Nick Curran  And The Nightlifes – Player! – BPCD 5091

 

Strange things happen.  I met some folks at a blues society function and Nick was playing.  I picked up the mail and his new CD was in it.  All in the same day!!  When it comes to fun Texas Swing, this gang has the groove.  I can’t say enough about the backline.  Damien Llanes is one of the tightest drummers I’ve ever heard and on String Bass, Preston Hubbard is a monster.  The CD has some of the best player around drop in a give it a kick.  Kin Wilson just seems to be everywhere, and that’s a good thing!!  Sure can’t hurt to have Jimmy Thackery lend his Mood Room for recording The Providence Horns either.  Nick is a talented young guitar player with quite an arsenal of riffs.  Some of them are quite smooth and tasty, some are still a little rough, but they are in the groove and the overall performance is solid.  The vocals seemed a little weak in the mix, both live and on the CD, but the content was cool.  I think we are going to see a lot more from this Player and the Nitelifes.
