 (1 Customer Review)
Digitally remastered by Robert Vosgien (2000 Capitol Mastering).
The T-Birds fourth album was their first recorded with an outside producer, in this case the estimable Nick Lowe, then at the peak of his coolness. Lowe fleshed out the band's sound agreeably if not ostentatiously, and the album that resulted was probably the group's best to date. It's a tad heavier on covers than usual (including a terrific version of "Diddy Wah Diddy" which temporarily erases the memory of Captain Beefheart's) but at least one of leader Kim Wilson's originals, "Poor Boy" (which features a great duel between Wilson's whistling and guitarist Jimmie Vaughan's whammy-bar solos), sounds like an actual half-remembered old-time blues classic.

Minimally produced (nary an overdub to be heard), the Fabulous Thunderbirds' first album showcases their tough, modern approach to the blues, with an energy and integrity that also appealed to fans of the nascent post punk/new wave bands of the day. Highlights include a faithfully swampy cover of Slim Harpo's "Scratch My Back."
Leader Kim Wilson's "Rocket Pocket" is a harmonica showcase a la Little Walter, while "Rich Woman" appropriates the riff from Bo Diddley's "Diddley Daddy" (the same one the Stones borrowed for "19th Nervous Breakdown"). The bonus track "Things I Forgot to Do" is a nice slow New Orleans style ballad, in which the T-Birds are joined by the horns from Roomful Of Blues.

"Trouble Is..." was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
After releasing a debut that drew raves from people such as James Brown and B.B. King, Kenny Wayne Shepherd followed it up with an album that demonstrates how much musical growth this childhood prodigy has experienced in two years. On TROUBLE IS..., Shepherd's playing still reflects the huge influence of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan (particularly on the instrumental ...

The return to CD of New York's favorite sons, the Holmes Brothers, is a welcome one. Indeed, while fans know what to expect -- a killer mélange of soul, blues, gospel, and funk -- those combinations are always surprising. Sherman and Wendell Holmes and drummer/vocalist Popsy Dixon have opted to work with producer Craig Street (Cassandra Wilson, Joe Henry, Me'Shell NdegéOcello) this time out and enlist a few guests in the guise of pedal steel boss Greg Leisz, bassist David Pilch from the Bill Frisell Band, guitarist Chris Bruce, and the inimitable Patrick Warren on pump organ. The program is one of the most adventurous the band has ever attempted on record, but all of these songs become vehicles for the rootsy, sweet, and deeply emotional Holmes Brothers treatment. The covers are revelatory in scope, including easily the most moving read of Townes Van Zandt's "If I Needed You" ever committed to tape. But it doesn't stop there; they give a similar -- albeit rowdier -- treatment to Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." In addition, the band covers Willie Nelson's classic "Opportunity to Cry" and Gillian Welch's "Everything Is Free" in a late-night fireplace version that makes the songwriter's version sound clinical. But before one gets the idea that this is the Holmes Brothers' alt.country disc, a Delta blues-styled reading of Bob Marley's "Concrete Jungle" and a smoking, roiling, bluesed-out two-step version of the Smith and Dixon R&B stalwart "Big Boss Man" should put those assumptions to rest. But it's Sherman and Wendell's songs that bring the most satisfaction. Wendell's "We Meet, We Part, We Remember" is the greatest pure soul tune recorded thus far in the 21st century. With its Impressions-styled chorus and its James Carr cadence it rips the skin off. His rollicking electric ...
