CD Reviews

Electric British Blues at its finest

Paul | Davis Ca | 07/13/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"While I know why so many of you rated this 5 stars, I feel like you're a bit too attached to 60's music which makes you nostalgic for this record. I agree with the fact that Dave Edmunds is one of the underated guitar players of the era. I also agree that technically he is a fine player. However, I have to disagree with the characterizations that this is one of the best blues albums of all time. When you stack it up to the Chess sessions, it pales. Sure, compared to Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend and Alvin Lee, Edmunds failed to garner much popularity (for some unkown reason), but I'm afraid he's not on the same page with BB King or Muddy Waters.

That said, though, this is a nice collection of frenetic electric guitar blues. It is mostly cover material with that nice 60's psychedelic edge. Its a good collection of blues rock with some spectacular pyrotechnics, as well as choice licks. If its lacking, its in that polished soulful phrasing that the blues greats have in buckets. The tune selection shows he's done his homework on the blues classics - Freddy King's "The Stumble" (which if for no other reason you have to hand it to him for attempting when Peter Green does a wonderful job of with the original Fleetwood Mac), a couple of Ray Charles staples and Slim Harpo's "Shake Your Hips" all standout. It all sort of sounds dated now, though, doesn't it?

A very hip collection indeed. Well worth investigation if you're a blues rock fan."

Great Guitar Work, Great Blues Album

B. Meade | KC Mo USA | 02/18/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is one of the first blues albums I heard, and I've been a fan ever since. Dave Edmunds guitar work is amazing. Many people have no idea that this guy can play. Though mostly covers, they really smoke, with Dave's guitar virtuosity. Ray Charles, Canned Heat and the others they cover must be proud. I've never met anyone who's heard this album and didn't like it. Well worth the money if you're a blues fan."
