Someone who has paid his blues dues many times over and (at least so far) has been ignored by blues labels is Alabama-born, Tucson, Arizona, mainstay Sam Taylor. Bluz Man, only Big Sam's second solo recording in a musical career that stretches back almost half a century, is a compact disc crying for national recognition. It is Taylor's very good fortune to have included in his crisp and proficient backing band an incredibly versatile solo instrumentalist, the classically-trained electric violinist Heather Hardy. She sensitively rips, at times quite effectively recalling both David LaFlamme and Papa John Creach. This 10-cut, 58-minute recording is all Taylor-made material, presenting to great effect his superb soul/blues vocals and gritty, paper-cut guitar leads.
