Jay Gordon & Blues Venom - Woodchoppers Ball (2015)

The new album “Woodchoppers Ball” from this seven time award winner,
Grammy Nominee and Gretsch Guitar endorsed artist is a sharp, raw edged Blues diamond that
combines intriguing lyrics, outstanding musicianship and is a true memorable listening experience.
Seven profound fresh tracks feature artists Sharon Butcher (Bass), Ric Daly, (Drums) , Richie Valens
younger brother Mario Ramirez (Saxophone), Rich Wenzel, (Hammond B3) and Rich Gordon (Drums)
in different combinations.
There are five re-mastered Blues jewels hand picked from Jay Gordon's
previous releases that add a certain and honest depth to this new release. Stacked together, the
twelve Blues cuts are a clear example of Jay Gordon's and Blues Venom's no nonsense approach to
making exceptional Blues Rock.
The opening offering “The Stinger” is an off the bat, eye-opening rocker. Gordon's electric guitar
work and lyrics drives home to the listener that he is a Blues guitar slinging Bluesman and that is what he was always meant to be. Jay Gordon has the Blues coursing through his veins and is a real
“Stinger” with relentless fret work talent .
