Lucky to Be Living

CD Details

Dave Riley and Bob Corritores sophomore album, Lucky To Be Living, is a natural progression of the duos five-year musical and personal relationship that developed out of the Deep South. The duo plays powerful down home blues deeply rooted in the Mississippi and Chicago styles that represent Riley and Corritores respective upbringings. Their instinctive blues chemistry and enduring friendship prompts wild, fun and enthusiastic performances. Rileys raspy Mississippi voice, articulate down home blues guitar, and rowdy, personable, original songs combine with Corritore’s passionate, blues seasoned, full-toned harmonica for an engaging performance that entertains both the blues novice and the seasoned listener. Highly celebrated and world traveled with many festival appearances under their belts, Riley and Corritores debut album, Travelin The Dirt Road, released in September 2007, received much critical acclaim. Also produced by Bob Corritore, Lucky To Be Living continues in the same traditional vein upholding the tradition of the legendary Jelly Roll Kings with four Riley originals as well as songs by Rileys friends, Frank Frost, John Weston and Fred James.
