The blues get raunchy and raucous with the snarling vocals of Marc Amacher, who also blows a howling harmonica and plays guitar with fellow ax man Philip Gerber, bassist Jurg Schmidhauser and drummer Christoph Berger. The band snarls through the boogie-ing “Kid”, gets funky on “J ack Driver” and takes a trip to Chicago with some searing solo work on “Ride On” and “Down With The B lues”. The moods get thick on ”Death Letter” , and there’s a maniacal take of “Smokestack lightning” that will make you run for cover. Keep the kids off the street!
