Singer, songwriter and harmonica player Greg Izor comes back to record market front line with a warm work that does not only include blues but also other similar complementary styles To do it he has been surrounded by some excellent musicians who back him with a restrained fine performing They are Mike Keller guitar, Willie Pipkin on guitar too, Ronnie James bass and drummers Jason Corbière and Corey Keller All of them give a warm attractive atmosphere to the whole song selection Greg sings with conviction and confirms his qualites both in his vocal skills and in the variety of different melodic ressources he tastefully displays As harmonica player he has got an effective dynamic deep fat tone, especially at the diatonic harmonica more than with the chromatic one This is a remarkable album where, one more time, Greg Izor risks himself, not only in musical aspects, but also with imaginative lyrics, that have been carefully written to satisfy listeners Let’s hope all of you value Greg’s work and decide to buy a copy
