Living Blues

Old-schoolers, rejoice! Sweet Angel, a mainstay on the southern soul blues circuit, has broken the genre mold and released a CD consisting solely of live, in-studio instrumentation and gimmick-free production. The result, as Angel no doubt intended, is that the focus is entirely on her songwriting and vocal skills, along with the musical acumen of her accompanists.

SWEET ANGEL'S NEW CD IS AVAILABLE NOW!!!!

PRESS – Sweet Angel

"Her fierce articulation and her knife-edged vocal timbre make almost everything she sings sound emotionally focused and suffused with hard-won, life-affirming power."  LIVING BLUES

“..when it comes to pure vocals, she’s pure magic!” BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE

“…classic southern soul/ blues sound that is so hard–to-find these days, but an approach that Sweet Angel can certainly handle with aplomb. She sounds totally convincing on every track……bold, brassy and sassy, and deserves to be far better known than she is……” MN BLUES – BLUES ON STAGE

“Mr. Wrong is Going to Get This Love Tonight

Independent

A big production fronted by a big lady. All songs except Purple Rain are by C. Dobbins who is I presume Sweet Angel. The whole thing has a big band sound complete with brass (Sweet Angel plays alto sax). The title track has a great dirty feel to it. ‘Juking at a hole in the wall’ really funks along. ‘Blow that Thang Again’ is actually not what the title says.’ Zydeco Funk’ does exactly what it says on the tin. The entire collection is great fun and just what you need in the car or over a few late drinks indoors. Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ is a revelation. This album makes you want to dance.

Bob Bonsey BLUES MATTERS!” 2012
