| SWEETMAN with HIS SOUTH SIDE GROOVE KINGS: Austin Backalley Blue |
| This is butt-shakin’, tassel-twirlin’ Texas strip joint blues. Sweetman’s raw, in-your-face tenor sax leads a down-and-dirty Austin R&B band (including veterans of the Fabulous Thunderbirds). All-instrumental and startlingly vivid, the kickass electric guitars, trumpet, sax, electric bass, and drums will get your backfield in motion. You’ll hear every detail: the spit in Sweetman’s mouthpiece, the dirt under the guitarist’s fingernails, and the delicate sound of cotton panties as they fall to the floor. A Bound For Sound Recording of Merit. Stereophile’s Wes Phillips proclaims “The dynamic shadings are impressive… the sound remains articulate and focused…it could corrupt a bishop.” Includes R&B hits by King Curtis, Magic Sam and Jimmy Forrest. (#02752) Michael Sweetman, tenor sax Bill Warfield, trumpet Jack Morgan, guitar Mark Korpi, guitar Rudy Turner, guitar* Jeff Sarli, bass John Coontz, bass+ Mike buck, drums |
