strong voice...even stronger March 3, 2010
A. Mandeville (Connecticut)
playing....I like Jeff Healy, John Lee Hooker, and the blues in general so I though a listen through the samples sold this albulm to me. I was not disappointed as I listen throught the whole albulm...a nice flow and fee, his distinct voice and smooth playing bring together an album you can't help but liten to again and again...
OK, but... November 30, 2008
Hank Schwab (Indianapolis, IN USA)
This is good enough, but there's not much new going on. Mostly, these are blues oldies, covered a thousand times already. Granted, Ulmer and his band add a nice raucous, irreverent touch, but after "No Escape from the Blues", this seems to be more of a holding pattern.
Good Disc! July 28, 2003
Whispering Veal- (Redington Shores, Florida, USA)

This is a good disc, with one caveat.The singing is great, and the rhythm section is world class. These are some of the best songs ever written, and a terrific survey of blues songs/styles. "Dimples" and "Death Letter" are classic performances. The one caveat is Vernon Reid's guitar playing. I could never tap into the music of "Living Color" -- it always seemed like someone had subtracted the rhythm. On this disc, Vernon tries to play blues guitar, and on a couple of songs he succeeds. On the others, his playing sounds like Ornette Coleman is sitting in while suffering from a middle ear disorder. This is a matter of taste, but it didn't suit me. In summary, this disc is similar to a blues sampler in the range of the material, all of the songs swing, and the singing is great. Four stars.
