Bonedog Records

This is a solid thirteen-song effort. Eugene, “The Georgia Night Crawler,” has been singing and playing the Blues in the Pittsburgh area for over thirty years. “Count on Me” was his first Bonedog CD. Eugene is currently in negotiations with Toyota for use of the title track.
Eugene wrote six of the thirteen songs on this CD. His songs are steeped in traditional Blues and R&B. They best highlight his deep, rich vocals. They are the sort of songs you find yourself singing long after a listen. The lyrics are that catchy! “My Sweat, Your Money” is a perfect example. This is one fine Blues number!
Mike Sweeney wrote six of the other songs that tend to lean towards a New Orleans sound. “Stoopin’ and Pickin’” could easily have been a Grateful Dead song. The best song was saved for last. “Whiskey House” is Blues the way it was meant to be.
Eugene’s guitar is solid through out, never overplaying. The list of players reads like a who’s who of Pittsburgh music. Fred Delu, Mike Sweeney, James Dougherty, James Hilton and even Bonedaddy, himself, lend some background vocals. Tom, “Little Buck,” Coyle is outstanding on harmonica. Catch Eugene live and then take this CD home. You will not be disappointed.
