“Chicago” Carl Snyder is one of those under-heralded artists whose work has somehow flown under the radar of the popular recognition, despite having performed for over 50 years with the likes of Junior Wells, Otis Rush, Son Seals and Jimmy Johnson. He has played on two WC Handy award-winning albums and two more that were nominated for Grammies. He also appeared in the film, “Blues Highway,” which was nominated for an Academy Award. Since moving to Pennsylvania in 1996, he has continued to play blues, jazz and cocktail music in a variety of settings, while launching and operating his own record label, Lost World Music, and hosting radio shows on college and public stations.

Larry Burton is the complete package - a great guitarist, a soulful blues singer and a creative songwriter. Larry's resumé reads like a who's who of the blues. He has played in support of Albert King, Albert Collins, John Lee Hooker, Taj Mahal, Johnny Winter, Koko Taylor, Little Milton, Son Seals, Otis Rush, Jimmy Johnson, Lonnie Brooks, Jimmy Witherspoon, Sugar Blue, Kim Wilson and Champion Jack Dupree, just to name a few.

Larry also has played on over two dozen albums, including the great Albert King album San Francisco '83 and Lou Rawls' experimental Shades of Blue. He's on A.C. Reed's iconoclastic Fed Up With This Music. He's on four Collins albums, two of them recorded live in Switzerland and Japan. He's on three albums with Johnny Littlejohn and two with Jimmy Johnson. He's featured on Past, Present And Future (Earwig Music) by his brother Aron Burton, the well known blues singer and bass player. He was also co-leader of the Burton Brothers Blues Band when they cut their album released in Europe on the B&B Label. Larry is also spotlighted on the Icehouse Records release, Slide Guitar Blues, along with Johnny Winter, Sonny Landreth and Elmore James.

Naturally, all the other blues artist would have been happy if Larry had continued to back them up with his outstanding rhythm work - he plays full, precise chords that are fingered so cleanly and played so tenderly, you can hear every note - and his fully developed, fiery solos. But his ability to front a band blossomed on one of his European tours and led to the release of his own first album Hustler's Paradise on the Brambus Label. It is chock full of scorching guitar and features all original songs by Larry Burton. They explore the nuances of the man/woman relationship that is the source of so much of the world's blues - and the medicine for it too.

In a nutshell, Larry Burton is a terrific songwriter and a talented guitarist. The lesser known half of the Burton brothers - the other one is Chicago bassist/vocalist Aron Burton - Larry has spent much of his career as a valued sideman for Albert Collins, Albert King and Johnny Littlejohn, and he has appeared frequently on recordings by these and other notable artists. Burton stepped up front on Hustler's Paradise, his first album, and this one, recorded in Nashville on his own label, finds him again taking the vocal and guitar leads through a set of 12 original tunes and an Elmore James cover ("Coming Home").

Burton is an exceptional songwriter with the indispensable ability to paint vivid word pictures: "By the time I reached the city limits/He was already there/Before I crossed the county line/Your legs were in the air" comes from "How Could I Be Such a Fool." He can also spin you on your heels with a trenchant line like "I went to Chicago on a lark/They had turned the blues into a theme park" in an otherwise innocuous song ("Good Idea at the Time"), or put crackheads in poetic perspective: "Sun comes up, sun goes down/It doesn't matter if you're not around" ("Pipe Dream"). And on a haunting ode to the blues ("The Blues Just Stay the Same") Burton waxes: "Heartache and misfortune are seldom tame/They present themselves to you by many different names/But the blues, yes, the blues just stay the same."

It is primarily as a guitarist that Larry Burton has earned his keep, and his playing leaves no mystery why he has worked steady for many years. He can rock as hard as any teen wonder (but with the taste and maturity of a man) or slow down to a heart-stopping, out-of-phase electric slide, as he does on the shimmering instrumental "Delta Sundown." The backing is adequate if nondescript, highlighted by Kurt Bislin's overamplified harp work. Overall, The Blues Just Stay the Same is a very fine effort marred only by Burton's limited vocal ability. Singing in key would help, for starters. /Jack Oudiz
