"David Vest is the real thing."

Product Description
David Vest and the Willing Victims are back with a vengeance on Serve Me Right To Shuffle. Recorded at Portland's Falcon Studios, the CD features "1948," a funky tribute to the victims of the Vanport Flood, which swept away an entire community once located between Portland and Vancouver, WA, at a time when "race was reality, and money was king."

When Alabama native David Vest invites you to "Shake tonight, in the old time way," he's coming from a long, deep journey in blues piano and American roots music. He grew up near the real Tuxedo Junction, played with Big Joe Turner in the '60s, and toured with Jimmy T99 Nelson, Floyd Dixon, and Lavelle White. Along the way he wrote the first songs ever recorded by country legend Tammy Wynette, played for a gospel quartet, backed Red Foley and became the first American artist ever to record an album in Romania.

After relocating to the Northwest, David was a founding member of The Cannonballs before signing on as a featured performer in the Paul deLay Band. Harmonica legend deLay does a guest turn here, as does guitar master Alan Hager, who also served as producer.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Blues with a Conscience, December 5, 2005 By  Jeffrey St Clair (Oregon City, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews    David Vest pounds the piano like Jerry Lee Lewis in his prime and writes lyrics that would make Dylan envious and George Bush furious. What more do you need to know? Oh yeah, Vest is surrounded by one of the tightest working band's around, featuring guitarists Alan Hager and Peter Dammon (one of the unsung heroes of contemporary blues) and harmonica titan Paul DeLay, who plays his arsenal of harps like he was possessed by the spirit of Little Walter. This music rocks hard, but that doesn't mean it's mindless (though there's nothing wrong with that, thank you Joey Ramone). Listen closely to the true tale told in "1948: Vanport Flood" and you'll learn a lot about race and the politics of disasters, an experience that is being repeated now in the birthplace of the blues, as developers and social engineers descend to captialize on the reconstruction and racial reconfiguration of the Gulf Coast in Katrina's Wake. If there's a better (or smarter) blues record released this year I haven't heard it.

If you like blues and blues with some hard rockin' and a whole lotta soul, you gotta get hooked up with David Vest's music. I only wish that you could SEE him play...that's half the fun. You CANNOT sit still, I "gaur-on-tee!" Share your thoughts with other customers:  › See all 2 customer reviews...		Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
