About ERNIE SOUTHERN

BLUES BUNNY UK REVIEW 2009: Experience is no bad thing, and if his résumé is to be believed, then Florida-based blueser Ernie Southern must have some incredible stories to tell. A staunch advocate of and servant to the delta blues, "Every Day Is A Fight" sees Mr Southern bring a full-band sound to his blues stylings. Grab a bottle of beer and crank it up! The title track serves as a fine start to the album, with some fine mouth harp to be heard while Southern's National Resophonic guitar sounds wonderful on "I Wanna Kill Somebody". . Expect my death to be reported in the coming weeks… Later on, there's a wonderfully antiquated feel to "Someone With Brains" as that National Resophonic homes in on you. A somewhat straightforward track, it is nonetheless menacing, and once again highlights the blues harping of Pompano Pete De Stefano. Let's face it, with a name like that he had to be good. We are then treated to some slide guitar on "Island Earth", but that blues harp once again dominates the song. There's even a little humour on display as can be found on "Atheist Funeral" ("I don't want to go to heaven/cause it does sound like hell"). Just as day passes into night, this release has an agreeable order to it, right down to the fading slide guitar on "Blame It On The Moon". If you're not satisfied by the album's end, try loosening your collar a touch. While this album is a departure from the stripped-down blues heard on his last album, "Every Day Is A Fight" only further proves Southern's importance to modern blues. Highly recommended. Available fromCD Baby. Review by: Peter McGee ************************************************************* Ernie Southern & the Deltaholics "Every Day Is A Fight" BY PETER "BLEWZZMAN" LAURO, © September 2009 Florida's version of the Mississippi River is the Intracoastal Waterway. Similar to that muddy river that runs through the center of the country, the Intracoastal Waterway runs through many states as well. Just as the state of Mississippi comes to mind when you think of the mighty Mississippi, the state of Florida comes to mind when you think of the relaxing Intracoastal. Another similarity of sorts, is that many of the cites that border the Mississippi - Clarksdale, Tunica, Indianola, Vicksburg and Memphis, TN - just to name a few - are all great cities famous for their juke joints and their great delta blues men. On the other hand, cities along the Intracoastal - such as Hollywood, Ft. Lauderdale, Jupiter, Stuart, Sebastian, Melbourne and many more - all the way up to Jacksonville - are famous for their tiki-bars and a great delta blues man as well - Ernie Southern. Ernie Southern and the Deltaholics are the real deal when it comes to original and progressive delta blues. The band consists of: Ernie Southern on vocals and National Reso-Phonics guitars; Pompano Pete De Stefano on harp and backup vocals; Gary Jr. Waldo on bass; Steve Thorpe on Dobro guitars; Bobby Day on bass, percussion and backup vocals; Randy crouch on drums; Mike Della Cioppa on piano; and Tara & Kiley Howe on backup vocals. Ernie's latest release consists of eleven original tracks that pretty much reflect his outlook - and possibly that of many others, as well - on the struggles of modern day life. The discs title - and opening track, "Every Day Is A Fight", sums it up quite well. Ernie makes no bones about voicing his frustrations as he candidly proclaims "I Wanna Kill Somebody". Of course he doesn't mean it, but the situations he sings about can surely make someone want to think that way. This one's good old down home Delta Blues at it's best. Vocally, Ernie's so intense that you can't help but feel his sincerity, and musically it's an all out jam. The rhythm is hot and tight, the harp playing is dynamic and the connection between Ernie and Steve on the Resonator and Dobro is profound. This could very well be the discs best track. Although things slow down a bit on "Goin' Insane", the only thing that really changes is the beat. Ernie and Steve continue to display the musically creative bond they have between them and there's lots of serious pickin' on this one. If you're a fan of "Red Hot Delta Blues", then this one's for you. Although the Resonator and Dobro get their share of pickin in, this one features Pete and Randy at discs best. There are lots of very sharp harp leads and the drum work is absolutely phenomenal throughout. Vocally, Ernie's right on as usual while he sings about his experiences in one of those great Delta cities, Memphis, TN. Like a lot of other people, Ernie's looking for "Someone With Brains". Well, not really Ernie, because I'm sure he's singing this song about someone else. Ya see, I know his wife Franni, and he's already found someone with brains. Another cleverly written track which is highlighted by harmonically sound background vocals and percussion. On "Atheist Funeral", Ernie may rot in hell for saying it, but that's apparently OK with him. You see, after her departs from this life of sin and disgrace, he doesn't want to go to heaven 'cause it sounds like hell. This one features absolutely great guitar work - from Ernie on the resonator and from Bobby on the bass. This is another of the discs many highlights. Other tracks on this excellent disc include: "Every Day Is A Fight", "Into The Wind", "Island Earth", "Anytime Valentine", "Franni's Again", and "Blame it On the Moon". Hard core blues fans, especially those of the Delta style, need to check out this disc. You can pick one up, and read a lot about Ernie's very interesting and long spanning musical career by visiting his web site - www.erniesouthern.com. While there, please let him know his buddy the Blewzzman sends his regards.
