There is no doubt about Skip MacDonald's skills, musical wisdom and risk (the man behind the group LITTLE AXE). Together with his excellent band of contributors offers an amazing mix of XXIII century blues.

It's really unusual to find this type of recordings today. Specially during these days of hit orientated marketed and targeted artists & albums. That makes this record even more noticeable. Skip and his friends from the bands SUGARHILL GANG or TACKHEAD, first created HIP HOP when they were studio musicians at Sugarhill Records, and moved forward the BLACK & INDUSTRIAL ROCK with the band TACKHEAD, before anybody else at that time. Now with this excellent band they are putting a new tag "Electronic blues". Highly recommended.

I am a long-time Blues and House lover. This album and all his others are a great melding of the two styles. Moby must have taken the style he uses in "Natural Blues" from Little Axe. I was introduced to "Rockin' Shoes" on XM Radio's Blues channel and have never looked back.

This review is for the MP3 DOWNLOADS, not the CD. The songs Pray and Prisoner have errors in them from when they were mastered to MP3. A horrible clicking noise runs through both songs. Probably from defective media. The Song No More Mourning skips like crazy.
