review by tofubeth

It’s hard to know how to classify this CD: there’s a bit of blues, folk, pop, country and whatever you’d call a kazoo dancing from one speaker to the other and back (Track 1). Weird but fun when played in moderation.

Boston Blues Works
review by tofubeth

Here’s a CD for those who like some boogie-woogie with their blues. There are plenty of covers of rock ‘n’ roll songs here, including “Give Me One Reason” and “Good Lovin’,” neither of which sounds all that much like the original, and that’s kind of fun.

Swamp Cabbage
review by tofubeth

The album opens with an instrumental version of The Who’s “Won’t Be Fooled Again,” which is unexpected for a band known mostly for swamp blues. All of the songs (mostly instrumentals) are new versions of 1970s songs. They’re good if you’re looking to mix up your playlist or if you need some instrumental backing whilst you speak to your audience.

Colin Linden
review by tofubeth

Here’s a follow-up to the Linden’s album “Colin Linden Live,” released 30 years ago. There’s a grungy, unpolished feel to most of this album, but that’s what makes it stand out from some of the more studio-fied blues albums coming out. “Too Late to Holler” stands out as a solid rocker.

Linsey Alexander
review by tofubeth

Alexander plays excellent Chicago blues, including the city's signature electric blues, but you'll also hear R&B and funk influences. Most songs are originals--and quite good.

Shemekia Copeland
review by tofubeth

Copeland, from Chicago, consistently puts on a good show, and this CD is no exception. It features powerful, insistent vocals along with critique of social issues.  Influences include Ruth Brown, Koko Taylor and Etta James. The title seems to refer both to Copeland’s age (33) and the speed at which vinyl albums play on the turntable.

review by tofubeth

The opening number, Rotgut Run, has a nice driving on-the-road feel to it, building up momentum. Actually, transportation plays a big part on this album as a whole (V-8 Ford, Zydeco Train . . .) as do animals (Dog Days, Three Cool Cats, Monkey . . . ), all set to a toe-tapping beat.

Don’t Play: Track #9, “T’aint” FCC Violation
