Reviews and Info
When Jason Ricci & New Blood launched "Rocket Number 9," their debut release for Eclecto Groove Records, they turned the blues world on their respective ear with a visionary and sonically bombastic recording that created a legion of new fans and spent a total of 7 weeks on the Billboard Blues Charts peaking at #4. "Done With The Devil" is easily Ricci & New Blood's most ambitious project yet. An album filled with a diverse array of instrumentation that includes chromatic, diatonic, chord and polyphonia harmonicas; tuba, bass harmonica, electric and upright bass; electric, acoustic and dobro guitars; Hammond B-3 and various percussion, plus additional special guests including ace blues guitarist Shawn Kellerman   CD Baby

We got us a real star here, backed by a solid constellation of players. Jason Ricci is young, too damn young to be playing the way he plays, it seems. On every cut, he's out there ramping up the band. Gorgeous breath work, with a fiery rip up the scale I'm thinkin' Musselwhite smiles at. Real nice album. Terrific swing of tunes, and none of them 'Explicit'. Where the hell did that label come from, Amazon? This is blues around the corner from jazz, off the bus from New Orleans, after having passed through Chicago, New York, and parts of that area of town your mother told you to stay away from. Luscious stuff. Might make you blind.
