Album Description

It's been over 40 years since harmonicist/pianist/vocalist Corky Siegel and guitarist/vocalist Jim Schwall met as college students and formed The Siegel-Schwall Band, one of Chicago's most beloved blues groups. From the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s, The Siegel-Schwall Band recorded ten critically acclaimed albums, toured relentlessly, and shared stages with artists such as The Allman Brothers, Janis Joplin, and Jefferson Airplane. Their subtle, acoustic-flavored blues, original songs and inventive interpretations of classics by Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon and other blues greats were their calling card, fusing urban blues and folk into their own unique sound. In addition to their recordings, the band was renowned for their high energy, good-time live shows. They played to adoring audiences all over the U.S., which prompted Billboard magazine in 1966 to call The Siegel-Schwall Band "the latest addition to the list of great South Side performers that has included Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Chuck Berry." In 1968, they defied boundaries by combining blues and classical music with their unprecedented performance of Three Pieces For Blues Band And Symphony Orchestra with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and established themselves as one of the most adventurous bands around. The Siegel-Schwall Band went on hiatus in 1974, and while band members pursued other interests and solo projects, they never stopped playing music

Flash Forward rekindles The Siegel-Schwall Band magic as Corky, Jim, Rollo and Sam share the spotlight on 13 new songs. From Sam's straight-ahead blues shuffle "Afraid of Love" to the politically charged humor of Jim's "Underqualified Blues" to Corky's playful blues tango Twisted, and the edgy lament of Rollo's "Krazy," Flash Forward is an infectious, joyful listen from beginning to end.

The Chicago Tribune proclaimed, "The news that The Siegel-Schwall Band is back together is something to celebrate." And so is Flash Forward, The Siegel-Schwall Band's new CD, and their first full album of new material in 30 years. Flash Forward picks up right where they left off.

given as a gift to a blues expert and he loved it!!

WOW!!!!.......2005-11-02

All I have to say is wow! My friends stumbled upon the Siegel-Schwall Band in a record store a while back and now we're all hooked. These guys sound like they're just having a good ol' time making music. They would be a great band even if the music wasn't phenomenal.

flash forward/siegel-schwall band.......2005-09-24

it's not that this is a bad cd, but I remember them as being much more inovative in the 70's

laidback, smooth, and genuine blues songs .......2005-09-12

For the unacquainted, it's better to know the players involved to fully understand the music of the Siegel-Schwall Band. Though not as renowned in all circles, the predominantly white band was brewing Chicago-style blues at just about the same time the Paul Butterfield Blues Band was doing it. They opened for the likes of Quicksilver Messenger Service in the '60s, played the Fillmore West, and were an omnipresent force in '70s Chicago.

Formed in the mid-'60s by harpist Corky Siegel and guitarist Jim Schwall, their self-titled first album was released in 1966. They were known for amazing covers such as Jimmy Reed's `Going To New York' and Howlin' Wolf's `Shake For Me', among titles of their own, like Corky Siegel's `Angel Food Cake' and Jim Schwall's `You Don't Love Me Like That'.

Flash Forward is the Siegel-Schwall Band's first studio release in thirty years, marking it a milestone for fans, to say the least. The lineup is still Siegel and Schwall, along with longtime bassist, Rollo Radford, who joined the band in the early seventies. Add in former Howlin Wolf and Paul Butterfield drummer, Sam Lay, and you've got the `Flash Forward' version of the Siegel-Schwall Band.

Though it may not be for everyone, true blues fans, especially Siegel-Schwall fans of old, will love the laidback, smooth, and genuine blues songs on Flash Forward. It's a blues collage, proving to all that they're a very different and innovative band.

Siegel-Schwall returns, with a warm vibe .......2005-08-17

With "Flash Forward," The Siegel-Schwall Band releases its first album of new studio recordings in 31 years.

Despite the title, the band serves notice from the top that its Chicago blues sound and sense of humor both remain intact with the kickoff shout from Corky Siegel's harmonica and the line "If I don't tell you I love you, you should kick me in the shin."

