The Best and worst of 2003 (so far...)So Far 2003 has held a few surprises for us here in the south.. Last years best band has Broken up (much to our disappointment) and new clubs and faces were popping up everywhere! So after lots of revues and consideration... Here they are, The picks of 2003:
|
Best Live Band
We give this to "Legends of the Blues" this year for a superb live act. A+ for entertainment. The band consists of Jerry Lee Bean (vocals) Robert Gordon (drums)Barney "T-Bird" Harris (guitar) Thomas Kelly (bass) and Shelia Thorn (keyboards). The Band plays a good set of dancable blues tunes and is carried in the most part by guitarist Barney "T-Bird" Harris. T-Bird a former member of "The House Rockers" hails from California where he has led many acts on the big stage. His guitar style is gutsy and entertaining and combined with decent vocals from Bean the show is worth watching. he came in a close second on our guitarist of the year poll (-see article "Bad Bad Brothers") The vocals are decently carried out by bead, a former gospel singer and Gordon keeps 'em dancing with a groovin beat.... -Our rating : ***** check 'em out! |
Best Guitar Player
This one goes to the other brother in the Harris family (maybe its in the genes..)Jeff Harris. Former leader of the Voxtones, Harris is a real crowd pleaser whenever he is on stage. Appearing on numerous albums and always entertaining, his unpredictable playing style hails from (as he put it) "Stealing whatever I could from my big brother". Currently working on a new album, Jeff can be heard on mp3radio with several different bands (our personal fave is a bit of wierdness called "Inhalt:man" -check it out) (For more on Jeff, see "the article "Bad Bad Brothers") |
The Worst of 2003
Sorry Terry - You Suck Whatever happened to Terry Bean? Once a great live show with decent music has degenerated to what some club patrons have referred to as "damn noise" lo how the mighty have fallen.. The only thing that seems to have remained constant, is his ego our rating: 1/2* dont bother no photo available.. |
