Unfortunately, on Cards on the Table, the usually restrained James Harman is a little too understated. In his quest for the subtlety of his favorite blues classics, the bandleader has fallen prey to a certain blandness. Harman and his righthand man, multi-instrumental whiz Jeff Turmes, wrote 12 of the album's 13 tunes. None of them match the concise catchiness of the other song, Leiber & Stoller's "Last Clean Shirt," but numbers like "Sparks" and "Crazy by Degrees" describe relationships gone wrong with sly wit and striking guitar riffs. Friend-of-the-band Anson Funderburgh adds some guitar to "Temporary Blues," and "Where's My Thang" and "Black Under Black" get the full-blown R&B treatment of female backup singers and a horn section. All these songs should be much more vivid in live performance. --Geoffrey Himes

Customer Reviews of Cards on the Table

Very Good, but not great!
James is a modern day blues GIANT. Several tracks on this album are distracting and not up to James usual writing excellence (i.e., Wheres My Thing, Black Under Black). However, such gems as "Three Way Party", "Sparks", and "Crazy By Degrees" more than make up for the occasional misses. This is a darker album than other Harman efforts (Last Clean Shirt/Walk The Streets.........), but not a downer by any means. "Two Sides To Every Story" is a more complete work for James and "Do Not Disturb" is a bit more fun. Even still, this disc contains some blues classics that a well worth a listen. Thank you, baby!!


cold blues served with an icepick or in a horn
"icepick" harman serves up more of his cool brand of texas beerjoint blues, and there's tasty stuff here even though his quirky sense of humor and fondness for the odd sometimes get in the way of the truly cool. high points are "night ridin' daddy" with its breezy harp and harman's vocal dead on for jim morrison, and "temporary blues" with guest guitarist anson funderburgh trading riffs with the harman band's twanger robby eason. if only icepick had soloed between the two six-strings here, he could have reprised butterfield blowing between bishop and bloomfield. a chance missed, but it's a great blues anyway. and there's good doses of that cold harp on other tracks, so it doesn't really matter. what isn't so cool is "where's my thang," a 7-minute nonmusical and nonhumorous gag that has harman evidently walking around the studio asking the musicians if they've seen his "thang," whatever that is. There's also a couple! ! of tunes with, ugh, horns, and some that just drag. a playable disc though, and i keep putting it on.
