     All the songs played in Chicago blues clubs don't necessarily
     have 12 bars. Many of Chicago's blues singers are also R&B
     and/or rock singers, and Zora Young is a prime example. Based
     in Chi-Town but originally from Mississippi, the expressive
     singer provides an enjoyable, if derivative, blues/soul/rock
     mix on her 2000 date Learned My Lesson. Young is far from a
     blues purist ù while ôMy Man's an Undertaker" and Young
     originals like the humorous ôPity Party" are straight-up urban
     blues, she confidently detours into soul and rock territory on
     ôGirl Friend" (another Young original) and sweaty performances
     of Ike & Tina Turner's ôNutbush City Limits" and Chuck Berry's
     ôLiving in the U.S.A." Meanwhile, Young draws heavily on her
     gospel background on a passionate version of Percy Mayfield's
     ôPlease Send Me Someone to Love." No one will accuse Young of
     being an innovator; drawing on such influences as Koko Taylor
     and Etta James, she is quite derivative. But a CD doesn't have
     to be groundbreaking to be likable, and Learned My Lesson is a
     CD that's easy to like. ù Alex Henderson
