DRINK SMALL
Electric Blues Doctor Live!
Mapleshade Records
Hailing from Bishopville, South Carolina, Drink Small has the biggest, deepest bass voice in the blues. His amazingly expressive sound falls right in between B.B. King and Bo Diddley. But Drink's got a little something extra. I think it’s his gospel background. Growing up, as Drink puts it, he was "boogalooing on Saturday, hallelujahing on Sunday." It gives his work on the fretboard a little extra reverence and soulfulness. This set's a mouth-watering mixture of blues and soul, including James Brown's "I Feel Good", T-Bone's "Stormy Monday" and Drink's own lusty "I'm In Love With A Grandma".
Drink Small, guitar/vocals
J.J.Miller, guitar/harmonica
Wayne Mitchum, bass
Steve Kent, drums
TRACK LISTING:
1.STORMY MONDAY BLUES (T-Bone Walker)
2.I FEEL GOOD (James Brown)
3.THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING (Riley King)
4.THE THINGS I USED TO DO I DON'T DO 'EM NO MORE (Eddie Jones)
5.I REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW (H.Barnes & D.Robertson)
6.CHARLESTON WOMAN (Drink Small)
7.INSTRUMENTAL (Drink Small)
8.I'M IN LOVE WITH A GRANDMA (Drink Small)
9.SHOUT (K.Isley, R.Isley, & R.Isley)
Living Blues:
reviewed by Jim DeKoster
As the title implies, this disc presents blues doctor Small recorded live, playing electric guitar. The venue is a club in Washington, DC, and unobtrusive accompaniment is provided by J.J. Miller on guitar and harmonica, Wayne Mitchum on bass, and Steve Kent on drums.
The date was 1988, prior to Small's two Ichiban LPs, and, not surprisingly, Mapleshade's production values put the leader's voice and guitar a bit more to the fore than did Ichiban's. The sound is commendably clean and natural because, as the notes boast, there was "no mixing board, filtering, compression, equalization, noise reduction, multi-tracking, or overdubbing."
Small, touted as "possibly the only major blues singer today with a true basso profundo voice, works his way through a playlist of mostly familiar material, with quite a lot of good-humored monologue extending most cuts. Although he is a sufficiently distinctive singer and guitarist to make even ten minutes of Stormy Monday bearable, Small is too fine a songwriter to be represented by only two originals both of which are quite good.
Because Small's personality comes through so strongly, this is a more entertaining set than might be expected from the song selection. It provides the best showcase yet for his guitar skills, and an entirely solo set might make a worthy companion especially if it featured more original material.
June 1994

Recording Of Exceptional Merit.
....The Blues Doctor does the impossible by combining his incredible raw talent with a sound that is utterly transparent and without transient barriers. With the exception of Drink Small not knowing when to shut his mouth, ("I don't have a big mouf or nuffin") this recording combines red hot southern blues with some of the best sonics this side of perfection. This is the only recorded electric guitar that I know of that has transient action so clean and sharp that in a good system it can actually bite the skin on your body,, and with "no distortion at all." If you have any desire to know what your system is capable of doing, you ain't heard nothin' until you have heard Drink Small on Mapleshade.
