Tiny Legs Tim – “Elsewhere Bound” – LP/cd/Digital – Record Co. – Sing My Title – SMT-013 – Distribution – N.E.W.S.
Belgiun got the celebration of the Blues by internationally renowned festivals like Blues Peer, Swing Wespelaar Gevarenwinkel Blues Festival, Hook Rock Festival, Swamps like the Hoge Venen, river deltas of the Rhine-Maas&Schelde & special, palmary blues-artists like Tiny Legs Tim a.k.a. Tim De Graeve. He is a maestro to slide his bottleneck in red-heat on acoustic or electric six-string and to be a crooner with a special, barnstorming suffrage. He has recorderd 3 studio cd’s more or less as solo/duo-artist and one live cd featuring a small combo. For his 5th release and a glorified, magnified 2019 he was in the mood for a release with a large band, he entitled it “Elsewhere Bound”!
“Elsewhere Bound” as title and album-track opens the round-dance as first song. The horn section inaugurates it with a big-bang. By the Grooves no feet will stand still and this song will definitely glorify your day. The rhythms remind a bit of “Get It On” by T. Rex. Tim’s guitar solos are Memphis-bound. The following “One More Chance” has a jazzy spirit, down way yonder in New Orleans. By “Still In Love” Tim’s retro chant is ever so seductive. He lets his electric baby talk in the reminiscence of the one & only B.B. King. “In The Morning” is a ever so outstanding Big-Band-Jazz with fabulous horns, piano and rhumba-vibes. “Nowhere My Home” is a melancholic ballad featuring Tiny Legs Tim as solo artist and playing his acoustic the finest, virtuoso fingerpickin‘ style. By “The Lovin‘ Kind” mister De Graeve was by his canto and guitar-escapades in the mood to boogie and his band, specially the horns for some finest “Latino Meets Jazz” celebration. Great unique and rousing blend ot the two styles. It manifests also the great skills of him as songwriter. “Don’t Be Sorry” spreads swampy, spooky sound-flair. “The Game” is the absolulte culmination of “Elsewhere Bound” as highlight ballad, with intoxicating, sensitive voice and acoustic delta-style reveries. It can be entitled an ode to all the big, smal rivers and swamps worldwide. “New Place” will take you by closed eyed on a trip from the Mississippi River to the Amazonas, great percussion-drums and bass solos. Blues Meets Jazz & South American Vibrations. “I Ain*t Reday is the final worship to all the blues-men in heaven from John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Albert and Freddie King to Stevie-Ray-Vaughan. Hell of a great empathetic solo blues-ballad as grand-final.
“Elsewhere Bound” unites Blues-, -Rock, Jazz, Latino Sounds in sensational harmony. A fascinating opus for all music-devotees.
