The personal and musical journey of vocalist-harmonica player-songwriter Kurt Crandall has taken him from Maine to Virginia, Kansas City (where he recorded the 2004 CD TRUE STORY), Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle and now back to Virginia (Richmond). With a healthy inspiration from the brilliance of the late, great William Clarke, Crandall has established his own voice as a master of jump, jive, swing and deep blues, a purveyor of fat-toned, inventive and relentlessly swinging chromatic and diatonic harp, and a composer of originality, humor and keen powers of observation. Like Clarke, Crandall leavens the jazziness of his approach (including enough savvy musical quotations to punch his or any listener’s Hip Card) with the timeless and powerful grit of down home blues. Whether it’s solid 1950s Windy City blues grooves and ambience, jazz-inflected west coast swing, vocal harmonies and banter, or churning rock & roll, it’s all done with taste, class and easy prowess on GET WRONG WITH ME, with bounteous smiles and listening variety (but with coherence and continuity too) along the way. Crandall and cohorts have a lot to be proud of with GET WRONG WITH ME; no doubt even William Clarke is tapping his feet and nodding in approval from his current plane of residence.
