Ron Tanski is a fast rising new voice in the Blues and Roots scene. Without following the same old Blues formula Ron s debut CD pays homage to the past but uniquely forges a new direction in the Blues. The music explodes off the disc with lightning fast piano riffs, glistening melodies, soulful tunes and a voice you have to hear to believe. With intensity normally only seen in guitarists, Ron s live performances leave crowds breathless and his CD does the same. Twelve original songs, that cover the whole Blues and Roots Americana spectrum, from Boogie to Deep Blues, from Gospel to tales of murder, take the listener to seedy bar booths, and places of redemption. Ron s emotionally charged, ragged and yet sensitive, gravel and gin soaked voice has been described as Louis Armstrong and Tom Waits lovechild and his piano playing as incredible & one of a kind. This is a whole new kind of Piano Blues. This is Ron Tanski...
Reviews:
I don't get to listen to a lot of Piano laced blues, so it was a bit of a treat when I received Ron Tanski's Debut CD, Dragged You Down. Dragged You Down contains a mix of traditional and deep soulful blues, brought all together with a smoky bar room feel. But that is not the highlight of this Album, no the highlight is the sound that emanates from Ron's vocal chords. I have not heard a Blues singer like this before, and it truly takes me back and reminds me a lot of Louis Armstrong, Tom Waits, and yes even a little Joe Cocker. In that department Ron truly stands out in front of the crowd, representing, as best as can be, the meaning of a gin soaked, ragged, and gravelly sound, as it is often compared to. Besides his amazing gift as a singer, Dragged You Down, has no problem in showcasing his other two great talents, which are his virtuoso piano playing and his ability to write some pretty darn good songs, in fact Ron wrote all the songs on Dragged You Down, which in itself is a rarity for Debut Albums and shows us the confidence Ron has in himself and his music. Dragged You Down will take you back to the days when the Piano ruled a lot of the blues and will leave you feeling perhaps a little more fuller then some of the more modern cookie cutter blues, to often heard, nowadays. Ron Tanski is one of a kind in today's blues scene and Dragged You Down was a rare treat that just doesn't happen that often any more. For those of you whom really like the music to quietly and gently take you away to a better place for a while, you will not go wrong with, Dragged You Down. Excellent CD... Thoroughly enjoyed it... Highly Recommended... Really looking forward to Ron's next Album... John Vermilyea (Blues Underground Network) --John Vermilyea (Blues Underground Network)
Awesome Live Show Too! The CD is really good especially for a debut. Some songs are more traditional Blues than others. Ron is definitely expanding the genre. Incredible voice and great piano, I saw him live in Hollywood and the show was really good. Just him at a piano singing. Very powerful. By: BlueReviews --BlueReviews on iTunes
