"That
Represent Man" is simply one of the best blues
recordings I have ever heard! This is the blues as it's
ment to be heard, The Mannish Boys have poured their
heart and soul into this recording and it is an experience
that should not be missed!The Mannish Boys is an "All-Star"
cast of mastered bluesmen who have each mastered his
own craft, and I have heard others describe this CD
as "West Coast Blues" I beg to differ this
is a mix of the best the Delta and Chicago blues have
to offer. This band may be assembled from the best of
the West Coast crop but I believe these guys are the
best blues band in Americia today, and they are members:
Finis Tasby (vocals), Kirk Fletcher (guitar), Frank
Goldwasser (guitar), Leon Blue (piano), Ronnie Weber
(bass) and June Core (drums). The CD also features guest
appearances by: Roy Gaines (vocals & guitar), Johnny
Dyer (vocals & harmonica), Mickey Champion (vocals),
Paul Oscher (guitar) and Randy Chortkoff (harmonica).
Some of the material on this disc includes Jimmy Anderson's
"Going Crazy Over T.V.", Lazy Lester's "I'm
A Lover Not A Fighter" both which featuring some
fine harp playing by Randy Chortkoff, other covers of
Smokey Smothers' "Come On Rock Little Girl",
Freddie King's lesser known classic "It's Too Bad"
and a couple of B.B. King covers, one in "Partin'
Time'" which guitaris Kirk Fletcher really nails,
and Johnny Watson's "The Eagle Is Back" is
da bomb! There are seventeen tracks on this disc and
not one will let you down. I have to be honest and let
you know that I kept this CD in my player for two weeks
straight, what a joy this is to listen too. |
