Vanesse Thomas (from the album Stories in Blue available on Overton Music) (by Danny McCloskey)
It is a simple question that Vanesse Thomas asks on the opening cut to Stories in Blue, her latest release. Entering on a powerful beat, Vanesse Thomas poses “Do Y’All”, pondering as she teaches a history lesson that shouts out exactly where the Blues was born. A deep rumble brings up a more personal query when Stories in Blue describes “The Last Thing on My Mind” as the album seeks salvation on vocal harmonies and handclaps marching towards the “End of the Road” while Vanesse Thomas boards a solid backbeat to recall “When You Were My Man” and reaches “7 Miles from Home” on a front porch Folk jam.
A member of Memphis musical royalty, Vanesse Thomas is the daughter of Rufus Thomas, younger sibling to Carla Thomas and keyboard legend Marcel Thomas. Stories in Blue continues the tradition of excellence that is the Thomas Family brand. Turning the calendar back to “1917”, Vanesse Thomas sings the glory of a pioneering musician as she is accented by Dixieland horns. A smooth sway wraps around “Wandering” immediately; Vanesse Thomas pushing forward through mental anguish. A natural vocal talent through bloodlines and a passion for Blue Soul is the sound that Vanesse Thomas brings to Stories in Blue. (by Danny McCloskey)
