Sometimes I wonder if Australian Dave Hole's slide virtuosity is too much of a good thing. Don't get me wrong; I own everything he's ever done, but sometimes his slide work is just so over the top that it makes your fillings rattle. Hole is just a monster on this, his first release, and on his subsequent albums he shows no sign of slowing down. And he tears it up live, too. Grab anything you can by this guy and find out what you've been missing.

I've heard all the blues artists. Some good, some not so good and a few are great...Dave Hole is great. If you love blues but still like to rock, this will blow you're mind. A must have, in my opinion, for any blues fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slide rattling good, May 15, 2001

This is Dave Hole's first album which came to light because he sent the album to US Guitar Player magazine and blew the reviewer away. Ten years on I find many tracks which are still great and many tracks now less than memorable. Dave's slide is still the highlight with none better than the title track 'Short fuse Blues'. Other feature tracks are 'Purple Haze', 'Albatross', 'Travelling riverside blues' and 'the sun is shining'. However, there are too many songs on which Dave's energy exceeds his talent. High energy blues/rock which is still worth a place in my collection.
