Synopsis

Product Description

SIDEWALK CAESARS, is the second release by the popular hybrid blues ensemble, Scrapomatic. Spotlighting Derek Trucks Band lead singer Mike Mattison and award winning songwriter Paul Olsen, Scrapomatic's latest album combines the creative elements that have made them a popular act at clubs, festivals, and universities nationwide. SIDEWALK CAESARS furthers the band's distinctive forays into a stunning mixture of blues, soul, and related roots-oriented genres. Anchored by the tight knit rhythm section of Ted Pecchio and Tyler Greenwell, veterans of Susan Tedeschi and Col. Bruce Hampton's bands, and dynamic guitarist Dave Yoke, the album boasts guest sit-ins from Derek Trucks and notable percussionist, Count M Butu. Great bookings in the works, including summer-winter tours with the Trucks-Tedeschi Soul Stew Revival.

CD Reviews

Great album with no limits

Jesse Ofner | Denver, CO | 07/22/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is (after only one listen) right there at my current top. The description is right on. The elements of blues, rock, jazz, country, soul all exist here on this album, and do so in good measure. Mike sounds great as usual. Put this on and your ears will thank you for it!"

A Cloud Going By

Lee Armstrong | Winterville, NC United States | 11/29/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Scrapomatic's "Sidewalk Caesars" is a compelling set that uses the blues as a departure point. "Killing Yourself On Purpose" lopes along with a gentle beat and whirls up a storm, "Throw my ashes in the river; Hang my halo out to dry; Throw my ashes in the river or catch me like a cloud going by." "I Want the Truth" bounces to a subtle throb before exploding with Derek Trucks' stinging lead guitar. "The Fire Next Time" pulses with Tyler Greenwell's slamming percussion on a shuffle that seems like a hybrid between blues & Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks. "I Just Wanna Hang Around With You" jives at full speed on a stellar track, "You can keep the cash, you can keep the stash, you can keep my shepherd too." "Sidewalk Caesars" is an impressive disc well worth seeking out. Enjoy!"
