Based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Giba “Guitar” Byblos is no stranger to straight-ahead Chicago blues, and he delivers it in heaping helpings on this self-produced CD, the second in his brief, but extremely tasty catalog. In addition to being a string-bender and vocalist who delivers his lyrics in almost totally unaccented English, he’s also a music promoter who’s worked closely with some of the best musicians the Windy City has to offer, including guitarists Jimmy Johnson, aka the Barroom Preacher, rising superstar Toronzo Cannon and Jon McDonald, a longtime fixture with Magic Slim, and drummer Merle Perkins, a 40-year veteran timekeeper and bandleader whose resume includes long service time with James Cotton, Lonnie Brooks, Freddy and Albert King, John Littlejohn and Son Seals, just to name a few.
The second disc in Byblos’ catalog, Tomorrow, is a follow-up to the 2011 release My Duty. It came about after a conversation with Johnson at the conclusion of a Brazilian tour three years ago. The pair were stuck in traffic and Giba, the driver, was feeling anxious. Johnson tried to calm him, drawing from 60 years on the road. “Listen to me,” he said. “Yesterday have came and gone. Tomorrow is unknown.” That kernel of wisdom evolved into a song on which Byblos and Johnson share writing credits as well as this album, which includes eight other Giba originals and three covers. Johnson joins Byblos in the studio on rhythm and lead for a cover of his classic tune, “Heap See.” Rounding out the sound are a collection of several top Brazilian musicians, including Fabio Basili (bass), Paulinha Sarriso (drums), Dada Tristao and Adriana Grineberg (keyboards), Mauricio Sahady (guitar), Clayton Silva (sax) and Miqueias Nascimento (trumpet). Edu Gomes, who produced the disc, adds tambourine and shakers.
