We want to give a shout out to Gary "the Wagman" Wagner, who broadcasts "Nothing But the Blues" on KKJZ 88.1 FM in Long Beach, every Saturday and Sunday from 2-7 PM. He featured the R&B Bombers in the 6 PM hour tonight by playing four straight tracks, two from our first CD and two from "Bad Behavior." Here's a link to ...the playlist:

R&B Bomber fans! This is a review from the upcoming Dec. issue of "Blues Revue" of our latest Cd, "Bad Behavior" Google says "Blues Revue is the world's largest blues publication, devoted to the listener and musician... whose musical passion is the full spectrum of the blues."

And for the Review:

'With a 4-horn frontline and big-voiced singer in Joe Wilson, the R&B Bombers come out of the jump-blues comba tradition that inspired Roomful of Blues. This West Coast group eschews standards, instead performing songs by Wilson and sax players Craig Thomas and Dave Tolegian that address familiar subjects such as relationships, misbehavior, heartbreak, and man's best friend with broad humor and sly insight. Ken Stange (keyboards) and Steve Wachsman (guitar) take tasteful lead roles on tunes that incorporate swing, Latin, shuffle, and roots-rocking rhythms. The lush ballad that lends the self-released 'Bad Behavior' its title is stunning.
