John’s Blues Picks Nov 2015 – Michael Kaeshammer
Published November 30, 2015 in John's Blues Picks, News
After a long string of albums that attempted to transform him into a middle of the road crooner, Michael Kaeshammer has had enough and has put out an album that features him doing what he does best, play blues piano. The songs are in a kind of suite, with Big Maceo’s effortlessly performed knucklebuster “Chicago Breakdown” leading off. Kaeshammer’s own “Lands End Parade” starts off more slowly with hints of “St. James Infirmary” before the tempo picks up a little, staying in a New Orleans mode however.
