Enable Records artist: Walkin' Cane Mark - Tryin' To Make You Understand: Remastered - New Release Review
I just received the newest release, Tryin' To Make You Understand: Remastered , by Walkin' Cane Mark . Opening with Howlin' Wolf's Somebody's Walking/Somebody's In My Home, Mark wastes no time diving into the gritty blues. Kirk Hawley's guitar tones is great and Mark's vocals are a great match for his harp work on this super bluesy opener. Written with the help of Junior Wells, Tryin' To Make You Understand is classic Chicago with signature Wells phrasing. Arizona Woman , written by Chico Chism, is simple and bluesy with harp, vocal and slide guitar. JJ Cale's Rock and Roll Records keeps a stripped down Cale intention with only lightly delivered vocals and prominent harp over acoustic guitar. Ellada Ellada has a great Latin beat backed by John Rumbaugh on drums and Brenden McBride on bass. Tom T. Hall's That's How I Got To Memphis is a great song and Mark keeps it simple and clean. Very nice. Hot Chicago track, Let Me In While You...
