COLLARD GREENS & GRAVY

CD Released 1999

"Ian's soulful vocals, authentic phrasing and effective harp playing are the first thing that impress about this act. But on closer listening we disciver the tight (rhythmically and sonically) playing of James. His style is a lesson in economy of playing and his use of vibrato, which could be a distracton in the hands of a lesser guitarist, brings us memories of those old Excello recordingsof the 1950's. Anthony ofers a wonderful free time to the groove, and his use of the 'djembe' brings a marvellously different perspective to the groove. Rather than anchor the band, his percussion-like playing, rather than strict drumming allows for some excellent interplay......."
John Durr, Black Market Music

Since its release in 1999, this self-titled debut CD has won Album of the Year, Band of the Year and Male Performer of the Year at the Vic /Tas Awards and Best Song and Best Band Awards at the Goulburn Festival Australian Blues Awards.

"Collard Greens and Gravy have tapped into some deep subterranean stream that connects us all to the source of the blues."
Mark Doherty,
Rhythms Magazine

"This is blues with serious intent."
Lee Howard,
Sunday Herald Sun


"reminded me of the eeriness of an early Skip James recording and like the early Delta bluesmen, the lack of a rigid backbeat/rhythm section allowed the feeling to float rather than be 'laid down".
