Our Take

GUS JENKINS is nothing short of a West Coast blues and R&B legend, and his latest album "Too Tough: West Coast Blues And R&B 1953-1963" is a testament to his enduring talent. This collection of tracks is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking listeners on a wild ride through Jenkins' unique blend of soulful ballads and toe-tapping rhythms.

From the infectious groove of "Too Tough" to the soulful strains of "I Can See Clearly Now", Jenkins showcases his versatility as a musician and songwriter. His raw, emotive vocals cut straight to the heart, while his guitar playing is nothing short of mesmerizing.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each track sounding crisp and clear. The arrangements are tight and well-executed, with every instrument coming together to create a cohesive and powerful sound.

One standout track is "Blue Monday", a haunting ballad that showcases Jenkins' songwriting prowess. The lyrics are poignant and introspective, painting a vivid picture of heartbreak and longing.

Overall, "Too Tough: West Coast Blues And R&B 1953-1963" is a must-listen for fans of the blues and R&B genres. Jenkins' timeless music is as relevant today as it was back in the 50s and 60s, and this album is a shining example of his extraordinary talent.
