Singing and playing a nasty little harmonica, Matt Lomeo takes you to the sounds of vintage STAX sessions on this album with Billy Watts/g, Terry Wilson/b-g-key, James Cruce/dr, Teresa James/p, Kevin McKendree/key, Darrell Leonard/horns and Joe Bonamassa tenor saxist Paulie Cerra, who sears through a Memphis BBQ of “Took My Bar And Left Me”. What makes this album fun is that Lomeo writes everything, ranging from the 50s boogie of “Why Do I Cry” to a foot stomping “Accepting Applications” with a humming smoking low ceiling’d Hammond on “Take The Boulevard” to split the difference. His voice works on the romantic “Outside of A Song” and is comfortable on the boy-next-door “One More 1&1”, while his harp is like a wind of Lake Michigan on “27”. Fresh takes of a vintage style.
