notes

ONE OF THE TOP BLUES ROCK BANDS IN CHICAGO 2002 - 2007

The tracks on this recording display the band's self proclaimed "HOT RODDIN' ROCK N' BLUES" style of music that is bursting with high octane energy and fuel injected fun. The life force projecting from the audience into the band is almost visible, you can hear and feel the crowd. This powerhouse band of Chicago based musicians features soulful vocals, harmonica, rippin' blues guitar, a dynamic rhythm section and a classic B3 Hammond organ with Leslie speaker cabinet tone. Collectively the band creates an exciting live show and a sound that is spontaneous, raw and improvisational.

This CD was released to promote The Rabble Rousers appearance at the 21st Annual Chicago Blues Festival, the largest free blues festival in the world. It is the bands first official release. It was followed by a live recording Fan Club CD limited release of 7 all original songs titled, "Hot Rod Club - The Originals".

2007 CD REVIEW:

If you are looking for hot, driving blues then the Rabble Rousers are the band for you! They are one of the hottest acts out of Chicago right now. Their Live in Chicago CD is a super set of a dozen tunes, half covers and half originals. I enjoyed this CD thoroughly because of the great energy they put into their music and the talent they display in each tune. 12 live tracks including 2 alternative mixed bonus tracks make up this set of tunes from the Chicago based Rabble Rousers.

The covers “Messin’ With the Kid”, “Woke Up This Morning”, “Teenie Weenie Bit”, “Blues at Sunrise” and “My Bleeding Heart” are all great. But what makes this CD even better is the original material written by band founder and lead singer aka Rabble. “Travelin’ Blues”, my favorite number, track 2 and “Got Me a Ticket”, track 3 display what the band can do with both fast and slow blues. The guitar and keyboards are impeccable throughout, but these two tracks just seem to demonstrate everything that this band is about. The sizzling guitar and B3 organ with soulful vocals and the backdrop bass work are all great. From the opener “Messin’ With the Kid” to the closing original tune “Cause I Think I’m Going Down” we have a finely crafted blues album that fans will really enjoy. I recommend you sample the band’s work on the CD, plus the disc packaging is great. You can do that via the net, but the best way to see the band is live at the show! You won’t regret it!

SONGS:

The slow burner "Got Me A Ticket" and the funky, R&B inspired "Love Reaction" are two of the bands most popular songs!

This CD also features some of the bands favorite blues standards, "Blues At Sunrise", "Woke Up This Morning", "Messin' With The Kid" and a blistering version of "Rock Me Baby"!

"Cold Wind Blowin'" is a great example of the bands improvisational blues rock style. It has won numerous song writing awards!

"Travelin' Blues" was also released as a single on the BEST BUY Blues Sampler CD, "We're Happy To Bring You The Blues". It features full on slide guitar playing and charted in the TOP 50 on iSound.com!
