Blue Mama - Pacific Street

Blues and Roots music that goes down as easy as a shot of Black Label, Pacific Street is Blue Mama's newest melding of rock, folk, R&B, country, and roadhouse blues. Like Little Feat, the Grateful Dead and the other band-obvious points of reference - this sextet is boundless in sounds and styles. With each member contributing vocals, stellar chops and original material, they're quite an aural democracy. Acoustic and electric guitars, harp, drums, and bass generate this palette of blues with varied influences and a plenty good collective sense of humor. They sort of sound like The Band at times, (an easy going California sound). Special kudos to Marty "Cadillac" McPhee for achieving a mean harmonica sound.
