Garth Webber - Get A Grip On The Blues (1991) Losslesss

For many years Garth Webber had been playing around the SF Bay area impressing all who heard his amazing modern blues guitar work. In 1988 he recorded a release with the Ford Blues Band and began touring internationally with them. Now the fan base really began to swell and soon he was being asked to work with major artists and began touring with the likes of Miles Davis and Bill Champlin.

On this his first solo release he really showcases all his talents. He is not only a monster guitar player but also a great singer and song writer. While most of the songs on this release are originals Garth also chose to include a few of his favorite blues classics. "40 Days And 40 Nights" and "Little Red Rooster" also acknowledge Garth's appreciation of his mentor Robben Ford as both were songs Robben loved to perform.

This recording is both powerful and joyful and assures it's listener a really good time.
