FIONA BOYES CONTINUES TO SIT AT THE TOP OF THE BLUES SCENE HERE IN AUSTRALIA. THIS IS HER THIRTEENTH SOLO RELEASE ALBUM AND IT'S HARD TO SAY, BECAUSE SHE HAD RELEASED SO MANY GREAT ALBUMS OVER THE LAST TWENTY YEARS OR SO, BUT PROBABLY HER BEST TO DATE. THE ALBUM FEATURES 12 NEW TRACKS (ALL PENNED BY FIONA AND MOSTLY WRITTEN DURING THE GREAT COVID LOCK-DOWN), MAINLY SOLO AND DUO ARRANGEMENTS, WITH INVENTIVE PERCUSSION, UNUSUAL INSTRUMENTS INCLUDING 3 AND 4 STRING CIGAR-BOX GUITARS AND NATIONAL RESOLECTRIC BARITONE - AND EVEN A COUPLE OF EVOCATIVE PAIRED-BACK INSTRUMENTALS. "THERE ARE SOME REAL GEMS IN HERE, A LOT OF FUN: SOME HEART-FELT SENTIMENTS: GREAT INSTRUMENTAL VARIATION AND LOADS TO CHEW ON, BOTH LYRICALLY AND MUSICALLY" (CAM FLETCHER, EDMONTON BLUES FEST., CANADA.) LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM RAISED VISIONS OF STEAMY NIGHT IN MEMPHIS WITH FIONA SITTING ON THE FRONT PORCH OF A RAMSHACKLE CABIN WITH THE WHITEWASH PEELING OFF THE WALLS AND THE NEIGHBOURS SITTING AROUND AND ALL HAVING A GREAT KNEE-SLAPPING TIME WITH THE OCCASIONAL HARP PICKING UP SOLO PARTS HERE AND THERE. ANOTHER BRILLIANT BLUES ALBUM, ONE FOR THOSE QUIET MOMENTS AT NIGHT, SITTING DOWN HAVING A BEER AFTER A HECTIC DAY AT WORK. ANOTHER SEVEN STAR RATING *******

TRACK LISTING: Devil Made Me Do It / Ramblified / One Day Late / About Time Business Took Care Of Me / Joy Is Back In Style / The Revenant (instr.) / Good Lord Made You So / One Rule For You / Love Changing Blues / Turnip Patch / Blues Ain't Hard To Find / Ramblified Revisited (instr.).
