Mick Kolassa: All Kinds of Blues

Original blues hues are delivered by singer/guitarist Mick Kolassa and a rotating team of Joey Robinson-Tom Lonardo-James Cunningham/key-dr, Jeff Jensen-Doug Macleod-Leo Goff-Dexter Allen/g-b, Bill Ruffino-b, Ric Steff/key, eric Hughes/g-harp, Kirk Smothers/sax and Marc Franklin/tp. The  horns bring in an earthy R&B feel to the swampy “Thank You Memphis” and the deep grooved sweaters “That Don’t Mean” and “You Bumped Me Again”. Kolassa has an avuncular delivery, taking it home on “B ad Decisions” and “Somebody Else’s Whiskey” while telling yarns worthy of the book of Ecclesiastes. Songs for the Moose Lodge in your heart.
