Chris Ruest & Gene Taylor - It's Too Late Now

With a stripped down line-up, Chris Ruest and Gene Taylor get the gig poppin' on "It's Too Late Now". Over the last five decades, the piano player and singer Gene Taylor has performed or recorded with a who’s who of music legends, from Rick Nelson and Doug Sahm to Lowell Fulson, Big Joe Turner, and The Red Devils. "It’s Too Late Now" was born after Taylor relocated to Austin, TX, (from Belgium) and began to work with Ruest. The set covers a wide range of blues history, while the musicianship throughout is subtle, stinging, and superb. Brian Fahey paces every track perfectly. This CD hits all the essential points, it’s perfectly recorded and its fine, often dark, original songs actually sound original.
