Roy Gaines - I Got The T Bone Walker Blues
Review by Lynise Doctoroff
Roy Gaines' album, I Got The T Bone Walker Blues, is a tribute to the legendary blues guitarist T Bone Walker. The album features Gaines' unique style of playing, which blends traditional blues with jazz and swing.
The album starts with the title track, "I Got The T Bone Walker Blues," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. Gaines' guitar playing is exceptional, with his solos showcasing his technical prowess and his ability to convey emotion through his playing.
The album also features several covers of T Bone Walker's songs, including "Stormy Monday" and "Call It Stormy Monday." Gaines' versions of these songs pay homage to the original recordings while also showcasing his own style of playing.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "West Side Baby," which features Gaines' vocals in addition to his guitar playing. His soulful voice perfectly complements the bluesy guitar riffs, making for a truly memorable track.

- Notes:
- We are pleased to announce the availability of Groove Note releases in DSD 128 and DSD 256, in addition to the original DSD 64 releases. These higher bit rate DSD 128 and DSD 256 releases are all pure DSD created.
- They are not up samplings, for there are no PCM or DXD conversions involved in their production. They are re-modulations of the original DSD 64 encoding modulation that produced the DSD 64 releases. The sonic advantage to these new Stereo and Multichannel DSD 128 and DSD 256 releases, as with all higher DSD bit rate releases, is the wider frequency passband prior to the onset of modulation noise.This results in the listener’s DAC using gentler and more phase linear filters for playback of the music.
