Poppa Chubby – Deliveries After Dark (Dixiefrog).
Poppa Chubby, aka Ted Horowitz, is from the Bronx and still lives in New York state today. His brand of New York City Blues is formed from many musical influences but what you get is exciting, raw music. He is not new to the business and as far back as 1995 was releasing albums produced by the likes of the legendary Tom Dowd. Since then he has continued to release independent albums and produce many other New York artists. Deliveries After Dark is the follow up to the acclaimed 2006 release, Electric Chubbyland and he opens with Let The Music Set You Free, a heavy blues based rocker with layer upon layer of guitar. He is some guitarist and from the picture on the front cover you wouldn’t want to mess with him. Sally Likes To Run is uncomplicated rock with all of the associated posturing. The eponymous title track is high octane rock in an AC/DC vein and he plays The Theme From The Godfather as you will have never heard it before. This is a festival of guitar from a true heavyweight exponent. Grown Man Crying Blues proves that Poppa can cut it in the blues as well with a strong guitar performance. He continues to surprise as he delivers a country song in the form of You Can’t Stop Love. The excellent slide guitar lifts the song to levels that it probably doesn’t really deserve to reach.
He returns to the blues with a bang and a screaming guitar. The sentiment may not be too pretty on I’ll Piss On Your Grave but it does reinforce his no messing style. I hope that it is a sound effect at the end!! Man Of The Blues is an average chugging blues and Money Isn’t Everything is 80s style rock. The latter is pleasant enough, with seamless guitar, and I’m warming to the big guy. 2nd Avenue Shuffle is a guitar based instrumental and highlights his good range but overall is not too inspired. You Never Loved Me is a standard rock ‘toon’ but certainly in the higher strata of that genre. Woman In My Bed is pseudo reggae but it is his high standard of playing that shines through, no matter what style he is playing. Oh Rock N Roll You Heartless Bitch is an acoustic finish in a Meat Loaf country rock style. There are two bonus video tracks at the end that allow you to savour the full Poppa Chubby experience. I’ll leave you with words from the man – “All I can tell you is you need rock and roll in your soul and I am the man in control. Are you ready to rock?”.
