Blues CD Reviews 4-9-06
Lindell, Eric -- "Chasin' The Blues" (Alligator) B+Very interesting combination of styles and sounds. New Orleans rootsy with Neville Bros. reggae beats and funky horn backups, then switches to pop-like tunes with Stone Temple Pilot vocals (only not so loud). Cool. Musicianship is great; songwriting very nice. I thought the disc was uneven though, as if he didn't quite know exactly what direction he was reaching for. A very promising beginning for a first disc.
Various Artists -- "35 X 35" -- 35 Yrs. of Genuine Houserockin' Music (Alligator) B
Nice collection of Alligator artists--old and new--and their signature stuff. Something here for everyone from old-timers (Hound Dog Taylor) to up-and-comings (Dave Hole). Good overall coverage of the electric blues.
