SaRon Crenshaw was completely unknown to me until videos of a performance in the Netherlands appeared on the internet. It turned out that Bart Kamp had discovered him in New York and brought him to the Netherlands for a few performances and CD recordings. When Bart played with Monti Amundson at Bluesmoose Café, I asked him to bring a copy of ‘Goin’ To Get Deep!’ and bought one. Bart told me that he had recorded the CD independently and that five hundred copies were initially produced. The CD was recorded live at the Berkelse Bluesclub and the sound is excellent.
It has turned out to be a beautiful CD with wonderful ‘old school’ blues. No explosive, hard solos, but lovely bluesy guitar work on which SaRon’s warm, smooth voice thrives perfectly. He is backed by Bart Kamp on bass, Patrick Cuyvers on Hammond and piano, and Frank Duindam on drums. SaRon wrote two songs himself: Guitarman and Tight Cranky And Loose; the other seven are covers. The CD opens with the delightful slow blues *Don’t Roll Your Eyes*, featuring sharp guitar playing, beautiful bass lines, Hammond organ, and tight drumming. The uptempo *The Moon Is Full* has a great rhythm in which bass and drums, combined with the Hammond playing, create a fine groove upon which the funky guitar playing excels. *Lie To Me* has a jazzy touch, and SaRon’s voice fits perfectly—a bit deep, a bit warm. A nice, swinging track. The ballad *Feels Like Rain* is sung very subdued, with a backing choir, and played as befits such a song. Then the funk continues with *Guitar Man*. A funky guitar intro transitions into a top-notch groove in which the organ sets the tone with wonderful interplay with the rhythm section, and where guitar and Hammond engage in a great duel. *44 Blues* features a sharp guitar intro, clapping crowd, and solo vocals before the band joins in—simply wonderful blues. The band is introduced before the song *Old Love*. SaRon’s voice carries this song in an incredibly sensitive way: emotional, sung with restraint and fitting accompaniment. Goosebumps! Feet leave the floor to the funky blues Tight, Cranky & Loose. “Are you ready to party?” asks SaRon before the final song, launching into the well-known Wang Dang Doodle and urging the audience to sing along, which ends in a beautiful solo.
Conclusion:
A wonderful CD featuring delightfully authentic blues work that is rarely heard anymore. It is often blues rock that dominates, which is also wonderful, but this is more the ‘original’ blues. A must-buy for lovers of fine blues!
