Originally released on the French record label Black and Blue, Evidence's re-issue of 1973's JUST GOT LUCKY showcases the always impressive--and widely varied--roots music wizardry of Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. This unclassifiable guitar maverick is as likely to strike up a spicy zydeco as he is a steamy down-tempo blues. JUST GOT LUCKY kicks things off with versions of three of Brown's Peacock tunes from the '50s in the blues/swing mold. These include the title track and "Sad Hour," on which Brown's guitar skill is matched by the cool ivory tickling of Jay McShann. Four rollicking versions of well-known Louis Jordan numbers show the ensemble at ease in the jump blues style, as does a sizzling version of Bill Doggett's "Honey Boy," with Brown's six-string ministrations spotlighted throughout. With a couple of exceptions, the Gate's guitar approach is mellower and more nuanced than the brash, rock-inflected sound of his '50s sides, as can be heard on the relaxed, jazzy "It's Mean," which features support from bassist Milt Hinton and J.C. Heard. Here, as always, Brown's conversational singing, impressive multi-instrumentalism (check out the fiddle solo on "Someday"), and deep, bluesy feeling, tie the whole enterprise together.
