New CD “The Vintage Room” Available Now

May 11, 2008

Cash McCall’s CD, The Vintage Room, is now available on Dixon Landing Music, at CD Baby, and all major digital download sites.

“Chicago blues never sounded so fine. Flip the switch in Cash McCall’s Vintage Room and the light’s gonna shine on one of the most authentic Chicago blues records of the new millennium. McCall and his crack band, featuring Alex Dixon, Willie’s piano playing grandson, and Steve Bell, Carey’s harp offspring, nicely update Grandpa Dixon’s blues classics and, at the same time, beef up grandson Alex’s modern blues tunes.” Art Tipaldi, Contributing Editor Blues Revue and Blues Wax

“The Vintage Room is an engaging release from an energized group of musicians and a solid primer on Chicago blues.” Dave Ruthenberg, Living Blues

“On The Vintage Room, listeners shouldn’t expect to experience any attempts to reinvent the blues, any attempts to reinterpret the blues or any attempts to redefine the blues - and thank God for that. What you can expect is a sincere and very successful attempt to carry on the tradition of the blues in the way that Willie Dixon, and many of his legendary associates, meant it to be.” Peter Lauro, Blues Editor, Mary4Music.com

“Dixon’s songs successfully capture the same spirit and energy of his grandfather’s compositions. McCall contributes “Mama,” a reflective soul number, and his gritty, soulful vocals are right on the mark throughout the disc, as is his guitar work. The Vintage Room is loaded with songs and performances that remind you of those legendary Chess sessions of the 50’s and late 60’s. They don’t make them like this any more.” Graham Clarke, Blues Bytes

“Alex Dixon’s songs bring new revelations to the scene. He honors the fathers of the blues while recasting the timeless essence in concrete terms.” Jim Santella, Southland Blues
