Paul Cebar - The Get-Go (1997)


Milwaukee native Cebar has tottered on the edge of notoriety for years, and this disc is a testament to his staying power. Dabbling in flavors of brassy R&B, calypso, reggae, ragtime and blue-eyed soul, Cebar delivers an album filled with winning original tunes in a confident and well-weathered tenor. From the bouncy "She's Found a Fool" to the baleful "Itta Bena Boy," the trip is a delight. by Tim Sheridan

Just came across your blog. Thanks for the share and the upload. I saw a ton of Cebar while living in Chicago in the 90s. Always a great show. Upstroke For The Downfolk is another classic album from him (1995), anchored by the lead track "Didn't Leave Me No Ladder". Looking forward to checking out your other recommendations and uploads here, but based on a quick scan (Tinsley Ellis, Rounder Records, etc.) it's clear you've got solid taste. Thanks again!
