I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Tim Bastmeyer's All Star Blues Band and it's got a cool flavor. Opening with What The Woman Does To Me , Tim Bastmeyer on guitar and vocal sets the pace for his newest release with an easy country blues pace. Joined by Julian Fauth on piano, Paul Reddick on harmonica, Sean Pinchin on slide guitar, James Thomson on bass and Cam De Latt on drums, a nicely woven tapestry of acoustics. Northern Boogie Blues has an unusual time signature giving it a less expected resolution. With You is a modern style blues built over a Lonnie Chatmon style track. A cool wandering electric guitar lead by Bastmeyer is nicely complimented by the slide work of Pinchin and the lush bass work by Thomson. Love Turns To Pain has the most primitive blues sound with Pinchin on slide and Fauth on piano under Bastmeyer's classic vocal style and Reddick's harp.

Tim Bastmeyer's Self-titled Sophomore Release Getting Great Airplay and Reviews "Canadian blues singer/song writer Tim Bastmeyer has put together a CD that is tightly structured musically, and rhythmically. The emphasis being on the song and the lyrics more than free wheeling displays of instrumental virtuosity." - Robert Carraher, The Dirty Lowdown Released in November, 2011 the new CD from Tim Bastmeyer made Gonzo Online's Best of 2011 list, coming in at #8. "This is the follow-up to 2010’s sparse, solo acoustic and darkly beautiful Graveyard. Bastmeyer has come up with another winner. Despite the fact that this self-titled album is a band record, the songs are simple and spaciously arranged. It’s elegant, sparse and intimate, a fine blues record." - John Kereiff Bman's Blues Report CD Review bmansbluesreport.com Tim Bastmeyer is a Canadian blues singer/songwriter who started his musical career...

I just got the chance to review the new self titled release by Tim Bastmeyer. The release is quite interesting composed of 10 original tracks and one track, "Goin' Down, penned by Don Nix. The release features Juno award winning Julian Fauth on piano as well as James Thompson on bass, Cory Richardson on drums and of course Bastmeyer on Guitar and vocals. Bastmeyer uses his vocal delivery style, somewhat like Lou Reed, delivering poetic stories as tasty guitar and piano interludes dust through the mix over top of well thought out rhythm. Bastmeyer will head out on tour of Canada and several US markets in 2012 to support this new release. “Like” Bman’s Facebook page (available in over 50 languages).
