Detroit bluesman Luther Badman Keith's second CD, Thunder in My Blues, has hit the Detroit blues scene like a firestorm, winning over legions of fans with a high-energy, no-holds barred performance style combined with original and creative songwriting. All of those skills are on display on Thunder in My Blues, the CD includes the title track, and 12 other tunes. A sampling of six tracks (MP3) of the CD can be reviewed above. Order your copy here. Thunder in My Blues mixes blues, rock, soul and funk in Keith's unique style, aided by the horn arrangements of James Payton, the powerful drumming of Milton Heavyfoot Austin, the dynamic bass playing of Darryl Lee and the sterling keyboard work of Jim David. The CD was a labor of love by Keith, who was introduced to the blues by the late Luther Allison years ago. Keith had never thought of playing music until he saw a live Allison performance around 1980. He took up the guitar and later jammed with Allison. The song "Luther" was written for Allison, who died in 1997, and the CD is dedicated to his memory. Keith, a professional
journalist by training, wrote all the songs on the CD and helped
write the tune Get Along with other band members. |
