 ██     Nearly all of Fiona Boyes' previous reviews have                 ██
 ██     acknowledged that she is an exceptional female blues             ██
 ██     guitarist, but it's time to lay the gender qualifier to          ██
 ██     rest: Fiona Boyes is an exceptional blues guitarist, period,     ██
 ██     as well as an exceptional vocalist and songwriter. Having        ██
 ██     released several albums in her native Australia, both with       ██
 ██     her '90s band, the Mojos, and under her own name ù most          ██
 ██     recently a double-live set recorded in Atlanta ù Boyes           ██
 ██     finally tried her luck in the market that has inspired her       ██
 ██     music. Lucky 13 is her first American release, and it's one      ██
 ██     wicked slab of blues. Most of Boyes' previous recordings         ██
 ██     have showcased her acoustic guitar work, but from the first      ██
 ██     "Smokestack Lightning"-like notes of Lucky 13's opener,          ██
 ██     "Chicken Wants Corn," Boyes lets it be known that this time      ██
 ██     she's cranking up the volume. Her electric guitar playing        ██
 ██     throughout displays both enormous skill and a true empathy       ██
 ██     with the American roots music she's adapted as her own. With     ██
 ██     a particular allegiance to the Chicago and New Orleans           ██
 ██     styles, and nods to Texas, Memphis, and Mississippi, Boyes'      ██
 ██     picking can be alternately nasty/dirty or smooth/sweet, but      ██
 ██     regardless of the subgenre, she's consistently economical,       ██
 ██     tasteful, and imaginative, bringing to each tune crisp,          ██
 ██     melodic lines and a sense of history; there's no question        ██
 ██     that Boyes has spent many an hour studying the nuances of        ██
 ██     the form. That isn't to suggest that this is an exercise in      ██
 ██     retro, though: Boyes perfectly bridges modernity with            ██
 ██     classicism. Ten of the album's 13 tracks were composed by        ██
 ██     the artist, who keeps her sound rooted in the present while      ██
 ██     aesthetically transporting herself to Chicago's South Side       ██
 ██     of the mid-20th century to hang with Muddy Waters and            ██
 ██     Howlin' Wolf, and then stepping further back to pay a visit      ██
 ██     to Memphis Minnie down in Louisiana. For the occasion of her     ██
 ██     U.S. debut, Boyes took advantage of the local talent,            ██
 ██     augmenting her core group the Fortune Tellers with Bob           ██
 ██     Margolin, one of Waters' former guitarists; the Texan            ██
 ██     pianist Marcia Ball; saxman Mark "Kaz" Kazanoff; and others.     ██
 ██     But while her guests lend to the effort their considerable       ██
 ██     experience on the American blues scene, the spotlight is         ██
 ██     never off of Boyes, who impresses on each track with her         ██
 ██     virtuosic guitaristry and versatile vocalizing. She likes to     ██
 ██     keep the listener guessing, too: "Rockabilly on the Radio,"      ██
 ██     a screaming, twanging '50s-style rocker, the tender ballad       ██
 ██     "Stranger in Your Eyes," and the jump blues "Big Bigger          ██
 ██     Biggest" may all at first seem anomalies, but they fit           ██
 ██     neatly into the plan. And although the album's focus is her      ██
 ██     electric playing, Boyes doesn't neglect her acoustic             ██
 ██     fingerpicking on Lucky 13. "Pigmeat Lover," one of a handful     ██
 ██     of tracks spotlighting longtime Asleep at the Wheel pianist      ██
 ██     Floyd Domino, recalls Maria Muldaur's early solo albums,         ██
 ██     while the cover of Lillian McMurry's "Red Hot Kisses," a         ██
 ██     duet with Margolin, is country-blues at its finest. Fiona        ██
 ██     Boyes may be from Down Under, but with albums this good          ██
 ██     she'll be on top of all of the blues polls before long.          ██
