Charles Big Daddy StallingsThe Blues Room presents ...
PUTTING SOME FUNK INTO YOUR BLUES
Episode 246, 6 September
Charles 'Big Daddy' Stallings
Blues Party
Tai Jeria Record Company / Synquesse Music
Third album by Charles 'Big Daddy' Stallings 'Blues Party' lives up to its name without a doubt! Born in Columbia, South Carolina, and getting raised on a farm in Hobbsville, North Carolina, Big Daddy was honing his guitar playing and vocals from an early age by first learning Big Boss Man by Jimmy Reed. He has since released outstanding albums of 'good time blues with a twist' and shared the stage with The Holmes Brothers, Pinetop Perkins, Hubert Sumlin, Mark Hummel and Candye Kane to name a few.
Blues Party brings elements of funk, soul, and blues together with some latin influences, plenty of tasty horn sections including fine Mississippi saxaphone, and a whole lotta heart. Big Daddy’s vocals are excellent, husky at times and at other times as smooth as silk. There’s obvious influences from some of the greats like BB King, James Brown, and Muddy Waters here but what I like most is Big Daddy’s own personality and great sense of humour that shines through on songs like Old Folks, and Doggone Shame. Blues Party gets 4 out of 5 thumbs up from me. Good time blues with a twist!
