WABI
Down Home Blues Project Band Seiji Wabi
Yuguchi - Vocal & Harmonica Hiroshi Egushi - Double Bass Yoshiyuki Mizuno - Guitar Steve Cushing - Drums Minnoru Maruyama - Guitar Tadao Hosonuma - Guitar Recorded on 3.5.00, 3.12.00
and 11.26.00, this release offers some good ole swamp boogie blues by a mostly Asian band. As good as anything you might hear in the Delta,
these guys know how to get down and you will find yourself dancing around, or at the least
tapping your foot. Most of the songs are
upbeat for your boogie-ing pleasure, but a few are slowed down to lend more of a swamp
feel to the CD. The harmonica takes the lead
in many songs, but at times the guitar takes over. Wabi
also lends great vocal delivery to top it all off. Every
song is good and that makes for an good CD for all. Need
to hear more from this band - Wail On! - Robin Taylor Asian Improv Records |
