A legendary performer of breathtaking diversity
and virtuosity
After a distinguished, fifty year journey through the annals of American
musical history, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown has come full circle
to the original source of his popularity: a swinging hybrid of blues and
jazz liberally seasoned with other influences from the Texas-Louisiana border
country. Along the way, he's established himself as a legendary performer
of breathtaking diversity and virtuosity. At home on vocals, guitar, harmonica,
mandolin, and fiddle, or with composer's pen in hand, he has demonstrated
his mastery of blues, jazz, cajun, country, and swing. He brings all these
strains of music together with instantly recognizable individuality in the
upcoming release, American Music, Texas Style, his debut on Blue Thumb Records,
a Verve Music Group label. |
