This group apparently only made two CDs both from 1994, which is really a shame! This is rocking blues when it is best and I highly recommend both this and their other CD: Swamp Water. Good guitar-work and nice vocals.

This is one of my favorite Rockin' Blues CD's. It has great guitar, soulful singing, and gets your toe's a tapping! Great covers of Frank Zappa and Percy Mayfield too. Don't pass this up.

There are plenty of average blues bands on the scene that produce fairly good quality, sometimes enjoyable CD's and then there is BackBone Slip. It is hard to find any redeeming quality about this disc. The cover's of JB Lenoir's "Mama, Talk To Your Daughter", Ray Charles "A Fool For You" and Jimmy Reed's "Bright Lights, Big City" are performed with absolutely no enthusiasm or feeling. You get the impression that these guys are merely going through the motions. The covers of Son Terry's "Walk On" and Joe William's "Big Legged Woman", while slightly better can only be described as mediocre. The CD includes two bonus songs only available on the CD, wow!. Those two songs are Frank Zappa's (that's right, Frank Zappa) "Trouble Everyday" and Percy Mayfield's "Dangerzone". both songs will make you wish you purchased the cassette. Blue Wave has a stable of talented musicians. Unfortunately, this group is not one of them. Two stars is being generous!
