Trudy Lynn - Royal Oak Blues Cafe [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Born Lee Audrey Nelms in Houston's Fifth Ward, Trudy Lynn comes from strong musical stock: the late Al 'TNT' Braggs, one of Houston's most electrifying R&B vocalists and a prolific songwriter for Bobby 'Blue' Bland, was her cousin.

rrAfter a long and successful career, which included European releases for Ruf and Isabel, Lynn entered into another longstanding label relationship with Connor Ray Music. The late Jerry Lightfoot introduced her to label owner, harpist Steve Krase, and she was given the creative freedom to write new music while still recording select vintage covers, with dynamic results. Her acclaimed Royal Oaks Blues Cafxe9 (2013) reached 1 on the Billboard Blues Chart and gets its long awaited re-release.

rrTrudy Lynn gives Steve Krase a starring role on Royal Oaks Blues Cafxe9 and he does indeed shine throughout the album. He offers subtle support, sometimes slipping in to accentuate her verses, then he takes center stage for slippery, supple solos that bring a bit of Chicago to Lynn's Texas blues. Such casual bending of genre boundaries is one of the appealing things about Lynn's latter-stage career: she's absorbed all the shifts in soul-blues styles since the '60s, so she can slide between sounds with ease. There are rollicking roadhouse rockers like 'Red Light' here but what gives this album such personality are the digressions into mellow, rolling soul ('Feel It'), funky R&B stomps ('Down in Memphis'), and even a sojourn into the Delta by way of Jimmy Reed ('Whip It to a Jelly'). Lynn is a master of every one of these sounds and so is Krase, so it's a pleasure to hear them enjoy each other's company.
