Synopsis

Amazon.com

On his Vanguard debut, guitarist Tab Benoit favors his usual workmanlike approach, serving up standard blues and Cajun riffs with ease. Though not technically flashy, Benoit is a solid songwriter with enough musicality to more than make up for the lack of fireworks. He can give his songs a restrained ("I'm Tired") or relaxed ("Raided That Joint") feel and he emotes as well as anybody on the title track. The rollicking "Crawfishin'" and "Jambalaya" recall Louisiana, and Benoit closes things off with the frenetically up-tempo "Bayou Boogie." The one possible misstep here is his take on the Willie Dixon classic "Twenty-Nine Ways (to My Baby's Door)"; anyone who remembers Koko Taylor's earthshaking version will find this one a little tame. --Genevieve Williams

CD Reviews

This guy will jar your soul. Terrific hard edged blues..

David R. Poirier | 11/25/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was lucky enough to catch Tab at a blues festival here in New Mexico this summer-WOW! He had the last of three blues bands appearing that day. None of the three were the least bit bad, but Tab was in a whole different realm. Consider buying this CD an investment in the good health of your soul. Tab comes on with a blast of energy that gives you a thrill. Great stuff."

A must have

"Simple...this disk is Tab on front, on his own and on fire...Every tune is very well recorded, but not over produced. The Tones are solid all the way through. Really this is the disk you want people to hear if your gonna introduce them to Tab Benoit!"

Tabasco blues

David R. Poirier | 10/09/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I caught Tab playing at a small club in Madison, Wisconsin, sometime around 1993. There weren't many people there, but he and his trio played the hell out of the place. Strangers started dancing with each other, kid guitar players were slack-jawed, and everyone ordered up more beer. He brought Louisiana to the Chilly North, and the Chilly North was better for it. We were amazed at how good and whiskeyed-up his voice was. You want a good blues record? Tired of the same Stevie Ray licks? This is your man."
