I like this set a lot. I would say that not everything here really qualifies as blues, but there is blues in just about all of it. All of it is of a pretty high quality, too. There’s not a bad song here. There are a couple weaker numbers, though. Unfortunately, those are the last two songs of the set. I tend to think that a little rearranging would have made for a stronger CD.

This has a great retro soulful blues sound. Dana Fuchs really adds a lot to this piece. She has a voice that calls to mind people like Janis Joplin and Melissa Etheridge. She just plain rocks.

I love the slide guitar on this killer hard rocking blues tune. This is closer to the Led Zeppelin end of the blues. Mind you, I’m not saying Zeppelin is blues, but rather hard rock. I’m saying this is pure blues, but has that crunch and power of Zeppelin styled blues rock. Either way, it’s great stuff.
