#ElizaNealsandtheNarcotics still TOPoftheCharts on #RootsMusicReport 3rd NYC ⭐️ 9th #BluesRock 🔪 31th #Blues 📻 Thank You Radio Peeps 🎶 ⭐️ #BigCityBluesMag June/July Review: #10000FeetBelow "Eliza Neals started as a classically trained piano and opera #prodigy but was unsatisfied with the direction her music was taking until she met #BarrettStrong of #Motown fame. As her #mentor he guided her in the ways of #RhythmandBlues, unearthing her songwriting and performing skills. With three award-winning cd's under her belt. "10,000 Feet Below" is her second collaboration with guitarist @howardglazer . Eliza has taken complete charge of this offering as #producer, #songwriter, all #vocals and #keyboards with Glazer backing on all but two tracks along with a variety of rhythm sections. Starting with a lone guitar and hand claps Eliza moans out "Cleotus," a sparse back porch chant sweetened by her own harmony vocals and slide guitar. She follows this with "Another Lifetime' adding #organ while her voice and Glazer's guitar flow freely together really letting her vocals soar.

Her voice rings out over the band toughly singing "#YouAintMyDogNoMore" as a slippery slide answers each line and Eliza doubles down with her own backing vocals. Using her feminine wiles Eliza entices with vocals quiet to a velvety whisper cutting through "Call Me #Moonshine." Eliza warns of the dangers of going "Downhill on a Rocket" as a slide guitar whines behind her vocals that invoke swamps, alligators, #voodoo against a crooked smile as her own backing vocals and brew the song into a slow burn. The sparse arrangement of "#MerleDixon" has a taut squawking guitar against Eliza sweetly pleading to shut your mouth. "Cold Cold Night" has the softer guitar of @paulnelsonband slipping between Eliza's piano as her layered vocals soar through this power #ballad..."
