The Blue News - Wartime Songs EP Album Review

Hailing from the Midwest, The Blue News are quickly working their way up the ladder to success, with the same formula of artists like The Black Keys, My Morning Jacket, and even a simplistic, early White Stripes. The stripped down, gritty, in-your-face blues with a touch of honey in the softer parts are gaining The Blue News more popularity by the month.

With the release of their newest EP Wartime Blues, The Blue News lay down the foundation for success in their sludgy riffs and raspy, crooning lyrics straight from the mold of classic blues masters. Two upbeat numbers start off the EP with a nice pace while the sludgy riffs catch hold of the listener. They cater to blues fans' craving for emotional and jagged riffs to go along with the solid percussion, which holds up the song structure and fills out its edges nicely.

"Hypnotized" is arguably the best sounding and catchiest song on the EP as far as all around production goes; it sounds like something right out of the Black Keys catalogue, not that this is a bad thing or makes them unoriginal, because they give their own twist on each song. One notable quality is their ability to change the tone and pitch of the lyrical range from grungy and raspy to a clean croon with a touch of honey in each chorus.

"Hitman Blues" has a classic blues feel to it, medium-paced with just enough crunch between the guitar and drums to draw the listener in with a head bang, then turn around and send them shuffling to the dance floor. Also a notable plus found within the EP is the production value. While it's not Danger Mouse production (The Black Keys), the quality is surprisingly good for an EP by an up-and-coming band. Each element of the instrumentation is heard clearly and concisely, while the lyrics blend in nicely over the top, allowing the switch between rhythm guitar and solos to fill out the rest of the sound.

"Stay Gone for Good" and "Be Yourself (And You'll Go Far)" round out this six song EP, which seems longer, but maybe that's just me. "Stay Gone for Good" kicks into high gear right off the start and provides one of the faster paced songs on the album. Evening out for the verse, it kicks back into high gear for each chorus, folding neatly into a really nice riff, keeping the song driving toward its apex.

"Be Yourself" is a friendly, acoustic track in the mold of Led Zeppelin III, which brings the EP to a soft close and rounds out a number of blues driven tracks with a laid back, comfortable number.

The Blue News are clearly on the track toward great heights. Already, their songs are gaining steam and being played on TV shows as we speak. They are a refreshing blend of classic blues and rock with elegant song structures. Again, like The Black Keys and to some degree The White Stripes, The Blue News stick to the formula they know well, conjuring up enough gritty riffs and emotional tonal changes, all while containing that stripped down feeling to successfully drown the listener in the most classic form of the blues.

]]> Tue, 16 Aug 2011 16:29:00 +0000 ADN-BG-3EF567C357178563 91.5 FM WLUR - New Review http://feeds.artistdata.com/a-AR-V8EB1UB7Q5HD6GG3/ADN-BG-3AB26FC341077977 Blog entry by

(Thanks to Jeremy at 91.5FM WLUR Radio in Lexington, Virginia.)
http://wlurradio.blogspot.com/2011/08/blue-news.html

"The Indiana duo The Blue News' muddy blues rock makes them sound like a rawer version of The Black Keys. The band claims a wide range of influences, including the Keys, Robert Johnson, Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers, and even R&B legends like Marvin Gaye and Al Green. "Hypnotized" is a good, poppy song, while I'd also recommend "Two Lovers" for a stronger dose of the blues."

The Blue News is turning to their blues roots with an upcoming album which is exclusively original blues songs. The new album will feature a compilation of songs from past studio albums along with several never-before-heard, brand-spankin’-new, previously unreleased, original songs! Now that’s a lot of adjectives! Listeners can expect to hear influences from across the blues spectrum including Delta Blues, Chicago Blues, West Coast Blues, Texas Blues and more.  Current fans can expect to hear this new perspective of the band which still promises to retain their unique approach to songwriting. Consider the upcoming album a dedication to the roots of American blues music and a bold step in a new direction. 

The decision comes on the heels of the latest album release “Wartime Songs” – a six song EP recorded by Jim Devito at Retrophonics Studio in St. Augustine, FL and mixed with famed producer Sylvia Massy at RadioStar Studios in Weed, CA. Jim Devito has earned a reputation over the years by recording The Allman Brothers, Tom Petty, Lynyrd Skynrd and Sylvia Massy worked with Rick Rubin in the 90’s and has worked in the studio on several multi-platinum albums including Johnny Cash, Tool and Red Hot Chili Peppers. After building a following and an impressive resume’ which includes five national tv placements, video game placements – The Blue News has made strides over the past 5 years with their self-produced original blues rock sound. There have always been overtones of the blues, including more “traditional” blues tracks scattered on their studio albums, but the band admittedly has never focused on being a straightforward “blues band”. The time has finally come to pay homage to their largest influence. Look for the new album “Best of the Blues” to be released in the coming days and don’t forget your copy of “Wartime Songs”!
A few more things about this upcoming album – we’ll be submitting the album for the Blues Awards and the Indiana Blues Society will submit “Best of the Blues” to be considered for “Best Self-Produced Blues CD”!  The band will also perform many of the songs from the new album at The Slippery Noodle Inn in Indianapolis, IN on October 16 in the 2011 Blues Challenge! Wish us luck and we hope to see you there!

About the "Hey Jude" album by The Beatles:

Hey Jude (original title: The Beatles Again) is a collection of non-album Beatles singles and B-sides, as well as "I Should Have Known Better" and
"Can't Buy Me Love", two singles released by Capitol Records whose only previous American album appearance had been on the A Hard Day's Night soundtrack album. Until the release of 1967-1970 in 1973, Hey Jude was the only way to own the extremely popular "Hey Jude" single on LP or in a stereo mix. It is currently out of print.

All Music Review:
Kind of a catch-all record, Hey Jude was released very late in the Beatles' career, and it collects several singles and B-sides that never made it onto "official" albums. As a record though, it works quite well, and given the Beatles' genius, especially in the area of creating exquisite and ultra-progressive singles, it comes as no surprise. "Paperback Writer" works
particularly well, not having aged at all in the three years after its release. The bass guitar sound on this record is especially revolutionary. A couple of tracks, "Old Brown Shoe" and "The Ballad of John and Yoko,"make their vinyl debut here, and as usual give the consumer excellent value for the money. "Old Brown Shoe" (originally slated for Joe Cocker to record) is one of George Harrison's great lost classics.
