5.0 out of 5 stars and I thought the North Mississippi All Stars were great, October 27, 2000

A few weeks ago the North Mississippi All Stars gave me one of the most intense musical experiences of my life in a small venue in Philadelphia. So I decided to check out Mark Selby and Kenny Wayne Shepherd when they appeared at a much larger venue this week. Mark Selby convinced me that I really have been a fool for ignoring blues-rock ever since my friends in college failed to turn me on to the Alman Brothers. I bought this CD from Mark during the break after his set. I was amazed that with a house full of Kenny Wayne Shepherd fans, hardly anyone was paying attention to the guy who wrote so many of his hits. But the real treat was the next night when I listened to More Storms Comin' while driving home from a very disappointing performance by two bands that were in my preferred style of pop-rock. This is a fantastic CD. Listening to the North Mississippi All Stars CD makes me wonder why I found their live performance so compelling. Listening to More Storms Comin' makes me wonder why Mark Selby is so under-appreciated.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic From the First Note, September 29, 2000

Mark Selby may have gained notariety writing songs for others like Kenny Wayne Shepherd and the Dixie Chicks, but this CD shows that Mark deserves a spotlight all his own. More Storms Comin' contains songs in the great blues styles from classic acoustic to rocking blues in the traditions of Stevie Ray Vaughn and ZZ Top. Mark creates visual images and communicates feelings in every song. Mark creates upbeat fun in songs like "Don't You Throw That Mojo On Me" and "What Am I Doin'", and shares a great deal of depth with the acoustic "Down By The Tracks" and "Blind Since Birth". One of the few CD's you can own where you will want to play it over and over and over. A true classic from the first note. P.S. Don't miss him live!

If your main priority is guitar solos, than this may not be for you. It has some great solos but is mainly about great songs. This would be a gratest hits package where it anyone else. For Mark Selby "GREAT" seems to be the standard he starts from. On most of my better blues CD's any of these songs would be a standout. The fact that I regard most of the songs on my favourite blues CD's as good to great should tell you how brilliant this lot is. Not one song that wouldn't have HIT written all over it were it recorded by a main stream act. Although this isn't strictly blues it will satisfy even the most critical blues fan with a miriad of new treatments of some well worn blues grooves and stylings. Somehow Mark always manages to make it sound fresh and exciting. Even his nod to the old time blues artists "BLIND SINCE BIRTH" would have done any of the old legends proud had they penned it..
You'll sing along to each song after 2/3 listens. VERY CATCHY
