Although the glory years of the blues are several decades behind us, blues has not completely sunk into the pit of oblivion. Tiny Legs Tim is no stranger to many connoisseurs of the scene. With a second home in the blues walhalla of Ghent: the Missy Sippy; where the singer-guitarist has been organizing jam sessions for five years. You don't necessarily have to be born and raised on the Mississippi shores to fabricate good blues. Tiny Legs Tim proved that to us with some strong LPs. Today a sixth long player is added to his tally stick, which is very popular.
For some, this pandemic is a dark hole, but others are getting the best out of it and making the most of it. In between the two lockdowns, Tim De Graeve and friends booked a studio for a weekend, resulting in this corona record. Blues is the music genre where the heart is worn on the sleeve and there is no better time to embrace it.
For Call Us When It's Over, De Graeve was surrounded by a group of Ghent's best musicians. A tight rhythm section consisting of Bernd Coene (Reena Riot, RAMAN) and Mattias Geernaert (SUMI, KOSMO SOUND) assures us of rolling beats; on which we hear a nice collaboration between the guitar work of Tim De Graeve and Toon Vlerick (Absynthe Minded) - also known as the café owner of the charming Bar Mirwaar. In the raw sound they create, there is a lot of room for improvisation and we are exposed to some smashing solos. The typical slide guitar cannot be missing from a nostalgic blues record. We get them galore. The music knows how to charm us on the one hand, but on the other it looks for a dark side in us. So nice diversity.
Besides his own work, there is also a cover of RL Burnsides “Goin 'Down South”. Here the band puts its rock and roll side to the fore, which sounds all too juicy. The sweet closing track “It's All Over Now” contrasts with the otherwise dark colored album. Here positivity resides in the beautiful melodies that wish us better days.
On Call Us When It's Over we hear a fine piece of craftsmanship that was also recorded in just one weekend. In this lived-in music, the collective goes back to its roots: no overproduction, but just a few friends who are masters of their instrument and thus deliver a sincere record that knows how to come in. ~Babette Rogiers
