Koko Taylor Royal Blue
Teresa | USA | 06/12/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This long awaited new Koko release was well worth the wait. It is classic Koko with a new twist her cover of Melissa Etheridge tune Bring Me Some Water was a little surprising but covered well.Fuel To Burn is a fun song that put you in the mood to ride all night long and ranks at the top of my list. I think my favorite song is Ernestine and song that was written by KOKO herself this song lets Ernestine know who the queen is for sure. Keep your Boody Out Of My Bed has that Koko sound by way of Chris Johnson's guitar work and that thumping bass from Kenny Hampton just makes me wanta smack somebody. Blues Hotel with guest BB King sounds like what it is two blues legends getting together and having a party and inviting the world . The Man Next Door with guest Keb Mo takes us right back to the root of the blues and Koko delivery on this song once again proves while she remains the Queen of the Blues.Be sure to listen for Keb Mo to cough up some blues noise of own. I Am A Old Woman built on A Young Womans Frame. This song just rocks the horn work is outstanding and really keeps it rocking from start to end Keep Your Mouth Shut and Your Eyes Open is a lesson from the queen on how to keep your man in line. The worst part of the CD is that it only has 12 songs and it is so good that it leaves you wanting more. KoKo please don't wait so long to give us more great music."

"Have you read the review beneath this one? Geez!

"For the emty headed bozo who wrote the ignorant review "Not a member of the 'mutual admiration society'", 1st of all there isn't a mutual admiratio nsociety, and blues reviewers, at leats professional ones liek me..." Honestly! Learn to spell before you start calling other people "Bozo", bozo.



Koko Taylor's first studio album in seven years, "Royal Blue" is mostly an up-tempo set with guest appearances by men like Johnny Johnson, B.B. King, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Shepherd who contributes some scorching guitar on the Melissa Ethridge-penned hit single "Bring Me Some Water", and Kevin Moore (okay, Keb' Mo') plays gritty Delta slide guitar on a great acoustic "The Man Next Door", one of four originals penned by Taylor herself.



The overall quality of this material is very high, the production is excellent, and so is the band. Fans will not want to miss this one."

"Is none other than blues mama, Koko Taylor!This has been a long 7yrs to wait but Miss Taylor not only being the'' Queen of the Blues'', has traveled the world over many times spreading the good gospel of the blues to a legion of fans!An entertainer extradonaire, Koko takes the listener to the bottom of the basement. and never lets them go. To witness Koko live in concert is comparable to nothing!On this album Koko takes the listener on a journey along the blues nile, growling and earthshaking to the down home delta blues.With an outstanding cast of the great blues men of today she gets solid support musically and vocally.BB King. Keb Mo. Kenny Wayne Shepard all lend their talents to the royal queen!"
