PAUL COX & CHARLIE FABERT That's What We Were Born For Note Records 2011 ![]() Well respected British bluester teams up with hot shot French guitarist for rather good record. If you know anything about British blues, then you'll know the name of Paul Cox. His solo albums have always been worth a listen, but a chance Christmas Day encounter sees him aided and abetted by the youngster Charlie Fabert, along with some weel kent faces from the British blues scene. So that'll include producer Roger Cotton, who also plays keyboards, Nigel Hardy on bass, Pete Stroud on drums, along with a guesting Alan Glen on harmonica. There's also a cracking horn section to add some colour. It's a mixture of covers and originals with Cox and Faber contributing four new songs, and producer Roger Cotton contributing two. There's also two writing credits for Richie Milton, alongside a Delbert McLinton tune and the well travelled Andy Fraser penned song, 'Be Good To Yourself'. And, actually, if you know any of Delbert McLintons albums, then you'll find this a very comforting place to be, as it travels the same soulful, bluesy, rootsy route that he's to be found on. Add in some well arranged backing vocals, and songs as good as 'You Were Never Mine', 'Don't Turn Off The Light' and ‘It’s Getting Harder’, and you're in for a nice wee treat of an album. The mix of blues, soul and swamp rock never fails to please, and it may well be the best record Paul Cox has been involved in. If there is one criticism, it may be the sequencing, as it doesn't always flow as it should, but that's what the shuffle button is for. Otherwise, an excellent offering. Download @ Amazon Don't forget to tune into Mr H every Thursday at 8pm, Her Majestys Great British time, when you will find him Rockin' The Blues on that there internet radio. http://www.getreadytorockradio.com/ |
