The Big John Russell Band's album, A Tribute to Fats, is a delightful homage to the legendary musician Fats Domino. The band does an excellent job of capturing the spirit of Fats' music and infusing it with their own unique style. The album features a collection of Fats' greatest hits, including "Blueberry Hill," "Ain't That a Shame," and "I'm Walkin'," all of which are performed with energy and enthusiasm.
Big John Russell's vocals are particularly impressive, as he effortlessly channels Fats' distinctive style while still putting his own spin on the songs. The band's instrumentation is also top-notch, with lively piano, guitar, and saxophone solos that perfectly capture the upbeat, feel-good vibe of Fats' music.
