#Throwbackthursday to April 23rd #BluesRock super album #BadderToTheBone "crushing" #musicreview from my hometown #DetroitBluesSociety 🧱 "#ElizaNeals “Badder To The Bone” crushes it! Don’t be fooled Eliza Neals’ latest release, “Badder To The Bone” (E-H Records) brims with original blues-rock-nine out of ten to be exact. From the first track- a #BoDiddley beater titled “#UnitedWeStand” - Neals’ #sultryvoice digs in and doesn’t let the listener forget whose record this is. Wrapped in smoke and velvet, gravel and silk, it cuts through the rich instrumental fury and sticks with you after each song ends, like a pleasant aftertaste in your ear. Then standout track on “Badder to the Bone” is “#QueenoftheNile” (from whence the releases title is birthed), which I first heard on SiriusXM’s B.B. Kings #Bluesville channel-always a good sign. #Guitarsolo aficionados will love #LanceLopez’ labor, but don’t forget to listen for #PeterKeys’ effective #HammondB3 work. And-bonus!-the release includes two versions of the #slowblues thriller. Other strengths on this blues-rock showcase include the #rumba -flavored “#BucketofTears”, Detroit's #BillyDavis’ unmistakable guitar on “#GotAGun” , #MichaelPuwals’ slide work on “#FuelingMeUp”, and the flexible #keyboard interplay on “#Heathen”, featuring Neals on piano and #JohnGalvin on #B3. An admirable version of #SteveWinwood’s “Can’t Find My Way Home” is the only cover on the release, clocking in at two minutes longer than the original. Lopez’ guitar skills are again on display. Don’t take my word for it. “We know she’s good and this album conforms it”, says #BluesNewsNorway, “Album with imperceptible faults”, says #SoulBag France. And, “Badder to the Bone” is already collecting award nominations. It’s available from #AmazonMusic, Bandcamp, MelodySale, Spotify, and of course at ElizaNealsDOTcom. By Ken Martin."
