Going through the motions, no roll or slide Review written by John Fitzgerald, May 14th, 2005 I must say first that Bob Hall is one of the best blues piano players I've ever heard. However, he's never been a great front person (as the poorer moments on Brunning Sunflower Blues Band releases will show) but this is where to go if you want to hear such banalities to the full. One hears most of the piano/harmonica/sax led tunes here and thinks they may have been better with electric guitar (as most guitar parts here are acoustic) but after hearing the one electric guitar featured number present, the grumbling shuffle "She fooled me", one can then see why the electric guitar parts were less welcome during the sessions. The liner notes don't state which songs Brunning plays on other than it noting that he plays the electric bass parts (as opposed to the acoustic ones) but I don't think I'll be sitting through this album too much to be able to guess which songs I think I hear electric bass on. "Close to you" is the opening shuffle which can't decide if it wants to be a fast stroll or have a slight swing, "Sober" is an almost quirky sounding pop like song, "Rooming house boogie" is a predictably fast sax/piano led tune, "Don't block my road" attempts to rock with acoustic guitars leading the way which doesn't work, "Hungry" is a more acceptable slow swing, "Stagolee" is an acoustic guitar led boogie, "Do it yourself" is a harp led speedy gallop, "Living with the blues" is a fast but somewhat mopey shuffle, "Number 29" is a sloppy fast stroll which at least tries to have an original sounding steps effect on it's piano parts, "I ain't got none" sounds like latter day John Mayall, similar to his "Yo yo man" from "Along for the ride" album but no where near as good and the closing "Walk the streets of the city" sounds like a gospel stomp without the choir. It may be one of the easier Brunning recordings to track down due to it's CD release but don't let that fool you in to thinking it's one of the better ones because it's not, at least I don't think so anyways.
