ONE
EYE OPEN:
LIVE AT ROSA'S LOUNGE, CHICAGO [CD]
"De absolute
aanrader (absolutely recommended). … This
is the CD and DVD of the year 2005."
– BACK TO THE ROOTS MAGAZINE (BELGIUM, 2006)
"For a big band,
the ensemble proves to be a precision live instrument,
well-rehearsed and nimble … the real stars
remain Lacocque, one of the best harp players working,
and singer Visor, who has the volume and stage presence
to rehabilitate that much-abused term 'diva'."
– BLUES REVUE, VOL. 99 (2006)
"Lacocque's inspiration
and experience shine brightly. He's the kind of
harp player that weaves in and out of a tune with
sensitivity and panache. … The ensemble work
is so incredible. The band, powerhouse Inetta Visor,
and special guest guitarist Lurrie Bell all click
like crazy. Need some real deal? This is it …
– HITTIN' THE NOTE (ISSUE 49, 2006)
"ONE EYE OPEN
– LIVE AT ROSA'S LOUNGE had to be one of the
best parties thrown in Chicago this last year. I'm
just sorry I missed it."
– BLUES BYTES (DEC 2005)
"Lacocque is
a fantastic lyrical and soulful harmonica player,
fluid and articulate. Mississippi Heat is decidedly
original, funky, soulful, and unique. … When
Inetta strides onto the stage, all bets are off.
She exudes sweat and soul … Pierre bounds
into the spaces organically right and tastefully
smooth, with just enough edge to roundhouse your
heart and the 1,2 punch of Max (Valldeneu) and Lurrie
(Bell)'s axe work and gutbucket vocals delivers
the coup de grace. "
– LONG ISLAND BLUES SOCIETY
"…classic-sounding
Chicago blues based largely on Lacocque's menacing
harp … the show is absolutely stolen, crushed,
and melted down by Inetta Visor."
– BOSTON HERALD
"Lacocque plays
with a gentle under current but don't let that fool
you. When he needs to tear the place up, he has
more than enough talent to do it. The current incarnation
of Mississippi Heat is a force to be reckoned with.
… The real stars are the band itself. Traditional
Chicago blues with a twist that makes it fresh and
fun."
– WEST MICHIGAN BLUES SOCIETY (FEB 2006) |
