Dave Riley
and Bob Corritore - Hush Your Fuss! (VizzTone)
This third offering from the ‘Mississippi
meets Chicago’ pairing provides a welcome antidote to those pious and cynical blues
purists who continually bemoan the lack of depth in today’s music scene.
Having toured intensively and
recorded regularly together for the last eight years, singer/guitarist Riley
and harmonica virtuoso Corritore have crafted a more or less definitive fusion
of their respective backgrounds and influences, grafting it onto a set of
mostly new material which stands up to comparison with many of their forebears.
Rootsy, story-based songs are
delivered at a measured and self-assured pace providing a strong vehicle for
their individual talents and living proof that the spirit of the blues survives
and thrives. Not convinced? Go directly to ‘Baby Please Come Home’, ‘Snuff
Dippin’ Woman’ or the magnificent ‘Mississippi Po’ Boy’ to
test the proof of the pudding.
