Strange, indeed, as proven by this laugh out loud Christmas video by No Small Children. You have to have followed the string of videos this excellent band has done over the past number of years, but if you have you will get it. Subtle. Very subtle. And funny. I cannot even begin to tell you the joy I have gotten from following their growth. One of the best three-piece bands I have ever seen.
I’m not a blues guy, really. The closest I come to the real blues is B.B. King, maybe— electric guitar a must. I listened to a little Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee during my college years and there was always John Mayall, who seemed to have the best of the up-and-comers in his band no matter what period. I accepted Cream as blues on certain songs, which probably tells you more about my non-blues background than anything. Loved The Blues Project and Paul Butterfield. Didn’t like Delta Blues. Stevie Ray Vaughn is pretty much the best blues I have heard. That should give you an idea of where I am coming from and where I am going because I am going to review some blues albums I enjoyed this year and tell you why. They will be short and a couple even have stories behind them.
