MAKE A MOVE WITH THE HILL COUNTRY REVUE

HILL COUNTRY REVUE - Make A Move

One word for ya..JAMMTASTIC! HILL COUNTRY REVUE'S (HCR) debut album, "Make A Move", is oh so much better than I could have imagined.

Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars (NMAS) has put together a group of blues musicians that kick major blues ass. Fellow NMAS member Chris Chew on bass, Kirk Smithhart on guitar, Ed "Hot" Cleveland on drums and Dixie Dan Coburn belting out the tunes.

The majority of the album was written by Garry Burnside the youngest son of R.L. and Alice Mae Burnside. So growing up a Burnside and hanging with Junior Kimbrough has evidently rubbed off on his music chops.

The whole record has a great vibe, there is definitely a NMAS sound but HCR leans more toward the Allman Bros sound.

This album starts off with "Alice Mae" a good ol fashioned dirt blues tune right out of the NMAS repertoire. A few songs later your ears will be delighted with the tune "You Can Make It", this track could double as an Allman's tune, straight up with Duane-esque guitar licks. Then later on in the record they put a finishing touch on the whole thing with the down and dirty songs "Georgia Women" and "Ramblin'".

Man I dig this record. If you like good blues/southern rock then you need to check this out. If you are a NMAS fan you will not be disappointed.

Once again my friends...JAMMTASTIC!
