Tobin James & The Lonely Dogs

Tobin James (a.k.a. T.J. Weiss) is the main man in this Blues-rock band. This solid, ten-track CD of mostly original material is long on substance and short on pretension. The album was recorded in Dallas, and has the flavour of a Gregg Allman solo album, with some neat organ and tasteful backing vocals. This is particularly the case on songs like 'Blue Sky Lightning'. Tobin James has a gritty and soulful voice, (and) this is an album which benefits from repeated playing, where the phrasing and emotion in Weiss' voice becomes more and more appealing. The songs have that authentic and timeless Blues sensibility.

"The state of Texas cranks out some of the best blues music in the world, and Tobin James ranks up there with the best in Texas. From his strong, sexy vocals, to the power of his supporting players, James and his band pack a wallop that few can match. This is a rockin' blues show you don't want to miss!"

Tobin,

It's a huge pleasure to have such great music to listen to and broadcast. I've been playing your stuff on the radio for 4 years now, and I still really enjoy hearing it - there's not many things I can say that for!

As the bastard son of the late great Freddie King, or maybe it's vice versa, I really like punching up your CD and Texas Cannonballing down the road in the truck... good work, my man!

Tobin,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We've been busy trying to catch up on all that we let go in preparation for the music fest. We were honored that you were available to play!

I am waiting to hear back from 2 radio contacts about their addresses where I should send the CDs to. But I plan on sending it to WDIY, WDVR and WXPN. DIY and DVR are public radio stations with blues shows and XPN is the U of Penn radio station that has a blues show. Once I receive the addresses, I will forward them to you with the name of the Blues DJ's. I do know that XPN's DJ is Jonny Meister. My contact at DVR has been Bluegrass Rose and my contact at DIY has been Alison DelRe.

We will definitely keep you in mind for future events. You put on a great show with great music and we appreciate your working with us so well these last few weeks. If there is anything we can do to help you get out there, let us know. Do you have facebook? If so, I'd be happy to forward any of your upcoming events to our friends/customers. We are at JohnnyMacs AmericanGrill or this email address.

Take care and looking forward to having you back!
