JACKIE PAYNE STEVE EDMONSON BAND "OVERNIGHT SENSATION" Source: Blues.pl Date: 07/2008 Writer: Przemek Draheim

Good music doesn’t get better than that. Jackie Payne & Steve Edmonson give us the best of both worlds, blues and soul, that is. Jackie’s voice is soulful and sensual, bringing to mind the era of classic soul singers who could make every song their own. Steve’s guitar on the other hand is pure blues, it has a beautiful tone and stings like a bee, without being overplayed. It’s so cool to have both of those qualities on one album, let alone one song. Speaking of songs – Jackie can write down some memorable lyrics and even when he is talking about cliché-like blues school he makes it sound interesting. Together with a super tight band and some tasty horn riffs “Overnight Sensation” should bring them more than one award at the end of the year! These guys are masters of the game.
