I55 Artist : Fred Sanders New Release: Long Time Comin' - Review

I just received the new I55 Records release, Long Time Comin' by Fred Sanders. The release is made up of 12, 10 of which were composed by Sanders and the band. The first track out of the chute sets the standard for the entire release with "I Got A Feeling", a Texas/Gatemouth style swing blues. Daddy Cain is an off rhythm style track with a cool groove, breaking to a full swing. Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven, a track most often associated with Albert King but written by Don Nix of Goin' Down fame. Sanders feels Albert in his playing but keeps it as his own. House Is Not A Home gets the soul juices with the horns and all. Very effective breaker. Light Bulb is a cool uptempo blues giving Sanders the chance to stretch a little on guitar.

New I55 Productions artist: Fred Sanders - I Believe - Review

I have just had the opportunity to review Fred Saunders newest recording I Believe and it's definitely worth the listen. Fact is I've listened to it a number of times. This 10 track release is written or co written by Sanders and his years of playing with BB King, Albert King and Bobby Blue Bland were obviously not in idle. Saunders puts out a strong release of diverse styles blues. The opening track, Stop Foolin' Around has a strong Texas swing. Another track, I Think About You Baby has a little New Orleans flavor with some tasty guitar soloing. Time Out takes this to the next step with an all instrumental number and the band gets to stretch out a little. Very nice! Let's Dance has a creative style which moves between a soulful ballad and the jazz blues feel of Otis Rush' All Your Love . Don't Know What To Do is modeled out of the T-Bone Walker songbook and is a pretty strong Texas blues. The guitar soloing is creative but not overactive. Possibly my favor...
