Music reviews of Blast Off: The Best Of Anson Funderburgh And The Rockets
Music Review: + 1/2 stars...Excellent Intro to Texas Blues Man
Rating: 4 Stars
Anson Funderburgh's solo career begins its twenty-fifth year with this well chosen anthology. It includes tracks from his Black Top debut TALK TO YOU BY HAND ("Come On") through his latest on Rounder's Bullseye Blues WHICH WAY IS TEXAS? ("Rambling Woman").
Most of these tracks feature Sam Myers on vocals/harmonica. The now seventy-year-old Myers (who has worked with such blues giants as Elmore James) joined the band in 1986. In addition, Myers is a fine songwriter ("I Done Quit Getting Sloppy Drunk" and "My Heart Cries Out for You" on this anthology). [Trivia alert: That's Beavis and Butt-head creator Mike Judge on bass on the opening track. He was a member of the Rockets from 1987-1990.]
This is an excellent update of 1992's anthology THRU THE YEARS. My only complaint is that BLAST OFF duplicates eleven of those songs. But overall, this is a throughly enjoyable and satisfying collection of this modern Texas blues artist. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
