Having built his reputation as a songwriter with lyrics that Downbeat magazine has called blues poetry, it may seem odd to fans of his music that Tas Cru’s first-ever single release is an instrumental. Déjà Blu proves that Cru is equally adept at composing rich melodies and crafting lush arrangements. Tas Cru proudly proclaims he is a songwriter with “songs that matter, lyrics that speak, and melody gets room to breathe.” In Déjà Blu, the air that melody breathes is buoyant,fresh and pure.

With five albums in the last seven years, Cru released Riffin' The Blue on February 3, 2023. The album is produced by Tas who, in addition to his tried-and-true studio stalwarts, enlists solid help from a few others, most notably Mike Zito (courtesy of Gulf Coast Records) and renowned keyboardist, Bruce Katz. Zito puts his guitar stamp on two songs - the album’s opener/title track and on the closer, Memphis Gone. Katz contributes his world-class talent on piano and organ to ten of the album’s eleven songs.
