SYNDICATED RADIO SHOWS BEALE STREET CARAVAN AND MUSIC CITY ROOTS CONFIRMED
Julie Rhodes’ debut album ‘Bound To Meet The Devil’ comes out February 26
but already praise is rolling in for her Etta James-meets-Cary Ann
Hearst vocals, Muscle Shoals, AL production, and great songwriting.
She’s confirmed tapings with syndicated radio shows Music City Roots and
Beale Street Caravan and will be headed to play her first SXSW. What
we’re hearing about Julie:
"Those songs are just perfect."
- Meredith Ochs, SIRIUS XM, January 29, 2016
“A significant new Americana/blues talent.”
- Adrien Begrand, Pop Matters, November 23, 2015
"While Rhodes' vocals evoke blues queens and soul shouters, "Bound to
Meet the Devil" rounds up a range of roots sounds... Part of 'Bound to
Meet the Devil's' charms come from the production and the players, but
Rhodes' songwriting completes the spell. Her songs seem to rise from the
ghosts of '50s blues and '60s soul greats. 'Hurricane' could be
something Otis Redding penned in 1965... I have a feeling she'll be busy
with national tours, trips to Europe and even a few late-night TV
performances."
- Jed Gottlieb, Boston Herald, January 1, 2016
"The blues for a new generation... Rhodes shines... gritty and emotionally raw."
–Elmore, December 17, 2015
“Listen.”
– The Bluegrass Situation, December 10, 2015
"Powerhouse."
- Tara Joan, The Daily Country, February 8, 2016
“Sometimes you hear a song and realize that there's something inherently
special about it, something that elevates it above the rest of its
musical peers. And in regard to New England blues artist Julie Rhodes,
that song is the lead track from her forthcoming debut record, ‘Bound to
Meet the Devil.’ Everything from the tenor of its blues-influenced
tones to the dusty, workingman's blues attitude causes you to suspect
that Rhodes will soon find a much larger audience… There's nothing
synthetic or fraudulent, only a pure determination.”

JIM DICKINSON ON TED DROZDOWSKI’S SCISSORMEN: “ACID BLUES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY”
BEALE STREET CARAVAN TAPING PERFORMANCE IN EARLY JUNE AS EARLY RAVES COME FROM DIFFUSER, WAX POETICS, ETC.
Before he passed away, Jim Dickinson heard Ted Drozdowski’s Scissormen, whose new album ‘Love & Life’ comes out July 31. Dickinson had this to say about Ted’s music:
“Ever wonder what would have happened if Bukka White had discovered the Fuzz Tone? Or if Skip James had played piano with Antenna Jimmy and Drumbo from the Magic Band? Scissormen is acid blues for the 21st century... Robert Palmer would indeed be proud.”
Early buzz on ‘Love & Life’ has been excellent. In a premiere of “Beggin’ Jesus,” Diffuser.FM praised Drozdowski’s “Staggering guitar skills [on] music that will stand the test of time."
Wax Poetics said, “Ted Drozdowski’s Scissormen weaves together Hill Country blues, Memphis soul, and psychedelic/garage rock.”
Beale Street Caravan is taping the band’s performance on June 2 at Rum Boogie in Memphis, TN for broadcast on its nationally syndicated radio program.
Elmore called the album an “exciting journey of experimental, genre-hopping, electric and eclectic music making.”

“CAPTIVATING” (MEMPHIS COMMERCIAL APPEAL) EDEN BRENT ALBUM COVER INCLUDES NOD TO MISSISSIPPI DELTA PIANO MENTOR BOOGALOO AMES
RAVES FROM NASHVILLE SCENE, WASHINGTON POST, KNOXVILLE NEWS-SENTINEL, MEMPHIS COMMERCIAL APPEAL
CONCERT TAPED FOR BEALE STREET CARAVAN SYNDICATED RADIO SHOW
Mississippi Delta pianist, songwriter, and emotive singer Eden Brent nods to her mentor Boogaloo Ames on the album cover of ‘Jigsaw Heart,’ out last week on Yellow Dog Records. There’s an Ampex 456 tape box front and center. “That’s Boogaloo!’” she exclaims. The cover art, as vivacious as Eden’s own spirit, is by fellow Mississippian H.C. Porter as part of her Blues @ Home series, which captures Mississippi blues musicians in their homes.
Abie “Boogaloo “Ames took Brent as an apprentice for 16 years, as portrayed in the 1999 PBS documentary “Boogaloo & Eden: Sustaining the Sound.” After they met when he played at her sister’s wedding, he took her under his wing. The duo played concerts together in the Mississippi Delta region and beyond, where Brent was raised and still makes her home and where she is now known as Little Boogaloo.
This month, The Nashville Scene wrote of her, "Her sophisticated command and creative breadth grow with each album, including the just-released Jigsaw Heart, which teams Brent with Nashville-based roots-music MVP Colin Linden as her producer... her live shows bring bawdy spirit and sprightly sophistication to her free-ranging mix of Americana, blues and jazz, driven by her superb keyboard technique and warm Mississippi drawl."
The Washington Post Express ran a feature on Brent, who made her New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival debut this year.
She taped a May concert for syndicated radio program Beale Street Caravan and also taped a video session for Birthplace Sessions, on the property of Elvis Presley’s birthplace.
Memphis Commercial Appeal calls her “captivating,” continuing, “her music combines Bluff City grit with Crescent City swing.”
Meanwhile, the Knoxville News-Sentinel said, "Plays and sings with soul and style. The uptempo tracks are a lot of fun, but Brent really shines on the torchier numbers, including the fine title track, and the easygoing songs... The latter includes some cool piano and slide guitar interplay that’s truly sweet."
