Talent abounds in
this remarkable Texas
blues band. The guitarist and lead vocalist is Jim "Blind
Lemon Pie" Cobb- spanning the greats like T-Bone Walker,
Jimmy Witherspoon and Freddie King in guitar and vocal prowess.
Next up is Rick "SaxMan"
Sims, who plays with the color and excitement of King Curtis and
Boots Randolph, and who tends to leap off the stage into the crowd,
serenading patrons individually. Rodney "Gizmo"
Beal, on the bass guitar, is steady as a rock like Willie Dixon, and
adds his own sweet vocal harmonies and the occasional lead vocal
himself. Sylvia Carrell sprinkles percussion throughout, and sings
from the heart- growling like KoKo Taylor and emoting like Etta
James, spanning a wide range of styles before the night’s over. All
the band members are lucky enough to work within the parameters of
the solid grooves and superb timing of Val Nail on drums- a young
man who’s a ‘‘show” all by himself.
You can't get enough of this group. That's probably why they won The Texarkana Blues Society sponsorship to the International Blues Challenge in Memphis coming up January 31st through February 2nd. Come see ‘em; you won’t be disappointed. |
