5.0 out of 5 stars Chris Thomas King - rising young blues star, January 6, 2001

Red Mud the CD by Chris Thomas King demonstrates why he is a rising new star of the blues. Although he is neither young or new at thirty eight and having put in his apprenticeship touring with his father Tabby Thomas. During this time he certainly developed a good feel for the spirit of the blues and aptly demonstrates this on the cd. King is both a skillful guitarist and songwriter. On the cd of the fourteen songs, nine are originals. You can definitely feel the delta ooze on the title track of Red Mud. The cuts of his fathers songs Hoodoo Party and Bus Station Blues with vocals by Tabby Thomas are wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Run..don't walk to buy it!, January 30, 2002

Just discovered this CD in January, 2002 after buying and enjoying the artisit's latest album which I loved. "Red Mud" absolutely should have won a Grammy for best contemporary blues album in the year of its release. Need say more? I put Chris right up there with Keb Mo as the top two new bluesmen of the past decade.The title tune features great slidework and impasioned vocals, and I can't stop playing it. Chris' take on Son House's "Death Letter Blues" is another highlight.Buy this CD anywhere you can.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chris Thomas King, September 25, 2005

This review is from: Red Mud (Audio CD)

In a sense, despite cutting his first album at the age of 17, creating a somewhat unique rap/blues style, and traveling around the world, this CD is a new beginning for King. He displays a very handsome singing voice and great guitar playing (as expected), but fresh is the down-home, back-to-the-roots approach he gives to many of these tracks. IF IT AIN'T ONE THANG, IT'S TWO is a terrific tune done to perfection, funny and funky at the same time. A real surprise and treat is RAINING ANGELS, a beautiful ballad with wonderful lyrics and strings added. It's a great closing number to this very fine CD.
