Chase Away Your Blues

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
This is the first full-length release from piano player/singer John 'JT' Thompson. A completely solo effort, he mixes Old-School Blues & Boogie-Woogie with contemporary style and sensibilities. The first tune, 'Pat's Cafe', is a brief instrumental homage to the barrelhouse and boogie-woogie masters that influence so much of JT's playing. And, it's played on the piano that graces the album cover - the very one JT learned to play on. 'Chase Away Your Blues' is an uptempo romp that does just what it promises - makes us forget about all the bad stuff, and feel better about life. 'The Boss Told Me' is a one-chord grind through the travails of modern-day work - it may not be hard labor, but we still get the Blues. The 4th tune, 'Sugar Free', is the only cut not written by JT. As he swings through this tune by Dallas TX-based guitarist Paul Byrd, however, you know he knows what he's talking about. Every town has some street where all the action is. New York has Broadway, New Orleans has Bourbon Street, Memphis has Beale Street. In this mid-tempo Ragtime-inspired instrumental, JT tells us about all the action on 'High Street,' in his hometown of Bellefonte, PA. #6, 'Southern Bell,' is a bold statement about Love. I think he married that girl. 'Chicken Bone,' cut #7, is about just being happy with whatever you got. JT tackles the 2010 BP tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico - and our global addiction - in 'Cold Firey Lake (Oil In The Water).' 'Murphee's Boogie' - another instrumental - gets our toes tapping and takes us home.
