The Juno Award winning band continues to add to its legacy as one of the most highly regarded bands in the country with the release of their 6th cd, Building Full Of Blues. The cd hits the street in April on the Electro-Fi imprint. (The disc will be released in U.S. and European markets in June).
Building Full Of Blues finds Fathead?s long time songwriting force, Lerman and Tunnoch, taking their talents to another level. Covering a wide range of subject matter while providing streetwise commentary on the human condition, they deliver 10 strong originals. Newest addition, guitar player Darran Poole, weighs in with another original and proves throughout that he?s not merely a replacement but an integral part of the band. He contributes a song of his own and adds to the mix of styles and textures found on the disc, (including a display of versatility by playing some Cajun-inspired fiddle on ?Katrina?). The traditional ?Last Time?, complete with heartfelt ensemble singing, rounds out a beautifully mixed recording that the band presents as their strongest to date.
Building Full Of Blues also boasts special guests Jesse O?Brien, (on piano), and Lance Anderson, (on Hammond B-3), each contributing on a number of tracks. And Shakura S?Aida joins John Mays on a duet for the R&B tinged, ?What About Me?.
Building Full Of Blues is classic Fathead: great songwriting, rock solid collective playing, virtuoso soloing, and deep soulful vocals ? all sure to satisfy!
