Mike Morgan and The Crawl have combined several distinct facets of the blues into a real Texas scorcher with their latest offering Texas Man. (Severn) Mississippi slide with Chicago bass lines and a rock-a-billy rhythm make this CD a real treasure. The Latin blues feel on “Guitar Rhumbo” along with Morgan’s signature guitar licks on “I’m Gonna Love You,” “The Way You Left Me Girl,” and Elmore James’ “Wild About You” really add a great feel to this project. Mike Morgan recaptures the lost art of including a couple of strict blues instrumentals on this CD, and they are refreshing. Morgan’s songs are a wonderful example of the blues talent Texas has to offer. Though influenced from a few different directions, Morgan has taken root in the Texas blues scene. There’s something here for all blues fans, especially those who like a good barn-burner once in a while. This self-produced project is art-centered, craft-true, and very well done. Whether you’re new to blues, or an old blues hound, this is a must-buy. Pick up your copy today for only $12.99! Added 3-1-04 Mike Morgan and The Crawl "LIVE IN DALLAS" $13.99
