notes
In this follow up the his Blue Groove album, David Wells takes us deeper into the raw emotional power of the blues and into his twisted, funny side with songs such as PMS, Crazy (no, really crazy for you), Insignificant Other, etc. His song writing and guitar playing are superb. His singing is backed by Jessica Purse and Hussain Jiffry, both of whom toured with Sergio Mendez among others.
The band is composed of some of the best jazz and blues-rock players in Los Angeles. You can hear the fun they had in creating this album. Tom Brechtlein (credits with Robben Ford, Chick Chorea, Al Di Meola, etc.) lays solid grooves on the drums. Hussain Jiffry (played with Whitney Houston, Carol King, Michael Bolton, etc.) pushes the envelope on the bass. Russell Ferrante (of the YellowJackets, Lee Ritenour, Bobby McFerrin, etc) on keyboards and new on this album, a horn section comprised of Wendall Kelly, Mike McGuffin and Rick Rossi fill out the sound.
Crank it up and get ready for a good time.
