Night Train to Nashville :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
Following the release of "Brother to the Blues" in the spring of 2006, the Blues Foundation convened in Memphis on May 10, 2007, for their annual Blues Music Awards ceremony and honored guitarist Tab Benoit with the dual awards of B.B. King Entertainer of the Year and Best Contemporary Male Performer of 2006.

For anyone who saw Benoit play a two-night stand in Nashville at The Place On Second Street just prior to the 2007 Blues Music Awards ceremony, the reasons for the accolades were crystal clear. Backed by Louisiana's LeRoux and a handful of high-profile guest performers representing a range of roots music styles, Benoit reaffirmed his reputation as a force to be reckoned with on the blues landscape in ways that no trophy ever could.

Tab's lastest

2008-08-03
I stumbled across Tab in the early 90's. I was taken by his unique voice and guitar style. The first cd I purchased was Nice & Warm. Every new cd gets better. He also plays drums for fun, and pretty good at that. If you get a chance, catch him live. You won't regret it.

Every song GREAT!

Following the release of "Brother to the Blues" in the spring of 2006, the Blues Foundation convened in Memphis on May 10, 2007, for their annual Blues Music Awards ceremony and honored guitarist Tab Benoit with the dual awards of B.B. King Entertainer of the Year and Best Contemporary Male Performer of 2006.

For the millions of fans unable to witness this electrifying performance first-hand, "Night Train To Nashville," Benoit's sixth solo release on Telarc, is the next best thing. The 11-track live recording, set for April 22, 2008, captures the magic and intensity of Benoit in a live setting, joined by his faithful backup unit and New Orleans mainstay, Louisiana's LeRoux, and a series of guests representing some of the most talented voices on the current blues, Cajun and country scenes: harpist/vocalist Jimmy Hall (Wet Willie), guitarist/vocalist Jim Lauderdale, harpist/accordionist Johnny Sansone, fiddler/washboard player Waylon Thibodeaux and harpist/vocalist and Fabulous Thunderbirds frontman Kim Wilson.

FANTASTIC PERFORMER 2008-07-20
I had never heard much of Tab Benoit until I attended the Jazz & Blues Festival in Sioux Falls this weekend. What an outstanding performer! His style of guitar playing & vocals is something to see and I can see why he is in demand at blues & jazz fests. If you want rockn blues, he's got it, if you want bayou blues, he's got that to and everything else in between. WOW! This is a great CD! If you ever get the chance to take in his show...please do so. I got to see him perform along with Joyce Cooling & Taj Mahal....It don't get any better then that!!!!

True blues 2008-06-27
I could not believe I had never heard of this guy! Caught a cut off the new release from a radio stream out of Black Mountain, NC. He offers the true blues package... great band, great guitar playing and the voice. Great CD!

Great blues and R&B from a super guitar slinger with excellent backup and guests. A great listen.

great live album from a great guitarist 2008-06-08
This is a great live album. There are some great guests lending their talents. This would be a good album to check out if you haven't heard a lot of Tab Benoit's music, but are interested.
