Joel Sutton Rhythm & Blues Revue - Vol 1
Joel Sutton is a drummer with over 30 years of experience in the music business. Having worked with many leading Australian acts across a wide variety of genres, blues and roots music still remains his first love.
He was a band member of The Bondi Cigars, The Mal Eastick Band and the legendary Johno's Blues Band. As a freelance drummer Joel has worked with The Hippo's, The Foreday Riders, Vika and Linda, James Reyne, Chris Wilson, Ali Penney And The Money Makers and too many more to list.
Joel has toured extensively, and appeared on television with Chuck Berry's right hand man and American piano great, Johnnie Johnson.
With the transition from freelance drummer to music production, Joel wanted to share his love of rhythm and blues music by assembling some of Australia's finest roots musicians on one album.

This album is a love letter to the songs that have inspired and influenced Joel's 30-plus year journey through a life in music – in the studio, on the road, and the many characters he's met along the way.
Joel has recruited a mix of Aussie R&B royalty plus some hot new talent to reimagine 11 classic songs that encapsulate the extremes of the human condition and everything in between: Rhythm and Blues. Euphoria and Melancholy. Pleasure and Pain.
Special guests include:
Vika Bull, Shane Pacey, Jeff Lang, Steve Hoy, Simon Cox, Zkye Compson-Harris, Johno Johnson, Ezra Lee, Tim Griffin, Choc Eriwata, Darren Jack, Simon Chapman, PJ O'Brien, Tommy TBone, Mitch Grainger, Lindsay Wells, Stefan Hauk, Jeb Cardwell, Grant Cummerford, Michael Vidale, Damien Steele Scott, Jarrah Jones, Tammy Moxon and Kendal Daines.
"This album has been a privilege to produce, both in working with the best in the industry, as well as reuniting with old friends and discovering new ones. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we've all enjoyed making it."
- Joel Sutton, Lonesome Belle Music.

Praise for joel sutton rhythm & blues revue - vol 1
You might incorrectly think that Joel Sutton pulled this project together as a response to the recent COVID-19 crisis, but his idea of remotely recording and then tracking this album predates any pandemic!
Joel, who plays drums on each of the tracks, brings together a selection of 25 Australian musicians for this 11-track release, recorded in 15 various studio spaces from every state of this country as well as Mitch Grainger's L.A. studios. It includes some well-known names as well as lesser known, regional musicians…hopefully exposing all to a wider audience.
Matching each of the artists and piecing together every one of the well-chosen tracks takes a skillful ear and vast technical skill, Joel and his various assistants have this in spades, going by his excellent release.
Volume 1? Already up for the volume 2!
- Anthony Moulay (presenter of "Blues from The Bay" BayFM 99.9, Byron Bay, and Coordinator of the "Australian Blues & Roots Airplay Charts")
"It's all about connections. Albert Collins was my first massive influence on guitar and it was great connecting with all the musicians on this track - even if it was virtual."
- Shane Pacey, (Bondi Cigars, The Shane Pacey Trio)
"Joel and I played together in Sydney in the early 2000's with John Power and others. We've been Hippos - although at different times - and shared other musical associates.
I'd been playing 'Ain't Nobody Here But Me' for a while, hearing it first on a great Chicago blues compilation 'Rare Gems' by the wonderful pianist Little Brother Montgomery. It was a treat to play this with Joel and Grant Cummerford on a sweaty February afternoon. They're a powerful rhythm section and the addition of Simon Chapman on piano allowed the song to roll as well as rock."
- Steve Hoy.
"I'm humbled and honoured to be part of this album. I'm sure it will be successful and the result is a credit to Lonesome Belle Music and Joel".
- Tim Griffin
"Great to be a part of a modern blues project. Being able to record with muse's situated anywhere, opens the world up."
- Zkye Compson-Harris

"I highly recommend Lonesome Belle Music to anyone requiring a professional music production service. These guys are on the ball and will surpass all expectations" - TIM GRIFFIN
"I recorded my own composition for the first time at Lonesome Belle and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Joel went above and beyond to ensure what was in my thoughts came out in the final production. Joel provided me with some great session musicians as well as his own great expertise on percussion. The mastering was done to a high degree of perfectionism and professionalism. I would totally recommend Lonesome Belle Studios to any musician, from the novice to the seasoned professional". - KENDAL DAINES
Joel, you are not only a pleasure to work with, but you work hard. Love the tracks you put together for Bodhi Sound Healing. You were keen to give working with Tibetan bowls and didgeridoo a go and the results are brilliant! I'm sure it wasn't easy! Really looking forward to even more recordings together. - JESS BROWN - Bodhi Sound Healing
