Beautiful to be included in such a serious list of great blues singers, bands and players. "Show #92 celebrated some of the best known names in the Blues: legendary Chess songwriter, bassist, singer and arranger Willie Dixon, and Mississippi harmonica master Charlie Musselwhite." quote Brent (thanks). Show #94 includes the amazing sounds of Dr. John and Bonnie Raitt (2012 Grammy Winner Best Americana) plus my song "Misery" sandwiched between these two idols. Thank you RockinBlues, "messin with a fool" is in company with the iconic blues musicians and music of all time! We worked hard and it's paying off!
Thank you Brent for including me among the greats of Rock n Blues! Quick jump to 27:00 but I suggest listening to the whole episode!

"IN CHARGE"
“In Charge” goes down the voodoo road even further. Holy gris-gris! Hot and cold running gris-gris. This is the anthem for an in-charge woman. “I’m in charge, I’m in charge,” repeat. Note the wha wha, too, this is a nice touch. And so is both is the overdubbing of Neals’ voice, and her percussive acoustic [electric] guitar.” by George Seedorff (master blues ear & former president of Detroit Blues Society)

Closing
out this year on a mixed but melancholy mood. This time of year creates
different emotions in everyone especially with the recent tragedy in
Connecticut. It's a time of reflection and a chance to express our
gratitude for all that we have. I am reminded of many of us who are not
as fortunate. Holidays can be even more troubling knowing that special
someone will not be joining your family. I am saddened thinking about
the children that were lost recently to violence here in the USA. Many
of you have given some time sending prayers and healing thoughts to the
families in need. I ask you to extend these feelings to the numerous
suffering people worldwide. May we be committed to the lives we lead
with love and appreciation for the simple things.
Now on to Some GOOD NEWS!
The German online-magazine WASSER-PRAWDAhas NOMINATED
"Eliza
Neals might be known to some as “the Detroit Diva” but her music is
L.A.-ready! Neals states: "L.A. is thirteen counties wrapped up into one
city, not one part is the same. Sort of like my music, its sound and my
voice... gritty-sweet-dangerous-n-curvy blues rock."

I also received a great reviewfrom Wasser-Prawda in May 2012, you will need to translate but here is a portion:
“Eliza Neals “The Detroit Diva” is the name: This Diva has claws and sharp teeth… Eliza Neals is really not the faint-hearted would-be pop chick, presented to us on the talent shows again and again. She is a rock singer with associated roots in blues and soul.”

I was asked by my cool friend Kenny Olson the Nashville Based, Detroit Hometown Unreal Guitarist to a NY gig and of-course I said YES! Kenny and I shared the stage with a friend and musician AJ who was killed over music. Kenny told me "AJ was here with us tonight" and I felt him. We performed a few songs at Iridium, but Stevie's "Superstition" was the one we performed at AJ's memorial 'Lovefest.' Thank you Kenny, I look forward to gigging with you again soon.

REVIEWS
“This album of “Stiletto Blues” first came
out in January, but it keeps finding itself back in the news and for a
very good reason… Neals good looks, husky sultry growl, and “Stiletto
Blues” stage presence, as well as world class songs are the reason this
one keeps finding new spots on the various blues, R&B and rock
stations.”
“Neals was able to make this album a great reflection of her influences… Neals’ soulful voice rings out on the first track, “Misery.”… “Messin With A Fool” is a solid album and a great start for Eliza Neals.” Blues Rock Review October 2012
Ten Months after the release of "messin with a fool" were still getting great reviews thank you! We worked hard on the album so we appreciate the time taken to write!
