Blues Wednesday – Jason Ricci – Done with the Devil
So tonight I was checking out the artist page at Delta Groove Records and came across an artist that I hadn’t heard before Jason Ricci and New Blood
Hum, silly me! I checked out their most recent album Done with the Devil and after the title track which is the opener I knew this was a blues rock album for me and that Jason was a damn good harmonica player. A trip to his website told me that in 2009 Ricci and company picked up their second nomination for “Band of the Year” by Blues Wax Magazine. (They were also nominated in 2007). Jason won The Blues Critic’s award for “Harmonica Player of the Year”, and received a literary award for ”Article of the Year” from Blues Wax Magazine. Ricci was also nominated for the first time for the B.M.A. (Formerly Handy) Award for “Best Instrumentalist”: Harmonica.
