throughout the US as well as Europe and Japan. Davy
MacFarlance, writer for Blues Matters, (UK's most read blues
magazine), says Ana Popovic"…could be fighting for a space
in a crowded field given the amount of blues' women around
like Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedesch and the most "Excellent Sue
G. Wilkinson."
Sue has performed in
England as well as Scotland, including high profile gigs at
Burnley International Blues Festival, The Lemon Tree in
Aberdeen Scotland, The 12 bar club in London, The Musician
in Leicester and The Studio in Hartlepool. In addition to
these great gigs, some of her favorite performances were in
Japan where she performed twice through two different cherry
blossoms festivals and spent a great deal of time
entertaining her Asian fans. Denmark is the home of her
former label Ap Records, and Lu and toured there twice.
No reason to wonder why Sue

others.

Her first EP, "Forget Me

songs on the EP, and it was produced by award winning
producer, Joey Stuckey, at Shadow Sound Studios in Macon,
Georgia.
Doc Henderson
Doc Henderson grew up in
Atlanta, Georgia and as the son of a Baptist minister, was
introduced early on to the sound of gospel and church music.
With groups such as Wendy Bagwell and the Sunlighters and
the LeFevres providing the music on a Sunday afternoon, Doc
quickly developed an appreciation of words and the power
they hold lyrically.
In the 70's Doc moved to
Augusta, Georgia to study medicine and it was here that he
wrote his first song, "You Don't Know Yet." A few years
later whilst reunited with his childhood piano, his musical
interest progressed and he began writing songs and composing
music. This interest grew after hanging out backstage with
Billy Roberts – songwriter of "Hey, Joe" – as well as
listening to Billy's personal rendition of "Hey, Joe" in his
living room while Billy lived with Doc for over a year in
Atlanta.
Having no real formal
training, Doc Henderson is self-taught and composes using
guitar and the piano, jotting down lyrical ideas whenever
the words come to him. With influences as diverse as Bob
Dylan, Jimmy Buffett and Leonard Cohen, he produces a sound
mainly echoing country and rockabilly, with occasional
moments of rhythm and blues.
When Clarence Carter was
looking for a great cover for his 1980s album Dr. C. C.,
featuring the release of his world-famous song "Strokin',"
he called on Doc to help produce the album cover, which
features Clarence examining a real skeleton.
Doc has worked with
publicist Dominic Brendell, an Englishman whose father
played on several songs with the Beatles. And some of Doc's
early demos featured several members of the Atlanta Rhythm
Section, as well as two members of the old James Brown band.
"Having people like Dean
Daughtry of ARS play keyboards for me and St. Clair Pinckney
of James Brown's band play a killer saxophone on several of
my songs was a real thrill and a great learning experience
early on," says Doc.
In the past few months Doc
Henderson has been busy at work in the studio, collaborating
with musicians from Georgia. Recently performing artist Kim
Meeks (Macon Music CD. Vol. 1) met up with Doc Henderson to
record his song, "Lately," co-written with Joey Stuckey and
recorded at Shadow Sound Studio in Macon. Doc has also
written and produced several comedy songs, along with
producing several cuts by Memphis recording artist Carl
White.
Doc Henderson has released
a 12-song CD called Hangover Blues, which is available on
CDBaby and iTunes. Doc's latest release, in April 2016, is a
re-cut off of that album of his upbeat country song "A Steel
Guitar, A Honky-Tonk Bar and A Good Woman." Doc and Joey
Stuckey had Macon, Georgia artist perform the vocals Frank
Wilder for this one, and that single is now available on
CDBaby and iTunes.

