Valoración: VERY GOOD
Third album in the career of this wonderful singer and guitarist called Cathy Ponton King, this time, with the valuable collaboration of guitar players Ronnie Earl and Jimmy Thackery, to round up a delicious work based on blues and ballads. You will also find the good work of jazz and fusion bass player Butch Warren, an effective hard musician, who gives strength and a fine texture to the songs “Sweet Change To My Heart” and “Little House In The Country”. All the selected material has been written by Cathy herself, who has been involved for more than twenty years in the music business. As she has not done so much work in studio till now, this new album is even more welcomed. “The Crux” also includes some great musicians, like saxo player Ron Holloway, a genuine versattile musician, whose fruitful career places him as one of the best actual saxo players. Less well known Bill Starks on piano and Antoine Sanfuentes on drums, show a good virtouso technique at their instruments too. In short words, this is a good album that will drive you along the long and winding roads of blues, with very pleasant feelings.
