The Lucas Haneman Express consists of Lucas Haneman/voc-g, Jeff Asselin/dr-perc Megan Laurence/voc-tamb and Martin Newman/b-voc. They specialize in rootsy blues tunes, and with Steve Marriner from MonkeyJunk on harmonica, get down and dirty on the moaning “The Verdict” and a Muddy Waters’ infected take of Bryan Adams’ “Run To You.” Laurence sounds sinister as she belts it out with Jesse Whitely’s keyboards on Firestorm” while she sighs with Haneman’s guitar on the deeply indigo’d “Love Shine.” The team gives out a frantic read of Steppenwolf’s acid rock chestnut “Magic Carpet Ride” and the go head banger on “Working Band.” Lots of grit between the frets.
