The Black Keys- El Camino ALBUM REVIEW
Listen: http://theneedledrop.com/2011/10/the-black-keys-lonely-boy/
On their latest album, the Black Keys stick to their guns, which is probably going to be a plus for hardcore fans. Unfortunately, seven albums in, it just feels a little formulaic, in my opinion.
What do you think of this album? Love it? Hate it? Why? What should I review next, eh ?

John Nemeth Song #2 – Salmon Arm’s Roots & Blues Festival
John Németh is a rising star – a singer steeped in the blues tradition reminiscent of B.B. King, Ray Charles and Junior Parker. With origins that are an unlikely breeding ground for such an impressive blues talent, this Boise, Idaho native grew up singing in the Catholic Church. “I’ve been singing all my life,” he says. From the day I was born, I’ve been screamin’, singin’, hollerin’, and cryin’. I guess it’s my only reason for existence.”
When he was fourteen, John discovered the blues. “Junior Wells was the artist that hooked me. He was funky like James Brown and lowdown like Muddy Waters.” A bright new talent on the blues scene, John began playing with the Junior Watson Band in 2002, as well as gigging with his own band, the Jacks. In 2004, he recorded “Come And Get It” with Junior’s band, an album that received rave reviews and scored well on independent blues radio charts.
A vocalist with great range, ability, and soulfulness, John also developed into a top-notch blues harmonica player. At a performance in 2006, label head Jerry Del Giudice was so impressed, he signed John to a multi-recording deal with Blind Pig Records. “In our nearly thirty years in the business,” Del Giudice said, “we have never before offered a new artist a recording contract on the strength of one performance.”
The buzz around John Németh is substantial. The Cascade Blues Association selected him as “crowd favorite” at the 2002 Portland Waterfront Blues Festival, and the Washington Blues Society named him the “show stealer” at the 2003 Winthrop Rhythm and Blues Festival. John’s decade long career has found him opening for Robert Cray, Keb Mo’, and Earl Thomas, and performing major festivals around the US, Europe, Canada and Asia.
His uncanny blend of retro-modern blues and soul prove John is a natural-born bluesman with every note he sings, shaping each one with emotion, taste and inspiration. With his pleasingly gruff soul vocals and searing harmonica, this supremely versatile performer has made true believers of some of the biggest names in the business. A 2010 Blues Music Award nomination for Contemporary Blues Male Artist of the Year is the latest nod to come his way, so be sure to catch John Németh now so you can say you saw him in the early years of his soon-to-be giant career!

AMERICAN FOLK BLUES FESTIVAL 1962-1969
A mini-feature (running time 6:30) about an annual event that featured the cream of American blues musicians barnstorming their way across Western Europe every Fall from 1962 through 1966. These historic and unseen performances filmed with superb camera work and pristine sound, the festivals featured a dazzling array of talent that included such greats as Howlin Wolf, Willie Dixon, and playing alongside other legends such as T-Bone Walker, Lightnin Hopkins, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Memphis Slim and Big Mama Thornton to create the most significant group of blues artists ever assembled!
Unearthed some 40 years after the fact, our production takes the viewer through an extraordinary lineup of bluesmen and women. Thanks to a couple of young promoters who brought the musicians to Europe–where they were treated with a good deal more respect and dignity than in America– Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Sippie Wallace… the list goes on. Their concert performances (several in stagy but effective down-home settings) before a rather formal but appreciative German audience have them playing in some cool combinations (T-Bone Walker backing Memphis Slim, Otis Rush with Junior Wells), introducing one another (Williamson on guitarist Lonnie Johnson, an elder statesman on the tour: “A very nice musician”)–and all with great sound (mono, but still flawless) and visuals (in black and white). This is one for blues fans to treasure.
