Michael Hill's Blues Mob 1998 - New York State Of The Blues [EAC FLAC]  Michael Hill's Blues Mob  Wikipedia: Michael Hill's Blues Mob is an American blues trio. The members have variously included Michael Hill, his bass guitar playing brother, Kevin, and singing sisters, Wynette and Kathy. Originally formed in the early 1990s by Michael Hill (born 1952, The Bronx, New York, United States), the Blues Mob is a trio - however they sometimes add keyboards. Hill came to blues music from the atypical social and musical background of the Bronx and the Black Rock Coalition. With the release of their first album Bloodlines in 1994, Michael Hill's Blues Mob established themselves. Bloodlines went on to earn the Living Blues Critic's award for Debut Blues Album of the Year. The next four years saw the band release two more albums on Alligator Records; Have Mercy! (1996) and New York State Of Blues (1998). Michael Hill's Blues Mob have appeared at the Chicago Blues Festival and Memphis in May. Their tours have included most of Europe, with five trips each to Brazil and Australia. Michael Hill's Blues Mob released their fourth album, Suite: Larger Than Life in 2001 on Singular Records in the US and Dixiefrog in Europe. This was followed by a concept album, Electric Storyland Live (2003), and the compilation album, Black Gold and Goddesses Bold (2005). New York State Of The Blues  Artist: Michael Hill's Blues Mob Title: New York State Of The Blues Release Date: June 23, 1998 Label: Alligator Records Catalog: ALCD 4858 Barcode: 014551485827 ASIN: B000007O7E Genre: Blues, Modern Electric Blues Duration: 48:31 Amazon.com review by Lars Gandil: You may not have heard Michael Hill, but you should. He is the sound of things to come. Although Hill's explosive guitar playing echoes Buddy Guy and Stevie Ray Vaughn, don't let that fool you; he is very much his own man. Check out his unique slide playing on "A Case of the Blues." There are few who can match Hill's frantic approach with a bottleneck. Michael's interpretation of "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" breathes new life into this seminal favorite. His band, the Mob, would be hard to top. These are three musicians who have definitely got their chops down. They provide a solid foundation for Hill's soaring performances. With "Young Folks' Blues," Michael shows his pride in being a bluesman of the future. And to tell you the truth, in his hands the future looks pretty bright. www.alligator.com: New York State Of Blues is a tour-de-force of tough, inner city scenes, lovers' temptations and blues celebrations co-existing in Hill's guitar drenched, polyrhythmic universe. From the searing opener Long Hot Night (co-written by Vernon Reid) to the prophetic and humorous Young Folks Blues to the reinventions of the Temptations' Papa Was A Rolling Stone and Stevie Wonder's Livin' For The City to the album's closer, the soulful and hopeful Never Give Up On You, Michael Hill's Blues Mob grab their listeners with their every-note-matters musicianship and draw them in with Hill's storytelling skills and his powerful vocals. With their new Alligator release, New York State Of Blues (AL 4858), Michael Hill's Blues Mob continue to blaze a modern blues trail filled with cutting edge tunes and foot-stomping rhythms. Through his original songs (Hill wrote or co-wrote nine of the album's 11 songs) and formidable musicianship, Hill and his band boldly raise the bar for their contemporaries meanwhile raising the roof wherever they play. "Incendiary," shouted Guitar Shop. "A wonderful melting pot of R&B, blues, fusion, reggae, and balls-out heavy rock." But it's not just about the fiery music. "For me," says Hill, "writing is as important as playing guitar. The blues is about telling stories. The guitar playing and musicianship are important as long as they're serving the song or story. The lyrics give the playing and singing something to do."  01. Long Hot Night (4:15) 02. A Case Of The Blues (4:20) 03. Soul Doin' Time (6:01) 04. Young Folks' Blues (3:44) 05.
