:: Release Notes:
::
::
:: Formed in 2001, the Blue House Band are comprised of
:: musicians who achieved individual recognition in the '80s and
:: '90s having performed with such eclectic talents as Ian
:: Hunter, Foghat, Firefall, and Blowfly Comprised of
:: guitarist/vocalist Robbie Alter, bassist Richie Goldman, and
:: drummer Bobby "BB G" Goldman, Blue House combine modern
:: electric blues with classic boogie and Southern rock and a
:: touch of retro swing. The band gained a healthy word-of-mouth
:: popularity based on live performances around its home base of
:: south Florida, which led to the recording of its first
:: full-length CD, Who's in the House, released during 2007 on
:: Florida's BEKAM label. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide

:: Blues Bytes Review
::
:: Blues trios have had a tremendous challenge to gather any
:: fame and notoriety since the inception of Stevie Ray Vaughan
:: and Double Trouble over 25 years ago. Their success, built
:: around VaughanÆs unreal skills on the guitar, proved that you
:: donÆt have to assemble a team of players to establish
:: yourself in the upper legions of blues bands.
::
::
::
:: Make way for the BlueHouse Band out of south Florida. Not
:: only does this band continue the tradition but in the very
:: first song, "Dynomite," on their debut release WhoÆs In The
:: House? (Bekam Records), Stevie Ray is mentioned showing the
:: bandÆs understanding of what came before to pave the way.
::
::
::
:: As did Stevie Ray and Double Trouble, BlueHouse Band's
:: powerful blues comes from the strength of lead guitarist and
:: slide player Alter (Robbie Alter) backed with the intricate
:: bass thumping of Richie Goldman
::
:: and the thundering drums of Bobby ô BBGö Goldman. Alter
:: perfected his licks by being a member of that great Æ70s
:: blues-rock outfit, Foghat. Always considered in my estimation
:: as the unheard member of the band, engineer and mixer Bryan
:: Bassett does an exemplary job bringing this band to life
:: considering the rep these boys have formed all throughout
:: Florida as one hell of a live band. Bassett understands this
:: band and is successful in bringing their ôliveö sound to the
:: boards. Fortunately, in this case Bassett does show up as a
:: real player adding a tasty slide solo to the tune "Baby,
:: Baby."
::
::
::
:: BlueHouse Band runs the gamut of the blues from jump blues,
:: on a song appropriately titled "JumpinÆ" to the gutbucket
:: feel in "Baby, Baby" to a unique version of the blues where
:: Goldman, the song's composer, trades in his skins for a pair
:: of spoons on (here we go with appropriately titled songs
:: again) "WonÆt Forget My Spoons" along with a soaring slide
:: solo from Alter.
::
::
::
:: At the beginning of "Bluesman Tim," Alter makes reference to
:: the movie version of the Wizard of OzÆs "Over The Rainbow"
:: with a beautiful slide rendition, then quietly breaking into
:: a song about what blues musicians can expect in the great
:: beyond. This gospel-based tune features the Mount Bethel
:: Music Ministry Choir who halfway through turn up the heat and
:: lead us through a rousing church anthem begging all of us to
:: meet up with Bluesman Tim for a kicking party in the heavens.
:: The only female presence here is strongly felt on "Gimme The
:: News," where a very capable Holly Doherty provides lead and
:: harmony vocals. Speaking about harmony these three guys truly
:: have mastered their intertwining voices all throughout this
:: disc which this CD more delightful to listen to.
::
::
::
:: All tunes were written by either Alter or Goldman (or both),
:: which makes WhoÆs In The House my favorite original release
:: this year. Most unknown bands usually throw in some remakes
:: or standards to get some
::
:: recognition. Not this band. This shows their writing strength
:: as well, which will lead this band down the road to success.
