BLUES MATTERS REVIEW

FROG
..
With a name like Claude Bourbon, your mind strays perhaps to Louisiana, but this packed double CD set was recorded in Southsea. CD1 is a showcase for Claude’s guitar playing skills and, make no mistake, they are considerable.
Instrumentally, there’s a variety of guitar styles here, from the opening “Medieval” and the Andalusia flavours of “Echo” yet track so “A Light In The Night” immediately puts one in mind of Ry Cooder’s “Paris, Texas”. If this collection just included Bourbon’s guitar playing, it would be well worth having for its mesmeric quality.
But on CD2 he accompanies himself singing nine songs, which perfectly match the rolling meditative mood of the first CD. It’s all like a more nimble-fingered version of JJ Cale, so it’s no surprise to discover a Cale song included “Sensitive Kind”. So here we have another fine example of the prodigious talent which is treading the boards in UK clubs. That said, if you see his name flagged up in your area, go along – based on this set you could be in for a very entertaining night...
I love this cd. It's a great Album. The record is soft and cool with plenty
of melodies, played with incredible perfection. The music takes you wherever
it wants, it's that beautiful and timeless. Played by virtuosos in a laid-back,
easy style. Fresh music that I would like to hear more often, a music in
which each instrument shines like the sun.
Claude Bourbon is a warm singer and excellent guitarist.

Claude Bourbon - finger-picking guitar & Song
Romantic medieval & Spanish blues...
"A breathtaking acoustic fusion of blues, jazz, folk, classical and Spanish guitar from a stunning guitar virtuoso" - Altadena News, USA
Claude Bourbon, who trained for many years in Switzerland and has performed and studied all over the world, has crafted an inspired fusion of classical and blues, with ethereal Eastern influences, Spanish and Latin elements with strains of Western folk.
This accomplished artist offers tender, compelling performance through highly developed precision. His sound instantly creates ambiance, from haunting Spanish moods to lyrical, romantic jazz, Claude Bourbon provides a real treat for music lovers.
The unique Monsieur Bourbon is a formidable performer. He may have his roots in the blues, but he is inspired by music and song from all around the world, taking these sounds and weaving them into a performance of blues, rock, jazz, songs and melodies that defy a label, all delivered with a gravely voice.
