THE
HOLLYWOOD BLUE FLAMES
"ROAD TO RIO" & "SOUL
SANCTUARY"
Source: Radio Feedback |
I finally realized that we have two of your artists' discs in play currently on the Juke (WMSV): the Hollywood Blue Flames and the Mannish Boys. Both great discs stuffed with talent. I've been a fan since I opened the tribute to Hollywood Fats. Looking forward to more!

up this mornin' with a Hollywood hangover. I loved
loved loved the Blue Flames. So authentic in every
way. Larry and Richard held it down til I thought
my heart would implode and Fred was amazing and
tore up the place. What can I say about Al Blake.....yes,
yes, yes. Rick Holmstrom was the bonus situation.
I'm blessed with these Blues. Thank you babies.
Delta
Groove, #1 in our hearts.

To

of covers. Delta Groove has surely done it again.

We
LOVE the three most recent releases from D.G.
here at 100,000 watt KUMD in Duluth, MN. Each
is terrific in it's own way:
John Long "Lost & Found" is a great
intro to someone we hadn't known.
Hollywood Blue Flames "Road To Rio"
continues their reemergence
Lynwood Slim "Last Call" (Say "Hi"
to Slim for me, he and I go way back)
All getting 3-4 spins a week within our eclectic
musical mix!! keep the great music coming!!

Love
the new CDs by the Hollywood Blue Flames, the
bonus disc of the Hollywood Fats band performances.
The projects you release are among the best in
the biz. I'm sure they'll rise to the top of my

Just
a quick note of sincere thanks for sending Hollywood
Fats Band, Hollywood Blue Flames and Lynwood Slim
cd's which I picked up from radio station today.
The tunes are certainly moving me - the song "Let's
Rock Awhile" from Road To Rio particularly,
has struck an incredible cord for me personally,
which I can only describe as fantastic.
All the music is most definitely "getting
closer to the core". I'm sure my listeners
will agree, too.
Will feature this weekend.
Many thanks again.
Cheers.

The
new album by The Hollywood Blue Flames and bonus
disc with Hollywood Fats' tracks is a real winner
- for me traditional album of the year! No other
comments are needed.
As with other Delta Groove albums it will be my
pleasure to feature them in my shows. I'm sure
my listeners will enjoy it as much as I do.

Welcome
to PBS FM, Melbourne's only Roots Music based
station. I have just received your package and
you blew not only myself but the number one Blues
announcer away with the contents. To say l had
to hold him back is an understatement, yep he
was a shakin'. What we do around here is that
every cd that arrives is listened to by myself
and my assistant and then allocated to the show
that it is best suited to. The two releases will
be finding a home with Tom Sianidis for his "Jumping
The Blues" show Wednesdays 1 to 3pm. This
is the top Blues show in town and has a very large
following both on the radio but also on the web
site here. The "Lynwood Slim" cd was
on his wish list and after listening to it l understand
why, in fact there were a couple of tracks of
big interest to me in particular. The reason,
was that l present a Doo-Wop show every Monday
and Track 7 is a 5 Royales song and track 11 is
a Bo Diddly and the Flamingos track. Sorry to
digress as they instantly caught my attention.
Also to see the "Hollywood Fats Band with
a new release as the "Hollywood Blue Flames"
( which by coincidence was the name of 50's legendry
singer Bobby Byrd and his Hollywood Flames, Top
West Coast Group). Sorry did it again. This double
cd is sensational and will be aired on next weeks
show, one that l will really be looking forward
to. Tom as always will be giving the listeners
your web site address and will be mentioning it
on his station web site program page. Because
we are the home of the blues in this city we are
expected to keep ahead of the rest and produce
only THE best in the music world, Delta Groove
is exactly what we are here for and stand for.
Thank-you for your generous support and of course
on behalf of the station and our listeners may
l extend to you all a big welcome to Melbourne
Australia. Delta Groove part of the sound of PBS
FM. Kindest
regards Peter.
Thanx
so much for the both very fine records Hollywood
Blue Flames/Hollywood Fats Band & the Lynwood
Slim. These stuffs are great and strong and I'm
listening them the all time! I've told that good
news to the whole blues radios circuit, and more...What
a great!

“I
have been following the musical careers of the
members of The Hollywood Blue Flames since the
Hollywood Fats album was released on vinyl. I
really like their album and have been playing
it a lot as evidenced by its position at number
3 this month. They have achieved that telepathic
tight yet relaxed sound that only people who have
played together for a number of years are able
to reach.”
(KUFM

This
is my idea of the quintessential Southern California
Blues sound: tight funky and tough.
