Black Shuck Records artist: Big Bill Morganfield - Blues With A Mood - New Release Review
I just received the new release, Blues With A Mood , by Big Bill Morganfield and it's quite good. Opening with Muddy's Look At What You Done , Morganfield wastes no time at all getting into a cool Chicago groove. Featuring Morganfield on vocal, Steve Guyger this is a great track. Havin' Fun is a slower number along the lines of How Long Blues. Augie Meyers plays a very nice piano piece on this and is joined by Colin Linden with some cool acoustic guitar work. Money's Gettin' Cheaper opens with Eddie Taylor Jr. on a real sweet T-Bone style guitar solo and Morganfield delivers on a real nice Texas style loping blues. This is a real cool swing blues track. Willie Dixon's Ooh Wee provides a nice platform for Big Bill's vocals and the strong harp attack of Guyger who really does a nice job on this track. No Butter For Miy Grits is a swampy old style track with nice slide work from Linden and adds harp work from Richard Doc Malone. A story telling style track...
