Love Jones, from Northern Arizona's Favorite Blues Band (Zene Magazine, 2004), will lead your dancing spirit through an original landscape of shimmy-friendly, hot-rod driving, zydeco-seasoned beats, and that's just for starters. Heartily applying the explosive power of "Big Daddy" Darryl Porras and his aptly named entourage, Love Jones shakes the versatile blues aficionado to the vital core. It is a rare container of a live dance hall's exuberance, combining technical artistry and heartfelt blues with such electricity it will jump-start any blues-jonesing heart.

A good 'indie' release from Arizona is That's D Blues, from Big Daddy D and the Dynamites. The eight cuts here have a real 'live in the studio' feel... All songs are original compositions... Good vocals... Nice sax work... Tasty dobro work.

Story of the Blues - Darryl Porras


All these original recordings were done in the studio as “live” as can be. We wanted to hold true to what the “Blues” are all about. No musical overdubs and no fancy studio tricks were added. Just raw, high-energy music is what we do. We created music that encourages maximum energy and spontaneous musical moments. What you hear in these recording are the different illustrations and dynamics of music experienced during a live encounter with Big Daddy D and the Dynamites.
