'Satisfied’ Album Review
Written by Ian Tamblyn, O.C.
I have recently been listening to a wonderful new recording by Ball and Chain and the Wreckers entitled Satisfied, featuring the beautiful voice of Jody Benjamin and fiddle and vocals of Michael Ball. Ball and Chain are the classic country duo of Jody Benjamin and Michael Ball. They are most ably backed up and supported by The Wreckers with Fred Guignion on electric guitars, Derek Jeffery on bass and Bob Bangs on drums and vocals. Guest artists include Lynn Miles on harmony vocals, John Steele on pedal steel and Antoine Larocque on accordion.
'Deux' Album Review
Written by Ian Tamblyn, O.C.
As winter wears on with only the slimmest hope of longer days, the best cure for the ‘Farch’ blahs might be the latest recording of Zydeco gumbo by the Vanier Playboys. 'Deux' is indeed a wonderful stew of Louisiana-based music and, with the right volume and some hot sauce, you could leave winter well behind in the comfort of your living room!
