LIVE IN  CLEVELAND
OHIO THE BIG ELECTRIC
CREAM JAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
They say that reincarnation is making a comeback. If that is so, it
has never been more true than in the new CD by the Onesko,
Bogert and Ceo Project -- aptly called 'Big Electric Cream Jam.'
These three blues-rock virtuosos channel the feeling, emotional
content, and musical virtuosity of Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and
Ginger Baker, respectively, and, believe it or not, take the music
up a notch. Most of all, they capture the live excitement and
power of the original trio and do it justice -- no mean feat! Overall,
the inspired playing on this CD makes one not only appreciate
Cream on a deeper level, but establishes Onesko, Bogert and Ceo,
three veteran players in their own right, in a category of their own
whose musical chops show the wisdom of their years, with a debt,
no doubt, to the original trio. Clearly, this CD represents the
rebirth of a pivotal 60s band, but with alternate musicians who
have their own story to tell. The music speaks for itself: It's as if
Cream came back with a vengeance, employing all of the musical
inspiration and musicianship that went down from the time they
disbanded to the present day. This is the new must-have CD for all
blues-rock fans!

Michael's guitar Onesko Armada shook the blues world! What a force!
During their grand "Smoke House sessions", the four (2

recent albums more in the direction of guitar heavy rock, rock so this
is not
less violently, but the Blues are clearly in focus! Dirty, loud, with a
volume and powerful guitar solos "strong like a bear" take Onesko and
its
Friends a song after the next to rock the "Smoke House" in primary and
Ground to the end for a little relaxation to ensure, by Robert
Johnson's "Crossroads" in an acoustic, but energy-charged version
and bring the album with a dreamy cover of Peter Green's "Albatross"

Onesko and his "Gang" sounds like good stuff so mercilessly that so

for a monstrous force and power is, is pure dynamite! What a

Mike,

I  have only recently discovered your band " Blindside Blues Band" through the Grooveyard site and after
hearing a few samples off the "Smokehouse Session" album I thought this sounds like my type of stuff and
ordered the album straight away from their site.
Well it arrived yesterday and got put straight into the CD player and I will tell you, I was blown away big
time.
This, with out a doubt will be my album of the year by a mile....... I have not heard an album of this quality
since  Bad Company's first two releases and it is an absolute joy to hear a band play with the passion and
feeling that is delivered, when hearing this album that is so lacking in any form of music today.
I have never before, sent an email to any  artist or band after hearing an album, but I have never  sat back
before and gone 'Holy F**k, how good is this and I've been a music fanatic for about 40 years !!!!!!!!
I swear to god, if this album ever got the promotion it deserved, any lover of bluesy rock would snap this
up in a heartbeat....
This is not just my best album of 2009, this will be in my top 5 albums of all time and trust me, I'm not
exagerating.
So to you Mike and the rest of the guys, hats off to you all for an album that to me is a masterpiece and I
will be praying for a "Smokehouse Session Volume 2,3,4,5,6 and actually don't let it end.
Just brilliant and just such a breath of fresh air to an industry that is dying  of such a slow and painful death
due to arsewipes that are only in it to make a quick buck...{Or should I say record labels}, who put out
music that has a shelf life the same as that of a packet of chips
So I thank you and the rest of the guys for this album and I can tell you that this CD will not be leaving the
player for a long, long time and I can also guarantee to you that I'm going to  spread the word to many a
people of  the 'Blindside Blues Band" and how good they are!!!!!!!

Regards,
