No need to get dressed up..
Singing, hitting the congas and generally holding court, Eric Frazier moves and shakes with Gene Ghee/ts-ss, Wayne Jeffrey/g, Mamiko Watanbe/key, Nori Naraoka/b, John Cooksey/dr and various cameo guests on this hip moving mix. There’s some hot salsa on “Mucho Caliente” and lts of funky chicken bones flying around on “The Panther Woman” and “Fu Man Shu”. Frazier hustles and shuffles on “Bean Song” and goes soul train for “In the same Place”. Put on your dancing shoes!
Chris BadNeEws Barnes belts it out with a blueswailing team of Tom Hambridge/dr, Kenny Greenberg/g, Tommy MacDonald/b, MikeRojas/key, Max Abrams/sax, Steve Patrick/tp and a handful of rollicking guests. Jimmy Hall wails on the harp for a boogie’d title track and dark “A Bluesman Can’t Cry” wh ile Barnes shouts and steams through the rural “Ambushed By The B lues” and shuffling “His Majesty The Baby”.
