RELEASED :: 2019
On his colourful fifth studio album ‘Elsewhere Bound’, Tiny Legs Tim swopped the acoustic bare-to-the-bone intimacy of its predecessor ‘Melodium Rag’ for a fleshy production and a large band. Steaming horns and brooding percussion set the tone. In the background, a honky-tonk piano is stamping away and a harmonica wheezes, while voice and guitar tell a universal story. The atmosphere is welcoming and festive, but the salty smell of sweat and tears imply lingering disquiet.
‘Elsewhere Bound’ draws on the tradition of the blues, but reveals itself as an intriguing change of direction in comparison to the stripped-down ‘Melodium Rag’. The direct approach and the search for authenticity during the recording process was kept, but TLT felt the need to push the boundaries on ‘Elsewhere Bound’. Musical impressions during a journey through New Orleans (classic jazz, the remarkable horn arrangements, the contemporary Nola-funk) paved the way. With this album, TLT picked the fruits of that approach.
