Congratulations to Fathead - 2008 Juno Award winners for "Blues Album Of The Year"! 
It's been 10 years since the band won their last Juno - "Blues Recording Of The Year" for Blues Weather; and Fathead now return to the winner's circle with their 2nd Juno Award on the strength of Building Full Of Blues, (Electro-Fi Records). Highlights abound on the eclectic "Building" that typifies all things Fathead: solid grooves, soul drenched melodies, ace musicianship, and compelling true-to-life songwriting.
Here are the facts:
Building Full Of Blues (Electro-Fi 3402)
Produced By: Fathead & Tom Jardin
The CD is available at: Fine record stores
everywhere
the Festival web site www.festival.bc.ca
the Fathead web site www.fathead.biz
Fathead are: John Mays- lead vocals
Al Lerman - harp, tenor sax, vocals
Darren Poole - guitar, vocals
Omar Tunnoch - bass, vocals
Bucky Berger - drums, percussion
Three outstanding tracks from Building Full Of
Blues:
Track One - "Jelly Fish Blues"
(Tunnoch-Lerman) 3:46
- a playful "go with the flow" tune that features trademark Fathead groove
changes as John Mays relates "...this jellyfish is happy all the time"
Track Three - "What About Me?" (Tunnoch) 3:29
- a Mays and guest Shakura S'Aida duet on a hook laden old school R&B
number with a truly soothing solo by Darren Poole layering slide over Omar
Tunnoch's fretless bass
Track Twelve - "Building Full Of Blues" (Tunnoch)
5:17
- a chugging acoustic guitar intro kicks off the title track - a slum
landlord lament that ends as a tale of a homeowner's misery; powered by some
assertive fat toned harp from Al Lerman
