Dear Dan
Thanks for your very enjoyable CD that
just came to the top of the bin.
This was a nice surprise; it was
performed with very good taste and real
reverence for the original songs, but
without slavish imitation. The recording
quality was very warm and ambient, and
the playing had a strong ensemble feel
and a lot of love.
You play with real attention to tone, and
you play just enough, not too
much. That`s true for the other musicians
as well. Your vocals are a bit spotty; I
can hear your accent from time to time,
but you sing the meaning of the words in
a very unaffected and warm style.
I particularly liked wee wee Baby, My
Baby`s Comin`Back and Jealous Woman, but
the whole album is something you should
be very proud of. Thanks for sharing the
good music with me.
Best
Bruce Iglauer |

Dear
Dan,
I received your CD and thank you very
much. It really sounded good and was well
produced. This was evident throughout the
whole CD.
I think the music was very true to the
blues.
You have a good voice for this. I would
like to hear some original tunes from you
on your next CD!
The package looks like you really took
your time and did a very fine job in the
total production of this CD. It is not an
easy task i know this because I just
produced a CD for this brass band I play
in,
The Storyville Stompers, and it isn`t
easy. It is very time consuming, but when
they come like yours did it is well worth
it.
I was glad to see Fessor and Hans on the
CD. Of course I am going to saythe horns
sound good and really add to the sound.
I like Fessors thing on `My Baby`s
Comin`Back.`
Trombone solos are always good though I
am a little biased toward thetrombone.
Congratulations on such a fine CD and I
wish you all kinds of success with it.
When I come back to Copenhagen we should
get together and play some.
Sincerely,
Craig |
