CD Reviews

Even Better than Club Caravan, last year's best blues CD.
Jeffrey Konkel | St. Louis, Missouri USA | 08/08/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"When Cat Head Presents released Big George Brock's Club Caravan CD last year, it struck with the force of an atom bomb . . . was it really possible that a modern blues recording could sound this real? This gritty? This great? Well, I'm pleased to report that George's follow up, Round 2 is even better. This is the sound of pure blues, unadorned by gimmicks or overly slick production. Just George and a sizzling band (including the incomparable Bill Abel and Lightnin' Malcolm) playing powerful, direct songs that deliver a wallop. The addition of Hubert Sumlin on two tracks only adds to impact. Hubert hasn't sounded this good since his days with Howlin' Wolf. Essential listening."
