:: Release Notes:
::
:: Crackling with hypnotic energy, Otis Taylor's eighth album
:: infuses his cutting-edge blues with a dose of rock'n'roll
:: exuberance. The blasting opener "Little Betty" gets some
:: rocket fuel from blues-rock legend Gary Moore's marvelously
:: expressive, raw guest guitar as well as from drummer John
:: Kelly, whose propulsion ignites several of these dozen tunes.
:: Ultimately, though, Taylor's one-chord magic comes from his
:: knack for repeating catchy riffs until they become a
:: seductive blur--a hip-shaking platform for his colorful
:: explorations of love, war, joy, deprivation, and racial
:: struggle. He's also got a way with textures, spinning dirty
:: guitar, prickly electric mandolin, his daughter Cassie's
:: haunting alto singing, and his own appealingly hoarse
:: baritone into mesmeric arrangements for tunes like the
:: Hurricane Katrina contemplation "They Wore Blue" that owe as
:: much to Pink Floyd as to Muddy Waters. Taylor also pushes the
:: envelope hard with "Long Long Life," which blends jazz star
:: Hiromi Uchara's manic piano improvisations with Ron Miles's
:: free-form cornet as Taylor intones a curse on a disdainful
:: lover. It's a brilliant collision of styles and yet another
:: fiery testimonial to Taylor's unique artistic vision. --Ted
:: Drozdowski
