The Lucky Losers – Godless Land
Format: CD
Label: VizzTone Label Group
Release: 2020
VizzTone is proud to announce the August 14, 2020 release of GODLESS LAND by The Lucky Losers.
San Francisco’s finest male/female fronted band, The Lucky Losers, release their much-anticipated fourth album, GODLESS LAND. and continue their winning streak with acclaimed producer/engineer and multi-instrumentalist Kid Andersen.
After having won “Best Blues-Soul Artist” Indepent Music Award in 2019 for their previous album “Blind Spot,” vocal duo Cathy Lemons and Phil Berkowitz (backed by an all-star band) take you on a sumptuous musical journey through the bawdy, jazzy blues of the late 1920’s, the jump swing era of the late 50’s, Chicago and Tin Pan Alley music of the ‘60’s, and finally, the sweet R&B/soul of the early ‘70’s.
Berkowitz’s bright tenor voice and big, rich sounding harp punctuates Lemons’ haunting vocals, while serpentine guitar lines, funky organ, and wah-wah riffs bring each song to life. Of its twelve tracks, nine are originals (six by Cathy Lemons, and three by Phil Berkowitz and collaborator Danny Caron) and three are rare gems made for the vocal duet.
There is a bewitching balance between Berkowitz’s seductive, introspective songwriting and Lemons’ stark, revelatory commentary on today’s challenging times.
