Here comes one of these artists who will be rather unknown for blues lovers, although he was born in Chicago in 1930 and, during the sixties, he was playing around Maxwell Street During the seventies Al Thomas opened for soul-blues singer Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland’s shows in different small clubs and, in the middle of the eighties, he was member of Lacy Gibson’s band At that time he also formed his own band, The Crazy House Band together with drummer ‘Mot’ Dutko who had also played with Homesick James, Sunnyland Slim, Jimmy Rogers, Eddie Taylor, Walter Horton or Billy Branch among others With the support of The Crazy House Band, he has recorded this second cd under his own name Little Al Thomas does an excellent singing and gives us a bright selection of good varied kind of blues Texas and Chicago blues, spiced with some drops of funky music, are nicely combined with an excellent final result
