Chicago Blues Angels
 
Local blues band plays authentic, traditional blues with energy, style and passion at clubs around Illinois. Of their new CD, Movin' Out, Illinois Entertainer's James Porter says "It's enough that the whole band can burn... but then there's Dave Gonzalez and Herman Hines singing their asses off, too? Too much sugar for a dime!"

Blues Revue's Tom Hyslop says, "Blues is alive and well in Chicago. If you don’t dig Movin' Out (Blue Bella 2001) by the Chicago Blues Angels, check your pulse. Inspired by music from the golden age of electric blues (pre-1970), this has it all: sharkskin soul, boogaloo blasts, diamond-hard R&B, and blues, blues, blues from the swamp to the city. Guitarists Armando Cortex and Kate Hoddinott are vintage stylists with pure tone; they play like they’re working and feeling it. Dave Gonzalez blows devastating harp and shares vocals with the authoritative Herman Hines. The quality cast extends to labelmate Nick Moss, another dynamite retro player, who holds down bass duties, and to producer Lynwood Slim, who sings one number. Highest recommendation."
