Slappin (feat. Adrian Quesada)

#163 in the Need To Know Badass Blues Instrumental Series, Slappin, features Black Pumas guitarist/ producer Adrian Quesada. This is yet another example of cats from Texas that just have it. If you haven't heard the psychedelic soul sound of Black Pumas, you really gotta check out their 2019 eponymous release. These cats made a record and four months later were getting Grammy nominations, TV placements, and high-profile gigs. Like I said, some cats just have it. So grateful that Adrian found time to share some of it on this track. Enjoy! 

The backing band on this track is Rich Kirch (John Lee Hooker 1984-2001) and Les Izmore on the stereophonic rhythm guitars, Willy Jordan (Elvin Bishop) on drums, and myself on bass. Recorded at Skunkworks in Capitola CA. Mellifluously mixed and mastered by the infamous F-Bomb.
