Working hard to further explore what he calls “The Minneapolis Sound,” guitarist Mark Cameron returns with Nasty Business, debuting on the Blue Heart Records label. The ten new tracks feature the muscular sound generated by his hard working five-piece band. Backing his gritty guitar and vocals are Scott Lundberg on bass, drummer Dan Schroeder, blues harp man Rick Miller and Sheri Cameron on saxophone, percussion & vocals. Cameron brought in several guests to bolster the big sound including Tommy Barbarella on keyboards, vocalists Tonia Hughes, Sara Renner, and Grammy nominee Teresa James along with the horn section of Zack Lozier and Ian Schroeder.
Cameron’s guitar brings us into the opening track, “Sorry,” a full production number that sets the tone for things to come. The title track, “Nasty Business,” features a slinky groove from Schroeder along with greasy harmonica and sweet backing vocals in contrast to the heady subject matter. The bump ‘n’ grind blues “What’s For Supper” is layered with snarky idioms on the subject of tough love, demonstrating Cameron’s rapier bluesman wit. Acclaimed drummer, producer and sound designer, Greg Schutte, sits in on the swinging “Language Of The Blues,” with hot horn jabs and more sweet backing vocals emphasizing Cameron’s message of peace and love. The slow burning “That’s A Fact,” has Cameron playing the role of a brooding lover with convincing theatrics.
Cameron narrates the tribute to a northland juke joint and its notorious proprietor, “Nick’s Place,” that could have come out of the pages of a Mickey Spillane novel. The pulsating “Everything” lays out the attributes of a popular Femme Fatale in an advisory tone. Teresa James joins Cameron on the sultry Latin spiced poem of unrequited love “Combination.” He and Miller commiserate on common karmic pratfalls during the acoustic Delta duet “Life Is Good.” The Swamp Pop love song “Voodoo” closes the set with melodic flair. Blues is certainly Mark Cameron’s business, and his blues is nasty! ~Rick J Bowen
