These are the very first recordings by this modern Baton Rouge blues artist They were done at the time that Chris Thomas regularly used to play in one of the most popular clubs of that area, the Tabby’s Blues Box These recordings were possible thanks to the reputed folklorist Nick Spitzer who, from the very beginning, believed in Chris musical talent The essence of the Louisiana is reflected in the ten songs performed by this young bluesman You will find there different airs, parfumes and influences of the pioneers bluesmen of that particular style Silas Hogan, Whispering Smith or Lightinin’ Smith can be found in the particular atmosphere of this cd But this does not mean that the personal touch of Chris Thomas King is not remarkable all over the cd Little by little and step by step Chris is reaching a high consideration into blues world
