I knew Hugh Laurie was a multi-talented performer, but this CD is outstanding. The emotions he captures in both his singing and piano playing are so real. You can tell that this is not a "stunt" or "novelty" recording. He feels this music in his soul, and he shines! The other musicians he collaborates with are fantastic as well. I love this disc.
He can't sing all that well, but i can't stop listening to this CD he brings back memories of the originals.
they didn't have good voices either, they were able to sell their stories. this is why i recommend this album.
I look forward to more blues from hugh, and will be playing this album again and again as you probably realize, by now i'm a blues lover from way back.
Hugh Lawrie as a soul and blues singer ? - he's a dam good singer and musician but definately not a Soul and Blues singer he's voice is too ENGLISH - he doesn't have that soul souding voice to carry the choice of songs off sucessfully - the accompianing musician's on the other hand are superb David Piltch on the bass -great, Greg Litsz and Kevin Brett etc etc there all good, but sorry not Hugh Laurie singing the blues. If you want to listen to English men singing the blues go listen to Chris Rea, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Stevie Winwood, and for me the best English blues singer of all - Chris Farlowe, just to name a few but not Hugh Laurie sorry.
