Album Description

They joined the Alligator Records family with THAT'S RIGHT! in 2003. The CD received massive amounts of praise and received yet another Grammy© nomination. Now they're back with STANDING ROOM ONLY an utterly hip-shaking set of songs highlighting the vocal and instrumental power of the band.

Remaining together for so long is not simply a matter of survival, but rather a testament to Roomful of Blues' commitment to its originality and its ability to evolve. Over the years, Roomful's lineup has changed but the band has always been one of the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. Currently an eight-piece unit led by guitarist Chris Vachon, the band has never sounded fresher or stronger. With vocalist/harpist Mark DuFresne, bassist Brad Hallen, drummer Jason Corbiere, keyboardist (and newest member of the group) Travis Colby, baritone and tenor saxophonist Mark Earley along with long-time members tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille (the longest-standing member of the group) and trumpeter Bob Enos, STANDING ROOM ONLY swings with ferocity and rocks with urgency and purpose. Moving effortlessly from eight originals to six carefully chosen covers, the expertly executed songs sizzle from start to finish.

STANDING ROOM ONLY is a knockout punch from a group of blues heavyweights, full of big band swing, razor-sharp blues and sweaty R&B workouts.

4 out of 5 stars Hear them flaunt their renowned signature sound.......2006-04-02

Roomful of Blues
Standing Room Only
Alligator ALCD 4900

Roomful of Blues is a party band's party band. On their 14th release, the eight member group sounds like a 1940s big band. Since 1967, Roomful has combined swing, rock, blues, and R&B. Back then, the band was started by guitarist Duke Robillard and keyboardist Al Copley. Three years later, a horn section was added. In 1977, their debut album broke them out of New England and into national attention. Robillard left in 1980 and over the years, the band was been home to at least 44 members.

The current lineup includes a stomping three-piece horn section. They contribute significantly to the group's swaying sound on this follow-up to 2003's That's Right. Throughout 14 tracks, (eight original numbers and six obscure classics from the likes of Little Milton and Lowell Fulson), they flaunt their renowned signature sound. Singer/harpist Mark DuFresne sounds like a modern-day Frank Sinatra. Since joining the group in 2002, DuFresne has ignited a return to the band's roots. His classy vocals are a highlight on "The Love You Lost On The Way" and "Sufferin' With The Blues." The arrangement on the latter goes against the band's core fabric. This makes it an extremely difficult number to pull off. Much of the credit for making the song work must go to DuFresne's soft and precise voice.

The disc begins with boundless energy. "She Put A Spell On Me" allures with interest. Immediately, you want to hear more. "Boomerang" combines the sounds of the Fabulous Thunderbirds and the Downchild Blues Band. Here, Chris Vachon's hot rockin' guitar is set atop a non-stop rhythm that is punchy. On "Just Keep On Rockin'", the horn-laden band performs hopping sounds from an era gone by. "Straight Jaquette" is a slinky instrumental, like ones heard in old-fashioned vinyl record shops.

Their dancing music makes you feel great. A couple of songs, ("Boomerang" and "Just Keep On Rockin'") are worthy of Song Of The Year, and most should be played on radio. Roomful's exciting sound is a welcome alternate to guitar driven blues.

3 out of 5 stars Not Jazz, But Not truely blues.......2006-01-22

I seen this band play, once they opened for a true Blues Legend Albert king.. I mean they were not bad, their musically talented, but at the end of the day, Can you truelly call them a blues band you'll recomend? not really. As Albert king well put it.. " Blues full or Room"...

Its hard to judge fairly when they opened for a master blues guitarist Albert King!......
in all, not bad, but a great blues band? eh!

4 out of 5 stars A Room with a View.......2005-10-22

This incredible band, wrapping up decade 4, has its eyes on the past (big band swing bands of the 40's) with a view towards keeping the sound tight and rockin' for the modern age. New vocalist Mark Dufresne has a range that can bring chills or simply drive the band with power and a bluesy cool. Leader Chris Vachon is one of the best guitar players out there for feel and tone whether playing a slow blues groove or hitting it hard. I am always so pleased to see new work come from this incredible American institution. They swing, they jump, they jive, they are simply outstanding. Another live album featuring this current line-up would be great. The horn section led by 30+ year saxman Rich Lataille is as bright and sharp as ever. Bubba's horn work is outstanding! As a great band leader once said when asked which line-up was the best of all the ones he's had over the years, he replied, 'Why this one of course". Simply put, America's best jump blues band, period!!

