Kenne CannonBall Cramer

Take some catchy original songs, add infectious grooves with top notch guitar playing, then throw in a band of groove meisters featuring Johnny Neel on keys and you end up with a debut CD that will be in your player more often than not ... Kenne Cramer's "Midnite Ride."

Midnite Ride, the debut CD by Kenne "CannonBall" Cramer, former sideman for Lee Roy Parnell, T. Graham Brown, Ronnie Milsap and Engelbert Humperdink, is something to turn on and take a joy ride with down the blues highway. While driving on the bluesy side of the road, Kenne "CannonBall" Cramer draws from all of his influences, including jazz, soul, rock, funk, and of course the blues. Check out the soulful "Sweet on Me", or the rockin' "Christine", or how about the T-Bone meets Robben Ford sound on "Midnite Ride.” From Memphis to Texas, to the Delta and New Orleans & beyond, you can take a road trip without ever leaving the house. Backed by seasoned contemporary blues players, featuring keyboard wiz Johnny Neel (Allman Brothers, Dickie Betts), and sax man Dennis Taylor (Duke Robillard, Grooveyard), you just can't miss.
