If this CD doesn’t propel Andy Santana to the Top Ranks of Modern blues Practitioners, I’ll be forever convinced that there’s No Hope for North America’s music ‘critics’ (not that they’ve proven to have any semblance of taste in the past…). First-off, the man can SING and I mean REALLY sing and that puts him in a very select group of Caucasians who can. No histrionics, no phony growling, trying to sound like he grew up in a Mississippi swamp. Instead, we get a warm, rich and unique vocal style that is as smooth as butter and a treat to listen to. Then we get a dose of some of the finest harmonica-playing since the days of Excello Records or John Lee Williamson. I love tasty harp and Santana is one of the best blowers to come along in decades. Too many harmonica ‘Stars’ have a ‘windbag syndrome’ and play far too many notes/solos but Santana offers short, packed-with-passion passages that have you asking, "Why don’t more people play like this?" And finally, while he wrote 4 of the 13 tunes (and they’re fine originals), Santana’s pick of covers is right-on-the-money -obscure gems that should’ve been hits – and the arrangements and reworking of these 9 tunes are superb. The production standards actually exceed many of the Big Label Blues albums I’ve heard recently (and by a wide margin). Each tune is expertly crafted and at a peak of perfection.
This is one of those albums where the listener is given so much wonderful music that one is inclined to seek out Andy Santana and say "Thank You!" Of course, having Junior Watson, Mike Schermer, and Curtis Smith (guitar), June Core, Joey Ventittelli (drums), Mike Phillips, Eric Kleven (bass), Audie deLone (organ, piano), Tom Poole (trumpet), Mike Peloquin (tenor & baritone sax), Mike Rinta (trombone, tuba), Tammi Brown (background vocals) and Queen Jotifah, Christine Christian and Lisa Phenix (adding deep-down soulful shoutin’ & hollerin’ on "What A Party") is a tremendous talent treat for anyone’s album, and on "Take Me With You" they groove beyond compare.
The title track, "Take Me With You" opens the disc and it’s got lots of modern New Orleans flavor to it with funky wah wah and a big riffing horn line. Very snappy and infectious stuff but it might give the wrong impression for what’s to come. (I’m assuming it’s Schermer who burns off the hot guitar solo at the end of "Take Me With You", but whoever it is, it’s killer and just a taste of things to come). "Give A Dog A Bone" is a dance-inducing shuffle that’s just perfect for the East Coast Shag Dance Scene and I dare you to keep still whilst diggin’ this one. Harp fans/players will go gaga over Santana’s reedy harp solo and I must say it sounds as though he’s a foot away from your ears, the sound quality is that clear and sharp. Very nice. "Let Yourself Go" is a real fine Southern Soul bouncer that is also guaranteed to fill Shag dance floors. Excellent horns and backup vocal chorus that’ll have you dancing in your chair. Oh my, this is FINE MUSIC! "Baby Come To Papa" is a Swamp Rocker featuring fat baritone sax played to burpin’ perfection by Peloquin. Your feet will be beatin’ a hole in the floor with this one. Damn, what an album. "So Many Ways" is a tasty love song with a distinct groove from June Core and understated guitar and again, classic 1960s horns. Santana shows his vocal chops on this one. This one reminds me of 1965 Duke Records stuff. "No Naggin’ No Draggin’" is of course the Arthur Gunter classic from Excello. Gunter and his brothers were the Kings of Hillbilly Blues and it don’t get any more ‘Down Home’ than this. Nice harp from Andy. Santana’s gonna bring smiles to a lot of old-timers’ faces with tunes like this. deLone delivers excellent Skippy Brooks-style piano. We then jump on a Junior Watson-fuelled Rocket Ship with "What A Party" and it’s total scorching mayhem as Junior shows why he’s the current King of West Coast Pickin’ on this Jessie Allen vintage rocker. Surprise! Santana tackles Bob Dylan’s "Ballad Of A Thin Man" and with the New Orleans-style arrangements it becomes a brand new song and one of the few times Dylan’s been upstaged on his own material. Classy, tasty and oh-so atmospheric thanks to that nice organ and Poole & Rinta’s Funeral March flourishes. "I Believe I’ll Give It Up" is burning West Coast Classic Blues, "Soul Shadows" is the old Jazz Crusaders number with Santana showing his good taste stretches across many genres and "Hot Spot" is a beautiful tune with excellent vocals and tasteful horns and deLone contributes B-3 organ that’s a treat to hear. Shaggers should love this one’s perfect tempo. Again, everything about the song is superb. "You’re The One" is a swingin’ number with a blast of a trombone solo, followed by a groovy Hammond workout. The CD closes off with a love song written by Santana, "Can’t Stop Thinkin’ Of You" and it’s a fine original with nice arrangements. I need to mention that bassist Eric Kleven died last summer in a car accident and the album is dedicated to his memory.
I guess I have no choice but to award this CD 5 Bottles of Thunderbird. It’s just too damn Hot and mayhem-inducing to give it any less. It’s also one of the finest West Coast Blues albums you’ll ever hear, thanks to the magnificent talents involved. Do yourself a big favor and grab this one right away.
