Beautiful Bobby's  CD, Travelin' Home, release date was January 1, 2005. This CD is the closest to being at a live blues show. Beautiful Bobby gathered together his current working musicians and they did not hold back on their performances. He delivers on some soulful guitar solos and vocals and it will be the CD that you will play over and over again. He dug down deep in his Texas soul to give you some new blues songs that will excite your appetite for something new in 2005.
This has been a good month for new releases, and this new one from Beautiful Bobby Blackmon, Travelin' Home (B3 Records), is right there among the top ones. It's a bluesy Southern guitar and vocal outing, and one that I've listened to many times since it arrived. The opening track, "I Don't Know But I Gotta Go," is an immediate catcher and sets the tone for the 11 great tracks that follow it. Think of Little Milton doing "Walkin' The Back Streets And Crying" and you'll get the feel of this first track, and it only gets better. John Hiatt's "Feels Like Rain" is given a tremendous effort here, perhaps the best I have heard of this Hiatt classic. The humorous "If Mama Ain't Happy" is a good storytelling song somewhat reminiscent of the type of songs Larry Garner writes, and the fabulous "The Bluest Blues," an Alvin Lee tune that lets Blackmon's guitar playing and vocals shine, are both great inclusions here. Another standout track is "It Ain't Easy," a slow blues with a fine spoken intro that immediately catches your attention. I could go through each track and expound on it's merits, but you need to check this CD out for yourself.
