| Tia Carroll :: YOU GOTTA HAVE IT |
 Introducing Bay Area blues chanteuse, Tia Carroll and her long awaited album, You Gotta Have It. Kicking off with help from retro-soul legend Charlie Hunter, is a passionate rendering of Anthony Hamilton’s, “Ain’t Nobody Worryin’.” “Our Last Time” is a killer Jim Pugh tune that he and Robert Cray recorded during their years playing together and features a wild soaring Magic Sam-like groove from guitarist extraordinaire Kid Andersen. “Don’t Put Your Hands On Me” is an outstanding R&B romp written by the always witty Rick Estrin for one of Tia’s heroes, Koko Taylor. Tia’s inspirational message song, “Move On,” features our Brazilian blues friend, guitar star Igor Prado on stunning lead. Let’s all heed Tia’s advice as she declares, “I gotta message for y’all… get up when you fall and MOVE ON!” Tia’s voice and songs, so clearly captured here in her maiden Little Village release, will surely lead to new-found recognition and fans everywhere.
