Just My Luck, the latest album from the Terry Quiett Band, is an album that proves that music is just as much about feeling and expression as it is technique and ability. While Quiett is obviously a very good musician from a technical standpoint (which is proven by his unbelievable vocals on "Close to You” and gutsy guitar solos on "Satisfied” and "Getting Through to Me”), most of the album is very simple, but it is also extremely genuine and heartfelt...
~ bluesrockreview.com Terry Quiett plays saloon music. It’s an all-American blend of blues, rock and jazz.
Just my luck is the blues man’s refrain; if it wasn’t for bad luck I wouldn’t have any luck at all. It wasn’t luck that made Quiett winner of the 2010 Blues Society of the Ozarks Blues Challenge. He plays solid journeyman guitar that recalls heroes from Johnny Winter to
George Thorogood.
Quiett’s a man of the Midwest. There’s the rawness and beauty of windswept plains and harsh weather in his unvarnished sounding vocals. All songs are his originals, and they’re about the heart-wrenching realities of life. "Some People” concerns small towns all over the country being ground down by the shaky economy and the despair that often follows.
The majority of compositions, however, memorialize romantic entanglements. Lucky in love hasn’t been the hand dealt to Quiett, but we’re fortunate to hear the musical result.
