about

"Did someone scrawl Susie Blue's name on the wall for a good time? This lady's a hoot, hitting the juke joints with Howard Levy and Eric Schneider with 16 retro R&B beauties. She's got a twinkle in her eye as she get's sassy, who let her off her leash?" - George Harris, Jazz Weekly

SUSIE BLUE & the Lonesome Fellas/Blue Train: Chicago’s unabashed gal rolls out the carpet for cutting a rug one more time and proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that she never intended to be a novelty act. Scooping up all manner of roots flavors, everything might be delivered with a wink but it’s not the kind of wink that let’s you know you’re in on a joke. Always sexy and sassy, this is the sound of rent parties that get started late at night and carry on until early in the morning. Turn on those blue lights in the basement and let one of the tightest sounds around wrap itself around you - Chris Spector, Midwest Record

"Now you might wonder how Susie & the Fella's could follow their AWA Award winning 'Bye Bye Blues' swing album? Well here's the answer - 16 hot and cool, swaggering, staggering tracks recorded with care & authenticity.

Originals sit easily with new readings of old favourites from the 50's & 60's, covers of almost forgotten gems by Janis Martin & Ruth Brown ... It's music to make you croon & swoon and maybe even take you back a few years, and it's an album that will be a firm favourite on my playlists in the coming year.

This is 2022 & Susie Blue & The Lonesome Fella's have their eyes on the future - more awards & acclaim await, take this album home & you'll hear why!" - Noel Casey, 'After Midnight' 103.2 Dublin City FM

"Susie Blue and the Lonesome Fellas always takes me on a fantastic musical journey. I have been a fan for many years and they blend a lot of different genres and eras - Jazz, Western Swing, Honky Tonk, or as is the case with this new album - Rockabilly! I found myself totally immersed in every note and every lyric of this release because they built a strong bridge between the styles of yesterday's music, transporting it to the forefront of today. They are not content to merely recreate the past but are inventive within the style of a song, adding to the music's legacy and giving it a fresh shine for a whole new audience to discover. The arrangements are truly organic led by award-winning musicians like Harmonica virtuoso Howard Levy, Saxophonist Eric Schneider and guitarist Neal Alger who use their own creative license to forge the unique foundation for the sublime vocals that Susie lays down.
There's a mix of original material here, like "Blue Train" written by LA songwriter Mel Harker, plus stellar songs brought back from the late 1950s and 60s like Ruth Brown's "Lucky Lips" and "Big Sweet Baby", the latter featuring killer harmonica and saxophone solos.
So I invite you to grab a drink, put this disc in the player, sit back and relish the ambiance." - Scott Wikle, My Kind of Country
