Benny Guitar Carr & Hot Rats (UK)
Red Hot
©Ben Carr 2007
If Tom Waits mother had got together with Howlin' Wolf - you'd probably end up with Ben Carr ! When he and the Hot Rats hit the Voodoo Lounge in Exeter, they unfailingly tear the place apart with the kind of rip roaring rambunctious show that has mothers clutching their daughters and old men chasing their mothers. A true original who takes no prisoners every time he plays, the Hot Rats have got the most pulverising original sound I've heard this year.....
The Hot Rats are a crazy little band from Kingsbridge, Devon with a taste for electric blues and roots music. They deliver their own fresh hard hitting sounds with big funky grooves and infectious walking bass lines, punctuated by Ben's soulful vocals and electrifying guitar leads. No matter where you come from, no matter what the weather The Hot Rats will get you up and dancing and going crazy to their infectious music.
The band is made up of three brothers; singer/songwriter/guitarist Ben Carr, funky walking bass player Tom Carr and drummer and percussionist Jimbo Carr. Besides being a very powerful 3 piece the guys are often joined by guest musicians on sax, trumpet, harmonica or guitar.
This CD was produced by ace UK blues guitarist and vocalist Vince Lee, who also guests on several tracks!
