More reviews from the boys at Blue Suit:

All The King's Men-Sweetfish Records

The king's head guitar man Scotty Moore and drummer D.J.Fontana team up
with various admiring super stars for a rocka billy jaunt down Highway
61. Steve Earle, Joe Ely , Lee Rocker are amongst the drivers of this
boogie -woogie party .The strongest performance is turned in by Keith
Richards anr Mr. Levon Helm. Their tribute to rock and roll roadster is
worth price of the whole she-bang. I give it 3 and half blasts of Old
Factory Whistle (one blast and you're through for the day), no porkchops nor side  dishes necessary.

Carey Bell Good Luck Man Alligator Records
Chicago has always been famous for its harmonica players: people like Big
Walter Horton and Little Walter Jacobs defined a honking sound that has
been imitated all over the world. Today Carey Bell wears the crown for
the best Mississippi saxophone player in Chi-town. 'Good Luck Man ' finds
Carey at the top his game. Fronting a young enthusiatic band , Carey
covers songs by his teachers Big Walter, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and
Jimmy Reed. Mr. Bell lets the big sound rip on Marine Bands and chromatic
harmonicas, and chases it down with some big time blues shouts. His
instrumental work-out on"Bell Hop" is as good or better than some of
Little Walter's lengendary rockers. So put on your do-rag, grab a tall cool
one and head to southside of Chicago with Carey Bell, the last of the
master blasters. I give this one four grilled polish sausages, a side of
greasy greens,and big slice of sweet potato pie.

Kelly Jo Phelps  Roll Away The Stone    Rykodisc
A strong release from a newcomer into a growing field of country blues
revivalists. Kelly Jo shows his reverence for the masters with his rendition of Skip James' "Cypress Grove" and Blind Lemon's "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean." This one is so haunting you better turn the lamps down low and  pour a glass of brown liquor in a dirty glass, then get out the three pork chops with extra hot sauce.
