For seven years Chris O’Leary served his country by joining the Navy Afterwards and for more than six years, Chris has served with body and soul to the call of blues, putting his voice and his harmonica with cleverness and good taste to the service of The Levon Helm’s Barnburners The physical strength and the musculature he got during the hard Navy training can be also noticed in his aggressive harmonica playing and the intensity of his explosive vocal power The album, recorded under his own name, reflects all his life experiences on a hard raw way completely unaffected but always with the involvement and authority his incredible voice and his amazing harmonica playing give him Eleven own songs in the key of blues delivered with control and reliability Besides Chris O’Leary on vocals and harmonica, the other musicians are Chris Vitarello on guitar, Andy Stahl on tenor sax, Chris Difrancesco on baritone sax, Matt Raymond on bass and Jay Devlin on drums, plus the collaboration as guest musician of John Mooney on guitar This is a splendid album that will delight all fans of the real compact well displayed blues
