About the Album

The Blues Disciples are back with their third studio release, “Gravy Train”!!  This popular band out of Milwaukee WI has a history of over 30 years of Blues Music performance. This album introduces the wonderfully talented Miss Erica Johnson and her distinct voice and style including two of her original songs.  All of the additional tracks being penned by, Barefoot Jimmy Schwarz.  The song writing is original, engaging, clever, and deep.  The grooves are steeped in tradition and dripping with fresh soul.  The musicianship is purely top shelf.  The entire package is a lethal combination of modern and traditional Blues that will become a part of your collection that gets returned to frequently.  Tom Sobel has written powerful horn lines that come with a wide array of tone and emotion, ranging from tastefully colorful embellishment to a firm punch in the gut, and most places in between.
