RHYTHMS MAGAZINE CD REVIEW

Longtime blues devotee Andrew Swann's
impressive CV boasts extensive experience
playing with household names at home
and abroad from the realms of blues, iazz;
rock and pop. Over many years touring
worldwide, Swann's broad versatility as
a drummer has been well established. A
onetime music student at the Victorian
College of the Arts, Swann is also a
composer who plays piano, guitar and
harmonica. Southside Blues, as well as
demonstrating his proficiency on the latter
two instruments, exhibits Swann's
competent vocal abilities across a range
of traditional blues and gospel selections.
With a voice resembling that of Randy
Newman, he performs three original tunes
and ten others in a country blues format
aided sparsely by piano, bass, drums and
percussion backing.
A raw, no-frills project, this three-quarter hour
recording made at Preston Studios in
Melbourne avoids overdubs and technical
embellishments retaining an authentic air
consistent with its vintage material. Three
songs - the lazy 'Automobile' and 'Katie
May' and the upbeat 'Fan lt'- are sourced
from Lightnin' Hopkins, obviously a major
inspiration. Among others derived from
Jimmy McCracklin, JimmyWitherspoon and
Blind Willie Johnson sit uncluttered takes
on Bob Dylan 'lt Takes a Lot To Laugh,
It Takes a Train to Cry' and Willie Dixon's
'Wang Dang Doodle'. Inserting occasional
lead fills, Swann plays a steady acoustic
rhythm guitar largely devoid of
fundamental riff-based structures. His
electric guitar - in distortion mode adding
grit to 'Move Me' and in a smooth-toned
setting for 'Bleedin' Heart'- evokes a
sound reminiscent of Sam Phillips' early
'5os Sun Studio waxings. Swann plans a
second Southside Blues instalment where
he will explore the domain of city blues.
Based on this exercise, it too should be a
CD worth a listen.
