CD Reviews

Fabulous Kim Wilson
Bergman Jonas | Sweden | 08/18/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I concur with the previous reviews of Kim Wilson's first live album. This is a tour-de-force, first class lesson in rhythm, swinging, rocking and blues. What sets it apart from anything else I have ever heard on CD with Kim, is the tremendous ensemble playing, where clearly all components make up for excellent listens. Make no doubt, Kim is clearly leading the proceedings, showing what a great musician he is in knowing what to play and when. The guitarists make a perfect foil for Kim's vocals and harmonica, I have never heard such terrific backing and soloing on any modern recording I can recall. You would have to go back to the days of Little Walter and the Myers brothers. What has been known to all people that have seen Kim live, is now recorded in splendid format, with near 74 mins of the best blues has to offer. The sheer joy and mutual understanding of various blues forms is simply unmatched. This CD should be heard by more people than blues-fanatics! This is a classic."
Kim's back!

"I'm a blues harp player and I basically like everything Kim Wilson does, and this is no exception. His band's rhythm section with Ralph Innes and Larry Taylor- swings like there's no tomorrow, especially on "Oh Baby" and "I Stay In The Mood". His harmonica prowess is all over, but highlighted on the title cut. His rendition of "Early In The Morning" invokes the Sonny Boy sound with utter ease. And his R&B side, a favorite for Thunderbirds fans, comes out in his stylistic singing and killer vocals on "I Can Tell". I do truly recommend this album to any Kim Wilson fan, or blues harp fan for that matter! You can't go wrong."
A Solid Effort, But Not His Best

"Kim Wilson's Smoking Joint is avarage of his ability. I like the record and I believe it to be a solid effort,but for some reason the record seems bland and uninspired. I have seen the T-Birds live a few years back, and have heard kim Wilson on the Jimmy Roger's album "Ludella" (This album is what I recommend for some serious Kim Wilson harp playing), but this album lacks that magic which we know of Kim Wilson. This is a good record though, and shouldn't be dismissed. Its a good effort overall, but not Kim's best."
