 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Slideways , from Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials and it's terrific! Opening with Bad All By Myself , Lil' Ed on lead guitar and vocal, gets things rocking right off the bat. With Michael Garrett playing a strong rhythm line reinforced by James "Pookie" Young and Kelly Littleton on drums, this is a great opener. The Flirt In The Car Wash Skirt is a great blues rocker with raucous slide work by Lil' Ed and Ben Levin on piano really gets this track boogieing. Vital rhythm guitar work by Garrett and a rock solid bottom makes this one of my favorites on the release. Elmore James flavored, 13th Street And Trouble , is a strong track with a pounding bottom and super piano work by Levin. Lil' Ed has this track by the short hairs and is really shaking it. Cooking!

Opening with rocker, You Can't Say I Didn't Love You , Brian Langlinais establishes his ground as lead vocalist backed by James Pennebaker on lead guitar, Steve Conn on keys, Lynn Williams on drums and Ron Eoff on bass with cool backing vocals by Charlene Howard and powerful horn work by Roy Agee on trombone, Steve Hermann on trumpet and Randy Leago on sax. On Wilson Piclett's, Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You , accordion work by Conn, nice piano and organ work by Patterson Barrett and backing vocals by Jonell Mosser set a real interesting pace. Title track, Right Hand Road , has a definite country blues feel with acoustic slide resonator work by D.L. Duncan and mandolin work by Barrett. Very cool. One of my favorite tracks on the release, New Orleans flavored, Louisiana Love, has a really infectious groove pairing Langlinais with Moss...
