Info for Blue Me Away

AIX Records has a great relationship with super-star guitarist Laurence Juber. He was a guest artist on the Dorian Michael – Acoustic Blues project along with Albert Lee, made his own solo project Guitar Noir with help from Domenic Genova and Steve Forman, brought his studio friends in for the AIX Allstars Christmas DVD and is a featured player with Steve Pierson’s Blueshead project. This is great blues! An incredible band, lots of soul and energy and a bottom end that just punches through…get your subwoofer ready.

Steve Pierson is an accomplished musician, singer and songwriter. His tunes are all basic blues but infused with great heart and the playing on this recording is off the charts. Hearing Laurence Juber’s electric solos on his 1957 gold top Gibson Les Paul is something you don’t hear every day. He’s been primarily an acoustic, finger-style guitar player for a couple of decades. But here he shows his electric chops.

The other members of the top tier ensemble have major talent as well. Michael Murphy was in REO Speedwagon, Gerald Johnson is currently touring with Dave Mason and Gary Mallabar has played with The Steve Miller Band and Van Morrison. This is band that knows how to play the blues.

"Blues Head is fronted by Steve Pierson and supported by a stellar group of musicians...including Laurence Juber rocking out on his '57 Les Paul! Great original blues tunes recorded and mixed in high-resolution, 5.1 channel surround sound make this a really special release. This session was loud!" (Mark Waldrep)
