Well stripped down but piano heavy makes it sluggish Review written by John Fitzgerald, June 26th, 2005 With other De Luxe Blues Band albums such as "Motorvating", I had found that the sax parts, though perhaps played by well respected musicians like Dick Heckstall-Smith, often held back the DLBB from tearing their way out of the cage so thankfully "Urban deluxe" has rid of the sax/horns but the problem here is that the piano is too loud in the mix which makes things kind of sluggish overall. The most obvious case being the rocking "Roll 'em Pete" though this was probably supposed to be the case on this song but even on the others you'll notice it. Though the mopey opener "Worried life blues" sets the tone that this may have been the results had the piano (again though played by THE man Bob Hall) been mixed down anyways. The speedy chugger "Promised land" has the piano on top again and "The stumble" here is pretty standard though maybe a little slower. The slow blues of "Sweet little angel" feels, and actually is, long due to it's slow speed but it does work well, so maybe there should have been more slow burners enclosed, there is another
one called "Knocking at your door" but it's almost fast enough to have a slight stroll feel even though it's not intended as such though the best one here is "Did you ever love a woman" with that familiar, gentle though perhaps overused opening riff that seems to appear on many 80's DLBB albums somewhere and here's where it pops up on this one, sounding much like the way it was on "Half Moon blues" from the "Live at the Half Moon Putney" album. By contrast, there are a couple of Chuck Berry numbers though oddly "Cadillac boogie" (which isn't a Berry tune) sounds more Berry-ish than "Promised land" does (which was one) though the closing rocker "It wasn't me" is as typical a Berry tune as you can find anywhere and then there's the obligatory Elmore James styled shuffle in "Wait baby". So to sum up, you'll be happy the horns have been aced but get ready to hear some loud piano chunking when hearing this.
