Music Review: The Homemade Jamz Blues Band Pay Me No Mind - Page 3

No, wow they're amazing for their age, or any other qualifier that you might think of, because they are, simply put, a good Blues band. They have a feel for the music, and the touch to play any style that they put their minds to. From the hard driving rock tinged of "Voodoo Woman" with its echoes of Jimi Hendrix style Blues, to the slow molasses sound of deep south electric Blues of "The World's Sure Been Good To You," they sound great.

Anybody who thinks that The Homemade Jamz Blues Band is merely another novelty act along the lines of the teeny-pop bands that are churned out like processed food are in for, not just a pleasant surprise, but a shock. These three young people are not only assured musicians, they play a brand of Blues music that is as authentic and passionate as any I've heard played. Pay Me No Mind might be the name of their first CD, but if they keep playing music this good, people are going to be minding them for a long time to come.

    The added bonus of youth is that they have lots of time to refine and improve.

    As for trios, I totally disagree. If you have the RIGHT trio, you can get a whole lotta sound. Sound with major depth. Just sayin'.
