LATEST CD: "BLUES SHOCK"
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING Billy Branch, a fire-kissed harp-playing protegé of blues great Willie Dixon, …[and] the Sons of Blues have constructed a daring new release, one that blends a series of tough-minded, cliche-free originals with inventively re-imagined takes on classic tracks ― never giving an inch to age, convention or expectations... In short, Blues Shock is aptly named, combining things you’d expect and things you most certainly would not from a modern blues recording ― but somehow, perhaps only through Branch’s steely force of will (well, and his spit-flinging harp), it all works.
