Описание: It has been said that in the last 30 years the blues tradition has been pillaged and burglarized by many different marauding armies from the commercial world. To the lover of the authentic blues, today’s Blues-Rock and Guitar Driven Power Blues seems as sensible as a child’s passion for chewing gum would to M. Escoffier. For Blues-Rock is a corruption of Rhythm-and-Blues, which was a dilution of the blues, so that today’s mass-marketed Blues-Rock & Guitar Driven Power Blues noise is a vulgarization of a vulgarization.
In Phil " Big Daddy Blues" Speat resides the real thing. Born on September 16,1961 in Compton, CA. He is an original article. He is one of the few people left that can shout the blues in Kansas City Style. Blessed like Big Joe Turner & Jimmy Rushing with an arsenal of vowel sounds and glottal shocks which you can nearly reach out and touch. Moreover Phil’s range is perfectly suited to the nature of his material, and that material is perfectly adequate to express the essence of his personality. At the age of 29 in 1990 Phil had a rather late start in down the blues road compared to other modern day blues artists. In 1990 while singing in "Jam Sessions" in Huntington, California Big Daddy Blues met two men "Joe Houston & Harvey "Harmonica Fats" Blackstone and they would have a big impact on the fledgling bluesinger. Plainly speaking “Big Daddy Blues” like the masters of the Kansas City Style of bluesinging Big Joe Turner & Jimmy Rushing has found a way, no doubt by pure instinct, of doing what every creative artist ought to do but few ever manage, he has contrived an ideal marriage of the blues from and content. He is almost the last of a long and honorable that includes Big Joe Turner, Jimmy Rushing,Jimmy Witherspoon, Big Momma Thornton,Victoria Spivey, Jay McShann, Alberta Hunter & of course Bessie Smith.
