PHANTOM BLUES BAND "OUT OF THE SHADOWS"

Source: Radio Feedback

"From the first few bars, this release speaks volumes about the music that moves these guys and the miles and hours they’ve logged on their own and as sidemento great roots artists. They cut a deep, wide swath with fresh takes on classicgrooves, effortlessly struttin’ with authority and conviction. It’s a beautiful thing when top-notch players give it up to the songs and take joy in playing as a unit. The promise that was made with their last release, “Out of the Shadows”is fulfilled here with a great record."

Thanks for continuing to service my radio show. I only just got to the Phantom Blues Band .Holy cow, what a disc!! I can't stop listening to this thing. I'm having it added to my HOT page today on my radio show website, but wish it had gotten there earlier.

Thanks for all the great music...pass on my and Ken's appreciation to all the artists that you represent and record. I find myself in a truly fortunate position to present this music to other people.

Thanks also for the extra copy of "out of the shadows"; I will be giving it away to one of our dedicated listeners in the coming weeks.

Just wanted to let you know that I really dig the new phantom blues cd.  Over the last two weeks, I played the following cuts on my radio show, Hambone's Blues Party: #1, 2,3, 4, 7 and 11.

I really dig the cover of "Think" and like the Big Boy Pete.

As you can see Phantom Blues Band is on the playlist. PBB is really amazing and soulful band. Album is so damn good , during the first presenattion I have 42 phone calls, people asked about them, many of people forgot that the PBB played with Taj Mahal. But when I let them that bio fact, they all knew the rest . If you know what I mean.

Greeting from a very sunny Memphis. Got "Out of the Shadows" a couple of weeks ago, and was absolutely blown away by it. One of the best albums I've heard in several years. I know it hits the street on 11.21, so I am planning on featuring it on my show on 11.18, and will play at least 6 or 7 tracks that night, plus work it into regular rotation. I really appreciate being on the Delta Groove mailing list. The quality of the music you guys are producing is really exceptional, and I always look forward to new releases.

l have just opened your parcel to find the new Phantom Blues Band cd. man what a killer, we absolutely LOVE it. I handed a copy straight to the cities leading Blues show, "Jumping The Blues" with Tom Sianidis Wednesday 1 to 3pm. He was as blown away with it as l was and instantly played some of my recommendations on his show. This had the phones ringing like crazy. It's a winner for sure. As always Delta Groove delivers the goods with the real Blues and not some Rock imitation. The cd will be on next weeks Tip Sheet on our web site that is now receiving 5 million hits per month. The tip sheet is also e-mailed to thousands of our members. All l can say is a very big sincere thank-you for this incredible cd and as you are aware PBS is the home of Delta Groove on Radio here in Melbourne Australia........
