From the Album: The Rhett Yocom Blues Band, Year of Release: 2018#bluesrock #blues #rock Lyrics: Big Legged Woman A band dedicated to bringing you the best in Blues. Some old, some new, some sweet, some psychedelic. For guitarist, bassist, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Rhett Yocom, his love for the Blues and passion for music is a tale of many stories all sharing common threads of camaraderie, generosity, and a firm belief that with a guitar by your side you will never be alone because it has the magic to lift one out of life's low points and make the high points sparkle and shine. As the recipient at this year’s 36th REVIEW Music Awards for the honors of Best Blues Instrumentalist and Best Blues Band for the third time in a row, having also received the Best Band trophy in 2019 and 2021, Yocom says he first got interested in music as a young kid. “I hung out with my Grandpa a lot who was a gifted accordion player, and my first instruments were piano and accordion,” he explains. “I listened to Motown and the Everly Brothers and grew up with Classic Country, which was called ‘Outlaw’ country back then - artists like Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings.” As for future plans, Rhett says he’s looking to do another album with the band this fall. “Scotty Causley has a unique style of drumming and is a legend on his own in this region; and Gypsy James is not only a nice person but harmonically rich bass player,” states Rhett. “ A lot of bass players can rock, but for me it’s the harmonics that opens things up. He covers more than lines and pulls chords into his playing on the bass, which gives me more room to move harmonically. He opens the door. As for my keyboardist Denny Fisk, he’s played with a large number of people and growing up he’s the first person I heard the Blues from besides Larry McCray, and turned me on to artists like Johnny and Edgar Winter, who I feel people forget about and are incredibly underrated.” You can download the music : VIDEO COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER: Video is made for entertainment purposes only and you can download this track on any authorized website such as, iTunes and ...
