Don't Fight It

Don't Fight It is the new blues album by Tom Rigney and Flambeau. The disc is a follow-up to Rigney's critically-acclaimed 2009 release, "Back Porch Blues", which climbed all the way to the Number One slot on XM/Sirius Satellite Radio's Bluesville Chart: B.B. King's Top 15 Blues Picks to Click. The new CD is an eclectic collection of songs and instrumental pieces, most of them Rigney originals, that cover a wide range of blues styles, from straight-ahead Chicago blues, to swamp blues, to Memphis-style R&B, to Boogie Woogie, to several of Rigney's signature violin compositions. Included in the mix are a few classics - Little Walter's "Just Your Fool", Hank Ballard's "Teardrops on Your Letter", and Jimmie Rodgers' "California Blues".
