They were polite & friendly, extremely professional.
Regarding their performance, they exceeded our
expectations!
"Brilliant!
... The mix of music was spot on" - Brilliant!
The band played at our wedding reception on August 2nd
and they were amazing, I lost count of how many people
said how good they were. The mix of music was spot on -
it must have been because the dance floor was full for
the entire set! Thanks again, guys. Love Sarah and Edd

Early country music was infused with the blues.[128]
Jimmie Rodgers, Moon Mullican, Bob Wills, Bill Monroe
and Hank Williams have all described themselves as blues
singers and their music has a blues feel that is
different to the country pop of Eddy Arnold. A lot of
the 1970s-era "outlaw" country music by Willie Nelson
and Waylon Jennings also borrowed from the blues. When
Jerry Lee Lewis returned to country after the decline of
1950s style rock and roll, he sang his country with a
blues feel and often included blues standards on his
albums. Many early rock and roll songs are based on
blues: "That's All Right Mama", "Johnny B. Goode", "Blue
Suede Shoes", "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On", "Shake,
Rattle, and Roll", and "Long Tall Sally". The early
African American rock musicians retained the sexual
themes and innuendos of blues music: "Got a gal named
Sue, knows just what to do" ("Tutti Frutti", Little
Richard) or "See the girl with the red dress on, She can
do the Birdland all night long" ("What'd I Say", Ray
Charles). |
