Video for The Making of Album STANDIN’ PAT
A behind the scenes look at the making of Standin' Pat, the new album from The Lucky Losers on Vizztone and created at Kid Andersen's Greaseland Studios. The album is really a story set in music about a disillusioned couple searching for a new home in various cities like Memphis, New Orleans, the Rust Belt in the U.S., only to discover that the "losers" are "standin' pat" , i.e, staying put in their home town of San Francisco and holding their rather excellent cards..

“A strong contender for “Best Blues Album” of 2022
The new album shows that the studio connection Cathy Lemons and Phil Berkowitz make
with producer Kid Andersen is wonderful. They conjure a blues of a different hue, one full of
surprises and elemental forces. The bandleaders have animated musical intelligence in abundance.
‘Down in Memphis Town’ may be the outstanding song, with ten more originals almost as good. Standin’ Pat is definitely a strong contender for “best blues album of the year.”
Official Video GODLESS LAND
Take a musical and photographic journey through the imperiled America of today. Searing photographs tell the musical story of the "godless land" we all live in. Urban street photographers such as Johnny Ace, Myron Mu, William Klein, Oracio Alvarado, Walker Evans, Peter Tunley, Diane Arbus, Samuel Corem, Alex Coghe & more tell the tale of chronic homelessness, callousness toward the poor & struggling, all culminating in the Black Lives Matter movement, a pandemic, and an insurrection at the capitol on January 6, 2021. This video is a plea.
BE KIND.

Video Performances for GODLESS LAND
“The duo delivers a soul jazz stunner on their version of the Doc Pomus & Dr .John classic, ‘Be You’: it’s a standout on the album.
’Godless Land’ showcases the lyrical and musical versatility of Lemons & Berkowitz while offering a richly laden collection filled with musical gems whose many facets shine luminously.”

Videos from BLIND SPOT
“The album is so strong overall that it’s hard to pick something out, but it’s especially good when Lemons and Berkowitz sing in duet. ‘Blind Spot’ is described by the record company as ‘60’s retro sound,’ but that falls short. The eleven original compositions go far beyond virtuosity and great humor and turn the album into something which brings absolute, timeless fun. Music loving people will find this album very dear to the heart.”
“(Phil) Berkowitz sings with straight forward feeling and burns on harp with particular fervor. Trading off solos they stand shoulder to shoulder and feed off one another…These are fresh, irresistible melodies....”
Live from SKYLINE STUDIOS
“When an exception comes along, it’s all that more remarkable. They capture the fun and excitement of a bluesy band in a dimly lit bar. And at its core, that’s what modern blues is all about. That Berkowitz is a skilled blues harpist only adds to the enjoyment.”
VIDEO MONTAGES
“Not since the pairing of Johnny Cash and June Carter has the music world seen a duet that is this well suited for one another.”