Highlights include "Afraid of Love," the song quoted above, written by Siegel and sung by drummer Sam Lay; Siegel's "Twisted," a first cousin to his 1970 classic "I Don't Want You to Be My Girl"; and Lay's "Going Back to Alabama," which injects country blues changes on the guitar into a full band setting.

Guitarist Jim Schwall grabs his mandolin and hops in his Geo Metro for the Old-Timey romp "On the Road" and has some fun with a too-literal reading of the Bible in "Hey Leviticus." A not-so-subtle dig at George W. Bush, Schwall's down-and-dirty "The Underqualified Blues" recalls the band's "I Won't Hold My Breath" and "Out-a-Gas?" from the `70s and features perhaps the grungiest solo he's ever recorded.

The album's real gem, however, is bass player Rollo Radford's surprising jazz song, "Pauline," which features perhaps the sweetest, most melodic playing Schwall has ever recorded.

Fans of 1973's "953 West," in particular, should feel a warm vibe listening to "Flash Forward," but, really, any fan of Siegel-Schwall should rejoice at hearing this smart, fresh set of new songs.

Customer Reviews:

TRACY YOUNG IS THE S**T.......2006-05-11

This is the second CD I've bought by Ms. Young (the first was "DanceCulture"). I was a little rough on my first review and although I tried to submit another one, I couldn't.

I plan to make up for that so-so review with this review, so here goes: It doesn't get any better than this! When you live in podunk USA (as I do), anytime you can get your hands on music like this it's, well, like a gift from the heavens! The majority of people in this town have NEVER heard music like this or, if they have, they will label it "disco". Too funny. I love music that is mixed to flow one into the other and although I just got the CD yesterday, I've already just about worn it out. Very few male DJs can keep my interest in their mixes, because I've got their CDs collecting dust in my CD rack. Tracy Young delivers the goods in spades. I love every selection on this CD; however, my personal favorites are "Rapido", "Shine", and "I Believe in We".

I don't care what anyone says: this CD kicks ass. I can't wait until her other CDs arrive in the mail! I HIGHLY recommend this one!

Not enough umph.......2005-04-26

While there are a couple of standout tracks on here, the tribal and vocal mix becomes very routine, never reaching any outstanding peaks, and just sort of thumps along after a while. It's not a bad collection if you want to get your hands on a couple of rare mixes. Standout tracks for me include: Wishing You Were here, the rare Tracy Young remix of Gloria Estefan, the incredible Tracy Young mix of Cyndi Lauper, and the final track, Believe in We. Track times are mostly rather short also, but there are some pretty long versions:


1. wishing you were here (6:59)
2. That feeling (4:47)
3. Rapido (5:32)
4. wrapped (7:03)
5. Hum melody (3:43)
6. feels so hot (6:02)
7. Ferosh (6:55)
8. get back to the music (4:13)
9. drums (6:33)
10. Shine (9:15)
11. sexercise (5:34)
12. Jadore (4:09)
13. Believe in we (9:02)

Tracy Young is a VERY GOOD DJ..........2004-10-06

Regardless of the slack that Tracy has gotten for being a female DJ, it makes one wonder why, men, have such an issue with her music and perception of it. Tracy Young has a flair and a style that most people can't compare to. Come on people, life isn't always a peak hour event and an afterhour party. This CD has got to be one of the marvels of 2003. Personally got this CD signed by Tracy Young in Boston at Machine earlier this year. START TO FINISH, Tracy has blissful taste and a mixing talent like no other. Next marvel of 2004, check out JAM & SPOON TRIPOMATIC FAIRYTALES 3003, if you can get your hands on it.

Music is the Answer.............2004-10-03

Not only is this CD one of the Best continual mixed dance music compilations out there right now, it also supports Care Resource and all of those in the battle against AIDS. As if those two reasons weren't enough it has exclusive remixes and original songs by Tracy Young and will make you wanna boogie all night long.......
A must have.

