Here comes singer and guitar player Mark May to delight all lovers of the most incendiary and vital blues you could imagine Mark hardened himself playing in the band of artists like Dicky Betts and, in this sixth album till now, he gives an interesting overview of the various and varied blues styles The cd opens with Boom, a majestic tribute to the great Albert Collins, where Mark plays on a faultless superb way, then he moves on to the most intense spectacular Chicago blues in songs like Money or Put Down That Poison, to go on and explore West Coast and Texas blues in a couple of tracks like She’s A Keeper and Leaving Houston, and he even dares to attack southern power-rock in cuts like I’m Her Fool and Almost Like A Suicide And if his electrifying guitar and his amazing voice were not attractive enough, Mark May has added to his usual musicians some exceptional guests as Greg Martin on slide guitar, Hadden Sayers on guitar, Eric Demmer on sax, Steve Krase on harmonica and a horn section named The Soul Saryr Horns This is a varied album, rich in nuances, that shows an incredible quality in each and every one of the selected songs
