Curtis "Don't Hurt Us" Marlatt - "Master of theStratocaster" has been blowin' the blues now for well
over forty years. Aside from a couple forays into
Rock, R&B, or Jazz/Fusion, Marlatt has stayed pretty
much true to his roots- the Blues. Marlatt has been
fortunate to have rubbed elbows with and fronted such
bands in the past such as the Doors, The Grateful
Dead, Steppin- Wolf, Steve Miller Band, Bruce
Springsteen, Janice Joplin,The Allman Brothers and Dr.
John - just to name a few. However, since
rediscovering his roots with the Blues with his
rendition of "Curtis & The Kicks" 23 years ago, Curtis
has performed many concerts and blues festivals with
blues greats such as Albert King, Gatemouth Brown,
Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Elvin Bishop, Savoy Brown,
Junior Wells, Lucky Peterson, Joe Louis Walker, Robert
Cray, Anson Funderberg, Sam Meyer, Rod Piazza and many
more.
Originally Curtis is from Louisville, Kentucky and
graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA;
paid for by the GI Bill after spending 2 years in Viet
Nam (an experience which will be unfolded in his
up-and-coming book Capn' Zig Zag's Blues Band).
Marlatt has been the guitar slinger for such Blues
luminaries as Homesick James, Mitch Woods, Fenton
Robinson, James Harmon, Candy Kane, Mojo Buford,
Delbert McClinton & Marcia Ball. His band, Curtis &
The Kicks, also was the back-up band for the late
James "Thunderbird" Davis of Black Top Records
before"Thunderbird" fatally succumed of heart failure
on the Blues Saloon stage during Super Bowl weekend of
1991.
"Singer/guitarist Curtis Marlatt is undeniably
proficient..." -Living Blues Magazine
"...Good ensemble feel; very clean, melodic guitar;
good dynamics, nice overall feel...
Good writing. All in all, quite a good CD...definitely
a superior band." -Bruce Iglauer,
Alligator Records.
"Listening to Curtis' recent show at Stevie Ray's in
Louisville, his music has become
more sophisticated and complex with lots of jazz
influences-but still emotionally
based in the Blues. -Keith Clements, Louisville Music
News.
Curtis Marlatt is the best slide guitarist in the
South next to Duane Allman. -Cream Magazine
