What happens when you mix legendary blues guitarist Key Frances with ace cellist Michael Kott and master percussionist Mark Clark?
Better yet, what is you put them inside a large copper pyramid in Santa Fe NM, during a new moon and
ask them to record a live album of unrehearsed songs?
This CD is exactly what happens, and it's one hell of a thrill ride.
Seattle native Key Frances has painted yet another musical masterpiece with this "live and unrehearsed" offering.
The music will take you places that you didn't even know existed.
The guitar playing is reminiscent of Buddy Guy and Stevie Ray Vaughan,
and the vocal flights of fancy are akin to B.B.King or Howlin' Wolf.
Musically speaking, there are many highlights here.
The guitar solo during "Ancient Love" is a thing of beauty,
as is the guitar tone itself, all throughout the album.
The sizzling boogie of "Just This Far" will delight blues fans young and old.
And their cover of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" is truly a treat.
How could something unrehearsed sound so good? Well, the proof is certainly in the pudding.
This album stands head and shoulders above any live recording from the last five years.
