David Brewer
and The Intimidators
Personal Biography:
David Brewer, Big? Yeah! Intimidating? Maybe, Dull? Never! And definitely talented. All those years of playing blues rooms have accomplished a very good thing. They've created a seasoned player with a sly knack for catchy songwriting, monster guitar chops and near genre-perfect banged-up vocals.Brewer's been living the life of a bluesman for 35 years. Although he was born and still lives in Seattle, his mom is from Florida and his dad is from Tennessee. He went to high school in Hawaii with Gabby Pahinui's kids. He's part Seminole and very proud of his American Indian heritage. After a tour in Vietnam, in 1969, he made his way back to Seattle via Texas. Once back, he toured for 21/2 years with Albert Collins. David toured Europe in 94' and 95'. He's won The Washington Blues Society's awards for "Best Guitar Player" and "Best Songwriter" several times. He weathered good times and bad and shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the blues.Recordings Include:* David's latest record is titled "Absolutely"©(2005)* "All Tore Down"©(1995) "Bad Habits"@(1990)* In 1997,Chicago blues harp legend, Carey Bell covered David's song Bad Habits on his Alligator release Good Luck Man.* In 1997, Bad Habits was the title song on Oakland's Matthew Robinsons Fodora Records release. * In 1995, Canadian blues rocker, Collin James also covered Bad Habits as the title cut on his JUNO award-winning Warner Bros./Canada album.* In the early 90's, English blues man, Long John Baldry covered Brewer's You Wanna Dance on his Still Ain't Easy album released on the Stoney Plain label.

CD Review by Mark Dalton (October 2005)
AbsolutelyDavid Brewer and the IntimidatorsCrossed Arrows MusicThe chorus for one of my favorite tunes on this excellent disc says "You don't know me that well..." and it is true that I don't know David Brewer, the man, that well. We have friends in common however, and I've never heard anything said about Brewer except that he is a good, true friend and a righteous man. What I know better, personally, is David Brewer's music. I remember the first time I ever heard him play very well. It was at one of the Seattle Blues Review shows put on at the old G-Note Tavern out on 85th by promoter Jim Hamilton. I can refresh my memory of this 1977 show, because we got it on tape, including performances by Tom McFarland, Isaac Scott, Kim Field, and a scorching set by David Brewer and his band, Blueseye. He did a tune then called "Texas Strut" that blows me away to this day - all the energy of Freddie King in his Shelter Records prime, with explosive solos that also reflected Brewer's then-recent apprenticeship with Albert Collins - louder than hell, with an edge that cut like a machete. Complex, funky arrangement that turned on a dime. To say I was impressed with Brewer's debut in my musical life that night would be a terrible understatement.Our paths continued to cross over the years as Brewer settled into the Seattle Blues scene as a major player. I have a tape of a jam in Twist Turner's basement in the north end, just before Twist pushed off for Chicago to seek his fortune, with Brewer, Isaac and Brian Butler all playing guitars together, making a hellacious, wonderful racket - screaming Blues like you rarely hear in a more civilized Seattle of 2005.I was hanging out on a break at the Salmon Bay Eagles last week when a friend of mine gave me a copy of Brewer's (right, at the Jolly Roger Roadhouse in Seattle in the mid-'80s) new CD and said "here - you have got to have this." Okay...I took it home and put it on, and you know what? This is a really good CD. I mean a really good CD. This is not another local blues band CD - you know what I'm saying - a relatively unadorned, low budget, live in the studio, what-you-hear-is-what-you-get any night out in the clubs type-CD. This is an album of good songs - a mix of covers and original tunes - with creative arrangements, and good engineering and production. Some songs have a very cool wall-of-sound effect - layers of guitars in harmony, a solid horn section that sounds like Phil Spector himself at the board; these are compositions, obviously approached song-by-song with as much time, energy, and creative thinking as necessary given to each one to make the man happy! Listening to this album over and over hearkens back to a time for me when I would anxiously be awaiting a new release from Freddie King, or Albert Collins, or the Allman Brothers Band, and as soon as I had my hands on it, I would just play it non-stop until I'd crawled all the way inside and the cuts were as broken-in and familiar as a good pair of boots.Brewer's always interesting take on the Blues is strongly in evidence here - listen to what he has done with an old saw like "Walkin' By Myself" - a tune you've heard hundreds of times if you've been around Seattle Blues for any time at all - and yet, with Brewer's able hands and well-worn voice on the job, it sounds fresh and new. Another familiar tune, the old Animal's hit, "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," is given new life, in a convincing reading that, like all of Brewer's music, seems to come straight at you, from the heart. One of Chuck Berry's several delightful continental-flavored songs, "You Never Can Tell," gets the full studio treatment here - horns, vocal chorus, big fat sound - and the result works just great in my book.Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic" was perhaps the choice of a song that surprised me the most - but a couple times through and I was sold completely. The ringing guitar chorus, backed by a horn section that will make your feet vibrate, is just a great sound, and Brewer sings this tune with deep soul. As it says on the cover of this satisfying set, "Not everything that counts can be counted..." Believe it! Get it!

It looks like Bill forgot to mention that Mark Dalton's review of Brewer's "Absolutely" CD was pinched from the Jet City Blues blog:
http://jetcityblues.blogspot.com/
MR MIKE LYNCH
Don't get your knickers iin a twist!
Mark dalton gave me permission to use his article on my blog about David Brewer. So I didn't lift it from your site without Mark's Knowledge Like your post inpunes. I did forget to credit your site and I will. Just an over sight.
If really bothers you I'll take his review off.
But I don't know why you would begrudge David Brewer some extra promotion.
Promo material and reviews are frequently pinched(as you call it) to benfit the artist as in music reviews and movie promotions.
they were written about. I sure you have done that to one degree or another.
IF You wish I'll will post a a credit to your site and a web link!
Let be civil about this.
I'm sorry if you think I jerked your chain
Cheers Bil lfreckleton

Bill - As I told you in a separate e-mail, I'm not ticked off about this, and I certainly don't "....begrudge David Brewer some extra promotion."
But think about this - I edited Mark's review (not that much in the way of editing was required) and researched all of the hyperlinks, plus wrote the little blurb at the end, which I use as a sort of signature for his articles. So, we both worked on the version that appears on your blog. I would just appreciate it if you would contact me before taking content off of my blog, and then give us a credit when you do.
That is all, my friend. Keep up the good work!

Well, speaking of CD reviews, I was asked by a band in Seattle to review their latest offering (which I did, despite having quit the no-money-CD-reviewing-biz), and because it didn't portray them in just the right way they wanted, they refused to forward it to the WBS Bluesletter (AS IF!) ... some people just don't get it, do they? That's the last time they are going to get any air play...

Hey, Kiddo!
I caught your blog (and it was running like hell, too), and noticed that one of the pix (Aurora Wilcox? The one in the red sweater?) bears a STARTLING resemblance to the promo photos of Charlene Grant! If I were you, I'd grab one of her flyers & post them side-by-side.
