5.0 out of 5 stars What a great CD!, July 3, 2001

Russ Allen - See all my reviews

This is one of my favorite CDs. I heard Tab Benoit live several years ago and bought this CD after the concert. I have played it as much as any CD I own. Benoit's hard-rocking guitar playing is some of the best I have ever heard. A variety of styles and tempos, clever lyrics. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars What I Live For is only second to Benoit's first release, May 23, 1999

By A Customer

I may be far too prejudiced a fan to be taken seriously where Tab Benoit is concerned because I think he's nothing short of remarkable. His guitar playing is so gritty and gutsy that it almost hurts. Put aside those nimble fingers and fiery fretwork, and let's talk about Benoit's crooning. It's his phenomenal vocalizing that sends me into orbit. NEVER have I ever heard a more lazy, effortless, yet polished, slow-burning set of sizzlin' sensual pipes. I swear if I were a smoker I think I'd need a cigarette after each listen. Mr. Benoit's music makes me want to pull up the stakes and head to Louisiana's swampland.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely superb!, January 10, 2002

This review is from: What I Live for (Audio CD)

I'd never heard this guy before I found this CD in the used section of a local store. Boy, what a surprise I got. His playing and singing is simple fantastic. Backed by an excellent set of musicians (who incidently include Reese Wynans - SRV's keyboardist), Tab explores the 12 bar blues with style, humor and feeling. His tone is awesome and his voice is so, so good that this guy deserves much more recognition and exposure. Every track is a gem. Buy it today - you'll thank me tomorrow! :) I've just ordered his other CDs.
