 BIOGRAPHY 
Tab Benoit (born November 17, 1967, Baton Rouge, Louisiana) is an American blues guitarist, musician and singer. He plays a style that is a combination of blues styles, primarily Delta blues.

He plays a Fender Telecaster electric guitar and writes his own musical compositions. Benoit graduated from Vandebilt Catholic High School in Houma, Louisiana in May, 1985. In 2003, he formed an organization promoting awareness of coastal wetlands preservation known as "Voice of the Wetlands."


A guitar player since his teenage years, he appeared at the Blues Box, a music club and cultural center in Baton Rouge run by guitarist Tabby Thomas. Playing guitar alongside Thomas, Raful Neal, Henry Gray and other high-profile regulars at the club, Benoit learned the blues first-hand from a faculty of living blues legends.

He formed a trio in 1987 and began playing clubs in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. He began touring other parts of the south two years later and started touring more of the United States in 1991- and he continues to this day.

He was featured in the IMAX film, Hurricane on the Bayou.

On May 16, 2010, at the LMHOF Louisiana Music Homecoming in Erwinville, Louisiana, Benoit was inducted into The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.

Benoit landed a recording contract with the Texas-based Justice Records and released a series of recordings, beginning in 1992 with Nice and Warm. These Blues Are All Mine, was released on Vanguard in 1999 after Justice folded.

That same year, he appeared on Homesick for the Road, a collaborative album on the Telarc label with fellow guitarists Kenny Neal and Debbie Davies. Homesick not only served as a showcase for three relatively young musicians, but also launched Benoit’s relationship with Telarc that came to fruition in 2002 with the release of Wetlands.

On Wetlands, Benoit mixed original material such as the autobiographical "When a Cajun Man Gets the Blues" and "Fast and Free" with Professor Longhair’s “Her Mind Is Gone” and Otis Redding's "These Arms of Mine".

Later in 2002, Benoit released Whiskey Store, a collaborative recording with fellow guitarist and Telarc labelmate Jimmy Thackery, as well as harpist Charlie Musselwhite and Double Trouble; the two-man rhythm section of bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton.

In 2003, Benoit released Sea Saint Sessions, recorded at Big Easy Recording Studio in New Orleans. In addition to Benoit and his regular crew, bassist Carl Dufrene and drummer Darryl White, Sea Saint Sessions included guest appearances by Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Cyril Neville, Brian Stoltz and George Porter.

That same year, Benoit and Thackery took their dueling guitar show on the road, and recorded a March 2003 performance at the Unity Centre for Performing Arts in Unity, Maine. The result was Whiskey Store Live, released in February 2004.

Benoit's 2005 release was Fever for the Bayou, which also included guest appearances by Cyril Neville (vocals and percussion) and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux (vocals).

In 2006, Benoit recorded Brother To The Blues with Louisiana's LeRoux. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album.

His song Shelter Me is the theme song for the Discovery Channel TV-series Sons of Guns.

In April, 2011 Benoit released Medicine featuring Anders Osborne, Michael Doucet of Beausoleil, and Ivan Neville.

I usually have no trouble with your links, but the Tab is too well hidden.

Manhatan said...

@S R
Not hidden ! Hundred times explained !
Since the lost of all my albums and links on MEGA, I made 2 things to get links :
1. Look at the Artist's genre - go to the MEGA genre list (top right) and select the entry (ELECTRIC for Tab Benoit)
Once on MEGA scroll down to the artist and DL what you wish !
2. I don't plan to put again, one by one, all the +35,000 links lost BUT I started to put a direct link to the artist on the Big Artist's name (Top of the post).
Unfortunately It's a very long process and ACOUSTIC / BASS / BAND / ELECTRIC (up to J) artists are made so far !! I update a few every single day ...

All the Best

I am trying to find the DL link to this album : Kenny Neal, Debbie Davies, Tab Benoit - Homesick For The Road I've looked under each of the three artists listed on the cover but I cannot find a link. Please help.

Manhatan said...

As I’ve explained a million times, after losing all the albums—and thus all the links—FIVE times across five different cloud storage services (including even MEGA the last time!!), I now only post ONE link for each artist, collection, or VARIOUS compilation!
As a result, if you click on VARIOUS, you’ll be taken to the long list of those albums on MEGA! All you have to do is scroll down to the entry you want. In short: follow the ⬇️ to find the links!
Have a great day!
