I'M THE MAN
Indigo
Code Blue
February 1993
Dans les années 80, il met sa carrière en solo en sommeil se concentrant sur son activité de guitariste régulier de Clifton Chenier puis de Rockin' Dopsie et Terrence Simien. Grâce au producteur anglais Mike Vernon, Sherman relance sa carrière personnelle avec ce superbe album de blues contemporain dans le sillage de Robert Cray. Il s'impose comme un magnifique guitariste et un bon chanteur. On apprécie en particulier "I'm your man", "Special kind of loving", "Make it rain", "Out of sight out of mind", "Vacating the blues", "Helping hand" et "Take a message". Le succès de l'album lui permet d'ailleurs de participer au festival de Montreux en 1994.
In the 80's, he put his solo career on hold, concentrating on his activity as regular guitarist for Clifton Chenier then Rockin' Dopsie and Terrence Simien. Thanks to english producer Mike Vernon, Sherman relaunched his personal career with this superb contemporary blues album in the wake of Robert Cray. He imposes himself as a magnificent guitarist and a good singer. We particularly like "I'm your man", "Special kind of loving", "Make it rain", "Out of sight out of mind", "Vacating the blues", “Helping hand” and “Take a message”. The success of the album also allowed him to participate in the Montreux festival in 1994.
HERE AND NOW

GOING BACK HOME

Sherman propose ici un album ambitieux et personnel pour le label Audioquest.

Parmi les meilleurs moments, on trouve "Guitar man", "Going back home", "I wonder why", "Looking at the bottom" ainsi qu'une belle reprise du "Don't throw your love on me so strong" d'Albert King.
