Synopsis

Product Description
After seven critically-acclaimed traditional blues releases (along with two Blues Blast Music Award wins and 16 Blues Music Award nominations under his band's collective belt), Nick Moss is taking a fresh approach and heading in an exciting new direction on Privileged. As Blogcritic Josh Hathaway writes in the liner notes, 'Privileged represents a change in direction but not inspiration. Before Nick met Jimmy Rogers, Jimmy Dawkins and Lurrie Bell, he met their musical offspring in the form of Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers, Free, Jimi Hendrix, ZZ Top, Cream and other legends who drew their inspiration from Mississippi's Delta and the immortal treasures that sprang from his beloved nearby Chicago.' Moss has written some of the finest songs of his career, and by stretching beyond the traditional blues idiom, he has expanded his sound without losing his identity.

CD Reviews

On the money
OffBeat Magazine | 07/10/2010
(3 out of 5 stars)

"You got to give Nick Moss credit. He sure gets a lot of mileage out of two or three chords. Moss is a workman-like guitarist who plays like a buzzsaw, leaving nary an empty space here. Check out the traditional blues "Louise" where Moss plays like his pants are on fire--Robert Pete Williams never sounded like this. Like Bo Diddley, Moss is fond of picking out a groove and staying right there. He does this effectively on the title track and the storming "Bolognious Funk."



It's easy to tell this guy listened to a lot of early Eric Clapton, and inevitably this one includes a cover of Cream's "Politician." "For What It's Worth" is an awkward inclusion, but recycling Sonny Boy's "She's So Fine (Born Blind)" is on the money. Moss does have some worthy originals; the opener "Born Leader" and "Your Love's a Lie" are among them. Throughout, Moss writes, sings and plays with a chip on his shoulder, and I'd recommend Privileged even if the bass player's name wasn't "Stumpy."--OffBeat Magazine, July 2010 issue
