Really Great Blues April 29, 2006

I guess evryone has a different idea of what good blues are. I am 70 years old & have been listening to, & enjoying blues since I was 14 when a friend from louisiana introduced me to blues with Brownie McGhee singing "Diamond Ring". I am one of those people who think that white people cannot play, or sing blues. It seems as though most try to sound like the Rolling Stones or such. I buy a lot of blues music by people I have never heard of & am almost always disappointed. I bought this CD last week after hearing 3 30 second snippets of it and am not disappointed, this guy is great. I love this CD

There was a time when the blues had a sexy rhythm that made the girls go crazy. I thought those days were long past until I heard Paul Oscher's "Alone With The Blues". Watch out ladies! This man's got the feeling!
This is what blues should sound like!!! September 1, 2004

Upon the recommendation of a member of my Yahoo Blues Group went to Paul's site and ordered this CD "Alone With The Blues". I was totally blown away by the harmonica playing on this. You can actually hear and even feel the blues resonating from every note played. The CD is just what the title and the cover indicated; him playing alone by himself. Many artists today; even blues artists think they need a 10 piece group to sound good. Paul proves that you definitely do not. DO NOT MISS THIS CD!!

I first saw Paul Oscher play harmonica with Muddy Waters at the Gaslite cafe in New York's Greenwich Village, back in 1971. I remember the crowd going wild after every solo. He had a tone so deep, we went back two nights in a row. Last night, I was reading Living Blues magazine and there it was - an ad for "Alone With The Blues" by Paul Oscher on Electro-Fi. I quickly ordered the cd ... and what a joy it is. Opening up with "Walkin'", a mid-tempo instrumental, the chromatic harmonica sounds like a complete horn section. The vocals have a beautiful, down home feel. You don't get the overblowing of notes and histrionic vocals of many of his contemporaries. Oscher leaves space, going for the "less is more" approach. Dig the lonesome sound of "Standing At The Crossroads". At times, "Alone With The Blues" sounds as if he's backed by a full band. But it's only Mr. Oscher, alone, with echoes of Big Walter, Cotton - intertwined with Oscher's own original style. Pay attention to the standout slide-and-vocal on "Blues and Trouble" that is just riveting. Paul Oscher is a multi-instrumentalist who brings a gut-bucket-in-the-alley sound to every song on this CD. Harp players will find so many different positions utilizied by Oscher - and won't be disappointed. So get this CD, turn down the lights, and dig: because this is THE REAL DEAL.
Paul Oscher "alone with the blues" July 1, 2004

This is a fine cd from former Muddy Waters band member. It covers a wide range of blues styles and showcases Oscher as blues singer,songwriter and multi- instrumentalist on the harmonica ,guitar,piano and melodica, Oscher plays the melodica through a leslie speaker and it sounds like a hammond organ. The whole cd is deep,deep blues of the kind that you dont hear enough of theses days. Oscher learned his lessons well. One of the best real blues cds I've heard in a long time.
