The Oscar Wilson/Joe Nosek-led blues
band continue to move forward with their
vintage ‘50s-flavored Chicago sound. All
the touchstones of love, money and good
times are engagingly addressed in tracks
by founding fathers like John Lee Hooker,
Jump Jackson. But there are also a number
of originals here, such as “Download Blues” and “Gotta Move Out to the Suburbs.” These two songs, in particular, shine a spotlight on contemporary issues wrapped in a traditional bow. This may be something the band should consider doing more of in the future. – Eric A. Harabadian
