  • Starting his own label and producing his own music was a creative watershed for the “Moonchild” (Travis’ nickname inspired by his broad smile and beaming stage presence).  He gets better with each new release. This album features more excellent Haddix original blues like, “Problem With That,” a litany of gripes or pet peeves. On “Catch You In The Truth,” he complains that his woman tells a lie “when it ain’t even necessary and that’s something I just don’t understand.” The manic, “Why Wait” urges a speedy trip down the aisle and “Bread, Butter & Blues” contains some colorful autobiographic details.

    Another strong set of Chicago-styled Blues and R & B that’s worthy of wide consumption. Unlike his usual all original sets, “Mean Ole Yesterday” features 4 classic covers and 6 powerful original cuts.

    1. Problem With That
    2. Milk & Bread
    3. Your Finger Prints
    4. Why Wait
    5. Getting Together Again
    6. Do Wrong Right
    7. Catch You In The Truth
    8. Bread, Butter & Blues
    9. Hazeleyes
    10. Ode To The Bag Lady
    11. Same Old View
    12. Count This Up
