Dean Thomas

Rhythms Magazine has likened Dean Thomas to Eric Clapton doing JJ Cale. It's a reference that sits very comfortably with Dean's second CD release - "She's On The Other Side". The influence of Mark Knopfler is also obvious.

Elements of blues, country and jazz intertwine in eleven well-crafted songs that take you on a diverse journey from the story of rock 'n' roll to crack cocaine addiction and many places in between.

Dean's cool vocals and playing infuse each story with an obvious blues tradition.

Review from Chris Peridis, Australian Guitar
October 2007

Coming off the back of 2004’s Not Really The Blues, on this CD Dean Thomas travels down a path inspired by traditional blues with a contemporary twist.  With a somewhat Chris Isaac-ness about his style, this is an album all blues players and fans alike will be happy to have spinning in the CD player.  There is some fantastic, tasteful playing on She’s On The Other Side for anyone who likes gritty slide blues, while the closing track “Jaywalking” is a fantastic swing blues instrumental that’ll have you boogying.  Other standouts include the title track and “Like A Refugee”.
