Short Fuse is a band based in Almeria for a long time If I am not wrong the group was founded at the end of the 80’s and, since then on, it has included different and many musicians on it Now, bass player Steve Coleridge is the only musician who comes from the original Short Fuse, and he continues working as leader, driver, alma mater and great master of this excellent group which has made their way through the most traditional, rough downhome Louisiana blues Over the years both single Fuse members or the band in full have backed different swamp blues musicians who came from Baton Rouge and other places of the surrounding area, such as Howlin Wolf’s legendary piano player, the late singer and guitar player Clarence Edwards or Henry Gray In fact they recorded some albums with Henry Gray and two of them are the ones we are reviewing now Thibodeaux Café is a great album that gathers all the bright and gleaming spirit of Louisiana blues The cd is full of the magic essence and the hypnotic exciting unleashed wildness all musicians spread along the whole album songs, always giving the best of themselves on a powerful convincing performance In Don’t Start That Stuff, Henry Gray plays the main role He firmly leads the seventeen cd songs with his habitual piano phrasing, punch and attack and drives the rest of musicians who properly provide the most suitable backing to make Henry shine and show the excellent singer qualities he has Finally, in the new cd Bare Arms, the only musician who belonged to the original group is singer, bass and harmonica player Steve Coleridge The rest band members are José Venzal guitar and vocals, Floyd Pintado drums and vocals and Abdou vocals All together give us a more stylistic, varied and eclectic sound, although blues still has s very important significance, because Henry Gray stands up as as a very special guest Anyway, the sound, production, and final result is a very actual one that could be defined as a kind of Californian rock The rating of the three cds is as follows:
