Blues & Jazz Reviews - Cathi Norton
Omar & The Howlers – “Bamboozled” (Ruf Records) B-A live disc from this Austin road dawg band. It’s a party band, a la Creedence Clearwater with a leaning toward blues. Omar is a big old bear with a growly voice who does a lot of parties and cover songs. Not bad—covers Doug Sahm and Bo Diddley beats, and some come credible rock/blues, but not necessarily my favorite group.
Swinderman, Eric – “In Pursuit of the Sound” (Belle Productions) A
San Franciscan guitarist who does a variety of smooth jazz to spanish-flamenco-tinged numbers, and some interesting covers of Miles Davis. Check out the solo acoustic cover of Miles in “Nardis.” Verrrrry interesting. All instrumental but for a Joyce Grant original (#6). Probably good for all mixes
