Blues with humour
author: Richard
He’s a hitman with a sense of humour and the chops to back it up. I bought this CD after hearing The Blues Can’t Hit What The Blues Can’t Catch and have never beeen happier to catch a case of the blues with the Hitman. His affable personality shows he is quite at home on the stage at Stoneybrook University. In addition to the songs themselves, I especially love his between song patter, especially his “ Hey you in the back, put that crackberry down and listen to this” line before he launches into A Fine Piece of Merchandise, which is one of many outstanding tracks including The Blues Can’t Hit… and Slither, which should be the theme song for any man who has ever been in love with a woman who is taken. And his cover of Boom, Boom, almost resurrects the ghost of old John Lee Hooker himself.Sweet.
