Getaway...from this CD!

"I am a fan of Corey Stevens, and currently own all three of his releases. I truly enjoyed Blue Drops of Rain, and Road To Zen wasn't too bad either. However, Getaway was rather disappointing to me. Corey has veered away from his Blues style with this CD, and does not showcase his guitar talents. I think that the lyrics were rather boring and unmoving, and I lost interest in this album's sound. However, I think that he has improved upon his vocals. With the exception of one song..."Twilight Zone", I think this album needs to Getaway from your CD collection."

Abandoning the Blues

"Corey's first release "Blue Drops Of Rain" was a great blues record no matter if he sounded like SRV. He could have done worse and he did by abandoning the blues with his next two records. This one is basically a weak poprock record with a few twists that keep you listening for a while but then the novelty wears off. Please Corey, go back to doing what you do best, the blues."

Corey Stevens is brilliant as usual

"I just got the new CD Getaway and love it already! The songs that stand out for me are "Mean and Lean," "Mindless Rock," and "You Can't Blame Me." Corey is such a talented guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter. This disc has a little different sound from his first two, but it's every bit as great. I highly recommend Blue Drops of Rain and Road to Zen also. If you like good rockin' tunes with a definite blues influence and sound, you should check out Corey Stevens."

Is that all?

"After getting through the heavy Stevie-Ray, and Clapton sounds of "Blue Drops...", I thought Corey found his own voice on "Road to Zen". This is a 180 away from that. It's not bad music, although a little thin, it's just non-descript. Instead of relying on Corey's guitar prowess and vocal power, this album tries to cover bored and thin songs with heavy production. Too bad, I really like this guy."

One of the best Bluesmen ever!!!!!

"Corey Stevens is one of the most original Bluesmen around right now. He continues to push the envelope on each record. Stevens knows no musical boundaries. Instead of putting out stale old cover songs like most bands these days, the majority of Stevens music is original music he wrote himself. Stevens has more integrity than any of this "new" generation of people trying to play Blues. Corey Stevens has staying power, he's been in the business for many years, and there's a reason for that, because he is a true blue Bluesman, who's music is real. Corey Stevens is keeping the blues BLUE. I stand behind every record he makes because I can recognize true genius, true talent when I hear it. Stevie Ray Vaughan & Corey Stevens are the ONLY white Bluesmen I listen to. I think that says alot that I give them the honor of being in the same category of Bluesmen like Albert King, Buddy Guy, BB King, Freddie King, Robert Johnson, Elmore James, etc. Corey Stevens is every bit as much of a Bluesman as they all are. Stevens lives and breathes the Blues. Don't believe any of the negative reviews you see on here, just buy this record now, and you too will hear this is true! In a 100 years from now Corey Stevens will be remembered as one of the Legends of Blues, he will be talked about in the same sentences mentioning the Kings of the Blues. If you are not yet a fan of Stevens, buy this CD and you will be, and if by chance after that you're somehow not, then my friend you are tone deaf. Corey Stevens is one of the best! Your Blues CD collection is not complete until you have each one of his records in it! This will be one of the best purchases you make!"
