Begun on January 4th with engineer Paul Lynch, TMJ set out to record our 5 best songs. Written by Cantor Steve Hevenstone, they are a blend of classic Rock, World beats, traditional Hebrew verse and more … I’m very excited that TMJ can finally share its sounds with fans outside of live performances. ~Nick

Dear Friends, I’m pleased to bring you my AMAZING review by Southeast Performer Magazine! Thank you for all the support I’ve received over the years! ~Nick

“Nick Edelstein – Live In 2007
Recorded by Robb Holmes, Cliff Anderson, and by Nick Edelstein
Mixed by Nick Edelstein at NESS Records. Mastered by Ben Cornthwaite at Lakefront Studios in Conyers, GA.
Athens music native Nick Edelstein takes the listeners on a terrific ride through the world of blues with an online release of live recordings held in venues throughout the Southeast.
A record chock-full of strong blues material including classic blues standards such as “Crossroads,” “Stormy Monday” and “Hound Dog,” the artist’s handywork on lead guitar is impeccably precise, as each live song spills with fervent balance, delivering punchy lead solos galore.
Edelstein also shows his intimate and personal side with soft-spoken material, on endearing works such as originals, “Sign From Above,” flawlessly recorded at Athens radio station, WUGA-FM, and “Ripple,” recorded at Pucketts Farm in Charlotte, NC.
Although much of the live recordings are very murky and muddy, what is most important is Edelstein’s craftsmanship on blues guitar.
“Crossroads” churns the album from the start, launching the album’s fiery energy and tenacity from the get-go. Certainly a highlight displaying his most superior guitar work falls in the intro and throughout “Red House,” a dazzling, mesmerizing statement of guitar-driven blues-rock.
Much of the record has some breathtaking guitar work, and his voice suits the blues man, with performances of liquid gold, compared to the swift speed of a dozen horses at Churchill Downs, as notes flourish like a roaring freight train.
Though he has much room to grow and improve, his potential is boundless. He even throws in some great riffs and chops that speak of his influences, possibly reminiscing Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Santana’s artistry comes to fruition in a frighteningly well-spoken version of “Europa.”
It’s good to hear much of Edelstein’s background through short bits of interviews on WUGA-FM, as he dwells into his work, and his further studies in Comparative Literature. (NESS Records) – Shawn M. Haney, http://www.performermag.com”

So, I was selected via Sonicbids.com to be reviewed in an issue of Performer Magazine, one of the nation’s most prominent Music trade mags. That was sometime in Fall of 2007. Then, I released Live In 2007 on December 1st (’07). Then I sent the record off to Southeast Performer Mag. And I just found out today that it will be in the May issue!!! I’m very excited, to say the least. Since they selected me, I’m thinking it will be a positive review. I’m so excited!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all your support and don’t forget to read the May issue. “v.2.0″ of this post will probably happen in 4 weeks
