Album Notes
by cdbaby
Strahan has been beating the road up for eight straight years now. He has become comfortable with who he is as a songwriter, performer, and entertainer. This album proves he is in this for the enjoyment and happiness that it brings to others. Strahan's new rhythm section, Chris Compton on Drums, and Jimmy Hartman on bass, is a pile driving piece of machinery that creates a fantastic groove. The keyboard presence on this album is more than usual. Strahan focused equally on the vintage vibes of the Hammond B-3, Fender Rhodes, Clavinet and Wurley as he does on his guitar. There is also more vocal harmony on this album than before. Overall, it's fair to say this is Strahan's most mature and driving CD to date.
OFFICIAL ABOUT
As if growing up in Lamesa, Texas, (population 9,422 from the 2010 census, located south of Lubbock on the Llano Estacado) is not bad enough, Jeff Strahan also studied and practiced law. But he returned to his roots as a third generation garage “bandanista” and is now a full time, axe wielding, keyboard slamming,Texas blues rocking musician. The world is better off on both accounts; we have one less lawyer to deal with and one more great musician to listen to. But we almost did not have this- he first had to beat a terminal illness and regain his strength to perform, tour, write, record and compete in the IBCs. His musical style swings on both sides of the border, with flaming hot Texas guitar licks sometimes with a Mexican influence.
Strahan’s music is southern rock, blues, folk and more all rolled into one. If the Marshall Tucker Band had come from Lubbock, Texas instead of South Carolina, they might have sounded a lot like this. From the blistering guitar to the laid back lyrics, the music oozes Texas and sounds mighty fine. If you are looking for some great blues influenced rock done up hot and spicy Texas-styled, you need look no further. And if you are a fan of big guitar solos and a band that can jam with the best of them, this will make your day.
