Product Description
(2005 'Movinmusic')(56:57/08) 'Recorded live at the Kwadendamme Blues Festival, Holland - May 14, 2005' - Mit seinem explosiven Gemisch aus mächtigem, texanischen Gitarrenblues, einem Schuss Zydeco und Soul/Blues sowie ein wenig Funk - und das alles gepaart mit seiner Vorliebe für eine rockige Spielweise - ist Sherman Robertson der legitime Nachfolger seines texanischen Kollegen Albert Collins. Sherman wurde in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana geboren und wuchs in Houston, Texas auf. Als junger Musiker spielte er in den sechziger Jahren bereits mit Superstar Bobby 'Blue' Bland und Junior Parker, bevor er seine eigene Band, die Crosstown Blues Band, gründete und erste Aufnahmen machte. Es folgten fünf Jahre in der berühmten Zydeco-Formation von Clifton Chenier. Als Paul Simon für sein millionenfach verkauftes 'Graceland'-Album einen Gitarristen suchte, viel die Wahl auf Sherman Robertson. Nun wurde Produzent Mike Vernon (John Mayall, Freddie King, Fleetwood Mac) auf ihn aufmerksam und produzierte 1993 'I'm The Man' für Atlantic, gefolgt von 'Here And Now'. 1998 schließlich nahm er für das kleine Audioquest-Label 'Going Back Home' auf - und verabschiedete sich für mehrere Jahre von der internationalen Szene. Das Festivalangebot einer britischen Agentur führte schließlich in Europa zur regelmäßigen Zusammenarbeit mit BluesMove, einer hervorragend eingespielten Formation. Im Frühjahr 2005 war es dann soweit. Ein fulminantes Konzert in Holland wurde mitgeschnitten und liegt als CD vor. 'Guitar Man' ist dabei weniger ein Comeback-Album als vielmehr der Beleg für das wiederentfachte Feuer im Spiel des Musikers Sherman Robertson. Seit den achtziger Jahren und dem grandiosen Comeback von Albert Collins und dem kometenhaften Aufstieg des jungen Robert Cray hat die Blueswelt nichts Vergleichbares erlebt. Er überzeugt als Sänger und begeistert als Gitarrist: Sherman Robertson spielt den Blues mit Leidenschaft und Überzeugung

Sherman Robertson initially learned his craft from the great Albert Collins (the original big dog). When the latter caught him spying on rehersals through a knot hole at the tender age of 13 he insisted that the boy come back later that day for a lesson. Albert must have seen the inherent qualities in Sherman, because he continued those lessons and told Sherman that one day he could be a big dog too. That time has certainly arrived now and on this CD you can hear echoes of Albert as well as Sherman's other influences, the orginal blues greats - the 3 Kings. The sheer forcefulness of his presence on stage to some extent belies the sophistication of his playing, but over all of that there is the man's voice. What a great blues voice!
You really need to experience the Serminator live if you can to understand what his take on the blues is all about, and I urge you to do so if you get the chance. For those that cannot, this is the next best thing - a great live recording of the man himself in action.

Plenty of Sherman playing guitar, which is always a good thing. The sound is very 'live' but it's still no substitute for being at one of his gigs.
