THE MANNISH BOYS "BIG PLANS" Source: Blues Rag Date: 06/2007 Writer: Bob Coffey

This is the third Mannish Boys CD and it’s even more of a all-star revue this time. Nine players are listed as “Boys” and eight as special guests. Finis Tasby handles five of the vocals and the other ten are split among seven players. The music is good time shuffle blues with the west coast accent. Nothing not to like among the fifteen tunes. Other players include Kid Ramos, Johnny Dyer, Kirk Fletcher, Richard Innes, Paris Slim, Leon Blue, Jody Williams, Rick Holmstrom, Mitch Kashmar, Larry Taylor and Jeff Turmes. All brought together by producer/player Randy Chortkoff. Good Stuff.
