As usual, a lot of music was sent to us this year and I believe I may have set a personal record by reviewing 40 discs. Some of the artists were virtual unknown bands - familiar only to their local following - and others were Blues Music Award and Grammy Award Nominees. Some were from my back yard here in Florida and others were from all over the world.
Again this year, the BLEWZZY AWARD - an award I give based solely on my personal favorites of all the music I've reviewed - will be given for the "Best Song" and the "Best CD".
There were way too many songs that deserved honorable mention, so on this category I'll just cut to the chase. The runner up for "Song Of The Year" is Cee Cee James for her wonderful work, and all too true lyrics, on "White Picket Fence".
And, the 2009 BLEWZZY AWARD for "Song Of the Year" goes to Blues Dragon for their absolutely phenomenal work on "Livin' On Death Row", from their "Blues Dragon" CD.

In the "Best CD" category, honorable mention goes to several blues ladies - Karen Lovely for "Lucky Girl" and Cee Cee James for "Low Down Where the Snakes Crawl". The runner up is The Alabama Blues Machine for their excellent disc titled "Must Be Love".
And now, BIG CONGRATULATIONS go out to the winner of the 2009 BLEWZZY AWARD for "Best CD" - Mr. John Primer for his masterpiece titled "All Original".

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to each and every one of you for helping to make - and keep - www.Mary4Music.com a very successful website.
