Clarence Gatemouth Brown The Man Verve/Gitanes Jazz 523 761-2 CD (France) 1994 One of the surest ways to get Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown riled is to call him a bluesman. Sure, he plays the blues, ain't no doubt about it. Gate is indeed the foremost living exponent of the modern urban Texas guitar blues tradition established by his mentor T-Bone Walker and carried on by the likes of Johnny Clyde Copeland, Albert Collins, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Wayne Bennet and Freddie King. But that single category only beings to scratch the surface of what this multi-faceted musician can do.To really get the lowdown on Gate, you gotta catch him live. Watch him stalk the stage in his black cowboy hat and matching boots, nimbly switching gears from song to song. he may start with a Louis Jordan jump blues then dig into a stone country and western ballad before tackling Duke Ellington's "Take The A Train", all without dropping a beat. He'll turn out an authentic zydeco two-stepper, rock the house with a Bill Dogget boogie, thrown down a painfully slow blues then pick up the fiddle for a Hee Haw -styled breakdown. It takes more than just a bluesman to cover all those bases, and Gatemouth Brown does it all with an unrelenting sense of humor, grace and soul. And nobody does it better. Truly, he's THE MAN.
