Twelve months on from his last offering,
Fat Cat is the latest CD from Glasgow based singer songwriter Bob Leslie. As
well as featuring some of Glasgow’s finest session players Bob here enjoys the
support of his family, daughters Madeleine and Alice helping out with album
cover art and backing vocals respectively.
The musical styles on this CD range from
the ragtime feel of “One size don’t fit all” through the acoustic picking of “Suddenly
the sun” to the mid tempo slide guitar driven “It wasn’t down in Texas”.
The subject matter
moves from tall tales and lost love and “Kid with a gun” celebrates the life
and times of Louis Armstrong. I am reminded at times of the work of US singer
songwriter Bob Cheevers whose strapline “I don’t know if these stories are true
but they happened to me” could well apply here. No bad thing as far as I’m
concerned.
All in all a good
piece of work and you can get it, and more information, from www.bobleslie.biz
