Brad Vickers and his Vestapolitans: The Music Gets Us Through

Guitarist and warm toned vocalist Brad Vickers delivers blues and boogies along with vocalist/composer Margey Peters for a footstomping collection of mostly originals. Peters belts out a gospel inflected “Now It’s Time For Me To Sing The Blues” and is a hoot on “Birds On My Family Tree” and “When I Am Drinking”. The team of Bill Rankin/dr, Peters/b, Dave Gross/g, Dave Keyes/p-org and Jim Davis-VD King/reeds mix and match along as Vickers sings along to his Chuck Berry riffs on “What In The WOrkd” and title tune. Some nice Delta work by Vickers on the bottle neck teams with Peters on a swampy folk of “Grab My Car Keys” and Charlie Burnham brings in his violin for some western swing on “Big Wind”, while Mikey Junior blows a Lake Michigan wind on his harp for “Take It Slow”. Two stepping the blues on this night out.
