ghost town blues shine

Ghost Town Blues Band (from the album Shine available as a self-release)
The sound of Memphis, Tennessee can be heard on Shine, the recent release from hometowners Ghost Town Blues Band, the title riding the thick current of the Mississippi River in its rhythm as it heads uptown on horns and the storyline tosses its trouble into the water. Shine slowly rises on a piano led jam before dual guitar leads partner-up and plow into “Givin’ It All Away”, Ghost Town Blues Band sinking back down into the Blues for the missing-you regrets of “Carry Me Home” and high-stepping to sing a song for “Evangelie” as they slather a thick layer of homebrewed grease over a cross-country diary for “Dirty”.
 
In addition to making good use of their hometown export of Memphis groove, Ghost Town Blues Band pen stories from the streets of their western Tennessee turf, crafting songs on Shine with working class Soul and blue-collar Blues jams. The rhythm rolls around in “High Again”, snaps on the effervescent double entendre of “Soda Pop”, and struts in on memories mixed with wishes for “Running Out of Time”. Blues and Southern Rock are second nature to Ghost Town Blues Band, Shine showing that the styles are embedded in DNA when added to the Country sunshine sway of “Heading Nowhere Fast” as misty Americana boards a train-track beat with “Hey There Lucinda”.
