ALASTAIR GREENETHE NEW WORLD BLUES

H NEW ALBUM H

Produced by Tab Benoit for WHISKEY BAYOU RECORDS

Available October 23, 2020

“Fronting a power blues-rock trio, guitarist Alastair Greene breathes in sulfuric fumes and exhales blazing fire.” - Frank John Hadley, Downbeat Magazine

“Greene is a no frills rock vocalist. His fiery solos prove him a premier shredder who will appeal to fans of Walter Trout, Joe Bonamassa,

and Albert Castiglia.” - Thomas J Cullen III, Blues Music Magazine

“On THE NEW WORLD BLUES, Alastair makes it clear why he is a ‘guitar player’s guitar player,’ and this recording will surely leave the Alastair

Greene stamp on the Blues Rock World.” - Rueben Williams, Thunderbird Management, Whiskey Bayou Records

In 2005 while working in the magazine subscription sales industry as a Director of Sales and based in Kansas City, MO. my favorite blues club was the Grand Emporium. 2006

would be thirty years in the magazine business and my plan was to return to California that year and slowly work towards winding down my career to leave the magazine business in 2009. After leaving that business the plan was to travel the world and teach english as a second language by day and play poker at night. Poker has been a passion since 1980. More for the skills needed to be successful, then the gambling aspect. Living for several months in such exotic locations such a Macau, Hong Kong, France, South America, Austrailia, and Italy. This was a good plan and would have been a good way to enjoy the rest of my life and soothe the gypsy in me, but then I boarded the January 2005 Blues Cruise and the path changed. One week later leaving the blues cruise my future plans changed and a new life mission emerged. To help blues musicians, blues music, and the blues community however possible, so the music that has moved me my entire life might continues to evolve and exist. Let's Go Bluesin'!

Greetings to our Bluesin' Family,

The musicians of the world, along with the live venues, the service, travel, and tourism industries, and so many millions of others have had their lives turned

upside down since March 2020. Originally scheduled to sail out of Port Everglades this past Sunday on the Holland America Eurodam, we have now rescheduled for LRBC #35 October 24-31, 2021 and can't wait to be back at sea together! To stay connected with our cruiser family, we've teamed up with our fantastic musicians to present: Dry Docked & Landlocked - a Virtual Cruise for the week of October 25-31, starting at 5:00pm CST daily via LRBC Facebook Live, and LRBC Youtube. These daily videos will also be available on the LRBC YouTube page to be viewed at your convenience. We have reached out to the musicians and staff across the globe who will be sharing greetings and well wishes from their homes. We will be featuring videos throughout the week of their living room performances, previous LRBC performances, and various activities onboard the cruises. Legendary invites you to jump on and participate in these Live Streams!

See you soon, stay safe everyone!Roger & the Legendary Krewe

“Somewhere between soul, blues, and the early years of rock, John straddles the divide with a wonderful sense of style!” -New England Blues Review

"I wish you all the greatest of health during these di�cult times. I hope this new album brings you

excitement and joy! I had a ball writing and recording it and feel so grateful to have the

opportunity to share new music with you. Please be careful and be well ... I look forward to the day

when I can see you all at a live show! Thank you for your support.” - John Németh

C D R E V I E WNEW MOON JELLY ROLL FREEDOM ROCKERSNew Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers, Vol. 1Stony Plain

The eight artists on this album are cross-generational. They represent two races,

and resumes that legitimatize each one’s right to be called a legacy act. Two of them, Charlie Musselwhite and Jimbo Mathis, contribute original songs. Others are featured in numbers that range from Alvin Youngblood Hart’s take on music spanning almost a century in origin from his reconstruction of the Hendrix rocker “Stone Free” to revamping Charlie Patton’s “Pony Blues” and The Mississippi Sheiks’ “Stop And Listen Blues.”

Luther and Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars perform with their late dad Jim Dickinson on Wilbert Harrison’s “Let’s Work Together” and “Come On Down To My House.” As varied as these artists are, they all reach deep within to activate their muse. And each has a deep love, understanding, and the expertise to deliver unique takes on these songs. Musselwhite opens the CD with an original “Blues, Why Worry Me,” is featured on another original, “Strange Land” he wrote when he was 18 trying to feel his way around Chicago, and a cover of the Memphis Jug Band’s “K.C. Moan.” Nowhere does it say this, but I’d be willing to bet most of these recordings were captured in one take. Recorded in 2007 at the late Jim Dickinson’s Zebra Ranch Studio in Independence, Mississippi, the ten numbers feature the musicians gathered in a circle vamping off each other while the tape ran. Spontaneity and pure love of the process dominate. Cody Dickinson is quoted on the cover: “I hope the love in the room can be heard in the music. This record was truly a joy to make.” Spontaneity has always been an important measure of great blues but an elusive one as recording techniques make perfection the imperfect descendent of music born at early 20th century Saturday night fish fries. These guys make it sound easy again. The name of the group is a collective effort that proves these guys are better at playing than labeling. Volume 2 is due for release in the spring of 2021.– Don Wilcock

“Bette is the swaggering proof that there is nothing dated about soulful rock and roll sung with attitude, defiance, and a take-no-prisoners aesthetic.“

- American Songwriter

“Bette is capable of breaking off a high note with a throaty cry or scraping so low and wide that she threatens to put her bass player out of work.“

- Billboard

“I think we caught lightning in a bottle with this snapshot of these difficult times and it is possibly my best record of my career, born from the most challenging time in my life as a musician.“

- Jeremiah Johnson

“The record puts Johnson’s love for old-school songcraft at the center of the action and contains a seemingly endless series of memorable tracks, which are enhanced by his considerable vocal and instrumental skills“
