He is accompanied by his long time band members, Neil Thomas (keyboard, accordion), Eric Halvorson (drums) and Arturo Baguer (bass). Kilby Jr. is also joined by Jono Manson on guitar and vocals for \u201cWhen the People Sang\u201d with Railroad Earth member Tim Carbone on fiddle. Andy Goessling, also of Railroad Earth, joins in on \u201cSunshine of Your Love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/sixpackforGeorge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11044 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/sixpackforGeorge.jpg\" alt=\"sixpackforGeorge\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>George Kilby Jr. credits Pinetop Perkins, the famous blues pianist, for teaching him almost everything he knows about playing the blues. With his influence, Kilby pours soul into his music and has his own rocker attitude of never regretting saying and playing it how it really is. The entire album is laid back and an easy listen. Each song carries lyrics meant to make you stop and think of the past, present and future. Kilby\u2019s album reminded me that music can be used as one of the strongest weapons we have, more often than none; all you can do is sing and play.<\/p>\n<p>The album kicks off with \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E_sGqv1qeZA&amp;feature=player_embedded\">When the People Sang<\/a>\u201d a gentle, country vibe with simple strumming and soaring fiddle. The song is a helpful reminder that the 60\u2019s are still alive and well.\u00a0 The low, vocal notes Kilby Jr sings during \u201cI Love You in Brooklyn\u201d, a ballad in tribute to New York\u2019s boroughs was sublime, plus it helps that I\u2019m a sucker for love songs. Neil Thomas&#8217; accordion gives the song a vintage charm. \u201cSomething I Can\u2019t Find\u201d is what Kilby describes as \u201cbluesy rocker with a trippy side\u201d and it\u2019s easy to see why with all the strong, multiple guitar riffs. Kilby takes a break from his original songs to put a fresh bluegrass spin on Cream&#8217;s \u201cSunshine of Your Love\u201d. He delivers the lyrics with a smooth and slow croon while sharp guitar and banjo picking is added for a great pick me up. I hate to say it but I might love this version better than Cream&#8217;s. The final song on the album, \u201cYou Never See the Hand Throw the Stone\u201d, a haunting, blues melody from Kilby and a killer harmonica thanks to Phil Wiggins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Tracks:<\/strong> When The People Sang, Sunshine of Your Love, Something I Can\u2019t Find<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>George Kilby Jr., a singer-songwriter originally from Alabama, has released the album\u00a0Six Pack, a collection of songs demonstrating his wide range of bluegrass, folk, blues and classic Americana music.
