Don Kesson is a Glasgow based folk/country singer, who has recently completed ‘Drinking with the Angels’, his first solo album of original songs written by Charlie Sharkey since splitting with his previous Covers band, ‘The Plank Spankers’. Over the years, Don has built up a following of dedicated fans with his laid back style of performing and eclectic range of songs. He has played all over the country at various venues and festivals, and is a well know figure around the Glasgow’s folk scene. Due to constant requests from members of his audience, he has decided to record this CD of new material. 

"Vocalist Solitaire Miles comes out of the Patsy Cline tradition. She sings Western swing material with warm highs and holds her lows neatly. There's a jazziness about Miles's phrasing, but she holds fast to a sound reminiscent of roadside bars where just three people are left near closing at the pinball machine. Solid accompaniment by jazz-influenced sax, fiddle, guitar, slide guitar, piano, bass and drums.  I'm a Fool to Care says it all.  Same goes for I'll Never Be Free."  Wall Street Journal
 
"Susie Blue and the Lonesome Fellas includes some of Chicago's best Jazz and Country players.  The group is pure Cowboy Jazz, and Miles adds a lively vocal style that brings to mind a winning blend of Patsy Cline and Billie Holiday. " - Downbeat Magazine
​
"Savvy souls know there's a big difference between Country music and Western music. Western Swing band Susie Blue and the Lonesome Fellas were rightfully  honored in Fort Worth at the Academy of Western Artists' 20th annual Will Rogers Awards for 'Best Western Swing Song'" - Billboard Magazine
 
"Susie Blue and the Lonesome Fellas is a new album of Western Swing which  is popular with many folks,  and I do think this group does it very well,  it's a lovely album." -Marie Crichton BBC Radio
 

"You can't listen to western swing and not smile, it's impossible not to smile, it's feel good music.  Her voice is wonderful, what an instrument." - Michael Feldman, NPR

 

"Solitaire Miles may be best known for jazz, but the vocalist is on a new adventure involving Western Swing leading Susie Blue and the Lonesome Fellas.  The Academy of Western Artists awarded the band with Western swing song of the year. " 

- Jessi Virtusio, Chicago Tribune

 

"In her home base of Chicago Solitaire Miles boasts an avid following as a singer equally at home with jazz and swing. Given that combination of styles, it’s no surprise—but an unexpected delight—to hear what she can do with western swing, which is not all that far removed from what she has been doing for years now. In her guise as Susie Blue, with her band (many of them her regular bandmates) billed as The Lonesome Fellas, she deploys her warm, sultry voice on choice material, strictly top drawer fare, from some of the most important songwriters in western swing history..."  David McGee, Deep Roots Magazine
