Lucky Peterson • Double Dealin'

 

Review by Paula Edelstein
As one of the most versatile players in blues, Lucky Peterson ranks among the best of the best. His first release for the Blue Thumb label, Double Dealin' showcases the artist on 12 great songs soaked in the sentiments and emotions that characterize the blues style. Peterson plays the lead guitar, the Hammond B3, and sings his gut-wrenching blue notes with a great band that includes Johnny Lee Schell on rhythm guitar, Jon Cleary on keyboards, Reggie McBride on bass guitar, Tony Braunagel on drums and Tamara Peterson on background vocals. The Texacali Horns back the personnel with exceptional clarity using a serious combination of brass techniques. Peterson's use of an emotionally direct style is also rapidly establishing him as a great storyteller. "When My Blood Runs Cold," "4 Little Boys," and "Remember the Day" are among the themes he deals with from an original perspective and are among the standouts of the hard blues intonations. This CD is reflective of the successful urban blues techniques used on his previous efforts in that it specifically captures the essence of both the "chitlin circuit" and the electric blues associated with the Chicago style without compromising the traditional aspects of the blues form. A welcome addition to any blues collection.

Reseña de Paula Edelstein
Como uno de los músicos más versátiles del blues, Lucky Peterson se encuentra entre los mejores de los mejores. Su primer lanzamiento para el sello Blue Thumb, Double Dealin', muestra al artista en 12 grandes canciones empapadas de los sentimientos y emociones que caracterizan el estilo blues. Peterson toca la guitarra principal, la Hammond B3, y canta sus desgarradoras notas azules con una gran banda que incluye a Johnny Lee Schell a la guitarra rítmica, Jon Cleary a los teclados, Reggie McBride al bajo, Tony Braunagel a la batería y Tamara Peterson a los coros. Los cuernos Texacali respaldan al personal con una claridad excepcional utilizando una combinación seria de técnicas de latón. El uso de Peterson de un estilo emocionalmente directo también lo está estableciendo rápidamente como un gran narrador. "When My Blood Runs Cold", "4 Little Boys" y "Remember the Day" se encuentran entre los temas que trata desde una perspectiva original y se encuentran entre los más destacados de las entonaciones de blues duro. Este CD refleja las exitosas técnicas de blues urbano utilizadas en sus esfuerzos anteriores, ya que captura específicamente la esencia tanto del "circuito chitlin" como del blues eléctrico asociado con el estilo de Chicago sin comprometer los aspectos tradicionales de la forma del blues. Una adición bienvenida a cualquier colección de blues.
