Tommy McCoy - 25 Year Retrospect (2-Disc Set)

A soulful singer, scorching lead guitarist, and prolific writer, Tommy McCoy’s uncommon versatility is on full display throughout this jam-packed compilation. By any standard, he has paid his blues dues and then some, as this collection eloquently testifies. The Florida-based guitarist has been performing and recording on a regular basis for well over two decades, and every one of his albums since 1992 is amply represented on this generous career retrospective. Tommy is backed by a variety of well-known musicians, including Commander Cody, Levon Helm and Garth Hudson, Lucky Peterson, Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon, Tony Coleman and alumni of the Greg Allman Band. As a bonus, three new original tracks recorded in 2015 make their debut on this recording: the solo acoustic “Sugar Cane,” recorded at Gary Vincent’s studio in Clarksdale, Mississippi, “The King Is Gone,” Tommy's clever tribute to B.B. King; and “I Got A Reason,” a soul funky foray into R&B.
