Blues Revue

Still on the southern beat, a spin of Rick Moore's superior Slow Burnin' Fire (Mr. Lucky 7711) unveils roots-rockin' tunes with lots of texture and multi-guitar arrangements from Moore, Nole Roy and Jimmy Nalls. Y'all will dig the swampy "Chicken House Blues," the funky grind of "Make Loving You My Business" and the simmering R&B ballad "Let Me Down Easy." Secret Weapon: Wayne Jackson's brass.
