Album Notes

True Blues is a three-piece rockin' blues band that began performing in the Greenville, SC area in 1990. The band features its strong original tunes, which are written primarily by guitarist/vocalist Joey Gunter and drummer
Joe Cash. Bassist Pete Cash lays down the bottom for this powerful trio. A favorite at local festivals and events,
the band has been tagged "Greenville's House Band" by the owner of Greenville's most popular music venue, The Handlebar.

The band members' influences cover a broad spectrum of American music. One can hear hints of jazz, rock, soul, funk, and raw Delta blues in their playing styles. A typical set at a live True Blues performance would include a healthy dose of originals mixed with covers by Stevie Ray Vaughan, B B King, The Allman Brothers Band, Cream, and Duke Robillard. Over the years, the band has had the good fortune to open shows for such well-known artists as
Johnny Winter, Savoy Brown, Delbert McClinton, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Three Dog Night, The Marshall Tucker Band,
Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Koko Taylor, John Hammond, and The Guess Who.

True Blues' first CD, "One Night Only", was recorded live on a hot Saturday night in 1998 before an enthusiastic audience. The twelve original songs released on this disc were only part of a three-set show that kept a sellout crowd swinging, swaying, and singing along until well after
midnight. From start to finish, this recording will have your feet tapping and your mind's eye focused on the lyrical artistry of these crafty performers.
