|
|
ZAC HARMON
“RIGHT MAN
RIGHT NOW”
Zac Harmon is an award-winning guitarist, organist, singer, and songwriter
whose distinctive style combines the best of old-school soul-blues artists
with modern lyrics and themes that bring the blues into a new century.
|
Right Man Right Now is contemporary
music that proves just how alive and relevant the blues is today.
Addressing issues straight from today’s headlines, Zac presents them in
a fresh original style built on the best blues tradition. And he
has some incredibly talented musicians helping him – guests include Bobby
Rush, Lucky Peterson, Anson Funderburgh and Mike Finnegan.
After a very successful twenty-plus year career as a songwriter and producer
in Los Angeles, where he worked with the likes of the O’Jays, the Whispers,
Evelyn “Champagne” King, Black Uhuru, and Michael Jackson, Zac
moved to Dallas to pursue his dream of becoming a top-flight touring blues
artist
The album provides definitive proof that
Zac Harmon is indeed the right man to firmly establish all that blues can and
should be right now in the second decade of the new millennium.
CDs available at fine
shops everywhere – support your local record store! CDs and downloads
are also available from Amazon. And you
can get downloads from this and other fine Blind Pig recordings at the Pig

ANDY T – NICK NIXON
BAND
“NUMBERS
MAN”
The Andy T-Nick Nixon Band displays musicianship at its highest. The blues
has a history of great partnerships, and Numbers
Man offers proof positive that Andy T and Nick Nixon belong in
that select group.
|
|
Andy T’s jazz-tinged guitar style is influenced by T-Bone Walker, B.B. King,
Magic Sam, and Albert Collins among others, yet it remains his own. The
velvet-voiced Nixon, part of Nashville’s thriving blues and R&B scene in
the 60’s and 70’s, sings in a style that recalls Jimmy Witherspoon and Billy
Eckstine. Even though he’s now in his 70’s, Nixon’s voice still has all the
power and energy of a man half his age and it’s crystal clear that this man
was born to sing the blues.
Combined with Andy T’s bold, vibrant tones and equally rooted guitar style,
it makes for a uniquely satisfying brand of soulful blues. Numbers Man was produced
by renowned Texas guitarist Anson Funderburgh, and features the great Kim
Wilson’s harmonica on one of the tracks.
CDs available at fine
shops everywhere – support your local record store! CDs and downloads
are also available from Amazon. And you
