💿 ALBUM REVIEW: John Primer and Friends - Tribute To Theresa's Lounge

-

John fell in love with the blues as a child when his father and an older cousin played guitar and sang at night after a hard day in the fields. His mother moved to Chicago to secure a job and support her family. She promised to bring John and his sister to the big city when they reached age 18, leaving them with family. Depressed and lonely, young Primer frequently went into the neighboring woods, where he cried his troubles away and began singing the blues in solitude. He eventually built himself a diddley bow on the side of his grandmother's house out of broom wire, two nails and a brick and began accompanying himself as he sang, eventually playing for dimes and quarters in his schoolyard. After listening to Jimmy Reed , Little Milton, B.B. King , Albert King and Muddy Waters on his grandmother's record player, his biggest dream was to play alongside Muddy Waters one day. 🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM ▶ Listen to Album Samples (Clic...

Robert Thurman - Red Clay Diaries - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Red Clay Diaries, from Robert Thurman and it's a vital blues rocker as stripped as it gets. Opening with Never Ending Sky, Robert Thurman on vocal accompanies himself on acoustic guitar. His vocal style is basic and his guitar work spartan but the feeling is all there. Cool opener. Thurman's approach on Might As Well Say Alright puts me in mind of Lou Reed's approach on some of his early work. Minimalist but focused. Acoustic guitar and vocal. My favorite track on the release is American Jesus Blues with it's driving acoustic guitar rhythm and Thurman's wry sense of humor. Wrapping the release is Small Town Blues. This is a cool melodic track with a fat slice or reality. Very cool.
