Still more great new music : Dr. Duke Tumatoe, Deanna Bogart, & new Blind Pig compilation

Hi Ho & Salutations TMB Fans !

Wow...still more great new Music, this week I received new releases from Blind Pig. Two new CDs, "You Got The Problem" from Dr. Duke Tumatoe and "Real Time" by Deanna Bogart.

Dr. Duke's collection of original tunes is just a good time. The impishly clever & good-natured lyrical mischief combined with excellent music talents have made this CD not only fun but a solid Blues release. I didn't expect to like it but more than changed my mind while listening to the CD in my "mobile reviewing studio" (i.e. my car). Dr. Duke is about great music with a smile.

Deanna Bogart's "Real Time" could not have come at a better time. I have been anxious to hear and play some new Blues accented heavily by excellent keyboards and vocals. Bogart's "Real Time" does exactly that and more by adding her excellent saxophone skills to a great mix of tracks from country-western to an R&B-esque duet to great barrelhouse piano blues along with strong vocals with those jazzy undertones I love. Eight original Bogart tunes, vocal & instrumental tracks, I love the breadth and talent. Deanna Bogart has been solidly and immediately inducted into the TMB's "Women Who Sing the Blues" playlist. I just hope Ms. Bogart is as excited about that as I am and one of her newest fans.

Just to make things even more interesting, Blind Pig has just released its 30th Anniversary Collection compilation, a two CD with a bonus DVD set. I am a big fan of compilations. It is a great way to economically sample a large variety of artists and styles. Blind Pig does not skimp on this compilation.

Count on more than a couple of tracks for each of these two CDs on tomorrow's show. As per TMB tradition, if you want to hear some additional tracks from these two CDs or another other of the new CDs we have received at the station, just call or IM at the studio during the broadcast. I will do my best. AOL/AIM screen name : WWPV887 or call me at 802-654-2887

If you hear of some new Blues talent in the great state of Vermont or New England. Please let me know. All of you know I am all about supporting and celebrating my friends & neighbors in the local Blues music scene.

Very Best Wishes,
