The Blues According to the Gospel - AL JACQUEZ

Al Jacquez Meet one of the acclaimed voices and song writers of Americana Blues and Soul. I guarantee you've never heard anything like this on any Gospel radio station, but you should have. Al has been singing these gospel tunes in some of the smokiest blues and soul clubs from NY to LA. Finally, after years with several bands and labels, and encouragement from guys like me, he's stacked his best on a CD that's only available here and at his live concerts. This album is not even on iTunes. THE BLUES ACCORDING TO THE GOSPEL.

Please lick on the link and go this Al's webpage at Nineveh's Crossing and listen to the mp3 samples and read his bio. Then come back here and let us know what you think in the com box.

And please tell your friends. We have to  help this guy sell CDs and make a living, and write some more of this great music. You can sing to it, dance, and cry to them. Remember that name, Al Jacquez. But his CD today. Spread the Word.

Al Jacquez

I'm writing the business plan to a movie titled A DAUGHTER'S HOPE. It's the theatrical version to the effort a couple years ago we called TIGER'S HOPE. In the fall of 2009 we were a month from principal photography when our funding was pulled and we shut down. Now we're getting ready to try again. In the process I was editing into the BP bios for some of the key personnel. One is AL JACQUEZ who hopefully will play the husband of our protagonist. In the movie, as in real life, JAKE is sort of a rock star that never got the recognition he still deserves.

Al was the lead vocal for SAVAGE GRACE that years ago opened for the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Three Dog Night, The Who, Rod Stewart, Jethro Tull, Credence Clearwater Revival, John Sebastian, The Allmann Brothers, Grand Funk and others. 

His current band is MEASURED CHAOS (Blues, Soul, and Rock 'n Roll). We've caught several of their shows locally and really like the music and Al out front. Last year, out in L.A., they shot a music video for one of my favorite tunes titled LIVIN' THE DREAM. Here's the embedded Youtube link. If it hangs up playing, double click on the picture and you'll get better "reception" directly on YouTube. 



Check out SAVAGE GRACE's album "ONE NIGHT IN AMERICA" on iTunes. Al sings lead on most of the cuts.  The "COMIN' HOME" cut is a song about love for a woman and love of/for Jesus. That's Al belting it out. 
 

Al attends Northridge church in Plymouth, MI and often gets to sing during their extravaganzas. This next video is from their Christmas program a few years back. It's JOY TO THE WORLD.
