Amazon.com Here's one for you: How many ways can you slice and dice a bluesman's catalog? Rounder already has Texas Swing, a generous 17-song (out of 20) sampling of Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown's two early-1980s gems Alright Again! and One More Mile--and both original albums are still available. Now they've shaved the running time (and the price accordingly) to give listeners yet another, more-affordable option. The real attraction here, however, is the addition of three smoking live cuts: two from 1985's Real Life (also available in its entirety) and one 10-minute romp through "The Drifter," recorded in 1982 and issued on the obscure 1992 compilation Strike a Deep Chord: Blues Guitar for the Homeless. Truth is, you can't really go wrong with any of these options, for Brown's assured vocals and razor-sharp guitar (and occasional fiddle or harp) always impress, whether on slow and gritty 12-bars, horn-fueled jump, or fleet-fingered swing. --Marc Greilsamer Similarly Requested CDs

Member CD Reviews Al V. (Al) from HOOVER, AL Reviewed on 12/10/2006... Some nice updated soides by the Gulf Coast blues legend. A Nice version of his original R & B yhit Okie Dokie Stomp. Gatemouth recently passed away. A real loss.
CD ReviewsGatemouth Is Special William S. Cherry | Galveston, TX USA | 03/09/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "The first time I heard Gatemouth was in 1952 as a 7th grader. His 78 rpm record, "The Okie Dokie Stomp" was on the cafeteria jukebox, and it played over and over and over again during the lunch hour.Then a few years later I was lucky enough to get my own DJ show on one of the local Galveston radio stations. I chose "The Okie Dokie Stomp" for my theme song and it stayed with me for as long as I was known a Brokenhearted Bill.Gatemouth must be in his late 70s by now, but his style with a guitar has never been successfully copied. Many have tried. If you like the blues, Gatemouth needs to be included in your collection, and this CD is a good place to start." Great Album Stranger | New Jersey USA | 11/27/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "I'm unsure why "Gatemouth" does not get more recognition. He is a unique talent, great guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, writer, bandleader, singer. Who to compare him to ? T-Bone Walker, perhaps ? Any blues lover will like this album and style."