It's ok for pre-party or after-party.......2004-07-17

This CD's music is too casual for the hardcore circuit. None of this music you would find during peak hour. It's great just to get things started or cooling down during an after party.

Great HIT in Brazil..........2005-07-30

I was just a child when Tim Moore was one of the most listenned acts with a song Called "Yes". We have soap operas here, and the music was a song theme from one of them, and that's why it got listenned all the country...

Anyways, I don't have this record, but I had to tell that this must be good, cause I was 6-years-old and til this days (I'm 27) i can remember every single note from "yes" (track 2 in that album) and still I remember Tim Moore as one of the greatest voices I've ever heard in my life!!!

He eventually came to Brazil and presented himself in a bunch of tv shows... I can remember me, a little kid, staying up late to see him on tv in a sunday...

Delightful, Mostly Light-Hearted, Occasionally Wacky, Music.......2003-06-23

Joshua Rosenblum is a young composer-conductor-pianist who has worked mostly on- and off-Broadway, conducting shows like 'Miss Saigon,' 'The Music Man,' and 'Falsettos.' This CD, which must have been a joy to put together - there is a palpable feeling of 'hey-kids-let's-put-on-a-show' collegiality amongst the numerous musicians involved - contains a variety of chamber music. Rosenblum probably sets a record for using the youngest librettist for his song-cycle, 'A Whole Family Sitting in a Tree.' He followed his then-three-year-old son, Julian, around with paper and pencil and copied down his sayings, setting his words as five songs. The only other art-songs that even come close, in my experience, are the delightful 'Deux lettres d'enfants' by Jacques de Menasce, who set a couple of charming thank-you notes sent him by the children of fellow composer, Daniel Lesur. Rosenblum's are worthy of such company. The song-cycle is winningly sung by young Julian's mama and Joshua's wife, Joanne Lessner. Music, words and performance are utterly charming.

The album is titled 'Impetuosities,' after the first piece recorded here, a jeu d'esprit written on commission for Philip Smith, the fabled principal trumpet of the New York Philharmonic and played by him and pianist Joseph Turrin. 'Impetuosities' is an immediately attractive 7-minute romp that must be fun to play; it certainly is fun to listen to. Smith is quoted as saying, when he commissioned the piece, that he 'wasn't really an avant-garde guy,' to which Rosenblum replied, 'That's okay - neither am I.' Indeed, all the music here is resolutely tonal, immediately 'gettable.'

'Variations' for piano trio, here played by The Herrick Trio, consists of a flowing theme and seven variations that include a jig, a 'calypso-rag,' a waltz, and an 'Orientale,' among others. The Trio's violinist, Marilyn Gibson, also plays 'Marilyn's Solo', a brief unaccompanied bijou written for her. 'Four Songs of Thomas Hardy,' the most consciously 'arty' music here nonetheless contains a hilarious setting of 'In the Room of the Bride-Elect' that ends with the cry, 'Good God - I must marry him I suppose!' The four are sung by baritone Chris Thompson with impeccable diction and suave musicality.

'Flash Variations' for flute and piano flutters past in roulades and runs played with gusto and skill by Kathleen Nester, flute, with the composer at the piano.

'Tall Tales' for horn quartet is played by some Broadway pit-band buddies of the composer. They call themselves The Shubert Alley Horns and, if the booklet can be trusted, they sight-read the light-hearted pieces for this recording. One of the Horns, Dan Culpepper, also plays 'Three Episodes' for horn and piano, again with the composer at the piano.

Finally, a couple of wind-band pieces, a march (coyly called 'Forward March') and a sort-of-tarantella called 'The King's Pyjamas,' are played by a group of other Broadway musicians calling themselves - in homage to John Philip Sousa, after one of his marches - Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. A good time is had by all, including this reviewer.

Indeed, for a light-hearted 72 minutes this CD would more than adequately fill the bill. We're told Mr Rosenblum is preparing a Broadway musical based on, of all things, physicist/novelist Alan Lightman's fictional 'Einstein's Dreams.' Hoo boy!
