notes
Texas Thunder was the first CD Benny recorded for Wolftrax
Records and was recorded in the spring of 1993 at GEM/Lonestar studio in Austin, Texas. It is a collection of some of Benny's favorite blues songs plus three of his own originals. The CD was recorded with just the trio of Benny on guitar and vocals, Danny Valerio on bass and Steve Severson on drums. The CD was recorded classic old school style live in the studio over three days. This gives the CD that raw 50's blues sound which a lot of the fans seem to prefer. When you listen to "Meet Me At The Levee", one of Benny's originals, it's hard to believe it's just a trio. Because of copyright limitations on the cover songs on Texas Thunder the CD can only be sold in the continental United States. Benny lost his battle with liver cancer and passed away January 11, 2006. His take no prisoners style will be missed by his many fans, a truly gifted guitar player.
Peace Be With You Benny.
