AL SMITH - HEAR MY BLUES

from Blues Syndicate

AL SMITH - LA VOZ OLVIDADA QUE INAGURÓ BLUESVILLE Hay discos que aparecen en la historia del blues con grandes titulares. Y hay otros que llegan en silencio, pero esconden una voz imposible de olvidar. En 1960, Bluesville publicó su primera referencia: Hear My Blues, el debut de Al Smith. Smith era un joven cantante de gospel de apenas 23 años cuando Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis descubrió su talento. Junto a Shirley Scott, Wendell Marshall y Arthur Edgehill, convirtió aquel debut en una fascinante mezcla de blues, gospel, rhythm and blues y jazz. Su voz tiene fuerza, emoción y ese punto de dramatismo que no se aprende en los libros. Sin embargo, Al Smith nunca llegó a ocupar el lugar que merecía. Este domingo, Blues Syndicate recupera un disco extraordinario y a un cantante que la historia dejó injustamente en segundo plano. Porque nuestra misión no es hablar de músicos olvidados. Nuestra misión es conseguir que dejen de estar olvidados.

TomCattt Thomas Patton From the beginning music has prowled with accordion lessons at a young age, followed by sax, blues harp and more recently piano, vocals, song writing and recording. Thomas Patton (AKA TomCattt) credits his mother for his stage name "TomCattt” as she was big on nick names for those she held close to her heart. TomCattt's music is best described as easy listening and sometimes retro, yet with a contemporary mix and feel. Accompanied by the creative tracks of a number of gifted musicians, his first album Hiiyaaaaaaaaaaa inspires imagination and finds a way to impress with a unique vocal sound, compelling harmony and gripping melody. The lyrical content is in fact a living reflection of this artists emotional journey that followed leaving love, finding a new love only to lose love once again. Hiiyaaaaaaaaaaa was released on June 1st, 2013 and all are invited to Soundcloud, Bandcamp, ReverbNation and Cdbaby where "A Question" is free download and to enjoy TomCattt's website tomcattt.com.
