![]() Kim Wilson (from the album Take Me Back available on M.C. Records) With a dedication to Blues traditions as well as a keen understanding of moving the genre forward, Kim Wilson returns with his seventh solo album, Take Me Back. A longtime student of the Blues both in his solo work, guest spots, and fronting The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Kim Wilson goes beyond vintage in the sound of the album. Take Me Back bleeds Blues authenticity. The album opens on a Kim Wilson tune, “You’ve Been Goofin’”. The tracks penned by the Bluesman on Take Me Back mixing with cuts from Larry Williams and Chuck Nolan among other Blues and R&B gems mined from past decades. Kim’s history with recording has stayed true to analog and live performances. ON his new album stepping back to classic Blues albums, making Take Me Back a mono recording claiming ‘that’s what I love and that’s where I live’. His vocals and harmonica power the album, the harp sweet and high for a duet with electric guitar in “If It Ain’t Me” while it takes the lead on “No Place to Go”. Kim’s harp lines weave around the six-string work and piano rambles when he Blues boasts for a special lady in “I’m Sorry”, slows the pace to smolder for “Strange Things Happening” and exits the album on harp spits and snarls in “Out of the Frying Pan”.
