4.0 out of 5 stars
Shah In Top Form!,
By deepbluereview "deepbluereview" (SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tell It to Your Landlord (Audio CD)
Shah's latest release is a his best to date. Shah brings his brand of raw, Detroit blues to the forefront with his gritty vocals, streetwise lyrics and powerful harp. Combine that with the exceptional slide guitar of Detroit local Howard Glazer and a very tight rhythm section and you have the recipe for one very good release. The CD features 67 minutes of eleven original tunes and one cover of "Baby, Scratch My Back." The somewhat nonsensical "Bumpity Bump" and the often overdone "Scratch My Back" are probably the weakest tunes on the CD but, with those two exceptions, the remaining tracks are right on the money.
4.0 out of 5 stars
very good Shah's record 'Tell It to Your Landlord',
This review is from: Tell It to Your Landlord (Audio CD)
I agree with "deepbluereview" in that this 'Tell it to your landlord' is a good record, and I think concretely that except the two limp and some
monotonous themes "Baby, Scratch My Back" and the somewhat nonsensical "Bumpity Bump" the record features authentic Detroit's Blues. According to PENGUIN GUIDE BLUES RECORDS in this BLUES record there's too much rock-guitar carpet bombing, Shah' s lyrics are often sketchy, shorts-winded first drafts, and the combination of peak material and undisciplined accompaniment makes the limitations of his playing and singing more apparent. Maybe PENGUIN's criticism is technically more accurate than mine, being only a blues lover. Also it is even possible that after your first listening you can relatively agree with some of Penguin's comments. But I believe that the criticism is overstated because after several listenings the record leaves a great flavour of genuine Blues. I give it 4 stars.
