The 2 legends from the Chicago Blues scene, Bob Corritore and Willie Buck, join forces for these 10 timeless blues tracks.
The title track leads with Corritore’s unmistakable harmonica and Buck’s soulful pipes amid Billy Flynn’s warm guitar licks, and “She’s Alright” continues the authentic blues spirit with Bob Margolin’s playful guitar and Ben Levin’s fluid keys that suit Buck’s expressive pipes.
Halfway through, the bouncy and adventurous “Money Can’t Buy Everything” welcomes Jimi Primetime Smith’s rhythmic guitar to the infectious energy, while “Went Home This Morning” showcases Troy Sandow’s sturdy bass and Brian Fahey’s thumping drums that complement the grit.
Deeper yet, “Me And My Baby” enlists Anthony Geraci’s key acrobatics via the dynamic blues interaction, and “Let Me Find Out Your Name” exits with Flynn’s meticulous guitar, Wes Starr’s agile drumming and Bob Stroger’s precise bass helping cultivate a powerful and stylish finish.
Buck and Corritore are surrounded by some heavy hitters, and it makes for a superb old school Chicago blues affair that will always be relevant.
