IMG | 02/16/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Take a little bit of rock, a little bit of blues, and a lot of groove

and you've got "The Best of the Michael Packer Blues Band." Michael's

raspy and memorable vocals are well-matched with the mood of the music

to bring the listener into a hopping blues bar on a Saturday night. The

soulful backing female vocals add a nice touch to Michael's vocals. The

horn section is tight with tasteful and impressive sax fills throughout.

Tracks such as "Recovered Soul" and "I Can't Keep from Crying" have

elements of mainstream radio hits with catchy choruses and a rhythm

section that will have your body moving to the music. If enjoy the

blues, but want a more upbeat rock feel, you'll love this CD. Pick up a

copy today!
