ANDY T - NICK NIXON BAND "DRINK DRANK DRUNK"
FEATURING ANSON FUNDERBURGH
Like many kids growing up in the '60s and '70s, the first blues Andy Talamantez
heard as a teenager was British blues and he fell under the spell of
Eric Clapton. But he rapidly traced the music from there, assimilating
elements of the vocabularies of B.B. King, T-Bone Walker, Albert
Collins, Muddy Waters, Otis Rush, Magic Sam and others until striking
out on his own. He performed in various bands around Southern California
until 1996, when Los Angeles-based blues legend Smokey Wilson
practically plucked him off the stage for his first tour. It was at this
time that Andy abbreviated his given name to the stage-friendlier Andy T.
In 1998 Andy also began playing with Guitar Shorty, a Houston native
known for his blistering six-string attack and on-stage acrobatics.
During his 7 years on the road with Smokey and Shorty, Andy learned how to back up
a vocalist with economy and perfection as he honed his own playing
style, developing a clean, mile-wide tone that cuts to the essence of
every song he plays with absolute precision.
James "Nick" Nixon's musical education began in
his native Nashville, singing in church as a boy. He began performing
opera after his high school music teacher heard the rich resonant tones
that seem to naturally leap from his throat. His first working band was
King James and the Sceptres, a rock 'n' roll outfit with Nick in the
royal role. After the Sceptres, Nick took the helm of NTS Limited, with
Billy Cox on bass, but his scrape with the big time came in 1974 when
his group Past, Present and Future signed with Chess Records and
released the single "Behind Closed Doors"/"Let's Boogie." Nick formed
another band, the New Imperials, and continued to tour nationally, but
eventually he took a job
teaching music for Nashville's Parks and Recreation Department. He kept
that position for 35 years — earning the Blues Foundation's prestigious
"Keeping the Blues Alive" award for education — while still
occasionally touring the U.S. and Europe, but mostly remaining one of
Nashville's best-kept and highly revered musical secrets.
Produced by renowned Lone Star State blues guitarist Anson Funderburgh, the duo's brand new debut "Drink Drank Drunk"
is an old-school barn-burner; the kind of disc that blows the dust —
and the doors — off the Texas, Chicago, Louisiana, West Coast and deep
soul traditions with a vital song-oriented approach rare in the blues
today. It was originally planned as Andy T's long overdue solo debut, but the more the guitarist collaborated with Nick Nixon
on stage, the more he heard Nick's powerhouse voice in his head,
singing the tunes Andy was writing and culling for the studio. "For me,
this album is really about where Nick and me are today as artists," says
Andy. "We've both had a lot of experiences and influences, and drawn a
bead on the music we love and how we love to perform it in a way that
gets to the bottom of what the blues is all about."
"Andy was a great musician when we
started and I think he's an even better player now. His dedication to
the music that he loves is unstoppable…And Nick is one of the greatest
singers in blues today. When people hear his voice, they are moved."
– Anson Funderburgh
"Andy T Band, featuring James "Nick" Nixon is one of those amazing artists that rarely surface today."
– Bman's Blues Report
"Nick and Andy T are both world class performers with a show that offers something for everyone."
