Alligator
Stew
CD - 'welcome to Monticello...LIVE!!!'

Alligator Stew
is one mean machine when it comes
to their music. Every CD they have ever put out there has been a
spectacular piece of work. Except for one thing, each CD goes beyond
superceding the last. Just as I think they can't do any better than this,
they throw one my way that totally puts me in awe-ville......'welcome
to Monticello' is a live version that you can hear and feel the
energy, stamina and excitement that Alligator Stew is feeding their
audience. And they are loving it!! This is the hottest sounding cd I
have heard, and being a live recording, makes it even more HOT and
EXCITING to hear.
There is not one bad tune on this CD, and I totally 150% recommend that
you go out and get your copy today....This is the best CD ever, the
vocals, instruments, songwriting, sound, engineering is fantastic.
I am so totally impressed with the A.S. team of musicians that I am going
to take some time to share my own thoughts and feelings on this fantastic
group of fine artists. Gary Jefferies has vocals that chills
you to the bone. His raspy tones - wide level ranges combined with is
sensual vocals will definitely pull you in. This is one of those artist
that you  could
talk about forever. Jefferies has it altogether and has a technique all
his own. And on that note I will add that other singers/artists could
absolutely learn from this spectacular performer. John Andrews
is the professional on the lap steel guitar, that every time he strikes a
note - chills run up and down your spine. A.S. definitely has the #1 lap
steel guitar player on their team of musicians. Chris Turbis
is totally responsible for the dyn-o-mite Hammond B3/keyboard sounds.
Chris must know his instrument better than he knows the back of his hand.
He would have to in order to play so intensely as he does. Alligator Stew
has the best Rhythm section in the music industry, and that consists of
TC
Markle burning his hot stiks up playing those solid-in the pocket
drum action beats. Doug Richardson comes in with that killer
groovin' bass guitar action that just goes and goes and goes and then
well, Doug just keeps on going........excellent bass player. With a mix of
musicians like the A.S. you can only end up with some of the hottest, most
loved music around.
Heres the most difficult part of this review and that is to list some
favorite songs, with Alligator Stew it's always impossible to do
so. But here's a few: 'Louisiana Man' - between the vocals and
instruments, the sound just keeps you going and going......'Shiner'
is a laid back, down and dirty blues with that famous A.S. kicker.......'Blood
Money' is my all time favorite, so matter how many times I listen to
this tune, it affects me the same way, chills to the bone, grabs you by
the heart and just pulls you in.....Make sure you listen for yourself at
