The first review is in from Blues & Co. in France!
“Live Blues On Whyte”
Winning The International Blues Challenge in Memphis in 2007 out of 165 groups is what made it possible for The Sean Carney Band to begin an international career, spring 2009 will see already his fourth Européan tour. Two weeks after their victory of this presitgious trophy Sean and faithful beater Eric Blume travel across the United States to play Edmonton (Alberta) in the Canadian province where this album was recorded. For the occasion our two accomplices are called upon in high level local musicians: Chris Bizezicki on the upright bass and Graham Guest on piano and organ to enrich the sound. This 12 song live program starts strong with the traditional “It’s My Life, Baby” popularized by Johnny Winter, another classic, “Call My Job” (Son Seals), “Too Many Cooks” (this version more interesting than that of Robert Cray) the remainder being their own compositions “Why Do You Lie," “Life Of Ease” are played with incredible feeling as well on the level of the voice as of the guitar, “What Can I Say," “Bad Side Baby” close this superb CD which shows us an artist displaying much personality and rare finesse. 52 minutes of pure happiness!!! My preferred CD of the quarter. The Sean Carney Band will make some dates in France in April. Miss it not!
