Description

“God Bless The Child” /”Funky Peaches”-  10″ Single – Audiophile Vinyl

180g LP

“Blinded By The Night” was recorded Live at the Cutting Room in New York City, on August 28, 2013.”

“Blinded By The Night” also contained three other great covers, two penned by David Bennett Cohen, Track 2 “Funky Peaches” and Track 9 “City Boy Blues”, and Track 4 “God Bless The Child” which was a Billie Holiday/Arthur Herzog Jr., collaboration. David Bennett Cohen is perhaps best known for the fact that he was the original Keyboardist for Country Joe and the Fish, a late 60′s psychedelic rock and blues band, which actually performed at Woodstock, although Cohen was no longer a member at that time. “Funky Peaches” is actually one of my favorite songs performed by the The City Boy Allstars, and as the name suggest, it is indeed a number with a nice Funky feel to it. “Funky Peaches”, which is also an instrumental really featured the musicianship of the band beautifully, especially the Horn section which consisted of Tony Kadleck & Lew Soloff on Trumpets and “Blue Lou” Marini, Andy Snitzer & Tom “Bones” Malone on Saxophones. Other really nice work, which was often in the form of some nice featured solo’s were Mike Merola (Guitar), Al MacDowell (Bass), Rob Clores (Keys), Nick Saya (Drums), and Daniel Sadownick (Percussion).”
