If there is a blues artist who can attract the youngest audience to this style, is undoubtedly singer, drummer and song writer Lindsay Beaver As soon as she comes on stage, she places in front of her reduced drum set (like rockabilly drummers) in the middle of the stage, she stands up and starts to sing and plat drums, she immediately calls the attention of the whole audience Blues, rhythm and blues and old school rock ‘n’ roll with a touch of energetic and vibrant alternative rock-punk is what you will find if you listen to this album Her undeniable quality has crossed borders and this is the reason why Bruce Iglauer has signed her for his rooster of Alligator artists because, according to Iglauer, her songs evoke the spirit of the fifties and sixties blues, but her voice and her attitude communicate all the vitality and strength of the most actual rock Seven of the twelve album songs are Lindsay’s own compositions In all them she is backed by her guitar player Brad Stevers and her usual bass player Josh Williams, besides some deluxe collaborations like Marcia Ball on piano, Dennis Gruenling on harmonica, Laura Chavez on guitar or Sax Gordon on tenor sax among others This is a fantastic recording to enjoy over and over without getting tired
