 The real deal
This cd is just the real deal, just good blues in different styles. The original band way back in the late 70´s and early 80´s was called The hollywood fats band. Sadly guitarist Hollywood Fats died in 86. Now they are back with a new great guitarist named Kirk Fletcher. The band contains the same members as before, the best you can get, Al Blake, Richard Innes, Fred Kaplan, Larry Taylor and Kirk Fletcher. These five know each other so well, these players pass the music around like a basketball. If you want great blues a´la 1950s and ´60s buy this one by The Hollywood Blue Flames.

 Hollywood Fats Revisited
What a terrific band! It’s the original Hollywood Fats outfit with new boy Kirk ‘Eli’ Fletcher filling in the very big boots of Hollywood Fats and doing a terrific job. His one hell of a guitar player with a couple of excellent release under his own name. The undervalued Fred Kaplan is on keyboards. Like to hear another album from him. The ubiquitous Larry Taylor and Richard Innes are on bass and drums. Can’t ask for a more solid foundation than that. Al Blake handles vocals in an attractive drawl that suits the mostly band composed originals. He also adds some tasty harmonica. A fine release with hopefully more to come.