Various Artists
Joey Stuckey Presents: Ladies of the South
Review by G. W. Hill
The title pretty much describes this set. The mix of sounds
here leans more often toward bluesy rock, but there really
is quite a range. There are some things here that kind of
lose me, while others work extremely well. Of course, that's
typical for a various artists type of thing. —G.W. Hill
Track by Track Review
What You See Ain't What
You Get - Shadow Bandits featuring Sue Lu
This hard rocker has a lot of blues rock in the mix. In some
ways it makes me think of Heart just a little.
Everybody's Pretty - Kim
Meeks
There is a short little weird electronic based movement at
the start. Then it works out to a rather bluesy rocking cut.
Start Over - Hugh
Hession featuring Camille Scoggins & Sue Tomlin
Piano leads this cut out at the start. The cut is a pretty
balladic piece of music. This is one of my favorites here.
With You - Someday Merry
featuring Eline Chavez
I dig this rocker. It's built on a classic sound and has
both mellower and more hard edged territory.
Danish Cookies Is My
Name - Vanessa Moses
This is unexpected. It seems like Bjork, but with a real
Latin element at its heart. Artsy and yet fun, this is so
cool. This is weird, but I absolutely love it. This is
probably my favorite tune here.
Box Labeled Questions -
Tyler Moore featuring Camille Scoggins
I love this jazzy, bluesy number. It's another highlight of
the set.
Lonely Boulevard -
Katherine Daniel
I'm not really a fan of this rocker.
Letting Go
The Vineyard Band featuring Amber Pierce & Heidi Clinite -
More of a country ballad styled piece, this is a cool tune.
Home - Louise Warren
A bit more of an alternative rocker, I like this one quite a
bit.
Lately (Morning Dove,
Mourning Sparrow) - Doc Henderson featuring Kim Meeks
Old school soulful sounds are the idea here. This is mellow
and rather pretty. It doesn't work that well for me, though.
I dig the cool instrumental work at the end of the piece.
Something More - Stacy
Hostler
I really love piano on this cut. The tune starts mellower,
but eventually works to more rocking territory.
Johnny 9 (Blind Man
Remix) - TATB featuring Rachel Elkins
I really like this harder rocking number. It's a cool cut.
In fact, it's another highlight. |

Review: Ricky Kej
"Ladies Of The South is a
grand album with some truly mind-blowing songs performed by
twelve supremely talented female artists. This is an awesome
project and worth multiple listens. From "What You See Ain't
What You Get (feat. Sue Lu)", that has sassy lyrics and
attitude coming out of each chord to Kim Meeks' marvelous
vocals in "Everybody's Pretty", and from "With You (feat.
Eline Chavez)" powerful voice to Vanessa Moses' sultry
voiced "Danish Cookies Is My Name", I loved each and every
one of the twelve tracks. Produced marvelously and with
great love, this album rocks!!"

Review:
Keys and Chords
That the American South - fantastic bands and music houses
has long been no hidden secret. Producer Joey Stuckey, the
official ambassador for the music of his hometown of Macon,
Georgia now has twelve songs written which were played by
Southern female artists and sung. This compilation album
encompasses a dozen diversities and musical styles. Shadow
Bandits feat. Sue Lu may open the dance with the blues
rocker "What You See Is Not What You Get," which is quickly
cooled by the blues tinged "Everybody's Pretty" by Kim Meeks
and the slow ballad "Start Over" by Hugh Hession feat.
Camille Scoggins and Sue Tomlin. The pop and rock tinged
"With You" by Someday Merry feat. Eline Chavez is in
pleasant contrast to the salsa-feeling Vanessa Moses and her
song "Danish Cookies Is My Name". Camille Scoggins and Tyler
Moore are back with poppy "Box Labeled Questions" and come
in antithesis with rock arrangements of "Lonely Boulevard"
by Katherine Daniel. The folky "Letting Go" by The Vineyard
Band feat. Amber Pierce and Heidi Clinite runs in the
orchestral spirituality of "Home" by Louise Warren. The
acoustic "Lately" (Morning Dove, Mourning Sparrow) by Doc
Henderson feat. Kim Meeks goes along with the piano guided
"Something More" with excellent singer Stacy Hostler. The
band TATB feat. Rachel Elkins may be vastly experienced in a rock
manner, terminate the dance with the song "Johnny 9".

