Superb, excellent, fine, fine, very, very fine, is this new cd of charismatic and charming singer and piano player Rob Rio He is one of the best actual ‘entertainers’ and very expressive frenzy California boogie-woogie piano players In this new album Rob pays tribute to one of the ‘shouters’ he deeply admires, the one and only Big Joe Turner, with a selection of ten classic songs such as Shake, Rattle & Rock, Cherry Red, Boogie Woogie Country Girl, Wee, Wee Baby, or Flip, Flop & Fly among others Ron has also chosen a selection of amazing great California and West Coast blues musicians, Job Atriles on guitar, Larry Taylor on bass, Richard Innes on drums and Rick Holmstrom on guitar in three tracks You will also find a horn section with Bill Flores, on tenor and alto sax, Jeff Turmes on tenor and baritone sax and Corey Gemme on trumpet Fancy that! Some of the best West Coast blues musicians and, over all them, Rob Rio on piano and vocals, performing in the path of Big Joe Turner and Pete Johnson altogether A great cd you really should take into account
