V-8 Records Releases LIVE
FROM THE SAXON PUB by The Spencer Thomas Band....
....
The Spencer Thomas Band announces
the upcoming release of V-8 Records’ debut CD, an album of 8 songs recorded
live at The Saxon Pub on April 23, 2009.
The 8 songs were edited from a blistering hour and a half set at the
iconic South Austin venue, and they capture Thomas delivering his trademark
old-school Austin R&B mix with the help of some truly legendary
musicians. ....
While
Spencer’s vocal talent is front and center, the live setting also highlights
the virtuosic talents of drummer Rodney Craig (The Cobras, Angela Strehli) and
bassist Brad Fordham (Jerry Jeff Walker, Wanda Jackson) as they lay down an
amazing foundation for the wailing tenor sax of Jim Trimmier (The Vanguards, Nick Curran), and the
outstanding guitar work of Michael Holt, (who also fronts his own band The Trophy 500's) ....
Live From The Saxon Pub includes three
of Spencer’s originals that first saw light on his 2007 release, Voodoo
Dream, and five classic r&b numbers that have been mainstays of the
band’s live performance for years. Ray
Charles, Little Milton, Freddie King, Lightnin’ Slim, and the obscure Charles
Sims provide the rest of the material for this rockin’ set.....
The CD
will be the first release on the V-8 label.
The upstart company, headed by Michael Holt, is a cooperative of artists
whose music expresses a uniquely Texas Soul.
The label aims to capitalize on the new “do-it-yourself” trends of
today’s music distribution environment. ....
