Lone Star Mojo: A Shot of The Blues

The Texas team of Joe Splawn/B3-voc, Mark Snyder/g/voc, Tim Maloney/b and Barry Sloan/dr bring in guests Scott Biggs/slg, Doc Louie Luton/ag and Vanity Washington/voc for a rollicking juke joint affair. Splawn’s Hammond hums and moans on the growling shuffle of “Good Blues Travels Fast”, and is ominous with Maloney on the dark “She Really Loves The Blues”. Snyder’s guitar goes eight to the bar  around the Hammond on “Corner Boogie” and sears on a Chicago bound train on the slow burning “ A Shot of the Blues”. Both singers sound like they’re trying to cut down to two packs a day, , even on the reggae’d “What Do You Feel”. Low ceilinged pulses.
