Artist's Website: Jeff Pitchell
The Bonafide Celebration of B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughan by three Hall of Famers...CLAUDETTE KING, JEFF PITCHELL and TYRONE VAUGHAN.
Jeff Pitchell:
Blues Hall of Fame award winning guitarist Jeff Pitchell’s style blends B.B. King and Duane Allman, which was endorsed by Gregg Allman. His diverse songwriting catalog recalls the variety of Eric Clapton’s classics and his vocal delivery, which ranges from smooth tenderness to Billy Gibbons ZZ Top-like power, received high praise from J. Geils. His latest CD has reached #6 in Roots survey for the Electric blues category in the USA...https://www. rootsmusicreport.com/charts/ view/song/sub_genre/electric- blues/weekly…. His songwriting award winning “An Eye for an Eye” was recorded by British blues legend John Mayall. Pitchell’s Anthology collection covers decades of work including “Alone,” dedicated to his late friend who planned on opening up a blues club with him, being heartfelt blues with tasteful guitar accents. “Beautifully Broken” is a touching piano ballad. “American Way,” written for the James Woods film An American Girl, is a patriotic soldier tribute, perfect for Memorial Day and Veterans Day airplay. The guitar and organ blend on Pitchell’s version of “Soulshine” captures The Allman Brothers Band’s foundation on this Warren Haynes composition, with Michael Allman as guest vocalist. He turns a pair of 1970s Top 40 hits into logical blues songs, The Atlanta Rhythm Section’s “So into You” and Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine,” joined by saxophonist Charles Neville. A half-dozen songs from Pitchell’s Billboard Top 10 blues album Heavy Hitter are also included.
Claudette King:
National Recording Academy Member, Claudette King, dubbed "The Bluz Queen" is the youngest daughter of THEE Ultimate Blues Master, B. B. King and, if familial genes count for anything, she is "On to something."
The former San Francisco Bay Area native now living in Atlanta, Georgia, has had the life experiences to make lyrics mean something. She has a natural ease in shifting with the mood of each lyric. But most certainly, the power of Claudette's enthusiasm for the splendid genre-blending music on her debut "We're Onto Something" merits wide notice. Claudette, has also been elected to the Blues Hall of Fame because of her own talent!
Tyrone Vaughan:
Tyrone Vaughan is recognized as a member of one of America’s most renowned musical families and because of his own talent was elected to Blues Hall of fame... Son of Jimmie Vaughan the founder and guitar player of the Fabulous Thunderbirds and nephew of legendary blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan. TV carries on the proud Texas tradition of playing the Blues from Austin, Tx.
