Product Description Raucous, rowdy, gentle, sweet, eccentric, quirky, and outright irreverent are all words that fittingly describe Tas Cru's songs and testify to his reputation as one of the most unique bluesmen plying his trade today. Cru has received wide praise for his songwriting. As Downbeat magazine notes, "His songs are blues poetry - crafted with rare verbal flair, and his ability to cast a memorable hook is magical!" Live, these songs are performed with power and passion; as observed by Living Blues magazine, "The vivacity and sheer joy with which Cru plays is intoxicating!" His brand new album, SIMMERED AND STEWED ( VizzTone label group), consists of eleven songs flavored in most part by resonator, cigar box, and acoustic guitar. The album features harmonica, honky-tonk piano, Hammond B3 organ, and rich backing vocals.
