CD Review by Dan Aloi:

Blue Sky Mission Club: "Zydeco Nation" (note: The title of the CD has been changed to "Riding The Horizon" since this review was written).

For a local zydeco band to be invited to the big-time parties of the Finger Lakes GrassRoots and Great Blue Heron festivals, they had better be good.

Blue Sky Mission Club is better than good. The band is unique.

While most zydeco groups are content to let the accordian pump along on cover songs and traditional material, Blue Sky leader London McDaniel makes the guitar an undeniable force in the band. His soaring psychedelic runs on electric guitar and pedal steel glide above the two-step rhythm to make something new out of something familiar.

Some of the original songs carry a reggae lilt, others have Saturday night grit, and soulful lead singer Lisa Gould can handle both easily.

The band also includes bassist Charlie Shew, accordionist Pete Laba, fiddler Joseph Prusch, rubboard player Rob Delphous and drummer Luke Bernthon

Blue Sky Mission Club's next show is Saturday night at the Rongovian Embassy in Trumansburg.
