I hadn't planned to do any shameless promotion, but if I don't you may never know about "She Knocks Me Out", my CD debut at 72, released last November. Fifteen original blues. Check out the website - lots of great players.

Airplay on over 150 radio stations worldwide, 1/2 dozen internet radio stations, and seven very nice print reviews.
"Your harp playing is tasty, and you obviously put a lot of thought and care into the lyrics. You have a good grasp of that jump/blues hybrid genre." ~ Rick Estrin

Having heard this album, I can attest that it is a great addition to the genre. Kevin has written 15 fantastic original blues songs that fit neatly into the blues tradition. There's a James Cotton Rocket 88 style song, there's a Junior Wells style Green Onions, a stripped down Sonny 2 song with a low F, there's an uptempo swing... I love hearing how Kevin can distill the essence of these great players with just a few bars, but still put his original spin on things.
They're all original and the musicianship is top notch, using the best guys from the S.F. Bay Area. Bob Welsh, Johnny Cat Soubrand, Jed Beyer, Robi Bean... all guys that you probably know as excellent musicians (or you will, after hearing this).
As blues players, we tend to recycle the same material over and over, ad nauseum. This album is 100% original and comes from Kevin's heart. I really recommend this album. Jump on the link for some audio samples.

Thank you!
Micro - for your extremely kind words!
Evets - for putting sales one notch closer to platinum - okay, there’s a few more 0’s in platinum than in 100, but I’m so glad you liked it & bought one!

Been lovin stand-up base and baritone sax since 1954.
This CD is just too cool, daddy-o.
Takes me back to the days when I could tap more than just my toes.
