Synopsis

Album Description
Let the good times roll!!! Kalamazoo, Mich.-based blues band Loaded Dice has come up a winner on its debut electric blues CD, You Gotta Roll. It?s all here, from sweet, soulful ballads to the hottest blues, blues rock and hoppin? R&B around. The new disc features 15 cuts?11 of them originals?that demonstrate the band?s songwriting ability, vocal prowess and rock-solid musicianship. You Gotta Roll has its roots in early 2001, when Loaded Dice guitarist and singer Mark Schwerin began a musical collaboration with fellow Loaded Dice members Marci Linn and Joe Ferguson. What emerged later that year is a smoking blend of finely crafted songs that run the gamut from deep, dark blues to plaintive love songs and up-tempo Texas shuffles. The band threw in four of its most requested covers, including a bluesed-up version of the Rolling Stones classic Wild Horses, and You Gotta Roll was born
 

CD Reviews

Michigan Blues At It's Finest
peter krampert | eharmonica.net | 11/05/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Loaded Dice has been playing around Michigan since the early 1990's featuring core players Mark Scherwin on guitar, Tom Duffield on piano and Joe Ferguson on harmonica. Add in Bill Wilson on bass, Mark Coulson on drums and singer Marci Linn and you've got yourself one heck of a good-time Blues band.This recording features 100% solid Blues in the urban, electric mode. Most of the songs on this CD were written by the band members with some outstanding covers thrown in for good measure. Their Version of the Rolling Stones "Wild Horses" is especially noteworty. The musicianship is outstanding throughout the album. The individual players stand out without overcrowding each other. Joe Ferguson's harmonica playing shows that he has really studied the master players of the instrument, developing a few cool tricks of his own.This is definitely one group to catch live if you can and worth getting this CD if you can't."
