'If I May…' Album Review (2023)
"Two-time Blues Blast Music Award nominee, Little G Weevil continues to produce highly enjoyable traditional blues music. His latest release, If I May, contains ten original compositions, which run the gamut of blues, swing, ragtime and jazz.
The opening one-chord stomp “Yoga Girl (Hold Me Close)” sets out the album’s stall nicely: a tight groove, a sharp band, a well-written song in a classic blues style but with a modern lyrical perspective just one notch off normal. Likewise, the New Orleans style romp of “Spy Balloon Blues” offers a wry view of the satellites that dominate the modern world and features some superb piano from Mr. Jambalaya.
Indeed, the entire band is top class. Weevil handles guitars and lead vocals, ably supported by Jambalaya on piano and backing vocals, K.C. Brown on harmonica and backing vocals, Csaba Pengo on upright bass and backing vocals and Tom Kiss on drums. Gabor Vastag also provides backing vocals on two tracks.
The jazzy “One Last Time” sees Weevil lay down a fine guitar solo while the traditional Chicago blues of “Scam Me, Scam Me Not” is another example of Weevil’s ability to write songs that have a traditional feel but very contemporary lyrics.
'If I May…' was recorded, mixed and mastered by Gabor Vastag at Sounday Studio in Budapest, Hungary and he caught an excellent sound. On a track like the upbeat “Doctor Hay”, Weevil’s guitar fair leaps out of the speakers. On the throbbing “Tribal Affairs”, Kiss’s drum patterns perfectly match one of the more intriguing lyrics on the album, particularly sitting next to the mid-paced rhumba of “Gold Mine”, explicitly bemoaning the plight of African workers working for little reward for the precious gems that we wear as jewellery. Half-way through this track, Mr Jambalaya suddenly leads the band in a wholly unexpected direction.
Both “Tingalingaling (Everybody’s Qualified)” (which also contains a belting solo from K.C. Brown) and the slow blues of “We Don’t Learn Much” amusingly skewer modern educational standards and expectations, while the album closer, “I Know Many Ways To Prove My Love” nods to Willie Dixon’s “29 Ways” as Weevil lists various ways he can prove his love. It’s a great way to finish a very enjoyable album.
Little G Weevil is a serious talent. And If I May, which by the way is beautifully packaged in a gatefold sleeve with an essay by Larry Eaglin and all the lyrics, is another worthy addition to his oeuvre." - Blues Blast Magazine, USA
‘Live Acoustic Session’ Album Review (2021)
"The pure simplicity of hearing a world class artist alone in a room with their instrument is a rare event not often witnessed by many let alone caught on tape and recorded for posterity. Armed with only his acoustic guitar, a list of favorite songs and his wits, 2013 international Blues challenge Solo champion, Little G Weevil, sat alone in the vaunted stone room at Supersize Recording earlier this year in his native country of Hungary for a spontaneous recording, simply titled Live Acoustic Session.
Weevil described the day; “My latest and most spontaneous work to date. I walked into a studio, had three beers, and played 16 tunes. It came out mighty bluesy, 100% live, no editing.” Obviously inspired by the sound of the room with its handcrafted fieldstone walls, high ceiling and wood floors, Weevil delivered a performance of Blues and roots and rambles with fire and zeal, as if he were playing on the stage in a grand auditorium.
Little G Weevil is an artist who refuses to be pigeonholed, with a career full of varied material and colorful, unique cross genre collaborations. This strong release demonstrate he is not afraid to go back to basics and revel in his roots.
During his travels he shared the stage with legendary musicians such as Johnny Winter, the Neville Brothers, Terry Evans, John Popper, Lee Oskar, Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets with Sam Myers, Denise Lasalle, Otis Taylor, Big Jack Johnson, Lonnie Shields, Lurrie Bell, Willie King, Ian Siegal and many more.
Live Acoustic Session was nominated for a 2021 Blues Blast Music Award for “Live Blues Album.”" - Blues Festival E-Guide Magazine, USA
‘Moving’ Album Review (2014)
Blues guitarist Little G. Weevil is on a tear these days. He won the Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge Solo award for 2013. He is nominated for the 2014 Blues Music Award “Acoustic Artist of the Year” for 2014. His latest release, Moving, on the Apic/Vizztone label, is doing extremely well, and it is an acoustic, roots music tour-de-force.
Moving is Weevil’s third release. Personnel are Maurice Nazzaro on harp, Dustin Sergant on upright bass, Adam Goodhue on drums, and of course, Weevil on guitars. Danny V. Vinson plays rhythm guitar on track 8, and solo guitar on tracks 3 and 12. Production here is clear, concise, and unadorned. Sound quality is pristine and inviting, and the mix is sparse, but full of depth.
Moving is masterful in its simplicity, and immediacy. The music is uncluttered and striking; the impression it leaves the listener with lingers long after it has stopped. Standout performances include “Mean and Dirty,” with its steady beat, rich sound, and delightfully gravelly vocal from Weevil. While listening to this, it is hard to believe that such rich, full sound is achieved with only acoustic instruments. “Boogie Through My Troubles” shines with its majestic picking and sliding. Listeners will be sorely tempted to jump up and shout “Play it man, play it!” “Let Someone Else Do All The Work” is fetching, drawing us in with its addictive rhythm and slide playing. The title track is a lively blues with the whole band playing, again with a rich sound. Nazzaro blows some fine harp, Vinson delivers a lovely solo, and again, Weevil’s vocal is perfect here. Everyone really delivers on the album’s closer, “Swing In The Middle.” If we sat on our porch, friends gathered ’round with our instruments playing swing, this is what we would aspire to sound like. This cut is absolutely sumptuous.
Whatever perspective from which we would choose to appraise this album, whether it be as blues, roots, or just acoustic music, we do not find it lacking; not at all. The material is well written and superbly played. The album is engaging and it ignited our senses. This is definitely an album to be enjoyed through headphones! That way, not a single note will be missed as it whispers by. Treat yourself to Moving soon." - American Blues Scene
