Year. I listened for a little while liked what I heard and this will definitely be a listen while you work CD!
