Post Description

Although it took over twenty-five years of playing before the members of Warsaw's Summertime Blues Band brought their collective talents together, when they did they knew the result was instant magic. When the decision was made to record their solid Chicago-based blues originals, the wisdom of their years proved itself by deciding to do things right (the fact that the members were advanced enough in their careers that they could afford the best didn't hurt either). The steady ear of Tim Bushong, professional art direction, a genuine barcode, pressed and screen printed CDs, and artwork not printed on a borrowed Lexmark inkjet printer all lend themselves to making I Could'a Been an exceptionally professional release.

But all the money in the world can't cover up for poorly written and sloppily played songs. As luck would have it, Summertime Blues Band sidestepped both of these errors by recording twelve varied and creative originals with the utmost style and panache. The lead vocals are split with nearly surgical precision between Zeek Bailey, Bill Gieras and Ted Carter (the rumor is Bill Kolter has a fine voice that is remarkably ill suited for blues), which adds yet another layer of tonal and stylistic variety. For even more diversity, the songwriting duties are also shared and since the collective influences span from metal to funk to classic rock to Chicago blues, even those who normally yawn at the thought of blues music will find a cornucopia of delights to entertain their degenerating brain.
