........................ Infos zur CD: ..............................
Eine wunderschöne Blues-Scheibe! .................................
Gaines wurde 1937 in Houston, Texas geboren. Schon als Teenager begann er Gitarre zu spielen und trat auch schon in Clubs auf. Seinem Blues-Hero T-Bone Walker begegnete er 1951, und bereits als 14 Jähriger begleitete er sein legendäres Idol auf der Bühne. Jahrzehnte später realisierte Gaines schließlich seine Idee, seinem texanischen Vorbild T-Bone Walker eine Tribute-CD zu widmen. Gaines hat den einzigartigen Gitarren-Stil von T-Bone tatsächlich noch perfektioniert und spielt dessen berühmte Blues-Titel in einer unglaublich intensiven Art und Weise. Dieses außergewöhnliche Blues-Album kann man jedem Blues-Fan nur empfehlen! Im Mittelpunkt dieser CD steht die Musik des späten, großartigen T-Bone Walker. T-Bone’s Werk enthält solch zeitlos Blues-Standards wie Stormy Monday, Dreamgirl, West Side Baby. ....................................

..................... ALBUM NOTES: .........................
On this Grove Note release, guitarist Roy Gaines pays tribute to his hero T-Bone Walker. I Got the T-Bone Walker Blues contains the Walker classics "T-Bone Blues," "Stormy Monday," "T-Bone Shuffle," and "Westside Baby" along with Hank Williams' "Honky Tonk Blues." Backed by a full band highlighted by Clifford Solomon and George Parker on tenor saxophones, Will Miller on trumpet, and the Mighty Flyers' rhythm section, Gaines reminds listeners of Walker's role as a leader who wasn't afraid to incorporate swing, jazz, and country into his blues style. ~ Al Campbell .......................
*************************************************************************************************
What will strike you first -- and immediately -- is the authority that Roy Gaines brings to this music. Gaines played with T-Bone Walker almost 50 years ago, and he has Walker’s lively style down pat. These tunes may be covers on a tribute collection of sorts, but hearing them is like getting one of the new US state quarters in your change: it’s recognizable but still fascinating. "Stormy Monday," which opens the disc, is swinging, and it is reprised in a very different acoustic version at the end of the disc. In between are tunes that smolder with slow energy, like the restrained "I Got a Break," on which Gaines relies on the lyrics and the horns in the band to provide the fireworks. Gaines’ guitar work on Hank Williams’ "Honky Tonk Blues" is upbeat and a touch twangy -- he can sing and pick. Bill Stuve on bass and Steve Magulian on drums are called upon to create the vital heartbeat for these songs, and they do so in sinewy fashion. They definitely got the blues.
