”THE LONE STAR BLUES” ©2008 Independently Released Review by Lucky Boyd....MyTexasMusic From the opening “Upside Down” Tubie Pushée sets the bar for this album with a real thinker set in an exciting blues feel. Throughout the disc you’ll find several blues styles, all of them excellently executed. From rock to swamp to folky blues, Pushée offers a diverse setting for his sophomore project. Penning most of the cuts himself, Pushée swings the pendulum vocally as well. His rough style is perfect for “Talk To Me Blues” (written by Donnis Hammond) and he uses his ‘inside’ voice for “The H.R. Dept. Blues,” which is the kind of song you could only write if you’ve lived it. Poor sap. You’ll hear an array of guitar work, and while the licks aren’t wrapped in an L.A. style polish, they are truly Texan, and each one seems to be the perfect choice for it’s respective track. I’m impressed with this second release and I think it elevates Pushée to a new level among blues players in Texas. Without question, he can hold his own at any blues festival in the state. Pushée has remained true to his artistic control on this album and has offered fans a diverse release with some real gems on board. I listened to this album three times all the way through before capturing my thoughts on the project. It’s comfortable in that respect and it has a decent flow that keeps you listening. True Blues fans will flock to this album.
.."The Lonestar Blues" is a Texas blues guitar album that
features quirky, unique lyrics and jazzy undertones from Tubie Pushe'e.
Tubie's voice is a huge part of the sound, delivered with that Texan
country twang that shows his personality and forces the listener to lean
on every word. The arrangements behind him are skillful and create a
relationship between clever lyricist and top-notch musicians you will
surely enjoy. The riffs are catchy, and the rhythms are bouncy, with
great variance from song to song. The production quality of “The
Lonestar Blues” is very good as well, with emphasis placed on truly
capturing the rawness of Tubie. Highlights include "Talk to Me
Blues," with a driving rhythm, great guitar work, and a lively
vocal performance. "Goodbye" touches on the swampy side with a
little harmonica, some Tubie twang, and smooth vocals. The title track,
"The Lonestar Blues," closes things out nicely with more great
guitar work and is as blue as blues can be. With “The Lonestar
Blues,” Tubie Pushe’e has compiled an album full of unique and
enjoyable blues songs. If you enjoy Texas blues with off-the-wall,
twangy vocals, give Tubie a listen. |
