ANOTHER GREAT REVIEW!
Nappy Brown, Long Time Coming (Blind Pig BPCD 5119)
Reviewed by Tony Russell in Mojo 171, February 2008, p. 108.
Storming return for the 1950s R&B singer.
Here's a turn-up: a veteran practitioner of blues and (in the old sense) R&B makes a comeback album that begs no favours of its listeners. At 76, Nappy Brown -- he of the "l-l-l-l-l" gimmick, first exhibited on his 1955 hit Don't Be Angry, which he remakes here with gusto -- applies his very respectable vocal chops to a well-chosen setlist of mostly straightforward but not over-familiar blues. He's backed with discretion and period accuracy by a quintet featuring the undersung but brilliant guitarist Sean Costello, with ocassional horn flavouring and cameo appearances by Junior Watson and Bob Margolin; the event was affectionately and skillfully supervised by Brown's old friend Scott Cable. Been a l-l-l-l-long time coming, but well worth the wait

Greetins all ,
Thanks for stopping by...for those of you that got here by accident trying to figure out how to fix your cable service or get illeagal cable service go back to google! If you love deep Blues and Soul,Americana well...and music period you are in the right place.
I produce music and tour from time to time with some of America's greatest music artists. Somehow I lucked into being a sideman to one of Chicago's greatest Blues artists Carey Bell and lets say the rest is history. I played or worked with lots of folks before Carey but the time I spent with him, working side by side was probably the defining point or spring board of what was to come and I will forever be grateful to Carey for his trust and faith in me.
Making records is something I realy love. I have been fortunate enough to have made some records that were well received and were recognized by the international press...As a producer and artist I enjoy briniging out the best in the people that trust me with their music.
I hope you have half the fun listening to my records as we had making them. I welcome feedback and input from fans and fellow musicians and producers so feel free to drop me a line. I urge everyone to please support our artists out there traveling and making music to support themselves and their families.The music business has never been easy and today its tougher than ever. Hope you enjoy listening to my music and surfing around my page...Tell a friend and drp by anytime!!
Thanks,
Scott
