After many years of working as sidemen for other performers, Tucker and Thomas have finally stepped up to the front of the stage. And they're proud to say that most of the tunes on their newly released first CD, "Stranded," are simple three-chord affairs.
The album contains punchy versions of Albert King's "Hey Baby," and Lloyd Price's "Lawdy Miss Clawdy." But the song that really stands out is a very funkified rendition of "Mustang Sally."
Joining Tucker and Thomas on "Stranded" are guitarist James Armstrong, pianist Leon Haywood and other West Coast blues pros. Tucker even gives way on the drums on several tunes to his brother, Aaron Tucker, who regularly works with Smokey Wilson.
