Finally comes the long time awaited new work of singer and guitar player Steve Grills Steve is backed by Ernest Lane on piano, Steve Gomes on bass and Mike Plouffe on drums Steve Grills has managed to do a great Chicago and Texas blues album, unpretentious, honest and well performed by the four band musicians and the special collaboration of singer and guitar player Joe Beard and Mark Collins on tenor sax and trumpet in a couple of songs The album sounds brilliant and genuine, although the twelve tracks included are covers of Mercy Dee Walton, Magic Sam, Tampa Red, Albert Collins, Ike Turner, Pee Wee Crayton, Jimmy Rogers or Earl Hooker among others The perfect understanding and complicity among the six musicians becomes intense, magical, fluent, compact and well teamed, so the result can be nothing but a relaxed restrained work, exuding blues along the whole cd On a few words, here come six musicians who deeply love and feel the blues, and perform them with the reverence and respect this music always deserves This album should get recognition of all the people who respectfully admire and feel the blues
