Release Notes

With the April 2006 release of New Used Car, powerhouse singer/songwriter/guitarist
Sue Foley has solidified her place as one of the leading lights of the contemporary blues scene. In the male-dominated field of blues music, she's proven she can sling a guitar with the best of them - and she's shared the stage with BB King, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy and George Thorogood, to name a few. But it's her remarkable songwriting skills and unique vocal style that set her apart from the pack. Foley's music is anything but your standard 12-bar blues; she revs up her tunes with a contemporary twist and moves the music forward. Not that she doesn't appreciate the traditional songs - she plays them as well, and has studied the genre ever since leaving home as a teenager, determined to make a career in music.
All songs on this DVD were recorded live at the Underground in Cologne/Germany on 6th December 2005.
If you've already had the chance to see her in concert, it'll take you back. If you haven't, it'll take you there.



Some quotes:


Sue Foley is so misleading. Not on purpose, mind you. When you talk to her she's refreshingly candid and upfront. But the first time you see her step on stage with her delicate features, slight build and pink paisley guitar, chances are "conventional" wisdom rears its trite old voice in your head and tells you to get ready for some folksy crap.
But then (and I love this part) she starts to play and kicks your butt. And the butt of every guitar player on the stage. It's true, I've seen her do it to some of the biggest names in guitar blues. Standing confidently but demurely to the side until it's her turn to step up and then she lets it rip!
Blue Lisa, Southwest Blues

Sue Foley is a major talent and deserving of much more attention then she is getting. If your looking for something new, look no further.
Richard Ludmerer
Director, The New York Blues and Jazz Society

For such an accomplished guitar virtuoso Foley is remarkable for her ability to hold back - her guitar doesn't come screaming out at you, it just nestles beautifully within the sturdy musical framework of each song and seems to ooze its way into the mix. New listeners could easily fail to realise that this lady's axe is a real hard hitting killer tool - such is the deftness of her style.
Peter J. Brown, Rhythm & Booze
