March 2013, Stanstead Qc – Just in time for the 2013 Blues & Jazz Festival season, Mike Goudreau is launching his 15th album, “Time For Messin’ Around”, comprising 11 songs with 8 new compositions and 3 covers from the Eastern Townships blues and jazzman. Says Goudreau: “We’ve got something here that might surprise blues fans old and new!” For the occasion, Goudreau is accompanied by long-time cronies Jonathan-Guillaume Boudreau on bass, Jean-François Bégin on drums, and the saxophonist David Élias on one song. Also appearing as special guest is Pascal “Per’’ Veillette, a very unique and talented harmonicist who brings a particular exotic flair with his participation on two songs. For “Time For Messin’ Around”, Goudreau goes back to the “roots’’ approach as he did on his 2006 album “The Grass Ain’t Greener”. The instrumentation is stripped down to the basic guitar, bass and drums on most tracks for a grittier sound, and most of the basic tracks were recorded live in the studio. This is a “party” vibe album, with the first track that sets the tone immediately, right on to the last one. A few funk rhythms, Texas shuffle, country blues, blues rock, Southern rock vibes that’ll make you want to dance your blues away!
"Time For Messin' Around", marks the 3rd release I have received from Mike Goudreau over the past 6 years, of which the previous 2, were 15th and 20th milestone celebrations with one of his other bands, The Boppin' Blues Band. In addition to the Mike Goudreau Band and Mike Goudreau & The Boppin' Blues Band, other incarnations of this multi-talented canadian artist included, The Goodmen Band, Mike Goudreau Jazz Band, and Mike Goudreau & Friends.

When it comes to his music, Mike Goudreau has certainly run the gauntlet of unique styles and content, which has frequently spanned the distance between Blues and Jazz, including jaunts into the realm of Reggae, Country, Funk, Soul, and Rock. Often comfortable exploring all the realms of music has lead him to put together a Classic Christmas album and a very popular tribute to Louis Armstrong titled "Thank You Louis".

"Time For Messin' Around" is Mike Goudreau's 14th album and consists of 11 tantalizing Tracks that once again show off Goudreau's never ending interest in a variety of genres, which for this release, includes romps into Funk, Texas Shuffle, Country Blues, Blues Rock, Southern Rock, and more, all culminating to what he likes to call, "a party vibe album". Included on this album, which has come to be a trademark of Goudreau's, is an authentic and soulful blues song, done in French.

Of the 11 Tracks on "Time For Messin' Around", 8 are new originals, written or co-written by Mike Goudreau, with fellow bandmates, Jonathan-Guillaume Boudreau and Jean-Francois Begin, co-writing 2 of the Tracks with Goudreau. For the 3 Covers, Mike Goudreau could not have offered up a more intriguing and interesting mix, which included, "Mind Your Own Business" (Hank Williams), "Wasn't That A Party" (Tom Paxton), and "She's A Woman" (Lennon/McCartney). In addition to Mike Goudreau (Lead Vocals/Guitars), Jonathan-Guillaume Boudreau (Bass), and Jean-Francois Begin (Drums), "Time For Messin' Around" also features, on various Tracks, David Elias (Tenor Sax), and Pascal Per Veillette (Harmonica).

Getting a sense as to just how much fun "Time For Messin' Around" is going to be, comes with the first notes of the first Track, which is the title Track. For this opener, we are treated to Blues flavored ala B.B. King and Albert Collins. Really nice opener and a great tone setter for the remaining of "Time For Messin' Around".

"Toss Down The Dice", comes at us with a great Funky feel, as Mike Goudreau and co-writers Jonathan-Guillaume Boudreau and Jean-Francois Begin offer up a humorous take on gambling at a casino, with as often pictured, the happy gambler, with one or more beautiful ladies by his side, as he confidently throws the dice. This crowd pleaser opens the Track with some nice Wah Wah Guitar playing.

For fans of Carlos Santana's Blues Styling, Track 3, "Awful Jealously" will be one to catch your attention, as Mike Goudreau and Company offer up this great Latin Tinged number. One of my early favorites on "Time For Messin' Around". A really well handled song, both Vocally and Musically.

"A little masterpiece of nonsense", is the way Hank Williams described his song "Mind Your Own Business", the first cover on "Time For Messin' Around" and although the original really can't be beat, Mike Goudreau, has still managed to do a awesome job with this song, essentially keeping the tempo pretty close and although he does it in a Stevie Ray Vaughan style, you still get that Country feel for it that Hank had. Great song and another one of my favorites.

"Time For Messin' Around" features 2 more great covers, "Wasn't That A Party" (Tom Paxton), and "She's A Woman" (Lennon/McCartney).

"Wasn't That A Party" is one of my favorite tunes from Canadian Irish Folk group, The Irish Rovers. Mike Goudreau and Company, once again applied their own unique style and for this one, they threw a little Funk into the mix. "Wasn't That A Party" has always been one of my favorite songs to listen to and now thanks to Goudreau, I can now listen to a great Cover of it, as well.

For "She's A Woman", Mike Goudreau had no problem capturing the essence of this Cover, and as with "Wasn't That A Party", he brilliantly added a little Funky style to it, which worked perfectly. Great singing on this number, very reminenscent of Paul MacCartney. A great closing Track.

The remainder of the great Tracks on "Time For Messin' Around", included the Contemporary Blues song, "Blame It On Addiction", a Swingin' Jump Blues number with a nice Rockabilly feel, "She's In The Pocket", a great tune done ZZ Top style, "Should Quite Your Drinkin'", a song that a few of my friends should take note of, a Country Blues/Rockabilly tune, "Love These Blues", and of course, the Trademark French song on the album, "J'essaieral de tenir debout", a wonderfully done bit of Slow Blues which was co-written by Mike Goudreau and longtime friend and co-composer Michel Aubin.

Pascal Per Veillette showed us all his wizardry on Harmonica on "Love These Blues", for which he has been called "Insane Talent" and his playing on this song called, "An Electrifying Performance".

I love great Sax work whenever I hear it, and David Elias certainly hit the spot, with his great Tenor Sax work on "Blame It On Addiction".

Failure to unimpress, is something that Mike Goudreau and which ever group he is with, manage to do brilliantly. His ability to offer up creative new takes on Covers, as well as, his ability to offer up refreshingly new Originals, is something that has certainly set Mike Goudreau and Company, apart.

Another great effort from Mike Goudreau and his cast of wonderful co-writers and musicians.

Thoroughly Enjoyed and Highly Recommended…
