Snatch It Back - Red Hot & Blue

Year: 1993
Bitrate: MP3@320K/s
Time: 41:50
Size: 96,9 MB
Styles: Electric blues, harmonica blues
Scans: Full

1. Snatch It Back And Hold It (3:33)
2. The Doctor (5:28)
3. Drunk Instead (3:22)
4. Big Leg Woman (4:20)
5. Knighttime (3:11)
6. Ride Your Pony (4:16)
7. I Stand Accused (2:40)
8. Heart Of Stone (3:13)
9. Late Night Shift (5:04)
10. Riot In Cell Block No 9 (3:12)
11. She's Hot (3:25)

It is the band's ability to expand upon the traditional blues catalogue that was to lift them out of the local pub-and-club circuit and eventually to see them recording for a major label and touring all over. The blues, rhythm & blues, and rockin' shuffles that brought the Fabulous Thunderbirds to world prominence has elevated Snatch It Back too. Chris Rees not only plays the harp, he lives, walks and talks it. Some say he even looks like a young Kim Wilson. Chris also has a uniquely strong voice (He sounds like Freddy King with his head in between heaven and a cannon ball.), while guitarist Glyn Knight is a force blending cool vintage sounds with modern tastes.

Whilst many another groups have remained content to draw from the basic blues repertoire, Snatch It Back have always added to the songbook. Indeed, even before the band was properly up and running, singer and harmonica player Chris Rees was having songs covered by the likes of Dave Edmunds. SIB might just be one of the most purposeful bands around. The members of this band aren't just a bunch of excellent musicians playing some extremely well-written original tunes, they're much more than that. Snatch It Back is a mood - and that mood is blue. The harp is plaintive, the guitar is incisive, the bass lines are driving and the drums offer machine-gun bursts.

Styles: Electric blues, harmonica blues
Scans: Full

1. Evil (5:11)

10. Boogie (5:14)
11. Don't Start Me Talking (2:15)
12. Treat Her Right (3:08)
13. Wang Dang Doodle (5:54)

Formed in the mid-1980s, Snatch It Back have been regarded as a premier blues band for so long now that the phrase has almost become an appendix to their name. These guys are one of the truly original blues bands, avoiding the look of a glorified barroom cover band that is content to simply draw on the musical treasure chest of blues history. This album features a clutch of strong, self-penned compositions that are born of truth and nurtured by experience. Snatch It Back are a testament to the universal emotionality of the blues, and are equally at home with the R&B aspects of the music. Steam-shovel blues that is lowdown, dirty and bad-to-the-bone.
