One of the hottest of hot Texas guitarists, for years Tutu has been somewhat of a legend in his native Dallas. Remarkably, this is Tutu Jones' US debut album. "Texas music cognoscenti might listen to this music and note a bit of Al Braggs here, a jot of Z.Z. Hill there, and a slice of Freddie King on the side. But Tutu is more than the sum of his influences. . . . He's first and foremost an individualist, who puts a very personal stamp on every note he plays and every syllable he sings. You could call him the living personification of the sound of South Dallas, where blues and soul meet and are the stronger for it. Put on Blue Texas Soul, crank it up, and revel in the timely, compelling force of Tutu Jones." --Tim Schuller, from his liner notes 1. The Sky Is Crying 2. Chronic Late Arriver 3. Check Out Yourself 4. Have You Ever Loved A Woman 5. It's Been A Mistake 6. You Never Had Love 7. Things Are Looking Up 8. I've Been Loving You 9. I'll Play The Blues For You 10. I'm Not Ashamed To Play The Blues
