Terry Evans and the Blues

Category: Music

Blues, fron high NRG Chicago to deep Delta is one of my favorite categories of music. I don't usually pay much attention to music reviews as I've been burned too many times in the past. But several years ago, Stereophile recommended Terry Evan's "Blues For Thought", and I agreed that it was great both sonically and musically.

He had excellent follow-ups with "Puttin' It Down", and "Come to the River"-- both on the Audioquest label. In 2000 he released two CDs, "Walk Tht Walk" on Telarc-- and not that good IMO, but his other "Mississippi Magic", again on Audioquest is excellent, and T. Evans is back to top form. I can really recommend his recordings to all music lovers, and I think some may be available on vinyl too-- BTW, Ry Cooder plays slide guitar on some of Evan's recordings.

Blues artists such as T. Evans and Keb Mo' are artistically at their peaks, IMO. Are there others out there that are in the same league, (or maybe emerging) as these two that blues fans can recommend? Thanks. Craig.

Hello Craig: If you like Keb Mo's style, (I do), then you really should run out and aquire GUY DAVIS'; BUTT NAKED FREE
CD. This is acoustic guitar blues, by whats looking to be a major talent to me. The recording is SOTA quality to boot. This is real Missisipi Delta blues. No psuedo wannabe here! The opening track is worth the price of admission alone. This is a not to be missed CD. Thanks for listening........Frank
