Jim, Blaise and Terry first teamed up on the 2011 release "Just My Luck" (on Lucky Bag Records) taking the Terry Quiett Band sound to an entirely new level. By the end of 2011 it was listed as one of the top 100 played CD's on the Roots Music Report Blues Chart for the year. They joined forces again in the spring of 2012 to record a live CD which was released on July 31, 2012. "A Night at the Orpheum" is getting fantastic reviews from the blues world. They have had a Top 100 Blues album in 2011 and a live album that has made a great mark in the blues world as well. In 2014, Terry and Blaise have created a masterpiece that will show the Delta Roots and an Electric Soulful side of the band. This will be released in March on Lucky Bag Records called "Taking Sides". 12 scorching, soulful originals, along with one classy cover, range from raw country blues to grooving R&B driven hard by bassist Nathan Johnson and drummer Rodney Baker and augmented by "Mississippi" Hal Reed (harp), Scott Williams (keyboards and tenor sax), Brad Turgeon (trumpet) and Jordan Northerns (trombone).
During this time, the Terry Quiett Band has shared the stage with legends including Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, B.B. King, Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter, Walter Trout, Robin Trower, Tab Benoit, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Bernard Allison, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, .38 Special, Dave Mason and Los Lonely Boys.
Review highlights of the NEW release "Taking Sides" on Lucky Bag Records..."Electric blues and rock fans searching for a new guitar hero need look no further than Terry Quiett, roaring from the heartland like a tornado on his latest, greatest release." "continues the musical onslaught, revealing Quiett as the new "King of the Slide," with chilling commentary" "while building drama to the uplifting choruses. Johnson and Baker provide unexcelled support and a groove that will not quit" "The undulating, funky" "his spectacular, unleashed, extended solo a centerpiece speaking wordless volumes about loss and regret in a devastatingly emotional performance..." "Terry Quiett has created a modern masterpiece of scarifying, testifying, exulting blues, every track an exciting, inspiring musical statement that embeds itself in the mind and body. Talent this extraordinary only comes along every so often." - Dave ( Doctor Blues Man)Rubin, Award winning Blues Guitar Magazine writer 2014
