1) Fathead is a Canadian blues combo active since 1992. Its smoky soul-infused style may remind listeners of the Robert Cray band. Fathead may be the best blues and roots band to come out of Canada since Ronnie Hawkins hired the future-Band to become his backup group, The Hawks, in the mid-1950s. An ultra-tight ensemble, Fathead brings together the most respected musicians in the United States' northern neighbor to create an energetic blend of funk, soul and rockin' blues.
