Paulie Cerra is an easygoing musician of enormous sensibility In this cd he shows all his expressive richness in a bunch of songs inspired on the blues that was played by forties and fifties big bands or combos Sounds that remind Ray Charles or Eddie ‘Cleanhead’ Vinson spiced with drops of Sam Cooke’s gospel soul Cerra has not forgotten to include a contemporary blues touch with bright New Orleans colours, in the path of Allen Toussaint or Fats Domino In short words, an excellent piece of work that comes from this versatile musician, impressive singer, good saxo player and excellent song writer, who has also chosen first class musicians to back him, such as Albert Lee, James Gadson, Lee Thornburg or his close friend Todd Parsnow among other ones, not mentioned here for space reasons One cd that deserves a place in any record collection, especially if you not only love blues, but good music in general
