Nick Curran"s career has been on a meteoric rise since the release of his Blind Pig Records debut, Doctor Velvet, winner of the 2004 W.C. Handy Award for "Best New Artist Debut". He"s an original new talent who has captured a golden musical moment in time and made it his own. On Player! Nick returns with another superb package of skillfully blended vintage R&B, outrageous jump blues, and down-and-dirty garage rock. With the sophistication of T-Bone Walker and the abandon of Little Richard, Curran infuses each track with urgency and exuberance. Special guests include Fabulous Thunderbird Kim Wilson and The Providence Horns.
