FIXIN' YOUR HEAD features contemporary jump blues from this Texan artist.
Recorded on vintage equipment in single takes, Nick Curran keeps things simple and swinging on his solo debut. Having played rockabilly with Kim Lenz set Curran's retro-twang cred in stone and the long-time blues aficionado strikes out on his own with the revelatory Fixin' Your Head. With a deep, ringing voice not unlike Amos Milburn or Lloyd Price, and a wide-open T-Bone Walker guitar style, Curran utterly embodies that period of time during the late '40s and early '50s just before the blues became rock & roll. Curran's impressive mix of lesser known cover tunes and originals -- the up-tempo "She's Mine" especially -- oozes with a genuine pomade and chicken wings mentality. More studied than punk, yet grittier than most contemporary blues releases, Curran has achieved an almost unimaginable "take no prisoners" aesthetic of retro-style absoluteness and modern blues urgency. ~ Matt Collar

| | Kid Ramos Greasy Kid's Stuff CD (2001)
Fixin' Your Head CD music
$13.55 
For his fourth solo release, and third on the Evidence label, the Fabulous Thunderbirds' guitarist, Kid Ramos, once again calls in some high-profile blues friends for assistance. Instead of last album's guitarists and jump blues horns, this time Ramos sticks with harpists/vocalists to provide the momentum on a set of relatively stripped-down, greasy blues. He's also the only guitarist on the sessions, which makes this a spotlight for his picking as well as his bandleading abilities. Harmonica aces Rick Estrin (Little Charlie & the Nightcats), Paul de Lay, Lynwood Slim, Johnny Dyer, James Harman (who only plays on one of his three tracks and sings on the others), and Charlie Musselwhite, along with Rod Piazza, all contribute. The leadoff title cut, an instrumental that sounds like it was left over from his ...
| | Nick Curran Doctor Velvet CD (2003)
Fixin' Your Head music CDs
$14.49 
Fevered anticipation surrounded the recording of roots music phenomenon Nick Curran's third album and debut for Blind Pig Records. Attaching himself to such a pinnacle of mainstream blues as Blind Pig seemed at first a mixed blessing. While it affords the ex-rockabilly twanger greater visibility on a reputable blues label, it nonetheless raised the fear that he may have been attempting some type of ill-advised commercial crossover. One listen to Doctor Velvet, though, and such fears melt away into pure joy. Perhaps "purist" joy would be more apt, as Curran continues on his time-traveling blues odyssey. Having already proven ...

On LONG WAY HOME, Texas roots music legend Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown augments his usual hard-driving studio ensemble with a star-studded roster of guests, several of whose songs appear on the album.

| | E S P Eclipse CD (2007)
Fixin' Your Head CD music
$20.19
Eclipse is the new release from ESP. The CD features several songs from our 2000 EP, as well as two unreleased tracks, and two live versions. The songs from the earlier EP have been remixed and re-mastered, and the results are phenomenal. The disc is also something of a tribute to late bassist Gary Strater, and the years 1996-2003 that he was part of the line-up also featuring founding member Lou DiBello on guitar and backing vocals, Kelly Hazel on lead vocals, and Tommy Garza on drums. Live, Gary and Kelly sang many great two-part harmonies, and on the CD Kelly contributes great harmonies as well.ESP began in 1994, when Lou and Kelly rejoined forces after previously playing together with legendary Midwest rockers Blanche Talley. In 1996 Gary and Tommy joined. Lou had played with Tommy previously in the studio and in Belladonna, Lou’s stopover after Talley and the precursor to ESP. Lou and Gary and Tommy were also playing together in Electric Sky, so it seemed like ...
