Hi Folks. 

United we stand! This great tune was written by Peter Corrigan of Blues Noir, blues writer magnifique! Tony produced their CD "What I Am" which went on to receive outstanding reviews (one of which is posted in our BIO section!) Tony also played TUBA on a tune. I had the privilege of being a guest vocalist on cut #13 - "One Red Rose". We had a lot of fun the day we recorded it. Hope you enjoy it. 

“What I Am” Album Review By Pamela Polston Seven Days Vermont 

"BLUES NOIR, WHAT I AM”- “The blues has little competition in the Sexiest Music Department; there's something about that slinking, slow grind, the steady-driving boogie that heads straight for the first chakra and plays the devil. On "One Red Rose,"... the inspired choice to invite vocalist Janelle Donovan just makes me want to hear more of her. The song is an achingly slow grind, and she wrenches the most out of her too-short turn at the mic.”

Keep it bouncy!

Love

Janelle
