T-Bourbon's picture

Did you know the record label Delta Groove Music was established by producer and band member Randy Chortkoff ? And especially to release the records of The Mannish Boys! Already the third album with fifteen songs of varied and different tastes. But what do you expect from a band full of authentic artists like: Kid Ramos, Johnny Dyer, Finis Tasby, Kirk 'Eli' Fletscher, Richard 'Big Foot' Innes, Randy Chortkoff, Frank 'Paris Slim' Goldwasser, Tom Leavey en Leon Blue. A top quality collection with great songs ! 'Border Town Blues' the first song on the album in which Finis Tasby sings and Kirk Fletscher plays the guitar is a good example. Then there is on the album 'Groan My Blues Away' ( written by Jody Williams) in a version of guitarplayer Rick Holmstrom who you can also hear gently growl on the background. Also the piano blues comes by in 'Carpet Bagger Blues'. Rob Rio sings and plays the piano, the guitar solo is by no-one else than Kirk Fletscher, such a recognizable sound. Jody Williams sings 'Young & Tender' in a great relaxed way in the mean time taking the guitar solo for his account. When you close your eyes during 'California Blues' ( written by Chester Arthur Burnett) it's like Howlin' Wolf (Howlin's album: 'Best of Come Back Home') is singing. Yet it surely is Bobby Jones who has the singing features of Howlin' Wolf. Play this varied and divers cd in the car and find out if you can get the passengers off the Dutch mess and into the blues!
