Big Bear Records new release: Taking Care of Busines - Tipitina - review


I've been listening to a new release, "Taking Care of Business" by Tipitina. Tipitina is a talented young band from the UK, featuring Debbie Jones on guitar and vocals and Justin Randal on piano. The band, throwing a nod to Professor Longhair indicating a strong attachment to the New Orleans sound.

The music is well articulated with strong vocals, and features piano quite a bit as one might expect from a New Orleans style band. There are 14 tracks on the recording, most of which are traditional songs associated with New Orleans and Mardi Gras. A favorite of mine is an Allen Toussaint song, Brickyard Blues which was popularized by the James Montgomery Band in the 70's. Another great song is You Know I'm No Good.

If you like new Orleans blues/jazz and you don't need the brass... this might be your deal. Sounds good to me!
