The Resonators’ New CD is out! We recorded this CD in response to the requests we’ve received at the Dunedin Farmer’s Market, and the disc is a selection of the songs that we play on those Saturday mornings. You can get yourself a copy at any Resonators or King Leo & The Growling Dogs show and of course most Saturday mornings at the Dunedin Farmers Market.

Here’s a track listing, with info about each song:

1. Don’t Go No Farther (2:57)

4. Nothing You Can Do (2:36)

   This one Leo wrote several years ago. It has a Blues rhumba feel.

5. Ah’ Baby (2:50)

   This Little Walter song has a different feel than many straight-ahead Blues tunes because of its rapidly-picked guitar lines. We love Little Walter not only for his great harmonica playing and singing, but also the many different types of Blues grooves his songs offered.

6. I Want You to Love Me (3:41)

   A Muddy Waters song with a similar feel to his “Mannish Boy and Hoochie Coochie Man”

7. Every Day I Have the Blues (1:35)

   A classic Memphis Slim tune, made famous by B.B. King. We love swing Blues, and this is an example.

8. Big Boss Man (3:22)

   This is the Jimmy Reed Blues standard. The chugging train feel really makes it move.

9. Keg O’ Dynamite (2:53)

   This is another of Leo’s original songs and the title of the cd he recorded with the band Chicago Skinny a few years back.

10. What Your Mama Feed You (3:25)

    Another of Leo‘s tunes, this was written after noticing the increasing height of the younger generation.

11. Money, Marbles and Chalk (3:22)

    This is a Jimmy Rogers tune from his LP Chicago Bound, one of the Blues’ best records. Money and marbles (brains) we can explain, but chalk is up to you.

12. You’re the One (2:52)

    Another Jimmy Rogers number - Jimmy was the guitarist sideman for Muddy Waters in the early 50s. Jimmy played on some of Muddy’s best-loved music of the period.
