The 2nd Zen Blues Quartet disc titled 'Again And Yet Again'
Right out the gate Zen Blues Quartet lets you know they are SERIOUS about their music with the Mike Finnigan penned 'What A Life'. A very tasty tune rich with musical talent and astounding vocals.
Next is Tim Scott's 'I've Had Harder Times From Better Women Than You', with Curtis Salgado blowin' the mississippi saxaphone. This tune will surely getcha dancin'.
Slowing down a notch with Steely Dan's 'Reeling In The Years' is a soulful gospel groove with Tim Scott & Mike Finnigan taking turns vocally and will have you huggin' your honey for sure.
I've always dug the Lester Christian penned 'Let A Woman Be A Woman' but this version with Tim Scott vocals and some amazing horn riffs is pretty freaking cool.
Tim again shows his soulful vocal abilities with 'Kiss And Say Goodbye' along with Finnigan & John March laying down some pretty tasty B3 & guitar licks on this track. Very nice & smooth 'Powerful Stuff' penned by Mike Finnigan and then a nod to Finnigans old employer 'Etta James' with Johnny 'Guitar' Watson's 'I Want To Ta Ta Ya' with some very dynamic & emotional playing involved on this tune.
Next is a nod to the great NW with a Rich Dangel/Tim Scott penned instrumental 'Secrets Best Kept'. While John March is a very capable guitarist I still found myself thinking of Dangel and the many, many nights at the Scarlet Tree groovin' to this tune.
'Grits Ain't Groceries' sung by Tim Scott is such a fun tune but then you add Mike Finnigan singing and it becomes doubly fun. I have been hearing this tune for years without tiring of it. It'll surly get ya dancing even in your seats.
The production and playing on this disc is of top quality and the players are some of the finest in the business.
Tim Scott is a Seattle native and one of my all time favorite vocalist's. Tim's singing is soulful, passionate and full of conviction and range. He is also one very tasty bass player. Tim was a huge part of The Scarlet Tree house-band, 'The Reputations' with Rich Dangel, Denny Goodhew, Kurt Kolstad, Jim E. Holden, John Goforth, Mike Jaap, Steve Banks, Jeff Simmons, and a variety of only the best players in town all improvising and pushing one another to play their best. The Reputations also backed up such talent as Ms. Etta James, Big Joe Turner, George Benson and Buddy Miles just to name a few and I saw it all.
Mike Finnigan is an integral part of The Phantom Blues Band that Taj Mahall recorded with and used for many years. Mr Finnigan also spent many, many years playing B3 for Etta James. Finnigan is a highly acclaimed session player that has played with too many to name here.
Steve Ferrone is the touring drummer for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and was with the Average White Band for many years. Being the 'groove in the pocket' meister he is Mr. Ferrone has played for pretty much everyone in many different styles/genres of music including Eric Clapton, Keb Mo & Duran Duran.
John March is an excellent & talented guitarist who has played for Mitchell Forman, Jeff Young & The Kids, Alex Ligertwood & Bill Churchill.
Along with our own Curtis Salgado guesting on this disc are also: Carmen Grillo, Marty Grebb, The LA Horns = Bill Churchill, Rev. Dave Bonuff & Ed Wynne.
This is a most excellent outting for The Zen Blues Quartet and I suggest you get out and purchase it at any major record store along with their first recording. You may also catch The Zen Blues Quartet this summer headlining at the Mt. Baker Blues Festival this year.
