The multi Grammy award winning musician and actor grew up as a child-prodigy guitarist learning the blues at the feet of some of the music’s masters at the Baton Rouge, Louisiana club Tabby’s Blues Box, owned by his father, Rockin’ Tabby Thomas. The “Red Mud Sessions” was a return to his delta blues roots.

The all-acoustic “Red Mud Sessions” is the album, which helped to gain the attention of the Coen brothers who was casting the movie “O Brother Where Art Thou?” You’ll hear that same sound in this CD of King originals.

Chris does it all with the notable exception on cuts 1, 3, & 7 where Darryl White helps out nicely on drums. The rest of the music you hear on this CD is Chris Thomas King
