The Butanes

Willie Walker and the Butanes' second collaboration contains 13 original tracks featuring 4 horns, lady background singers and real Hammond organ.

Soul like it used to be done, one part church, one part barbecue, one part groove-dripping sweat.

Mike Elias - Electric Fetus Weekly E-Mailer

Willie Walker and the Butanes record 14 original compositions that sound like they could have been from an unreleased Goldwax records session. A horn section and female chorus join with Willie's exceptional vocals on this new recording of the year contender.

It's the kind of album the worst nit-picker can't find one thing wrong with. Except that eventually it's over.

Insight

The Butanes are joined by Jim Greenwell on saxophone and Mike Nelson on trombone during two performances (one during the day, one at night) at the Cabooze bar in Minneapolis.

a reminder of what blues used to sound like...

Chord

The muscular ten piece Soul Revue (the Butanes plus three additional vocalists and three horns) plays twelve soulful songs, including one original, "Without You," live at the Cabooze bar.
