Equal parts album, equal parts narrative, Michael Packer’s I Am the Blues is a change of pace in the way people listen to music.

The moment eyes stop on it’s artwork, a vibe is created to give the sense that this is no ordinary album…
From great tragedy after a lifelong bond comes Ken DeRouchie’s latest accomplishment.
Pick this up as soon as you can get your hands on it! This is a delightfully sophisticated, rocking, funky, 55 minute smorgasbord of sound that will be schooling folks for years to come.
Bobby Messano’s “Welcome To Deltaville” (with Denna Bogart), is his latest effort, issued by The Prince Frog Record Company. At just a hair under 60 minutes, this album is like a well stocked pantry that we have been raiding since it arrived.
This entire album is a great listen; because the recording and mix is so well executed, the presentation of the performances is elegant, rich, clear, and has a lot of depth! Everyone is at the top of their game here.
Song number one is called “Miles To Go” it is as rocking as they come these days while still staying under the blues umbrella.
If this is what blues is like in Israel, we want more! This is a solid album that is full of texture, soul, and righteous blues. Bring this album home today, throw on a good set of headphones, and get lost in it. You won’t regret it.
