Albert Cummings (Blues)
Dynamics, tone and performer/audience togetherness overpower volume and attitude every time. Anyone who’s graduated from rock to blues knows that, but when an artist can capture the dynamics of both styles in live concert, it’s time to find a new word to supersede “crossover.” On his live Blind Pig CD "Feel So Good", Albert Cummings doesn’t go over the top, he slices cleanly through it.
He flies above the bridge between the two genres of rock and blues. This “vehicle”
never touches the road long enough to leave skid marks.

"The little ole Lady in the shirt shop is gone. Who was she? She was a lady everybody called Mom. Why? Because she treated everyone like your Mom would treat you. She listened to people's troubles. She told them Jesus loved them and everything would be alright. She loved all the people that came in, and attracted them like a magnet. She loved the bands and selling their merchandise. She would watch them on the TV in the hallway and sometimes come to the doorway and dance a little with a big smile on her face. She loved God and would tell everyone that entered that Jesus was for them, and nothing could harm them if they loved Jesus. She laughed, she cried, but she was a friend. Like I say everyone called her Mom including me. Why? because she was.
We will miss you, Mom." ~Frank Hicks
