Cathy Grier + The Troublemakers: I’m All Burn

Cathy Grier songs and  plays a bluesy guitar with heat along with a team of guitarists Billy Flynn, Greg Koeh, Jim Ohlschmidt, bassists Tony Menzer-Greg Roteik, drummers Jamey Clark-Matt Liban, keyboardists Larry Byrne-Jimmy Voegeli and a backing horn, harmonica and vocal team. The horns and some Memphis soul to the funkier tunes lik e”I’m All Burn” and “Keep You Out” as well as the upbeat “Down On My Knees”. She sways to the boogaloo-ing “Question of Desire” and boogies like ZZ Top on the shuffling “Key To My Survive”. Her voice is earnest and richly leathered, ominous on the dark “Get Me Away” and earthy with the slide guitar on the rural “Cathy’s Bike Song”. She serves up a blue plate special.
