I've been listening to a new album of music by Gary Primich that will be released on April 17, 2012. To celebrate the release of this new cd, a number of special events are planned in Austin including appearances by many of Gary's musical friends as well as a screening of the harmonica film Pocket Full Of Soul. This new double Cd package includes a 10 page booklet as a great package of blues music featuring over 20 songs some which have not previously released and others which were previously featured on recordings such as Travelin' Mood, Mr. Freeze, Doghouse Music, Riding The Darkhorse as well as Omar and the Howlers recordings, Muddy Springs Road, Swingland and World Wide Open. The cd features such musicians as Gary Clark, Jr., Derek O'Brein, Sarah Brown, Wes Starr, Mark Korpi, Dave Biller, Jay Moehler, Nick Connolly, George Rains, Mark Rubin, Billy Horton and of course Omar Kent Dykes. When you review a cd that has so many fine tracks it becomes exceedingly difficult to describe the high points as the recording is just great throughout. The cd opener , Satellite Rock is a real screamer absolutely showcasing Primich's energy on harp. Hot!! Sweet Fine Angel not only features Primich but some stellar guitar work. September Song, though really a jazz classic, has a really clean and soulful sound to it. Nice that it has been included. School Of Hard Knocks is again a jazzy T-Bone style blues and it gives the band a bit of time to stretch their chops. On Disc 2 I particularly like the harp tones that Primich blows on Mr. Freeze. One Room Country Shack, possibly my favorite track on the set, features Dykes on guitar and vocals. It's a cool slow blues and they are digging deep on this one. Down in Mississippi is a little blues jam featuring just Dykes and Primich together and it's a great simple blues track. The set wraps up with another jazz tune, Indiana showing Primich's versatility as a musician and interpreter. I think that this recording will be widely successful.
