One of the few remaining musicians of his generation, Tasby is often touted by his producers as a 'legendary singer'. His career began in the late 50s as a drummer, after which he played bass for Freddie King, among others, before recording his first singles in California in the 70s and his first album in 1985. Well. He really doesn't sing badly, has a certain amount of originality and is accompanied here by a really excellent, young session group. This CD is a good example of contemporary blues that is deep in the tradition without failing as a cheap copy of the 50s originals. The boys' playfulness brings new impetus, which also inspires the veterans. No songs from a 'black list', but a lot of their own material and covers of lesser-known numbers. Excellent / He's one of the last surviving vocalists of his generation; That's why producers call him a 'legendary blues singer'. His career started in the late '50s when he was playing drums. Later he worked for a.o. Freddie King playing bass. In California in the 1970s he recorded his first sides as a vocalist, and his debut LP was released in 1985. By no means he's a bad singer. I like his singing a lot because he sounds so real. Thanks to a bunch of young session players, this CD turned into a very good one. Traditional style blues, but blues with a contemporary edge, with new arrangements and full of new ideas - thanks to the backing band. No songs from the 'black list'. Mostly originals plus a few covers of seldom-heard tunes. Excellent! FINIS TASBY
