King, Albert Collins, and Willie Dixon. Today, the multiple Blues Music Award winner seamlessly blends authentic Chicago roots with a high-octane mix of rock, funk, and soul. “I’m blessed to have learned from the best,” Brooks says. “I’m carrying them within me.” 🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM ▶ Listen to Album Samples (Click to Expand) Add this Record to Your Collection Available on CD and in Digital Formats. 🛒 Buy Album on Amazon Store As an Amazon Associate, Bman earns from qualifying purchases.

Whiskey Bayou Records artist: Tab Benoit - I Hear Thunder - New Release Review

-

 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, I Hear Thunder, from Tab Benoit and it's super fused swampy funky blues. Opening with title track, I Hear Thunder, Tab Benoit opens it with a bottom heavy feel, strong vocals and fiery guitar work, anchored by Terence Higgins on drums, Corey Duplechin on bass, and Anders Osborne on guitar. Heavy opener. Soulful, Still Gray has a sad, country feel that showcases Benoit's vocals nicely. Jangly guitar work by Benoit and cool lead guitar riffs by Osborne, held tight by Higgins and Duplechin make this a primary radio candidate. Swamp rocker, Watching The Gators Roll In, is aa super, Tony Joe White like track that just has that groove. Track has great electricity and fun. Bluesy, Overdue, has great soulful vocals by Benoit, caressed by warm guitar riffs. Benoit's guitar lead on this track has real nice focus making it one of my favorites on the release. Little Queenie has a strong back beat worked by Benoit and George Porter Jr on bass and Higgins on drums. Super. Wrapping the release is Bayou Man, a easy driving rocker with crisp guitar accents by Benoit. His overdriven guitar tome and the stiff in your ear, kick drum by Higgins make for an excellent closer.
