Sad Situation

08 Blue Feeling

This album was a riot to make and a dream come true as far as flirting with that vintage New Orleans sound. There is something magic about a tuba or clarinet that can transport you right to the French Quarter in the Big Easy. Vintage compressors and ribbon microphones help make the recording more authentic without a doubt. Modern miking techniques like close miking all the drums is not what I was going for on this recording. We used old style recording technics for a more traditional sound. This record is not just one style of blues but a few different classic styles. One common thread is the old time instruments throughout this new record. Fiddle, banjo, washboard, Weissenborn, lap steel and old fashioned hand claps all add to the old school vibe. Getting to record with veteran musicians who have been in the business much longer than I have been was also a treat and major learning experience for me. A lot of these gentlemen have been in the business since the 50’s and some of them are in their late 80’s now, but you’d never know it with the amazing contributions they make to this new album. This record touches a bunch of topics from, lost love, positive thinking, humorous themes, spirituals, and down right down and out subject matter. I’m very proud of the writing on this record and put a lot of time working and reworking the lyrics till they were just right. I wrote the title track (One Step Closer) for my aunt who was sick, and I got to sing it to her in hospice, so It really means a lot to me. I also like the topic of looking on the bright side and have a couple songs like (All You Got To Do) and (Walkin’ In The Sunshine). There are a couple cheeky songs on this newest project that will make you blush and giggle at the same time like (Do What You Did Last Night) or (Just What I’m Talking About). I wrote (Just What I’m Talking About) with Bessie Smith in mind. I never like to do the same thing over and over and always try to find new sounds and styles of the blues. Ive been to New Orleans many times and the music, art and culture have had a profound effect on me and my music.

Album: Problem & Remedy | Listen & Download - https://dustradio1.bandcamp.com/album/problem-remedy | Lyrics: 
I got no more trouble from you
Done all the bad days I’m gonna do
I got no more trouble from you
Done all the bad days I’m gonna do
And if I never make it back home no more
May the long nights help you through

Tried to keep you by my side
Working my bones all day
That ring slipped from your finger too many times
Till I finally gone and lost my way
I got no more trouble from you
Done all the bad days I’m gonna do
And if I never make it back home no more
May the long nights help you through

Used to think the sun walked beside you
Shows just how little I know
Gave up guessing why people do what they do
A long time ago

I got no more trouble from you
Done all the bad days I’m gonna do
And if I never make it back home no more
May the long nights help you through

“High-octane music delivered with passion – a formidable band” Bernard Doherty (Planet Rock, Blues Power Show) 

Formed during the global pandemic of 2020, Dust Radio are a rootsy, blues-driven duo, comprising of Paddy Wells on Harmonica and Tom Jackson on Guitar.  This band have already attracted the attention from the UK Blues scene. Heavily shaped by the blues masters of the past, their style is steeped in the sound of Southern blues, with traces of Americana and contemporary rock ‘n’ roll.

‘Problem & Remedy’ consistently serves the song with subtle dynamics that leave plenty of space. They let a lyric breath via delicate tones, undulating melodies and enveloping grooves, while reshaping their own brand of noir filled down-home blues and Americana.

And in Paddy Wells they have a harp playing lyricist with the technique and feel to bend his notes and fully realise melodic possibilities.

They have been described as “raw and rootsy blues” and like Moreland & Arbuckle before them, they focus primarily on story telling narratives.  However, unlike the latter they never stray too far from interwoven musical patterns that eschew relentless boogie or heavy riff led bluster.

Their use of eclectic wordplays and phrases, steely riffs and deep grooves operates in the same way a painter might apply different pressures to their brush strokes in creating their art. -

Dust Radio - No More Trouble

Album: The Originals |  https://www.reverbnation.com/victorla... 
Established about eight years ago and led by Lawson, the tight three-man band take their name from the song, “Boogie Chillen,’” which was made famous by late Delta blues icon, John Lee Hooker.

“We play a lot of blues,” said Lawson, befitting his band’s name. “But at a lot of the places we play we have to play classic rock and country, too, so people can dance.”

Despite his love of original music, Lawson allows that he and Boogie Chillen may summon no more than a trio of originals during any given performance.

“We do one called ‘Hammer,’ which is a blues-based rock song,” Lawson said. “We have one called ‘Back to Alabama,’ which I play with a slide guitar. Mostly wherever we play we’re expected to play covers, but every now and then we’ll throw an original into the show.”

Now, Lawson certainly neither qualifies nor touts himself as a long-suffering Delta blues musician a la John Lee Hooker or Robert Johnson. He’s an art teacher at Richlands Middle School.

However, he plays a wicked Fender Stratocaster, with which he rocks from a base forged in the blues. Include him more within the school of blues in terms of style that yielded Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jonny Lang than Muddy Waters and Elmore James.

“It’s definitely more of a blues-based sound,” Lawson said. “Even when we play classic rock or country, you’ll hear that blues influence. One of my favorites was Stevie Ray Vaughan, but I love the old guys like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, too.”

Fittingly, Lawson and Boogie Chillen band mates Don Armstrong (bass) and Andrew Brown (drums) are apt to summon such blues staples as the Willie Dixon-written, Muddy Waters-performed “Hoochie Coochie Man.” Listen for Elmore James’ “Shake Your Moneymaker” alongside Vaughan’s “Texas Flood” and “Pride and Joy.”

“We do quite a bit of ZZ Top and Jimi Hendrix,” Lawson said. “I like to do things that nobody else does.”

As such, Lawson prefers to apply his own stamp upon tunes obscure and otherwise.

“We kind of make them our own,” Lawson said. “I never really play anything exactly like the records. Then I never play it the same way twice. We just take the music and go with it.”