4 out of 5 stars Just keeps on rockin'.......2005-03-03

The first thing I noticed was that these guys are having fun on this record. The band is tight as a guitar string. The horns wail, the vocals are whiskey smooth, not a mis-step in the song selection. I saw Marcia Ball recently, and it was a PAR-TAY, so maybe it is "sumfin'in da watah down der", but this was as much fun as blues record gets. All songs are good, most are way above average. The novelty of "Flip Flop Jack" and whistling sing-song intro on "Nobody Knows" made it a blast to listen to listen right down to the last chord... With nods to 1940's jump-swing, 50's style steet corner crooning (Sufferin with the Blues), plus a modern production, made for a throughly solid listen. Next road trip or pary I throw, I'll know where to start, and just keep on rockin'.

4 out of 5 stars Roomful Still Delivers the Goods.......2005-01-25

How many times have you been disappointed when a blues band shows up to a gig as a three piece when all of its discs feature horns and keyboards on nearly every track? Roomful of Blues fans never experience a let down since the band includes as members the two saxophones, trumpet, keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and harmonica heard on its discs. What you hear on disc is what you get live and, in this case, fans should be salivating in anticipation of the band's next appearance. Simply put, the band has rarely sounded better. Starting things off with the fast paced, horn laden "She Put A Spell On Me", the band works its way through 14 cuts that allow the band to flex its instrumental muscles in a variety of settings. "I Can't Stand You No More" has a slinky, guitar driven mambo groove that is unlike anything the band has recorded before. "Boomerang" is a rockin,' dance floor filling number for the rock and roll dancers while "Just Keep Rockin'" , "Jona Lee", "Flip Flap Jack" and "Up Jumped the Devil" will give the swing dancers a work out. While the band has proved over and over that it is the gold standard for upbeat numbers it makes a strong case here for its ability to play the kind of slow, emotional blues that are Bobby "Blue" Bland's stock in trade. On "Sufferin' With The Blues" lead vocalist Mark DuFresne conveys a deep, desperate pain that conjures up images of someone ending the night alone crying in bad scotch wondering if it is worth it to make it to tomorrow. The band's instrumental prowess is showcased on "Straight Jaquette" which features the dueling saxophones of Mark Earley and Rich Latille and allows trumpeter Bob Enos to take a couple of flights into the stratosphere. A pleasant curve ball is thrown into the mix on the easy loping groove of Nobody Knows which features guitarist Chris Vachon serving up croaking vocals reminiscent of Tom Waits. As with past discs, the band features covers by jump blues kings like Roy Brown but this time extends into soul blues penned by Little Milton and Lowell Fulson and a number of self-penned tunes (Vachon logs in with four while Latille, Earley, DuFresne and keyboard ace Travis Colby contribute one each) that fit seamlessly with those of the masters that they have covered. After more than three decades in the business, Roomful of Blues continues to deliver the goods both live and on disc.

    4 out of 5 stars Standing in Good Graces.......2007-03-23

    After listening to this CD several times I still find it very exhilerating to hear Martha Davis sing live. The pluses on this disc are that the biggest hits are here (except for Total Control) and that they sound great. The minuses are that there are only 10 songs and The Motels new material is nowhere to be seen. I was at this live performance when it was recorded and the songs that are missing are some of the bands' best and most moving to date.

    Im very glad I got this and of course all fans should make the purchase. because there's good stuff here! So on a two tiered scale, it gets 4 stars for what it is and 3 stars because of what it might have been.

    After Listening to the CD I just want to encourage Paul and the Christanaires to continue to lift up the name Jesus in song. And please hold on to that old time traditional gospel style. People don't seem to understand that it's this style along with for Real Holy Ghost filled folks like our mothers and grandmothers is what's going to draw our young people to the Lord. This modern contemperary gospel is just what it is without the con. it's simply "TEMPERARY". Be blessed my brothers. Elder Michael Alston

      This is an exciting cd. It features the hits of many of the great tunesmiths of America. What a treat!

      I belive this series showcases six composers on each cd. With this format, there's no way to go wrong with this cd. The 101 Strings do a wonderful job of performaning these songs.

      Recommendation: I think it would be wise to buy this cd if you love the standards.

I would suggest to any one that buys this cd that get ready for a musical masterpiece because this man is just that. Im a really big fan of broadway showtunes and really enjoyed listening to this man sing some very great songs.

        5 out of 5 stars A must have!.......2006-01-29

        If you like catchy melodies and tight harmonies, mixed with thought provoking lyrics and spot-on guitars, topped off with one of the best drummers since Dave Grohl then you'll love Long Since Forgotten. A definite must have in any cd collection! Although, you better buy two because you will not be able to get enough of this amazing disc.

        4 out of 5 stars Awesome Follow-up.......2004-02-10

        Their first album was great, this one follows the same pattern. If you have never heard them, I suggest you take a listen. Give them a chance because they are great. Great people, great music, great band.

