Outside the lines is already the twelfth album by Misty Blues and it is a blast. The seven-piece band has really pulled everything out of the blues closet. Singer Gina Coleman takes you on this whirlwind of an album into the many beautiful things the blues has to offer. Then rocking again, a nice duet or a frivolous salsa. With all the musicality that is already in the band, they added another layer with the featured artists.
The heart of Misty Blues consists of a seven-piece band in which everything this album is so beautiful is bundled together. Gina Coleman (Vocals/Cigar Box Guitar/Guitar), Seth Fleischmann (Guitar/Vocals), Bill Patriquin (Bass/Trumpet/Vocals), Benny Kohn (Keys/Vocals), Rob Tatten (Drums/Trombone/Vocals), Aaron Dean (Saxaphone) and Diego Mongu e (Bass/Guitar/Drums/Vocals).
To give the whole thing even more cachet, the guest appearances, David Vittone (Organ Tracks 1,4,9), Petri Byrd (Vocals Track 2), Matt Cusson (Vocals/Keys Track 4), Kat Riggins (Vocals) and Justin Johnson (Guitar) on Track 10 and Eric Gales (Guitar Track 11) with their contribution to this dazzling blues album.
I nominate the opening track “Where your blues come from” for blues track of the year, a great song. How the power of Misty Blues comes together here; the guitar, the Hammond, the horns, the drive and power in the rhythm section, is fascinating, what an entry. This high level continues in a duet “I Don't Sleep” by Gina Coleman with Petri Byrd (Judge Judy), a great match of voices. The bass groove in “Every wich way”, a song she co-wrote with her son Diego Mongue, is so funky so swinging, wonderful. The funky groove is continued in the duet “One Of These Days” with pianist/singer Matt Cusson (Christina Aguilera, Dua Lipa, among others). The saxophone and guitar solos make the music of Misty Blues so diverse. After these songs with a somewhat jazzy feel, “Grip your soul” is so super funky again, it reminds me of Stevie Wonder. What great music you can make when you have so much musical talent in your band. Listen to that duel between sax and guitar, it's worldly.
The slow blues “Days of Voodoo and Laughter” gives space to all musicians in Misty Blues, the bass laying the foundation, the guitars filling each other, with the piano and sax, they all accompany Gina Coleman in this song. Just when you think how will this continue, Misty Blues opens another door with the fat rocker “Granville T”. With fat tearing guitars and thunderous sax it rocks the creases out of your pants. “Dare to dream” on the other hand is such a musical counterpart to this violence. Exposing her deeper motivation in this song, Gina sings about her growth, by going back to her roots and coming to new insights from there, Dare to dream. The song, again written with her son Diego, is of tranquil beauty. If you listen to this album you will continue to be amazed at how things are put together, “Judgment day” contains all the ingredients of Misty Blues, but then the accents are slightly different. This is also the case with “the Hate”, a song about what hate does to a person, powerfully expressed by Gina Coleman and the blues power woman Katt Riggins. The honor to close this album goes to Eric Gales, the funky commitment of Been A Long Time Coming fits seamlessly with Eric Gales' style.
Conclusion:
The band Misty Blues and the collaboration with the guest musicians make Outside The Line a blues album where coloring outside the lines is sublime and where music is played at a high level. Class album !!!
