Subject: CHICAGO MUSIC SCENE ALBUM REVIEW-MICHAEL CHARLES
Body: Chicago Music Scene
I'm Nobody's Fool By: Brian Campbell
Michael Charles
I’m Nobody’s Fool
www.michaelcharles.us
"Michael Charles is just like a bottle of fine wine since he just gets better with time. Somewhere between 1999’s Keep Walking and the recently released 2006 I’m Nobody’s Fool, Charles got better; a lot better.
I’m Nobody’s Fool is a venerable blues clinic, full of big sounds and wailing guitars. The grooves are better on this record, and so is the overall vibe. There isn’t any filler, just solid guitar riffs and some smooth backing music to go along with it. The guitars are so special on I’m Nobody’s Fool; they are sweet, subtle, massive, churning, and every other adjective in-between. Not to mention that Fool is a sexy record; the vocals, the guitars, the drumming, everything. This record has a definite swagger to it that few may be able to match.
Take the title track for example. This song leads the early charge of the record with talented soloing and a singable hook. Charles is good at crafting first-rate blues tunes, but also delves into some jazz and jam work as well, with tracks Rag, Addition and Jumbo. The instrumentations are silky smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, and offer a good break from the traditional blues rock on this album. Gave It All Away is one of the better tracks because of how musically flowing the song is, and it might just have the best chorus on the record.
Above all else, it’s the guitars that are really at the forefront on I’m Nobody’s Fool. Don’t get me wrong, the vocals and the drums should not be overshadowed. He is so good at writing full songs that employ the use of vocals, but he is equally as good writing straight acoustic tracks.
You will get into I’m Nobody’s Fool, that is a given. Charles is sincere and real, and it is clearly evident that his guitar riffs and his words come from his heart, and aren’t pre-processed or over-produced in any way. Charles is real and so is his music. It’s that simple

"This comment is to all of our best friends and fans, you are all very special to us! We are extremely busy maintaining the U.S. leg of MC’s Full Circle Tour and before we can catch our breath we are working on the final preparations for the Australian leg. Wow it’s exciting! But it makes time short to write each one individually and thank you for all of your great emails and comments! I talked to MC and he says he is still doing all of his! I am jealous! But the tour is going great!! Saturday was an awesome night on the south side of Chicago and we have a lot of dates let to look forward to! In the middle of this we congratulate MC as we received notice that once again Michael Charles has been elected in four categories for a Grammy in the 50th Grammy awards! Well all my best friends, will keep you posted on this wonderful time here at Moonlight Label.
As Always,
Jane, administrative Assistant
