“ Gregg Wright King of the Rockin' Blues Left Hook Records: With his program of original songs, bluesman Gregg Wright breathes fire and sizzles eloquently while he tells stories of the way things are and the way they ought to be. Contemporary in his presentation with a powerful band to underscore his skyrocket guitar, Wright holds, nevertheless, to the tradition of blues complaints and an outpouring of emotional wails. "(I'm Makin') Plenty of No Money" tells what it's like to make do in today's economy, "Cry Myself A River" in the depths of despair, "Come and Get It" gives the final answer on a meaningful relationship, and "King of the Rockin' Blues" celebrates Wright's own career with a rhythmic jump step that stretches across all 50 states and beyond. With guests Zac Harmon on guitar and Jimmy Z on harp, Wright sings "I'm My Own Boss Man" for a session high point that carries a powerful message. Guitarist Coco Montoya joins him on "The Politics of Fear" with another message about how to handle yourself in today's "big-brother is always watching" society. Percussionist Munyungo Jackson gives "Tricked by the Devil" a rhythmic landscape that builds another high point for Wright as he sings about what's right and what's not fair. Lester Chambers' soulful blues harp gives "Between Heaven and Hell" a somber outlook that again recalls the earliest form of blues in its contemporary format. Finally, Wright's dedication to the people of New Orleans, "Brick by Brick," helps him explain where feeling belongs in music and how much meaning can be fused into a few aching lyric verses.” - Jim Santella
