Made in Austria, this is the fifth CD of West Side blues artist Eddie Taylor Jr., who learned his guitar style from the late Eddie Taylor Sr., famous for blues songs like “Big Town Play Boy” and “Bad Boy.” His son plays a more modern style, but it’s still 100% blues! Features Anthony Palmer from the Otis Rush Band, and Tim Taylor, also a son of Eddie Sr.

Rob Tognoni is one of the finest electric guitar players around today. His repertoire is a combination of classic rock, blues, and blues-rock, played with electrifying passion and spot-on precision. Boogie Like You Never Did is a collection of tracks culled from the three studio albums Tognoni released on the Blues Boulevard label. His fancy fretwork of catchy riffs, crushing chords, and explosive solos slices through the steadfast rhythm section like a chainsaw through solid hardwood! One of the most adept practitioners of the genre, his brand of uncompromising high-octane power-blues-rock, combined with superb songwriting and evocative lyrics are now being favorably compared with the greats of his genre and have garnered him a loyal following amongst worldwide aficionados of electric blues-rock.

“By the time John Mayall recorded this album in Los Angeles mid-1980, the core lineup of his band had played hundreds of shows together over the previous year and were a tight and well-oiled electric blues machine. This album encompasses the absolute contemporary experience, complete with airtight rhythm section, piercing guitar licks and Mayall’s fierce harmonica. Big Man Blues is a more than worthy addition to any blues fan’s collection!
