Cebar, Paul -tomorrow Sound-
Fine Rude Thing
Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sounds latest, Fine Rude Thing, features Cebars unique mixture of R&B, Caribbean and New Orleans sounds. Cebar is a masterful synthesist of rhythmic culture: taking cues from the dance bands of western Louisiana (and his native Midwest), the streets (and 45s) of New Orleans, and the soul, funk & blues of his youth. At the core is gifted songwriting, and the company Paul keeps bears it out: Bonnie Raitt, Nick Lowe, Chris Smither, John Hiatt and Cesar Rosas are among his friends and admirers. Tomorrow Sound are an elite crew of offhand adepts: drummer Reggie Bordeaux; multi-instrumentalist Bob Jennings, on keys and reeds; percussionist Mac Perkins; and bassist Mike Fredrickson (a distinguished singer-songwriter in his own right).
