Here comes a more than interesting work by drummer, singer and harmonica player Alan Black The album is as a springboard to let us discover the tasteful and successful mixture of Gary Peeples guitar, together with guest musicians Buzz Thompson and Rick Fines, plus Alan Black on harmonica In this his first solo album, Alan has included an amazing collection of great country-blues-groove, that will awaken your ears as soon as you listen to the first notes of the opening song When I Hear You, an effective down-home shuffle that will immediately catch you The other songs included are faultless too and seven come from Alan Black himself A remarkable work of some gifted Canadian musicians with a prominsing future in front of them if they follow on into the blues business I hope they will continue their musical adventure with perseverance and determination, to bring us such great new recordings like this one
