Bio
The Blues Vultures chose their name, in a roots based tradition: like vultures picking at the blues, they are picking through decades of rock history. They define themselves as a classic rock band, a decidedly modern term for any band that plays no frills rock ‘n’ roll. Let's go back: In the Delta of the Mississippi folklore has it, that if an aspiring bluesman waited by the side of a deserted crossroad in the dark of a moonless night, Satan himself might come and tune his guitar, sealing a pact for his soul and in turn giving a life of fame. In the late 1930’s Robert Johnson, king of the delta blues players embodied the idea of the blues as the devil’s music. His raw guitar style and unique song writing would become the inspiration for rhythm and blues, rock ‘n’ roll and finally lead to rock music. Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley, along with Eddie Cochran, turned black R&B into rock ‘n’ roll and popularized it with a new generation of suburban white teenagers. In 1964 The Beatles launched a new age in music with their performance on the Ed Sullivan show. The British Invasion was here! The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, The Kinks, The Yardbirds and The Who would bring a new kind of music: rock, heavily influenced by the blues. Jimi Hendrix playing with fire and igniting the souls of millions. In England, Mott The Hoople, David Bowie, T. Rex and The Faces played glam rock in the early 70’s. Meanwhile in the United States, Aerosmith, Kiss, Alice Cooper and The New York Dolls put a different twist on rock, along with the roots rock of Creedence Clearwater, Steppenwolf and Johnny Winter. Finally The New York Dolls, who toured with southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd, bridged the gap from blues to punk rock. Led Zeppelin influenced everyone who came after them in rock music. Jimmy Page, who may or may not have sold his soul to the devil, and Zeppelin embodied the new blues influenced rock music. To this day, they are the most heavily played band on rock radio. The Blues Vultures, led by guitarist Ronnie Younkins, known from the Hagerstown/ Baltimore rock band KIX, play rock ‘n’ roll originals and draw from roots based rock music of the classic rock era. -

Review on Xanga.com
The Blues Vultures in Chambersburg, PA 1-28-06
In an age in which theatrics and image are used to compensate for mediocre (or even downright poor) music, it's rare that one can see a stripped down, no frills classic rock n' roll show. However, that was precisely what the Blues Vultures treated their fans to at the Relax Lounge.
[...] While Ronnie handled a majority of the lead vocals, the BVs showed versatility and true musicianship - each member sang a handful of tunes. Three sets of original and classic rock n' roll music were performed. The originals were drawn from the Slimmer Twins CD Lack Of Luxury as well as the relatively new Blues Vultures disc Cheap Guitars & Honky Tonk Bars. Both of these albums are must-own, the latter containing soon to be classics such as "Subway To Success", "Wrap Yourself In Glamour" and "My Baby Up And Left Me". The covers were from the Stones ("Brown Sugar", "Sympathy For The Devil"), Aerosmith ("Sweet Emotion", "Walk This Way"), as well as the Georgia Satellites, Zeppelin, and the like. What separates the BVs from other bands that cover songs like these was the tightness and raw talent that the band displayed. [...]
As if the show wasn't enjoyable enough, the band ended their third set w/ a couple of punk covers - w/ the house lights on. "Chatterbox" by the New York Dolls and "I Wanna Be Sedated" by the Ramones ended a truly enjoyable performance. If you reside in the tri-state area, check out The Blues Vultures. It won't be soon enough until I see them again.
