A smokin' collection of blues/rock/jazz/gospel tunes.

"Blue Law's Gonna Getcha is a great mix of songwriting & arranging, all along the blues/rock/jazz genre.
The combination of classic rock guitarist Andy Powell (Wishbone Ash) plugged into a blues band really works.
Standouts include House of Cards (chock full of great lyrical puns) and For Cryin' Out Loud, a gospel tinged tune with vocalist Jon Moorehead singing his heart out.
My particular favorite is the jazz/blues tune Bicycle Man. It's about one of those homeless guys who rides around with the large black garbage over the bar. The lyrics "...with his living room on his lap" and "he doesn't know where he's going, but he's got a mirror to see where he's been" are my personal standout favorites.
This one is a must have for my collection."
Blue Law/Andy Powell-good but not great blues.

"Blue Law serves up some good horn oriented blues. Excellent musicianship by all, especially the keyboard player. Maybe he stood out to me more than the others because I am a keyboard player myself. But that said, I expected something more creative from Andy Powell. Nothing here I have not heard from a lot of other blues bands. Also nothing too creative lyrically. Still it is good to hear something in a totally different style from Wishbone Ash's Andy Powell, who is one of my favorite guitarists."
