The 2009 CD
'Blue
With Envy'
Is
their 3rd release
from
navasota....the
official blues capitol of Texas
Blue with Envy is the 2009 Texas blues guitar album released
independently from Tubie Pusheé, a BMI licensed artist. Tubie wrote 10
of the 12 songs and included 2 of his favorite old blues covers (NyQuil
Blues and Me and My Woman) done Texas style.
With his 3rd release Tubie has indisputably carved out his own niche in
the blues world. Tubie has
been dubbed the Navasota bluesman and the new ambassador of Texas blues
by local and regional media.
His Blue with Envy release is a
true Texas blues jewel. With his Texas drawl delivery, sweet and smoking
guitar, plus excellent song structure this album can make you laugh out
loud one minute and cry the next.
If you enjoy blues this CD is great. If
you like blues Texas style then this is a must have!

BLUE
WITH ENVY” ©2009 Independent
Tubie is back with another episode of
the blues, this time every corner of the genre is explored, from the
swampy
to
the traditional. There’s even an ‘Island’ feel to
“Look To Any Corner.” The musicianship is excellent on this release
as Tubie Pushée has mastered the delivery of blues music. The softer
side comes out on “My Dream” which is a more country-feeling track.
The guitar work is typical Tubie, accurate, appropriate, and amazing.
All of Tubie’s albums are
great for leaving in the player for extended
periods. Great for listening, but also fantastic for providing a mood. A
favorite cut is “The NyQuil Blues” which, in addition to a great musical effort, is a lyrical treasure, written by my good friend Herb
Steiner. Tubie does a great job on Herb’s tune. This is Pushée’s
third release, and it’s one that solidifies him as a blues mainstay in
Texas.

Review:
Tubie Pushée
and his
outstanding third release, "Blue With Envy," shines brightly
with original and creative Texas-style blues. The first track, "Gimme
Back My Car," leads off the disc with a flurry
of good ol' blues. The vocals belt out the trials of love gone wrong,
while the harmonica blows harmonious riffs and the walking bass line
moves the steady and solid beat.
Generous helpings of organ hooks and edgy guitar riffs heat up the
bluesy tones of "Me and My Woman" which gives this song a
deep, country roots feel. A bit of down home country
flavor highlights the vocals while the piano complements the sweet
guitar solo on "Home." "Skubie's Do 2" is a lush
and lyrical guitar solo which is not only blues expression at its
best but shows the great talent offered up on this disc. Pushée
not
only displays his love of the blues with engaging style but he also
offers some diversity with tempo changes
throughout the album. You can't go wrong listening to the
well-fashioned songs of "Blue With Envy" by Tubie Pushée,
as it is packed with terrific vocals, lyrics, and a solid support
of instruments.

Review of our debut album "Just Can't Believe It"
©2007 Independently Released
Tubie
Pushée
and his blues album "Just Can't Believe It," is
entertaining and fun with its versatile rhythms and well crafted
melodies. Pushée
has a gifted talent with his vocals that are deep and
rich and shine
with full-bodied flavor.Not only is
Pushée
a talented
singer but his guitar performances stand out as well. Listen to the
catchy riff on "Alibis your lies" with a straight up feel or
"709 blues" as the guitar rocks with an edgier touch. Right
from the start, the title track "Just Can't Believe It"
overflows with driving beats and catchy lyrics. "Share" puts
out a touch of country flair when Pushée
vocals demonstrate the
familiar, down home country twang style. Taking the tempo to a slower
bluesy beat, "A candle" and "Voices" offers smooth
and tender guitar strumming, while the vocals are strong yet sung with
emotional clarity. Blues fans won't be disappointed when listening to "Just Can't Believe It" by Tubie Pushée, as it is blues
versatility at its best.

The Lonestar Blues CD Reviews:

Review by Lucky Boyd....MyTexasMusic
From the opening “Upside Down” Tubie Pushée sets the bar for this album with a real thinker set in an exciting blues feel. Throughout the disc you’ll find several blues styles, all of them excellently executed. From rock to swamp to folky blues, Pushée offers a diverse setting for his sophomore project. Penning most of the cuts himself, Pushée swings the pendulum vocally as well. His rough style is perfect for “Talk To Me Blues” (written by
Donnis Hammond) and he uses his ‘inside’ voice for “The H.R. Dept. Blues,” which is the kind of song you could only write if you’ve lived it. Poor sap. You’ll hear an array of guitar work, and while the licks aren’t wrapped in an L.A. style polish, they are truly Texan, and each one seems to be the perfect choice for it’s respective track. I’m impressed with this second release and I think it elevates Pushée to a new level among blues players in Texas. Without question, he can hold his own at any blues festival in the state. Pushée has remained true to his artistic control on this album and has offered fans a diverse release with some real gems on board. I listened to this album three times all the way through before capturing my thoughts on the project. It’s comfortable in that respect and it has a decent flow that keeps you listening. True Blues fans will flock to this album.
"The Lonestar Blues" is a Texas blues guitar album that
features quirky, unique lyrics and jazzy undertones from Tubie Pushée.
Tubie's voice is a huge part of the sound, delivered with that Texan
country twang that shows his personality and forces the listener to lean
on every word. The arrangements behind him are skillful and create a
relationship between clever lyricist and top-notch musicians you will
surely enjoy. The riffs are catchy, and the rhythms are bouncy, with
great variance from song to song. The production quality of “The
Lonestar Blues” is very good as well, with emphasis placed on truly
capturing the rawness of Tubie. Highlights include "Talk to Me
Blues," with a driving rhythm, great guitar work, and a lively
vocal performance. "Goodbye" touches on the swampy side with a
little harmonica, some Tubie twang, and smooth vocals. The title track,
"The Lonestar Blues," closes things out nicely with more great
guitar work and is as blue as blues can be. With “The Lonestar
Blues,” Tubie Pushée has compiled an album full of unique and
enjoyable blues songs. If you enjoy Texas blues with off-the-wall,
twangy vocals, give Tubie a listen.
