Blame Me

Description

Ty Curtis is back with a down and gritty new record called Blame Me . Ty s newest album is packed with soul, blues and ripping guitar riffs which will blow your mind from this young 29 year old triple threat musican. Blame Me features some of the most heart-felt, emotion tugging vocals to come out of Ty in several years. The album opens with That Good, an old school rock number that showcases Ty s soulful vocals and over-the-top guitar playing. That Good rolls right into the title track, Blame Me which was also the first single from the record. Blame Me is a hard rocking track about relationship woes. Ty s soulful rock vocals, reminiscent of Paul Rodgers reign supreme and stand out above everything else. Back Again shows off Ty s killer guitar work and a funky bass line played my Tony Valdez. He shifts gears on the slower more soulful I Can Say, but still has those electric guitar moments interspersed at times occurring like exclamation points at key moments in the song.Some other moments of note include, Shake It Up, which builds gradually in to a louder, blues rock track with the electric guitar having its own voice. Urge and Temptation is a roots reggae rocker with great vocal moments as well. Blame Me closes with the old school soul of Never Get My Love. This is hands down Ty s best performance on the entire record. It s one of the those rare productions with a great dance groove and down right mean guitar work. The overall production is what you would expect from a blues man. It s tight and punchy. Longtime drummer, Jerry Jacques, and bassist, Tony Valdez, drive Ty s performance, like a jockey on the final lap of the Kentucky Derby. Blame Me is an impressive set of burning blues rock tracks with very tasteful southern rock overtones. It is an great addition to any blues rocker s collection.

A previous review and video clips can be found here in support of this, and the other albums I listen to all confirm the talent. This latest digital release is a fine contribution to his sustained output, a maturing perhaps in the vocal. In my review of Water Under the Bridge I did refer to his pop-blues sound and I recall a fan taking umbrage with the term on Curtis Facebook site where the review was posted, pleasingly. Always delighted for someone to respond, even if having the ump, but I still think the melodic element to his rockblues oeuvre is Curtis great strength. The opening three tracks on this latest are generic guitar rock [and pumped-up organ on second, title track Blame Me] and this is delivered with skill and punch. Good stuff, as ever. To this listener, it is in the sweet rhythmic guitar sequences that Curtis stamps his authority. Fourth I Can Say is an upbeat soulful song that builds melodically around its funky rhythms, solo stabs enlivening. Next Heaven Save Me is a blues ballad that exudes its self-reflection with honest-sounding emotion the organ swirls wrapping it in lamentation and the guitar solos are poignant in their restraint. This is a longing, late-night narrative. Sixth Shake It Up continues the more melodic groove, some tight vocal harmonising in the chorus, and these three are a core for the sound I personally prefer not to in any way negate the power of the rest. As with all good music, listening and response is as much about the mood in the hearing as that in the musician s intention and creation: because the desire and engagement is there, from both merging parts. There s a reggae surge in seventh Urge and Temptation, and then with ninth Who Are You we are returned to another super-sweet ballad, vocal harmonies here with a West Coast softness. The mellowed guitar and organ, with Curtis vocal at its emotive best, combine to layer this with more of that honest-sounding feeling. Closer Never Get My Love has a simple but sweet-again descending chord sequence before the off-beat rhythm pulses above this, the pace quickened at the album s end, suitably, with Carmelo Torres percussive riff adding extra quality. --somediurnalauralawe New album by guitarist and songwriter TY CURTIS! "Blame Me" offers a sophisticated mix of bluesy rock and soulful vocals - the musician from Oregon is already a few years on the road in the scene, has published several good albums, from the fourth studio album "Ty Curtis" we present you this week the song "I know" before.
