Jack De Keyzer
"Silver Blues"
|
Review By John Vermilyea (Blues Underground Network) Fans who like Jazz, Funk, and Blues, magically mixed together, will love this thoroughly enjoyable Live Album "Silver Blues" from Jack De Keyzer. Beautifully clean and well done for a Live Album. With Hints of Miles Davis, Johnny Lang, and Willie MacCalder from the Powder Blues, each song takes you on a wonderful journey as you get a jam style feel, mainly because it is a Live Album and each song seems nicely elongated. The more you listen to 'Silver Blues" the more of a fan you are going to be for Jack De Keyzer. Well Done Jack... Looking Forward to More... Favorite Songs High On Your Love See what others are saying about the masterful Jack De Keyzer "A coveted super-hero in Canada. 6 String Lover blends blues with elements of jazz, soul, r&b and early rock'n'roll." "Killer tunes...one of the last true-blue rock' n rollers" Andy Grigg Real Blues "Blues bands would kill to sound as good as this crew" Peter North Edmonton Journal Jack de Keyzer has a mystique about him that is rare among even the best known musicians. “Jack de Keyzer is in town” — the statement tingles with expectation, with the sense that something good is about to happen. Bob Liddycoat Hamilton View Magazine "Engine Trouble' is a masterpiece, invoking feelings of the late Muddy Waters at his best...sure to become a classic." Stuart Blower Live on Stage "Stepping in for Mick Taylor, the ex- Stones guitarist, didn't faze de Keyzer. Playing hot tunes from his latest album, 6 String Lover, he shone." This CD has it all....a very nice mix of blues, groove, funk and even a couple of delta blues type cuts. "Funk This" great funk track, "Rock 'Til We Drop" neat rockabilly feel to it, "Soul Lover" and "Engine Trouble" are powerful blues tracks. This whole CD is awesome. Actually one of my favorite CD's. This album is highly recommended. Luc Vanderdonckt WinnipegBlues.com "There's a line-up of people wanting to borrow it. (6 String Lover) It's that good. He's b-b-bad to the bone. Get your own!" Gary Curtis Hamilton Spectator "The songwriting and artistry are this disc's greatest strengths. A stomping house party...mind-blowing guitar solos." Tim Holek Blues on Stage "Jack de Keyzer's guitar playing and singing both have a commanding presence and he pulled out all the stops on this CD. I hope one of the 'major' labels pick up this CD." A+ Christopher Michaels (London Scene) "6 String Lover...exudes spirit, class, style and the ever-present de Keyzer wit. This could be the album to finally garner the recognition long overdue." Gary 17 T.O. Nite "De Keyzer displays the mastery of straight-ahead blues, funk and soul that has earned him a reputation as one of the best musicians in this country." Cam Hayden, Vue Weekly (Edmonton) "A genuinely great and talented musician...his finest work to date...bound to be another award winner." Stella Ducker (Oshawa Life) "I’m gonna keep on sayin’ it until he’s a superstar worldwide; if you love the smooth, smoldering guitar, soulful singing and the rockin’ blues then you MUST check out de Keyzer now." Colin Bryce Mohair Sweets Multi-talented Jack de Keyzer, a gifted songwriter, a mean guitarist and a smooth, sultry singer. Ruth Schweitzer Maple Blues "Hot Stuff.."
