Johnny Adams: "An Introduction to Johnny Adams"
“A compilation of tracks recorded around the late 1970s and early '80s, this collection highlights this unjustly obscure New Orleans singer's versatility, as he recalls Brook Benton on the sophisticated R&B of "Stairway to Heaven," performs a creditable disco-inflected falsetto version of "Spanish Harlem," and delivers a bluesy performance of Tyrone Davis's classic "Turning Point." ~ www.cduniverse.com

"Renowned around his Crescent City home base as "the Tan Canary" for his extraordinary set of soulfully soaring pipes..." ~ www.allmusic.com

The Mighty Mike Schermer Band: "Next Set"
"The Mighty Mike Schermer Band's debut release 1st Set (2000) received rave reviews and success worldwide and is still popular on the scene today, but it was the 2005 release of Next Set that introduced Schermer to the modern blues world as one of the genre's foremost songwriters. Propelled by the hit single "My Big Sister's Radio" Next Set climbed the Living Blues Radio Charts, scored three and a half stars in Downbeat magazine and was #1 on XM radio for well over three months.

The song also found it's way into the Carolina Beach Music scene, and in 2006 it was awarded the CMBA's National Song of the Year. Rising star Tommy Castro heard "Big Sister's Radio" and went crazy, told Mike he HAD to cover it on his next record. Castro's Painkiller won a 2008 Blues Music Award (Handy Award) for best contemporary album. " ~ www.mighty-mike.com
