Ian Thomas
Live at Rockwood Music Hall
Iâve seen Ian Thomas live several times and I donât say it
lightly when I proclaim that one of those performances was
the most powerful and awe inspiring sets I have ever seen in
my life. That was live and in person however, and itâs hard
to capture something like that on a CD even if itâs a live
recording. This recording from Rockwood Music Hall gives
you a glimpse of what Iâm talking about. If you have grown
accustomed to how some of his songs sounded on his first
release âA Young Manâs Bluesâ then you will be surprised
(perhaps pleasantly, perhaps not) to find him playing some
of those older songs a bit differently. Itâs not that theyâre not necessarily as good versions, theyâre just different, and not necessarily better.
If you have never heard of Ian Thomas before then this CD will floor you regardless. Some may call Thomasâs music a throw back, but that is near sighted and unjust. He is first off perhaps the best young songwriter in or out of New York. His guitar playing is so masterful it comes off sounding like two people playing at the same time. In fact when I first heard him on CD I was almost convinced that he double tracked some guitar parts; later when I saw him live I understood just how good he was.
On this recording he showcases all that and his ability to rip the reeds off a harmonica; not to mention he can also play a mean kazoo. Thomas takes the melodies and sensibility of timeless American folk and blues and brings them barreling into the 21st century. On songs like âLonesome Blue Oceanâ and âHalfway Goneâ he captures love lost as well as anyone can. His voice on tracks like âOpen Letter To A Loverâ and âAinât Gonna Dredgeâ can send a chill up your spine. There is something about the delivery of these songs that gives you the feeling that he is not simply singing them to you so much as he is revealing some secret gospel. Donât get me wrong though, Thomas can also throw down some powerful stoppers that make you wanna get up, clear the floor and start a f***ing hoe down.
