This review is from: Austin Rhythm & Blues Christmas (Audio CD)

Who the heck is Paul Ray, and how did he get TWO sappy lounge-style songs on this mostly good CD? And how does the Kaz Jazz Quartet qualify as rhythm and blues? Those songs, as well as Charlie Sexton's gets-old-quick Elvis imitation, kind of disrupt what could have been a much better compilation. The Fabulous Thunderbirds are, well... fabulous on their two songs. But it is the ladies who steal the show. Lou Ann Barton, Angela Strehli, and Sarah Brown sing their hearts out on their respective songs. If they had been given more than five songs between the three of them, this could really have been a great one. My generous mood (and the inability to give out half stars) edges this 3.5 star disc up to an even 4.

This review is from: Austin Rhythm & Blues Christmas (Audio CD)

We've had this album in vinyl for years, and just got around to looking for the CD version. It's not high art, but it is fun. It's a Christmas album that's musical, you can play at parties, you friends will like, and you madien aunt will dance to If you're a fan of the '80s Austn crowd, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Lou Ann Barton or Angela Strehli this is really a "must have."
