A record where blues emerges from the spirit, that is to say, from the deepest soul Blues comes with singer and guitar player Charles ‘Big Daddy’ Stallings who proves he has really got the blues and he knows how to spread them Charles does it on an easy way which immediately communicates with the audience Blues Evolution gathers fifteen excellent songs performed with an extreme feeling and a great sense of humour, because Charles Stallings is also a real storyteller who loves to joke, but also a creative witty fine man gifted with an exceptional solid voice An splendid album with a great dose of ‘rollicking blues’ and danceable blues grooves including an impressive tasteful mixture of down home harmonica performed by amazing Mark Wenner (The Nighthawks) and a horn section with Joe Thomas on saxo and Kelvin O’Neal on trumpet, performed on a cool, compact acute way It would be unfair not to mention the good work of rest of musicians who play on the cd, such as Glenn Workman on piano, Bill Pratt on organ, Gail Parrish on bass, Ron Jenkins on drums and Steve Levine on harp, together with some other guest musicians, besides introducing two Charles elder daughters, Aleshya and Quesse Stallings Certainly, it is a superb excellent album
