LINER NOTES
The past
12 years have seen Cold Shott and The Hurricane Horns work to become a
powerful mainstay in the Arizona R&B, Blues and Soul circuits as well as performing at many special events
venues and concerts. We are excited for the
opportunity to share this live recording with our fans, new and old! This CD is a fun, raw, lively and an often-candid celebration of
the music that best defines the spirit of the band. It is a formal testament of the talents of
its members, many of whom have played professionally for 30+ years; not only
in Arizona but all across the United States!
We are especially excited to showcase the strong and soulfully inspired
vocals of our local legend, ‘Small Paul’ Hamilton,
who has entertained the Arizona and Southwestern U. S. crowds for 40 years. The band also presents this recording as a loving tribute to our
manager, bassist and founding member, Ted
“Madman” Kowal, who passed away in early July 2002. Ted’s 35 years of professional performance
in Arizona is pinnacled by his 12 years as the leader and heart of Cold Shott
and The Hurricane Horns. His uncanny
ability to keep as many as 10 band members successfully forging ahead with
his musical vision is a true inspiration. This CD was in his plans for the
last year or so. It is our pleasure to achieve one of Ted’s goals and to
include several tunes he authored……..in honor of the man that our families
call boss, big brother, best friend and, of course, husband and dad. Get up, dance and enjoy yourself !! ‘Cause if
you got the blues, don’t let it get you down…..dontcha
know we’ll be around!! Our sincerest thanks to……our
families, friends and fans who have supported our efforts and celebrated with
us all of these years….Bob Corritore,
Clarke Rigsby
and their staffs for their faithful support and generosity….George, Thad,
Gary, Spence, Larry, Bryan, Dennis and Lee for helping keep our
equipment in good repair….the club owners, agents, promoters and media for
their trust.…the Phoenix Blues
Society for believing in us….the local music dealers who always lend
a helping hand….an original Hurricane Horn, Jerry, for his gracious
contributions….all band members, past and present, for their talent and
inspiration….our fellow musicians for their friendship.…the Kowal Family for
encouraging us to keep on-track with Ted’s dream….and to Ted, who brought us
all together and invited us to play in his band! Cold
