After thirty-five years of career, Kelly Richey has surpassed herself with this new work, the sixteenth one she has published so far This singer, songwriter and excellent guitar player brings us ten songs whose common denominator and main traces are her powerful and energetic guitar solos, together with a clever mixture of blues, funk, rock, Americana and electronic music, which becomes a powerful weapon to fight against boredom of everyone with some blood in the veins Kelly sings all songs with great authority and self assurance showing that, as year go passing by, her voice has gradually reached a maturity difficult to overcome, as she has managed to reach a very high quality level, because she has matured herself in the thousands of clubs and juke joints where she has given her music, professional work, her energy and her good work Besides Kelly in vocals and guitar the other musicians are Rikk Manning on bass and Tobe Donohoe on drums, plus a bunch of guest musicians sin some cuts The album has been recorded with a clever supervision and careful production, as there have been added some special studio effects coming from the band bass player and producer Tobe Donohoe