"Ladies of the South"
Reviewed on Fatea
Highly respected producer Joey
Stuckey is the brains behind the "Ladies of the South"
compilation, a showcase for female musicians from Macon,
Georgia. A strong-willed attitude, powerful vocals and the
sound of soft rock guitars unite these 12 tracks.
The impetus for the project
came from the recording of the first song, "What You See
Ain't What You Get", by the Shadow Bandits featuring Sue Lu.
Joey co-wrote the track with Charlie Hoskyns of The Popes,
Will Morrison of Modern English and Paul McGuinness of The
Pogues and needed someone with the attitude of Janis Joplin
to sing it. Joey says Sue Lu was the perfect choice and it's
a stirring declaration of independence for strong women.
The other tracks come from
acts recorded by Joey over the past six years.
"Danish Cookies Is My Name" by
Vanessa Moses is the most catchy and upbeat, with a cheeky
attitude and Latin rhythms.
Another standout is "Lately
(Morning Dove, Mourning Sparrow)" by Doc Henderson featuring
Kim Meeks, about a woman watching her marriage fall apart
and it stands a fair comparison to Rosanne Cash.
Stacy Hostler's "Something
More" is beautifully sung with some heartfelt piano backing.
A welcome surprise - a
collection of regional tracks from the States which avoid
the clichés of Americana.

Review:
Let It Rock - VARIOUS ARTISTS – Joey Stuckey Presents Ladies
Of The South A
courteous cross-section of talent from the land of the
sultry song.
There's nothing a Southern
belle couldn't conquer – everybody knows it since "Gone With
The Wind" – and, having produced some of those, Joey Stuckey
stumbled upon an idea of gathering the regional crops which
resulted in this concise anthology. A blues maven, as his
own albums suggest, the guitarist needed a voice to deliver
a feminist demand for respect on the punchy "What You See
Ain't What You Get" that he co-wrote with THE POPES, and Sue
Lu proved to be a suitable belter, and that's how it all
started, yet the genre gamut of the dozen cuts on display is
much wider.
It's not about civil rights
or defiance, though, what with Vanessa Moses' infectious
salsa of "Danish Cookies Is My Name" or the hard rocking
"Lonely Boulevard" from Katherine Daniel which embrace
purely romantic notions. More so, there's acceptance of
domestic turmoil in the folky "Letting Go" by THE VINEYARD
BAND and Kim Meeks' "Everybody's Pretty" that turns pop
idiom upside down, while "Home" by Louise Warren wraps it in
orchestral spirituality, and Stacy Hostler's voice and piano
elevate "Something More" to a chamber vibrancy. But TATB and
Rachel Elkins' "Johnny 9" finds the joy of life in blues,
its "Blind Man" refrain a reference to Stuckey's ability to
sense a talent without seeing. That's the Southern way.

In the "Ladies Of The South" -

among other things with music greats like Alan Parsons,

Ann Carlini's Review:
Title - 'Joey Stuckey
Presents: Ladies of the South' / Artist - Various
For those not in the know,
The South has produced some amazing musical artists over the
decades. Acts like Lady Antebellum, R.E.M., the B52’s, the
Allman Brothers, Wet Willie, Jason Aldean, Little Richard,
Otis Redding, James Brown, Jennifer Nettles, Trisha Yearwood,
Indigo Girls, Black Crows, Collective Soul and many many
more have pleasured us (if you pardon the expression) down
through the years via our radio airwaves.
Here on Joey Stuckey
Presents: Ladies of the South, blind Producer Joey Stuckey,
official ambassador of music for his hometown of Macon,
Georgia, has collected 12 songs written or performed by
female artists from the south and showcased them in this
compilation of exciting and powerful women!
On a stunning, and
amazingly fresh sounding compilation you will find multiple
genres covered, but it also serves as a shining example of
what The South means to music lovers all over the world!
1. "What You See Ain't What
You Get" - Shadow Bandits feat. Sue Lu
2. "Everybody's Pretty" - Kim Meeks
3. "Start Over" - Hugh Hession (feat. Camille Scoggins & Sue
Tomlin)
4. "With You" - Someday Merry (feat. Eline Chavez)
5. "Danish Cookies Is My Name" - Vanessa Moses
6. "Box Labeled Questions" - Tyler Moore (feat. Camille
Scoggins)
7. "Lonely Boulevard" - Katherine Daniel
8. "Letting Go" - The Vineyard Band (feat. Amber Pierce &
Heidi Clinite)
9. "Home' - Louise Warren

