It is very gratifying to have the opportunity to listen to a singer and piano player like Tommy Keys Although he is not a virtuoso, he keeps an old classic style, half way to thirties barrelhouse piano players, forties boogie-woogie ones or fifties Chicago ones His cool urban blues and boogies give off joy and originality and catch the audience from de first notes thanks to his fluent playing and punching instrumental authority The rhythm and tempos control is really amazing with a passionate flaming attitude Twelve inspired songs with influences of his most admires heroes, such as Sunnyland Slim, Pinetop Perkins, Booker T Laury, Big Maceo or Willie Mabon among others, that will totally satisfy fans of juke- joint or modest night clubs piano blues Tommy Keys is an honest bluesman who devotes himself to preserve roots blues
