Travis Koester

Out With the Old

(Independent)




More than can normally be asked of a recording retrospective, this includes blues moods from pensive to stutter-stepped to bold and brash. Travis boasts the chops, but the major industry is unconcerned with substance. That leaves it to independents to mine the real treasure - as is so often the case.

Recommended: "Zorro Goes Surfin'," "Hold On Mama," "The Bassette Lodge Blues." "Truck Driving Daddy," "I'm Your Dog," "Workin' Daddy," "Troubadour," "Take Me To the River," "Hot Rod Mama"
