Blue-eyed soul singers John McLean and Charles Barkatz lead a team of Derek O’ Brien/g, Nick Connelly/key-B3, Chris Maresh /b, John Chipman/dr and guess The Texas Horns on some funky foot stomping blues. The team sounds like a gritty take of the Average White Band on pieces like “Leaky Shoes Blues” and the soul streamed “Brooklyn Blues Café” with dark mellow guitar tones on “Lucia” and the hip fluid flow of “ Sister Of Mine”. The McLean delivers lyrics like a young Tom Waits on “Shadow Man” and the gents get gritty on “Bathtub Blues”. The unlit part of town.