        5 out of 5 stars Great Second Album by LSF.......2004-02-08

        The guys have turned in a great follow up to their debut album on Rocketstar. Onca again recorded with Ed Rose (Get Up Kids, Coalesce), this album surpasses the sound and emotion displayed on All the Things You Said. If you are a fan of Jimmy Eat World, you will enjoy the sound of Long Since Forgotten. My favorite songs include Euclid Crashed and Another Song which feature some guest vocals from Stephanie Gunther from Ettison Clio, The Language of Nature, and Looking Glass. Another top notch release from LSF and Rocketstar Records.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent music.......2004-02-08

        I, too, bought all of the Highwaymen albums in the 1960's, and I still have them but othing to play them on! My only complaint is that they did not re-release the other albums on CD as they did their first two. I especially enjoyed the songs that they played in French and Spanish.

        5 out of 5 stars Highwaymen CD's.......2004-01-21

        I have purchased the three CD's of this group that are available and loved them all. I'm hoping for further issues. In a Johann Helton web page that I accessed there is a suggestion that they are doing a Irish issue. I am waiting and hoping to obtain this if and when it is released.

        5 out of 5 stars Debut / follow-up albums still delightful after forty years.......2003-04-08

        I think I wore the grooves out in the vinyl playing these records over and over again in the 60s. Certainly I dulled several needles. I know-- those technological details date me-- but this music has definitely stood the test of time. The harmonies are lovely, the songs compelling, and the overall feeling when you listen to the music just lovely.

        The Highwaymen were a phenomenon particular to their time, yet timeless and eternal.

        This CD even has the original album covers and liner notes. A must-have for any folk music fan!

        5 out of 5 stars The two albums from the heyday of the Highwaymen.......2003-04-01

        The Highwaymen (Dave Fisher, Steve Butts, Bob Burnett, and Chan Daniels) were a quartet of Wesleyan University undergraduates who were able to translate their rousing style into a brief period of commercial success. This CD reissues together the group's first two albums. Their 1961 self-titled debut album sold people on the basis of classic singalongs such as "Big Rock Candy Mountain," but also showcased their quieter side in ballads such as "Au Claire de la Lune" and "Cindy Oh Cindy." The quintessential Highwayman song would be "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore" which ended up being their most popular hit.

        The group's second album, "Standing Room Only!" was released in 1962 and had a couple of hits with "The Gypsy Rover" and "Cotton Fields," a forgotten song written by the legendary Leadbelly that was supposed to be the B-side of a single. Add to those memorable songs some more great tracks, including "Black Eyed Susie" and "Pollerita," and you can see why the Highwaymen were a defining group in the folk scene of the early Sixties.

        The Highwaymen sang traditional songs and ballads with a spirited harmony, and their reduced place in the history of the revival of American folk music is due simply to their preference to entertain audiences rather than engage in consciousness-raising. Consequently, they fall into the Kingston Trio, New Christie Minstrels, et al. category of folksingers as opposed to the politically oriented singers such Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Phil Ochs. However, once you get passed the idea that you were more likely to see the Highwaymen on "The Ed Sullivan Show" than at a civil rights protest meeting, you can enjoy their work.

        Note: The group was originally named the Clansmen, because they sang a lot of Scottish and Irish songs on campus. After they were introduced to the meaning of the term outside of the northeastern part of the United States they changed their name to the Highwaymen, after the Alfred Noyes poem (which was set to music by Loreena McKennitt not too long ago).

        5 out of 5 stars This CD is a favorite.......2000-10-09

        In the early 1960's, the first album I bought of the Highwaymen was "Standing Room Only." I bought it to learn "Gypsy Rover" and "Cotton Fields" on the guitar, but I quickly learned most of the others. Since I do not have the language prowess of these five gentlemen (I read that at least some were modern language majors), I never mastered "Nostalgias Tucmans" or "Pollerita", but I enjoyed listening to them just the same. Soon, I bought "The Highwaymen" primarily for "Michael", but quickly learned all of the others, includign the French and Spanish songs. I enjoyed this group's variety of instrumentation, the vocal harmony and the multitude of parts. Even though I enjoyed the stories they told in their English language folk songs, I also liked listening to the French and Spanish songs although I did not understand them. Over the years, both the albums and the record player went by the boards.

        I was thrilled when this CD came out recently. The quality of reproduction was excellent. It was like having the original two albums. My wife for the first time told me that she missed the music of this group -- we've been married 32 years and I never knew that she was a fan of theirs. I also showed the Spanish songs to a friend from Central America. He told me that "Carni Vallito" is from Bolivia and was sung as well as he's ever heard it. "Nostalgias Tucmans" is from Mexico, and is normally done somewhat faster than in this arrangement. "Pollerita" is from either Venezuela or Peru.

        The only thing missing is more music from this group! They recorded several other albums in the 1960's. I sincerely hope that they continue to re-release these albums two at a time as they have done this one, and as the Kingston Trio continue to do.
