New Blues – The Ty Curtis Band
Ok so yesterday when I was reviewing the Roots Music Report Blues Chart and at number 25 sat The Ty Curtis Band and their album Cross the Line. Since they were one of the names I didn’t recognize I went to Rhapsody to check them out. Rhapsody didn’t have the new album but did have some previously releases and I listened a bit to Down on My Luck. The first couple of tracks sounded good but I moved on and listened to some others. Well today I went back and listened again to the whole album and boy am I glad I did! I’ve said before if you give me a band with some good vocals, a good guitar and harp and I’m a happy camper. This band has all that! The band’s great vocals and driving guitar come from Ty Curtis, masterful harmonica and powerful vocals from Hank Shreve. Bass player Milo Fultz adds some harmony vocals and a steady bass line and Davis “Super D” Brown on drums rounds out rhythm section. Others agree with me, from their Facebook page:
