Shirley Jackson and her band put on fire all concert halls and dance rooms with a repertoire that blends east coast blues with genuine old rock and roll, where horn sections had a prominent place This is their fourth album which has been rounded up in a period of two years, that becomes a powerful combination of swing, rhythm and blues, ballads and some instrumental songs to satisfy a wide range of listeners The recording includes sixteen tracks, nine of them Shirley Jackson’s own compositions Shirley’s voice and tenor sax are perfectly framed by her band musicians, with her son Jef Wirchenko on bass, who is also responsible the whole band repertoire arrangements, Dawn Hatfield on baritone sax, Dave Harrison on trumpet, Tom Crilley on guitar and Ainslie Jardine on drums The band cleverly displays an energetic repertoire, firmly based and full of suggestive harmonies After many years of a firm progress, Shirley Jackson and her band follow on spreading in their shows a bunch of good songs with the priceless stamp of those 50’s great honkers like Wild Bill Moore, Eddie Chamblee or Red Prysock
