This week, Right Arm Resource turned 10 years old. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has made the last decade so successful and fun: The artists who made amaz- ing music worthy of airplay, the clients who entrusted me with it, the stations who took my calls and took the chances with their support, the friends who still can’t figure out what it is I do for a living, and my family who puts up with the loud guy in the front room every day. Bring on the next 10 years! Pitchfork pitches in with a great review for The Deslondes “The left hand invented rock’n’roll. That’s the hand that plays the bass lines on piano, the hand used by early keys pounders like Jerry Lee Lewis, Moon Mullican, and Fats Domino to put a little bit of boogie in their blues. That left hand gave “Great Balls of Fire” its lusty pep and “Blueberry Hill” its making-time thrill. So, when the Deslondes open their self-titled debut with a walking piano line played way, way down the left side of the key- board, they’re not just playing a rhythm that sounds distinctive in 2015 but also conveying an entire pop history that spans New Orleans rhythm and blues, early Memphis rock, Louisiana Hayride country, and every pick-up jazz band ever to busk on Royal Street.
