	Chris Thomas King
		Chris Thomas King is the son of respected Louisiana bluesman and club owner Tabby Thomas and thus was surrounded by music from a very young age.
		Thomas supported the record with tour dates in Europe and Texas, and afterwards he relocated to Austin, where he spent the next four years expanding his musical horizons and honing a more contemporary sound.
		During that period, Thomas caught on with the Hightone label, for whom he debuted in 1990 with the critically acclaimed Cry of the Prophets.

		King also continues to expand his dramatic career begun with "O Brother." He played the lead role and acted as musical director for the New Orleans stage production "Goodnight Irene: The Legacy of Leadbelly" and was cast as Blind Willie Johnson and as himself in the upcoming Martin Scorsese PBS production "The Blues."
		Born Chris Thomas in 1964 and raised in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, LA, he later added the stage name King in the time-honored fashion of both blues and hip-hop performers.
		King eventually returned to America and set up his 21st Century Blues studio and label in New Orleans, sensing it as a receptive home for his independent operations based on the success of such Dirty South hip-hop acts as OutKast, Mystikal and Juvenile.

		Thomas supported the record with tour dates in Europe and Texas, and afterwards he relocated to Austin, where he spent the next four years expanding his musical horizons and honing a more contemporary sound.
		All the exposure helped raise King's profile considerably and although he didn't completely stick to a more traditional approach for his next project, it was clear that his recent immersion in early blues was having an impact on his music.

	CD reviews: "Ten Days in November," "Red Mud," "Really Blue," "I'm Still Swingin'," "Sweet & Swingin'" and "Shadow of ...
		Not only is Thomas King back in the blues on "Red Mud," but he's in an all-acoustic setting, as basic as you can get (and as far from his soul-funk period as you can get, too).
		His past career decisions suggest that Thomas King was frustrated by his inability, as he said in a 1978 interview at Cliff Antone's club in Austin, to reach more of an audience, especially African-Americans his own age.
		But Thomas King's voice is in the blues, and now that (it appears) he's accepted his gift for what it is, he is playing the best music of his career.

	IDS: An inspired Chris Thomas King is revitalizing traditional blues (Weekend, 10/31/2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Chris Thomas King wants to bring the blues into the 21st century -- kicking and screaming, if necessary.
		King, whose father is noted bluesman Tabby Thomas, says the reaction is different in Europe, where fans don't try to pigeonhole him as a straight-on blues artist.
		King says the show gives audiences what he believes are two views of the blues -- the Muddy Waters band's traditional Chicago blues and his updated, modern take on the century-old genre, what he calls "21st-century blues." (King heads up his own record label of the same name.)

		Chris Thomas King, who played Tommy Johnson, a fictionalized composite of Tommy Johnson, Robert Johnson and Skip James, in the film O Brother, Where Art Thou, has devoted much of his recent music to an experimental fusion of blues and hip-hop music.
		However, here King pays tribute to those tore mentioned blues pioneers, as well as to Lead Belly, Son House and Blind Willie Johnson, with superb interpretations of some of their songs, as well as some of his own originals.

		He toured extensively with his father, Tabby Thomas, when he was a teenager and developed a strong foundation in the roots of the blues.
		After a couple of albums experimenting with a rap/blues hybrid, King has settled his style firmly in the acoustic blues tradition, a musical form that seems well suited to his abilities.
		The poignant "Like Father, Like Son," in which King explores his musical heritage, is a forceful example of his strengths as an artist.

		However, mainstream success did not materialize for Thomas and he took a musical left turn and began experimenting with his music by mixing elements of blues, rap and soul for several labels in the 90s.
		King also mixes rap with blues effectively on the Albert King classic "Born Under a Bad Sign," which also features some searing guitar and some impressive rapping from King.
		Chris Thomas King is truly a unique musician whose talents should only grow in the future and his new recording is definitely a worthwhile listen for those with adventurous musical tastes.

		Amazingly versed and accomplished as a guitarist, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, King, born in 1964 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is the beneficiary of a remarkable musical heritage.
		The benchmark revelation in King’s musical education occurred during his 1983 tour, witnessing the reverence that European audiences held for the blues as a greatly esteemed, indigenous music style and for the American blues artists who performed and interpreted it.
		Chris then added “King” to his name to honor B.B., Albert, and Freddie and took reflective regard for his hometown Delta roots, settling in and building his own recording studio.

		Both were critically acclaimed, although the latter was released despite objections by CTK.
		CTK has the knack of being able to write catchy tunes when the need arises.
		Although CTK has moved on in the intervening decade, what shines through from "A Young Man's Blues" are his ability to write good songs, sing, and lay down some tasty guitar.

		Bluegrass and traditional folk music fans will know Chris Thomas King from his role in O Brother, Where Art Thou, but blues fans already knew this skilled songwriter, singer and guitarist from his years on the blues festival circuit.
		Raised in a musical family steeped in blues tradition, Thomas King's first album from 1986 is reissued here, thanks to Chris Strachwitz of Arhoolie Records.
		While King has proven himself outside of New Orleans and grown immeasurably as an artist, with contracts with Private Music and other labels, and making the rounds on the festival circuit, this album has value as a document of where King was at, musically, in his teens.
