TK MUSIC - New Release - UPTOWN BLUES PARTY!!

A while back TK Music approached Nelsen to have his version of Big Mamou put on a compilation CD - the CD titled "The Uptown Blues Party" includes some amazing Blues Artists - and is put together by a DJ in Baltimore who goes by the name of TK - While TK describes Nelsen like this: "Nelsen Adelard with his West Coast Blues team put forward what I believe is a glimpse into the future of the Blues" The best way Nelsen could describe TK was "He just loves music"

TK Music adequately describes the release like this:

"The Uptown Blues Party dispels the blues' stereotypes and wins over the wary. These blues are different because the tunes are blues-based in genres that go beyond the blues to rockabilly, R & B, and alternative blues. It's upbeat, lively, party-minded music that stirs you up and leaves you frothy. Just the kind I like to give you for your Friday-night moods."

If you get a chance check TK MUSIC out at : www.tksmusic.com or on myspace at: www.myspace.com/tkonmyspace

TK and people like him make great strides in reminding others that:

The Blues are alive and well

JULY 2007 -

New CD from Blue Track Records.

Blues Still Got A Hold On Me   

On August 1st Blue Track Records will release a Nelsen Adelard recording.  The "new release" is actually his first solo CD. Originally released in 1999 on then fledgling label J Bird Records, Blues Got A Hold On Me was recorded in two different studios in Los Angeles, but has the feel of a live album. The songs were written for the original West Coast band, (John Duzik, Steve Gabil, and Rick Arbuckle) and continue to be a staple for any of his live shows.

Two original cuts from this album “Don’t Stop Now” and “Gotta Boogie” have appeared on his recent release “Nelsen Adelard Unplugged” ( #10 on the Living Blues Charts) and recently found new life on Bill Wax’s Bluesville on XM Radio.

Also featured is the classic “Black & Blue” which Nelsen lends his own style of lead guitar to, as well as the Blues Ballad “Give It One More Try” Both are standards of his live shows.

Another familiar song to Nelsen’s fans is the original cut of “Blues Got A Hold On Me” which was later covered on acoustic guitar and harp at the end of Nelsen’s “Take Me Back” album.

Re-Mastered by the engineering wizard Richard Robinson, this CD sounds better than ever and as fresh as the day it was first pressed.

As of August 1st you can purchase the new CD at www.nelsenadelard.com  or  www.cdbaby.com
