"JAZZ is my religion and it alone do I dig. The jazz clubs
are my houses of worship and sometimes the concert halls,
but some holy places are too commercial (like churches) so I
dont dig the sermons there. I buy jazz sides to dig in
solitude." - Feinstein

i would also postulise that the majority of the new album is old material, with the plausible exception of the prepared piano pieces... which i think make the album listenable. :)

This is the straight up blues album, recorded at Sun Studios, that I always
thought Blood had in him -- but never thought he'd make. Sorta like Ornette
doing a straight album of Bird compositions. Blood is a great blues singer
and player, and this CD is as genuine and vital as any new blues album I've
heard in a while (altho my blues listening is far far from comprehensive).
He does Evil and Hoochie Coochie Man and Just Wanna Make Love to You and
the like.
On the other hand, zornlister James Hale gave it an average *** review in
Downbeat. If I recall, he was disappointed that Blood and Vernon Reid
didn't wail a bit more in their distinctive vernaculars.

C'mon Patrice. You've already admitted to everybody that you're not an
intellectual. Give it a rest and enjoy your holidays.
