Otis Grand-Anson Funderburgh-Debbie Davies - Grand Union (1998)

► Get the album at the usual place...

Guitar XXXL
Three XL guitar slingers together in a studio do not necessarily deliver a XXXL album. At least for non guitar-junkies. For guitar addicts, “Grand Union” is probably an album to have in their records collection.

Fortunately for the first ones, the one-time trio had the good taste not to record pure instrumentals and to call in three good vocalists, Sugar Ray Norcia on six tracks (also on harmonica on two of the six), Brother Roy Oakley on two, and drummer Tony Coleman on two also, as well as some fine musicians like Ike Turner on piano for a couple of titles, or sax phenom Gordon Beadle on three numbers. Plus no less than two horn sections : the Buzz Horns and the Bee Horns.
