 Tommy
Bankhead - Please Accept My Love
{Recorded 9/11/2000, released 2002 | Fedora
Records}
Unfortunatly,
this is Tommy Bankheads third and final album
as he passed away December 16th, 2000 of complications
from emphysema.
The eleven tracks are:
1.
I'm Not Your Alley Cat
2. Worried Life Blues - very cool remake of
a great song
3. Please Accept My Love - this is a Delta blues
style song, there were big up-strokes on this
song
4. If You Call That Gone - has a standard blues
bass line with steady low keyed electric blues
guitar riffs throughout.
5. Everything Gonna Be Alright - raw vocals
and great beat
6. Santa's Blue Lover Blues - I love bluesy
Christmas songs, this is no exception. The piano
(Bob Lohr) was particularly tasty on this track
7. Me & My Oxygen Tank - this is a talking
song, I have heard that near the end Tommy played
at BB's with his oxygen tank and Cryin'
Shame backed him.
8. Are You Ready? - a mellow tune, the guitar
was the highlight of this song
9. Stoop Down - pure blues swing!
10. Come To Me - over eight minutes of beautiful
blues, mostly guitar
11. Tommy's Story - Tommy's history in his own
words.
I
liked tracks 5, 6 & 9, my favorites were
2, 4 & 10

Ciao'
for now
