We Say...
Though he's a daring electric guitarist, this Louisiana maverick (whose father Tabby Thomas was a mainstay of Excello's great swamp-blues roster) sticks mostly to a sharp, snappy acoustic for this set — all the more unusual because he uses it as a context in which to experiment with sampling and other hip-hop effects. But his introspective originals play off remakes of Robert Johnson and Son House that keep him close to the roots.

They Say...
The son of Louisiana bluesman Tabby Thomas makes an acoustic with real bite to it on this outing. Daddy Tabby joins him for a remake of "Hoodoo Party" and "Bus Station Blues," but for the rest of the album, it's mostly Chris working out on various resonator dobro guitars and harmonica. Besides nine of his originals on this 14-tracker, he boldly takes on a pair of Robert Johnson tunes ("Rambling On My Mind" and "Come On In My Kitchen") and Son House's "Death Letter Blues" in the midst of contemporary offerings like the urban "Alive" and the poppish "Wanna Die With a Smile On My Face." There's just as much of a folk vibe to this session as there is a blues one, and the blend works well for Thomas' all-encompassing style.
