Bluebirds – Whiskey's Thicker'n Water / Testin' The Water Label: Sooto Records – SR-4504 Format: Vinyl, 7", 45 RPM, Single Country: US Released: ? Genre: Funk / Soul, Blues
Tracklist: A) Whiskey's Thicker'n Water B) Testin' the Water
Profile: The bluesrockin' Bluebirds are as Louisiana as Justin Wilson, and cook just as well. Core members Bruce and Buddy Flett grew up in Shreveport grooving to R&B DJs Birdbrain and Gay Poppa on KOKA and rooting around in Stan's Record Shop (owned by Stan Lewis of Jewel/Paula fame).
Buddy was inspired by local Albert King clone Raymond Blakes, and later picked up on Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Elmore James and the Rolling Stones. Both Fletts played in A-Train, a band that was popular throughout Louisiana and Texas from 1977-87.
The Bluebirds started out as a Tuesday night jam band, and has had on drums Kerry Hunter and Kevin Smith. The Fletts are not only exemplary musicians but also skilled songwriters who inject a regional feel to their tunes without being stagy about it.
