Every now and again you find a disc whose title not only fits it but describes it perfectly. This is one of the best surprises I have had all year. This man rocks with that swampy beat that contains all the Hoodoo and Gris Gris mystery that one associates Louisiana swamp music. The beat is deep and full of a resonation that seems to suck you into it much like the inexorable force of quicksand. It is a primal rhythm that lives and breathes a heavy and fecund air that completely envelops the listener until he is moving with its cadence. I will fault the album on one issue. The liner notes don't tell you who is playing in the fine band that is playing behind him. They not only support him, but they give him the underpinning that gives the music its genuine feel. This is the heavy boogie blues of the Delta joining forces with more jumping and lighter in feel, East Texas style, with a heavy jolt of the mysterious and treacherous footing and Spanish moss draped primal rhythmic music of the swamps. Tabby Thomas has been playing the blues for years. He had a hit in 1961 with his partying anthem "Hoodoo Party," after that little bits of regionally success, but for the most part he had to work other jobs to support his family. In '83 he opened his own blues club in Baton Rouge, his home base, and through its doors have passed some of the finest swamp Blues men playing, such as Kenny Neal and his kin. Included in this group is his own son Chris Thomas King, a futuristic blues man recognized for his own contributions (sad to say but by now the club is torn up to make way for a highway). He arguably does his best work when he sticks to the true swamp blues. Songs such as "Swamp Man Blues," and "Hoo Do Man" are prime examples of the best of his work. On these he captures the essence of all that makes up the swamp without revealing, only alluding to all the secrets it contains. There is some fine, fine harp playing on here as well as a very tight rhythm section but the names remain a mystery? If you were curious about Swamp music, put this in, turn it up and listen to Rockin' Tabby Thomas lay it all out for you. His base is the blues, songs such as "Going to New Orleans," but his strength is in the Swamp where it all comes together. ~ Bob Gottlieb

Catdaddy Jones, a busman's holiday for four veteran New York sidemen, Geoff Worton, M.D. Meyer, Steve Merola, and Paul Bisbano, is a straight-ahead blues-rock band in a familiar style. The promotional sheet for their debut album, Late Night in the Doghouse, says, "Think the Asbury Jukes with a grittier singer and Jeff Beck on guitar!," and among the "key selling points" is this: "Record will appeal to fans of Steve Winwood, Rod Stewart, Memphis soul and urban blues." But these comparisons are not quite on the mark. In fact, if one were to listen to Late Night in the ...

Though it is billed as an "Original Soundtrack Recording," McVicar is in effect a Roger Daltrey solo album. Daltrey, who starred in the film and co-produced it, sings on eight of the ten tracks. McVicar was Roger Daltrey's highest charting non-Who project, and for a simple reason: it sounds a lot like The Who. On his three previous solo ...
