The Beginning

Before he became known as Chris Thomas King for his acting roles in “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” and “Ray,” he was simply Chris Thomas, bluesman. Well aware of the blues musical traditions before him, he also pushes for his own interpretation. “I want to show that you can be young and play the blues in a current way.” He does so in this upbeat rock ʼn’ roll blues collection. This vinyl recording was released in 1986. The CD version was released as “It’s A Cold Ass World” (ARH09020) in 2001.
