Tasty Blues


Tasty Blues is an album by blues musician Little Brother Montgomery recorded in 1960 and released on the Bluesville label early the following year.

Reception

reviewer Bill Dahl stated: "Here's a very attractive example of a pianist with roots dug deep in pre-war tradition updating his style just enough to sound contemporary for 1960.... Montgomery swoops through his seminal "Vicksburg Blues" and "No Special Rider" with enthusiasm and élan". The [Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings] comments that Lafayette Thomas's presence on the album sets it apart from other records by Montgomery.
