With her thirteenth \u201cThunder In The House\u201d, Detroit coming force of nature, Eliza Neals, has unleashed a terrific sound storm. Following the path of the acclaimed \u201cBadder To The Bones\u201d, Neals confirms her status as one of the undisputed actual blues queens, delivering a nine-track album she describes as an “antidote for the soul\u201d.<\/p>\n
From the opening song \u201cSpeedy Beady\u201d to the deep rhythm of \u201cLove Will,\u201d the album drives listeners into a deep atmosphere full of groove and mysticism. Neals\u2019 vocals masterfully move between roar and whisper, with a gritty, whiskey-soaked texture that could remain Janis Joplin\u2019s one but with the technical precision of her classic opera training, Her vocal delivery hits breathtaking peaks on tracks like \u201cWicked Heart,\u201d supported by incisive guitar solos and a Fender Rhodes touch that adds a spiritual, postmodern layer to the whole recording.<\/p>\n
A wise production by her long-time collaborator Michael Puwal, manages to capture the raw Detroit essence, allowing that instruments like Hammond B3 organ breathe fire in every song. The record closes with the track that gives tittle to it, \u201cThunder In The House,\u201d a masterclass of dark, swampy blues that leaves a lasting mark, thanks to Puwal\u2019s exceptional slide guitar work.<\/p>\n
In short words, Neals doesn\u2019t just honor the genre, she boosts it forward with a songwriting maturity and a raw energy that few artists can match today. A fine well-crafted album that proves that if you hear a thunder in the house, Eliza Neals\u2019 lightning is included and not far behind. VERY GOOD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
