Sean Carberry and/or his work in the News The Mercy Brothers in the Providence Phoenix
The Experts Comment on Carberry's Work We had a great engineer, Sean Carberry. He nailed it. Mike and I talked to him and told him how we wanted this record to sound--no close miking on the drums, everything to sound like you can hear the room. This old record sound. He knew right away... Everybody was happy with this one.--Dave Haley of Two Bones and a Pick in The Boston Blues News Money Road, the big label debut for Boston's Radio Kings, is already in contention for my pick for album of the year... there's no way this band won't be courting serious favor come Handy and Grammy time.--Big City Blues By playing hard and tough on Money Road [The Radio Kings] avoided making another mediocre album and come up with perhaps the best revivalist rock since the Blasters busted up... It's the kind of edgy, believable performance the band couldn't quite muster on disc in the past.--Ted Drozdowski, The Boston Phoenix Tedeschi's debut Tone-Cool release, Just Won't Burn, features a refreshingly eclectic mix of blues and blues rooted ballads and pop tunes... Tedeschi's debut CD captures the excitement of her live performance, which is always at the heart of the blues. This is partly due to the excellent backing she has, both recorded and in live performance...--Bob Vorel, Blues Review I think the record overall came out great, and I'm really happy with it because it captured the band that I had been touring with for a long time... That's really what I wanted to accomplish...--Susan Tedeschi from Alan Scully's article in FW Weekly The album (Butter Up 'N' Go!) is a blend of obscure classics and unique originals. The music is vibrant and reverent at the same time. The sound on this album is so immediate that you feel like you're standing in the studio with the band. The recording has all the energy and honesty of a classic from Howlin' Wolf or Muddy Waters...--JAM Music Magazine [Two Bones and a Pick] really nail every cut on this release... Guitarist Dave Haley's fluid, energetic and tasteful playing always shines whether he's interpreting the jazzy jump of Tiny Grimes or coming up with Cobra Records tones. . .there is not a weak cut to be heard here, and the production is terrific--the results rival or surpass many of the bigger blues label offerings of late.--Tom Wright, Blues Audience [3Ball] make for a formidable group and flex their hefty musical muscles on this finely crafted 12-song disc. Their contemporary hard-edged sound is fueled by Cohan's flawless drumming, Mays' throbbing bass lines, Barile's classy horn lines and Ketterrer's quirky vocals and searing six-string blasts. With influences that range from local favorites The Velcro Peasants and Morphine to international superstar David Bowie, this band is poised to take the new millennium by storm.--Douglas Sloan, Metronome It's been a long time coming, but [Four Piece Suit's] second album is every bit as classy as their first--and perhaps even more accessible through its variety and quality of material. For a four piece band they sure make a lot of sounds... Superb production and great arrangements give the impression of a much larger outfit at times... Overall it has such a great feeling: it swings, it has rhythm, and most of all it has the kind of smooth cohesion that simply makes you feel comfortable with it. --Pipeline
