Whiskey Store

Two Louisiana blues guitarists—Tab Benoit and Jimmy Thackery—trade scorching leads across eleven tracks of Modern Electric Blues on this 2002 Telarc Blues release. Recorded for the storied label known for pristine blues documentation, Whiskey Store captures the raw interplay between two distinctly regional approaches: Benoit’s swamp-blues grit and Thackery’s Chesapeake-influenced phrasing collide in real time, creating something neither could achieve alone.
