MASTERED FOR A HI FI VINYL RECORDING ON 180G VINYL

Award- winning blues guitarist Tab Benoit's highly anticipated record doesn't just deliver the goods musically, as any longtime fan would expect, but sonically it may be his best work yet. With the LP version cut by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab at Blue Heaven Studios and plated and pressed at world- renowned Quality Record Pressings, audiophiles, and blues afcionados alike have a power- packed record of coveting.

I Hear Thunder features ten electrifying tracks that showcase Benoit's unparalleled guitar work and the powerful songwriting collaboration between Benoit and fellow blues legend Anders Osborne. Adding even more frepower to the record, legendary bassist George Porter Jr. of The Meters lends his signature groove to three standout tracks, including "Little Queenie" and "I'm A Write That Down." Benoit's tight- knit touring band - bassist Corey Duplechin and drummer Terence Higgins - rounds out the powerhouse ensemble, delivering dynamic rhythms and a driving blues backbone.

Recorded and mixed at Benoit's own Whiskey Bayou Studios, this album is both deeply personal and universally resonant. With I Hear Thunder , Benoit once again proves why he's a defning force in blues music. A Legacy of Blues and Activism Since his breakout in 1992 with the radio hit "Nice and Warm," Benoit has amassed a storied career, earning multiple Blues Music Awards and four GRAMMY awards..

Beyond the music, Benoit is celebrated for his years of activism, particularly concerning the Louisiana Wetlands and coastal erosion. He seamlessly intertwines his artistic brilliance with a profound commitment to environmental advocacy, ensuring his legacy extends beyond the stage into the heart of the land that inspires his bluesy soul.
