Silent Partners release Changing Times on Little Village

         As natural as a steady pulse, Silent Partners make their debut on the Little Village label with Changing Times, a 10-song collection of blues that never misses a beat.
         Members Tony Coleman (drums and vocals), Russell Jackson (bass) and Jonathan Ellison (guitar and vocals) bring all the knowledge and feel of five decades of experience to nine original blues and a cover of The Crusaders’s “Never Makes Your Move Too Soon.”
         Individually, the band members have resumes of band stints with B.B. King, Albert King, Bobby Blue Bland, Johnnie Taylor, Otis Clay, Denise LaSalle, Matt “Guitar” Murphy and a host of other blues heavyweights.
         The band’s secret ingredient is a keen feel for the rhythm of each song and the ability to play only the notes that need to be played. The opening track of the CD “Ain’t No Right Way To Do  Wrong” is a slow blues that never gets ahead of itself and slowly builds tension without restoring to the exaggerated dramatics of so many of today’s “blues” artists. 
         “I can feel it,” Coleman says of each song’s rhythm. “I hear the patterns and play to it.”
         It is a simple, straightforward musical attribute, yet also uncommon and unexpected.  Coleman, Jackson and Ellison share a camaraderie for the song, and celebrate each one by  playing just what is called for.
         For instance, on “Proving Ground,” Jackson lays down a plopping bass line over Coleman’s drumming and Ellison plays a solid rhythm guitar, adding impressive solo licks that make their statement and then disappear, leaving the rhythm to carry the song.  
        There also is punch from the Albert Collins-inspired stinging guitar licks on “Dancin’ Shoes” to Coleman’s pleading vocals on “Road To Love,” reminiscent of deep-soul singers James Carr and O.V. Wright taking you down a darkened hallway that only ends in heartbreak. 
          This CD shines on the soul of blues, a truly refreshing version of modern blues music.
           
Since 2015, the non-profit Little Village record label has been ferreting out the sounds of American roots music from communities throughout the nation. It produces albums in a wide swath of styles, believing that the music can speak to other cultures far from the small communities where it resides. It has produced four-dozen collections of gospel, blues, mariachi, cowboy, spoken-word, Mississippi Hill Country, steel-guitar workouts and soul music to introduce to new audiences.

Started off just DJing Hip Hop/Breaks/Battle Style, Drum n Bass & Dubstep. Then bought an MPC Studio controller n software bcuz i always wanted to make music. N i tried making dubstep n Drum n Bass but i could never get a nack for it. So i started messing around with hip hop style beats. N loved it. Love sampling old tunes that no one uses n jus creating melodys out of whatever instrument i choose n jus layering tracks together to make a solid beat. So if u like original underground style hip hop. Check my tracks out. Amd note that there not put together to rap over. there put together jus to listen to in ur whip or headphones or whatever n escape this mainstream world of garbage and biters. Please enjoy and share with the world.
