BLUES ROCK - DUTCH TILDERS - Same - 1972

Artista / Banda: Dutch Tilders

Álbum: Dutch Tilders  

Ano: 1972
Gênero: Blues Rock / Acoustic Blues

País: Austrália

Comentário: Matthew Tilders, mais conhecido como Dutch Tilders, foi um guitarrista nascido na Holanda, mas ainda jovem mudou-se com a família para Melbourne, onde construiu toda sua carreira na música. É dono de uma longa discografia, além de parceria e tours com grandes nomes do rock, como John Mayall, infelizmente vindo a falecer em 2011.

Este é seu debut, lançado pela Bootleg e que se mantem desconhecido por muitos. Tratam-se de 14 faixas curtas e com dois lados bastante distintos, na parte A são canções inspiradas pelo blues e boogie rock, incluindo versões de Arthur Crudup e Jimmy Reed, acompanhado por membros do grupo local Chain. Enquanto no lado B ouvimos um blues acústico e arrastado, executado todo pelo músico, na presença de sua guitarra e violão, novamente com grandes momentos.

Uma belíssima obra para fãs de blues, seja tradicional ou elétrico. Altamente recomendado!

Tilders’ debut solo album Dutch Tilders proved the man’s mastery of the blues form. One side featured Tilders playing Chicago electric blues with backing provided by members of Chain and the flip was just the man doing down-home Mississippi delta acoustic blues.

There are many fine moments across the man’s records but I particularly enjoy this self-titled debut. On the electric side you can tell it’s just a really relaxed session with Dutch and the guys from Chain doing what they know best. Nothing is overplayed (there are no searing blues-rock work-outs with screaming guitars) and Tilders’ vocal delivery is laconic yet spot-on. Phil Manning’s guitar work is always a joy to hear and while singer / songwriter Brian Cadd was enjoying his own successful solo career at the time, his boogie-woogie piano accompaniment is totally sympathetic to the cause and a real highlight.

Tilders matches his own composition ‘Chimney-Sweep Blues’ with covers of Arthur ‘Big Boy’ Crudup’s ‘That’s Alright Mama’, Jimmy Reed’s ‘Wee Wee Baby’ and Jimmie Cox’s ‘Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out’. Tilders’ affinity with the blues has never been fully examined to my knowledge; however he definitely knew his blues history.

On the acoustic side, the highlights include covers of ‘It Hurts Me Too’, ‘Kansas City Blues’, ‘In the Evening When the Sun Goes Down’ and Big Bill Broonzy’s ‘Southbound Train’ and ‘Keys to the Highway’. Aside from Tilders’ vocals and acoustic guitar (with a side order of slide) the only other musical accompaniment heard is Broderick Smith’s mouth organ on ‘Kansas City Blues’.
