Blurbs

About me:

.. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

I was the proverbial geek in Hi School, yep that was me... ROTC, Eagle Scout, drug-free, bright but with average grades. But BABY! look at me now.... Great life, wonderful kids, fantastic wife, nice home in a super neighborhood, a fantastic job, living the good life in New Orleans. And just to put a cherry on top, got my own radio show on WWOZ, "Sittin' At The Crossroad" with Big D. I play the blues every Wednesday afternoon from 2 until 4 (Central time). The listeners to the station are from all over the world. I've gotten email from Germany, England, Australia, Guatamala, and just about every state. The station is highly respected by the music community in New Orleans and everywhere and I have met so many great and soon to be great musicians thru the station.
(Yes, that is a picture of BB King up there.)

Life is good, and I wish for you......
May all your blues be on the radio....

      The more I worked on this song, the bigger it grew. When Hurricane Katrina ripped up New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama, it tore open our hearts too. What did we see? It’s the four year anniversary now. Has enough been done?

      Hey Dennis!
      Wanted to share with you this latest review of our CD "Blues From The South Side Of My Soul." Hope you're having a great weekend! Best Wishes, Jeff

      -
      It's been twenty years since Jeff Dale's had anything to do with the music scene. However, all that matters now is he's back.....man is he back!
       
          Similar to where most of the blues in his home city of Chicago come from, Jeff's blues also come from the south side.....the south side of his soul.  Hence, the disc, "Blues From The South Side of My Soul", featuring eleven Jeff Dale originals of which most are serious Chicago style blues with some not so serious lyrics. 
            
      Quite simply, the title track, "Blues From The South Side of My Soul", is an ass kicker.  Jeff Dales vocals are rough, tough and gruff and his guitar leads are ferocious.  Geoff's amazing yet eerie sounding harp leads sound like they're leading you down some dark alley where you'll get even more of an ass kickin' - from the rhythm section. 
       
          If you're lookin' for the hottest southern lovin' you need to get some "Alabama Lovin'".  That's where Jeff knows a hottie "who's body is a temple for five days a week, but on the weekend it becomes a fun house ride".  Every father's nightmare!  This whole track, highlighted by the fierce horn section and sharp background vocals, is like a fun house ride.
       
          If "You Don't Know Nothin' About Chicago", maybe you need to give this track a listen.  That's when you'll find out what really makes this famous city tick, and on “I’d Hit It” Jeff gets nasty with his guitar and vocals on this, another down and dirty smoker. Great Jimmy Reed type harp by Geoff also highlight this one.

      You can, and I recommend you do, check out the band by going to http://www.jeffdaleblues.com
      While you're there, you'll be able to purchase the disc, tell him the
