4.0 out of 5 stars If you like your blues raw & gritty, October 23, 2000

This review is from: Motor City Mojo (Audio CD)

Harmonica Shah (aka Seward Shah) blasts his way through 10 blues numbers by various artists such as Jimmy Reed, Elmore James and Earl Hooker as well as a host of self penned (some liberties here!) tunes.

The backing band(s) are complementary to Shah's over the top blowin'. Tasty guitar work by Little Jr. Cannaday and Joe Mitchell along with three excellent piano men round out the sound.

If you like your blues delivered in a smoky, urban dive and served up with a shot of cheap whiskey, then you will dig this CD. Listen closely to Shah's rendition of "The Sky Is Crying" and you'll hear him turning on his bullet mic just before he rips off a gut wrenching solo. Pure magic!

This is the first album that Harmonica Shah put out and does not get much feedback like the later ones.

I have them all except for the latest one and they are all good in different ways.

Motor City Mojo I would describe as a no frills blues album played with a lovely simplicity of style and absolutely no pyrotechnics or over flashy modern playing. It's the real deal low down and dirty blues.

Don't be put off by the rather extreme lyrics of track one but don't play it for your mother in law or local priest !!!!
