LiveWire Awards 2012: Best music in the Valley. Our thanks to Donnie Moorhouse
Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze, “Live in Germany” – Wally Greaney has been touring Germany with Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze for almost 20 years now. With a rabid and growing fan base overseas, Greaney decided to put the live experience literally and figuratively “on the record.” Recorded live at Wodan Hall in Freiburg, the CD showcases SDCB’s electric blues output. Greaney is a harp master and he is joined here by Thomas Lipps (bass), Peter Perfido (drums), and guitarist Uwe Herr.
The #1 German Blues magazine "Bluesnews" had said this about the CD
Why this band is not in the line up of more European festivals is one of the big mysteries only the music business can answer. Who wants to prove if the words I say here are right, just hear the new CD of this German-American 4 man band ! "
Blues Revue 2012
Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze hits a career peak
on the tough Live In Germany. On this largely
uptempo set, Wally “Sweet Daddy” Greaney is
singing better than ever; the lone slow number,
Casey Bill Weldon’s blues ballad “Outskirts Of
Town,” reveals no vocal deficiencies beyond a
questionable instinct to leap at random into
falsetto. His harmonica breaks are generally strong
in tone and dramatic construction. The band –
Thomas Lipps (bass), Peter Perfido (drums), and
Uwe Herr (guitar) – is rock-solid, playing with a
clear awareness of dynamics and taste. Herr
deserves special mention for his fine, clean Fender
tones, crafty note choice, fresh phrasing, and,
especially, for his solo choruses in “Driving
Wheel,” played via tuning peg manipulation.
The CD is available @ CD Baby.com /sweetdaddycoolbreeze. You'll like it!

The DVD From Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze.
Because the band won’t be touring any time soon in the states they released a DVD
This 13 song one hour + show was recorded for the Don Odell’s Blues Time TV show.
This is a great way for the band to introduce themselves to a bigger blues audience . The DVD will be a great addition to any blues fans collection.

Hi Everybody. As you may or may not know. The late Ken Johnson drummer extraordinaire was a co founder of the S.D.C.B band in 1987. Kenny left the S.D.C.B. band in 1990 to join Kenny Neal. Before that Kenny was the drummer for the James Cotton band for thirteen years. Well, with the Website www.youtube.com Kenny’s music lives on. On youtube type James Cotton in the search bar. There are four songs with Kenny.
You’ll see one of the best blues Drummers of his generation.