Meeks]
11. "Something More" - Stacy Hostler
12. "Johnny 9 (Blind Man Remix)" - TATB [feat. Rachel
Elkins]
Up first is fireball track
"What You See Ain't What You Get" from the Shadow Bandits
featuring Sue Lu, and that's backed by both the night club
hue of "Everybody's Pretty" from Kim Meeks and then one of
my most favorite tracks out of the dozen, "Start Over" from
Hugh Hession feat. Camille Scoggins & Sue Tomlin). It truly
is a most beautiful, haunting at times cut and fully
deserves as much radio airplay as anything that I've heard
in a long, long time.
Next up is "With You" from
Someday Merry (feat. Eline Chavez) which is followed by the
uber-fun '30s flashback aura of "Danish Cookies Is My Name"
from Vanessa Moses, the stunning, liberating, soaring "Box
Labeled Questions" from Tyler Moore (feat. Camille
Scoggins), and then both the guitar-thrashing "Lonely
Boulevard" from Katherine Daniel, and the first really
Country-vibed track, "Letting Go" by The Vineyard Band feat.
Amber Pierce & Heidi Clinite.
Then comes Louise Warren's
lovely, heartfelt "Home", which is yet another of my
stand-out favorites on this great compilation. Next up is
"Lately (Morning Dove, Mourning Sparrow)" from Doc Henderson
(feat. Kim Meeks), and that is backed by the ballad
"Something More" from Stacy Hostler, before the whole
project comes to a close with "Johnny 9 (Blind Man Remix)"
by TATB featuring Rachel Elkins.

Midwest Record's Review:
SENATE RECORDS
JOEY STUCKEY PRESENTS LADIES OF THE SOUTH/various: These
ladies of the south aren't a bunch of pageant material,
sorority sisters. This is a bunch of sisters doing it for
themselves, whether guitar slingers, sweet voiced attitude
problems or everyone in between. A well stocked, well
balanced sampler of artists produced by Stuckey over the
last 6 years, the well traveled rocker knows his stuff and
has a finely tuned ear for cherry picking talent. There's
some mighty fine, fun stuff on the horizon. |

The Shadow Bandits Debut Their UK - US Collaboration On
Madame Perry's Salon - 8/16/16 Show |
|
Here are some of the
favorite tracks as
reviewed from Music Perk (click here for the full review): The opening track, "What You See
Ain't What You Get" by The Shadow Bandits featuring Sue Lu, starts
off with a medley of strong guitar riffs and drums before the shrill
lead vocals of assumedly Sue Wilkinson make you nod your head to the
music. This song gives you a taste of what it would've been like if
Janis Joplin collaborated with The Runaways.
Track number two is Kim Meek's
"Everybody's Pretty" which starts off with mellow echoing of
"everybody's pretty / when they're Young" and quickly turns into an
eclectic mix of jangle and baroque pop. Kim's energetic vocals tell
a fascinating story that remind you of Kate Bush's unmatched style
of music.
The final track is TATB's
"Johnny 9 (Blind Man Remix)" and features Rachel Elkins on lead
vocals. It is a concoction of grungy guitar, shrill vocals and a
dreamy rhythm – everything you need for a song to be compelling.
