The new album “Woodchoppers Ball” from this seven time award winner, Grammy Nominee and Gretsch Guitar endorsed artist is a sharp, raw edged Blues diamond that ombines intriguing lyrics, outstanding musicianship and is a true memorable listening experience.
Seven profound fresh tracks feature artists Sharon Butcher (Bass), Ric Daly, (Drums) , Richie Valens younger brother Mario Ramirez (Saxophone), Rich Wenzel, (Hammond B3) and Rich Gordon (Drums) in different combinations.
There are five re-mastered Blues jewels hand picked from Jay Gordon's previous releases that add a certain and honest depth to this new release. Stacked together, the twelve Blues cuts are a clear example of Jay Gordon's and Blues Venom's no nonsense approach to making exceptional Blues Rock.
The opening offering “The Stinger” is an off the bat, eye-opening rocker. Gordon's electric guitar ork and lyrics drives home to the listener that he is a Blues guitar slinging Bluesman and that is what he was always meant to be. Jay Gordon has the Blues coursing through his veins and is a real “Stinger” with relentless fret work talent.
