welcome to kid red's
mp3 page
a guitarist and whishky-voiced singer who
has knocked around the Crescent City long enought to have been rained on
at a Saints home game, kid red creates a spicy electric blues, seasoned
with swing and salso and rock and roll, with a uniquely funky edge.
On stage he's been described as "that Iggy
Pop blues guy," furtively prowling back and forth while his guitar stings,
then purrs, then growls,then bops. In the true Big Easy tradition he serves
up the jagged edges of his soul, Tom Waits with an overhead cam and glasspacks
and a pocket full of worry and pain.
Billy Pilgrim music, unstuck in time.
New Orleans has a gris gris connection with
her musicians. When they first become involved in music there they fall
into it, though like kid red, few realize it at the time. They go on their
merry way, wondering off to here or there until the gris gris calls them
back and says, let's hear what you learned."
What they learned is what New Orleans blues
great Eddie Lang oncetold a young Skip "Hoochie Coochie Man" Easterling,
"Just let 'em hearwhat's in your heart."
kid red's come home for show and tell.
