A decent blues album - with one killer track
12/08/1998
(3 out of 5 stars)
"For the most part this is a workmanlike electric blues album - lots of songs about waking up in the morning, rocking your town, etc., with some tasty guitar work.Track 5, "Your affection is gone", however, is wonderful. From the crackling guitar intro, this is a good song with great pace, a couple more great guitar breaks, and some lovely keyboard work in the backing. Sort of Robert-Cray-meets-the-Isley-Brothers, and a great tune for the car.This kind of album alwys puzzles me: how did the guy come up with one song so much better than the rest?"
