BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <div> CD13</div> <div> TAB BENOIT </div> <div> THESE BLUES ARE ALL MINE </div> <div> (Vanguard)</div> <bR> <div> This new album from Tab Benoit shows how he continues to grow as a singer/songwriter/guitarist. A native- of the blues stronghold of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Tab resides in Houma, a little south of New 0rleans and is one of a handful of bright rising stars on the modem blues scene. </div> <div> The hard-working modest guitarist scoffs at comparison with his mentors Albert Collins and Albert King, and is not easily led into playing rock 'n' roll in favour of his non-.flashy blend of Cajun-influenced, South Louisiana swamp blues Tab shows us there's more to guitar playing than notes per second. It's the phrasing and emotion out front of a hard-driving rhythm section that evokes the heartfelt passion of his music. Despite the screaming guitar licks he coaxes from his Telecaster, Tab manages to retain an authentic down-home vintage style all his own. </div> <div> Tab's new CD was recorded live at Sugar Hill Studios in Houston-, Texas in three days on analogue equipment without any digital safety net, capturing the raw excitement and spontaneity of his live shows stripped bare of outside clutter. It's refreshing to hear rock-solid blues presented without the hypnotising effect of today's sanitised recording technology, where everything can be corrected to sound perfect. All the same the album shines free of any defects. </div> <div> Five of Tab's originals appear on the album including the frenetically- up-tempo Bayou Boogie, one of his live favourites, the rocking Crawfishin', a swamp-pop gem Keep Yourself From Crying Too, and the emotive title track. Highlights include Albert King's Crosscut Saw, a superb cover of the Albert Collins shuffle, Don't Lose Your Cool and the late, great Texan bluesman's funky Lights Are On But Nobody's Home. A composition of Albert's wife, Gwen, Travelin' South, gets a good re-working as do classics from Willie Dixon, Louis Jordan and Memphis Slim while Hank Williams' Creole standard, Jambalaya features the band pacing through a fast Bluesiana second-line rhythm. </div> <div> Allyn Robinson's drumming and David Lee Watson's bass playing-, lay a tight, punchy foundation throughout the sessions, and the B3 and piano of stellar New Orleans session man, Marc Adams of the Adams Griffin Project, flavours the sound like Cajun seasoning sprinkled in a crawfish boil. </div> <div> Total playing time on this, Tab Benoit's sixth album since his debut in 1992, is fifty-six minutes. It maintains the high standard of his output and ranks among the best in his catalogue - keeping alive and well the spirit of gritty Southern swamp blues. Tab is undoubtedly one of the finest exponents of the genre.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Al Hensley </div> <div> Presenter of Blue Monday on Noosa Community Radio FM101.3</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
