The
Hollywood Blue Flames – Soul Sanctuary
{2005 | Delta Groove Productions}
The
Original Hollywood Fats Band - Al Blake: vocals,
harmonica & guitar, Richard Innes: drums,
Fred Kaplan: piano & organ & Larry Taylor:
bass and now with guitar guru Kirk Fletcher:
guitar – they’re back and serving
up platefuls of the blues.
- Song List -
1. Flambed (inst) (1:54) –
it’s fresh and full of boogie.
2. Nit Wit (2:16) – a
rockabilly, foot tappin’ ditty.
3. The Land of Calio (3:27)
– soulful harmonica with jazzy vocals.
This song takes it slow, and takes it easy,
reminds me of the bull with young bull on top
of hill, you know the joke…
4. Soon Forgotten (3:57) –
the guitar playin’ was terrific, great
solos with a piano backing.
5. He's A Blues Man (4:20)
– Kaplan plays in the style of Johnnie
Johnson and the harmonica is right on with lots
of groove.
6. Jo Angelyn (inst) (5:09)
– a cool instrumental proving that these
guys are really good, I dug the organ and guitar
playin’.
7. I'm A Luck, Luck Man (2:57)
– a very solid song and as bluesy as they
come.
8. Black Cat Bone (2:30) –
another winner, this time highlighting Blakes
harmonica talents.
9. Soul Sanctuary (inst) (3:16)
– good song, very bluesy piano, harmonica
and guitar.
10. My National Inquirer Baby
(2:37) – good ol’ fashioned parlor
blues with piano, some horns and deep vocals.
11. Coco Puffin' (7:11) –
over seven minutes of blues bliss, my choice
for best song.
- Bonus Tracks -
12. Big Foot's Boogie (inst)
(2:10) – a jazzy instrumental, no complaints
it’s a bonus.
13. You're Sweet - with Kim
Wilson on harmonica(4:07) – and what a
bonus it is. Blues harmonica with vocals at
the same time.

I’m into blues, they think its gotta turn
you blue old Grandpa music – if you know
someone like that, do em’ a favor, turn
em’ onto these cats. This CD will leave
the blues connoisseur with their mouth waterin’
wantin’ another helping. Rating: 4.446
